MISSHA Magic Cushion Foundation No.21 Natural Beige for light with neutral skin tone - Flawless Coverage, Dewy Finish, Easy Application for All Skin Types

As someone who has very, very pale skin, I was a bit iffy about buying this product when there wasn't that many shades. But when I saw that it was said to be for people with pale skin, I took my chance. I have very oily skin and have many acne scars so coverage is something that is the most important factor for me when buying a foundation.Unfortunately, I was disappointed when I received and opened my package as I instantly knew that it was far too dark for my skin. Still, I decided to put it on and can contest that it has good coverage and doesn't feel heavy or cakey on the skin nor does it leave behind the appearance of massive pores. I left it on for two hours side by side with the foundation i currently use and it hadn't gotten oily nor did i have to top up as it hadn't broken apart on the oily parts of my skin.I was hoping to find more shades but came up short as if I had found a lighter shade i would have bought it. Would definitely think abt buying again if lighter shades were made available.TL;DR: good coverage, not cakey looking or heavy on face, hid my large pores but the shade was far too dark for me and to the bottom of my make up bag never to be used again it goes.Edit: I decided to give this another chance and oh how much of a fool i was the first time putting it on. Instead of layering it on, i put a small layer on and it was a LOT paler the second time, though it was still just that bit too dark (blending it into my neck got rid of this problem.)As for longevity, this is the best foundation i have ever used.i have very, very oily skin AND i work as a trainee in a hair salon so that means i get sweaty and very flushed within the first three hours. However, i used this product and i checked it repeatedly through out the day and i only had to top up ONCE (around my chin area and upper lip but that’s a given and i didn’t even really need too but i just wanted to make it look fresher.) This was at 1:30 and i had done blow dries and everything. I also used no primer and very little powder and the makeup looked so fantastic by the end of the day (at 5:10 pm) that i went home and even kept it on for a bit because it still looked amazing! And it was so easy topping up as there wasn’t hassle of getting out a beauty blender and a tube of foundation AND a mirror! And it felt so natural on my face!I also have such a bad habit of putting my hands on my face to cool myself down as i get very flushed very easily, and when i did it with my makeup i was SO horrified because i was so convinced that i had just taken half of it off or left hand prints. But when i went to check, there was no foundation on my hands and nothing had been smudged on my cheeks!I had so many people compliment me (even had one person ask me if she’d seen me before... lol) and i NEVER wear make up to work solely because i hated the hassle of keeping it fresh throughout the day and ignoring how heavy it would become; but not anymore! The makeup never once felt heavy or cakey and it was so easy to apply in the morning!i’m taking this foundation and never letting it get away from me or hide at the bottom of my bag! Though i would still love it if it was that bit paler - just a teeny tiny bit?really and truly a fantastic product and i felt so much more confident wearing it!

I love this foundation even though it isn’t transfer proof. It gives me a finish that I’ve never been able to replicate with a brush or a sponge, and is buildable to full coverage. It looks like natural skin even with many layers and on textured skin. I get hormonal acne around my jaw and it does a great job of covering this. When the spots are dark red & hard to cover (like in my photos) I will use a touch of concealer after i have applied it. My photos show before & after I applied 3-4 thin layers. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because it does wear off, I tried it with different primers & invested in a good setting spray which helps a little, but I would advise trying not to touch your face while wearing this & bringing it with you for touch ups. (I might try their bb cream in the same shade to see if this helps. Despite this, it is the only foundation ive used in the last year & will keep buying it.

SHADE: I was sceptical at first because of the limited choice of shades (I am quite pale, more into cool/neutral shades) so im often disappointed with yellow shades. I went for the first/lightest shade and I am quite surprised with how well it looks on my skin. I wouldn’t say it’s a cool shade but definitely not warm either. It’s hard to say and the photos won’t show properly either. It however melts on the skin and i would say it adapts to the skin tone a bit (unless i perfectly matched the shade).COVERAGE: This product gives low to medium coverage but it’s buildable so it’s easy to top up another layer without any extra heaviness. It goes well over any scars/discolouration/acne however it would not cover it completely. It’s a smooth, not heavy finish, not matt either.USAGE: It is my first time using a product of this type but i am very surprised by it. I really like how easy it is to use, very practical, not messy and great for keeping in your handbag (travelling as well). You just dab on the sponge/cushion and spread over the face. You need very little product first but you can add more as needed.OVERALL: definitely recommend it once you figure out your shade. I think it’s a quality product, not drying, not heavy on the skin and the brand itself is great.
