It has been a long time since makeup cushion BB cream came out to the market, I don't know why it has never been appealing to me. Maybe it's the concept of BB cream never really worked for my skin so I wasn't urging to try until few weeks ago and one of my friends asked my opinions about it then I realised I had never tried any, the feeling of missing out on something made me start out a splurge on makeup cushion BB creams and here is the first one came in the mail.
I know there are so many famous Korean brands have good reputations of making Cushion Foundation / BB cream like Hera and Laneige, I did order them as well and will review once receive them, and this Face Coating Angel cushion isn't the first one people would order usually, but I guess its the lace design attracted me to purchase it. I got this one off Ebay for AUD 23 (1AUD = 0.78 USD atm), it comes in 13g + 8g refill tube which I think it's decent size for the price I paid, plus the packaging is just so freaking cute.
As most of the Makeup Cushion BB cream, this one also comes in the sturdy box with a considerable big mirror, a sponge on the top of a plastic cap to keep the actual product wet and sealed, which is a neat packaging for bring it around on the road or traveling.
There is a sticker on the top of the cushion make up and you will need to peel it off before using it the first the time.
Since this is my first cushion BB cream foundation I don't really have a comparison on the sponge as yet, all I can say is it's dense and soft which helps absorb the products and press into the skin quite well.
I ordered this one in Dark Angel which is a darker shade out of the 2 shades they have. As you might know, Korean cosmetics emphasize the pale Asian skin tones so their light shade would be really pale for me. Not that I cannot pull that off, but I like my skin to be more natural and slightly tanned to match the rest of my body. So I would say the colour is still a little light for my liking but I guess when we get in winter my natural tan fades away a little, it will be fitting my skin colour bit better.
You can see the cushion foundation on my finger. Secret Kiss foundation cushion does not feel greasy. I was skeptical about using makeup cushion bb cream at first. Its not that bad once you dip your finger in and apply the cushion foundation to your skin.
It blends quite easily into the skin and don't cling onto the dry patches however it is definitely not a matte finish cream and don't have too much of coverage. My skin is combination and never really has dry patches, so I will need to touch up after 4 hours around nose and forehead area, but it is still ok on the rest of my face. If you like the dewey look on your face, I will say go ahead and try this one out but if you are looking for a matte and long lasting one for oil skin, I would not recommend this one. There is no scent at all, so I am guess this should also work for sensitive skin??? Don't take my words for it, my skin isn't really sensitive, it didn't irritate me but I will still suggest you to test around your jaw line before putting it onto your full face.
All in all, I will give the Secret Kiss Face Coating Angel Cushion a rating of 3.5 out of a 5 stars, I would like it more if it had some lasting power and a little less dewy finish. My skin has been behaving ok so I don't really need too much of coverage so this one is doing ok for me on covering some minor discolourations and marks.
