Banila Co. Coverlicious Ultimate White Cushion 21 Ivory

🔔Skin Type: Shade 21 Summer Cool Light🔔

Hosu: First of all, since I usually prefer natural makeup, I like shades that are half a tone lighter than my skin tone rather than bright shades.
Banila Co. didn't turn out as bright overall as I expected. So, even when I applied shade 21, it actually felt like only half a tone brightened. I think if you usually use shade 21 for natural makeup, it would be good, but if you prefer a radiant look, shade 19 would probably suit you well. I highly recommend doing a skin test beforehand!

Coverage: The coverage is quite good. I liked that it covered imperfections well. It isn't a moisturizing type, but has a semi-matte finish, which I liked. It feels like it would be good to use even in the summer. It covers small bumps and blemishes quite well. Since I have combination skin (oily T-zone, dry cheeks), I prefer a matte texture, so this was the finish I liked.

Longevity: It doesn't wear off badly either. My skin type isn't naturally oily, and I tend to get dry during transitional seasons, so I was worried, but as long as I take good care of my skin, it didn't crack or get oily. I'm not sure how it will be in the summer, but for the current season, the staying power seems decent.

Pros: Since it's a magnetic type, it opens conveniently. Usually, push-to-open types are a hassle, but being able to open it just by turning it is surprisingly convenient. The cushion also has a firm texture, so it applies well! I think you will be satisfied as long as you purchase a shade that matches your skin tone well!

Recommended for: If you like semi-matte cushions, I recommend this. It isn't on the bright side, so if you want natural coverage of your skin tone, I recommend purchasing the shade you originally chose. However, I highly recommend visiting Olive Young to test it out and check the color payoff.

It's not as bright as I expected, so I recommend testing it out yourself.
