I’ve always been a light base girl — a little tinted SPF, maybe some concealer under the eyes, and I’m out the door. Cushions felt intimidating, like I’d mess it up and end up with cake face. But then, I met JUNGSAEMMOOL Essential Skin Nuder Cushion.

I wasn’t expecting much — maybe just decent coverage and a skin-like finish. But the moment I tapped that puff on my cheek, it felt like all the YouTube tutorials I’d ever watched clicked in my hand. The formula melts into the skin, not on top of it. It’s not heavy, but it smooths and slightly blurs the texture in a way that feels natural and intentional.

Coverage? Honestly impressive for something that still looks like skin. It evens out redness, covers small blemishes, and doesn’t cling to dry patches. I was scared it might look dewy and slide off mid-day, but it settles into a soft semi-glow that stays neat for hours.

Even the puff is well-designed — flexible, easy to control, and doesn’t pick up too much product. The packaging is sleek, functional, and feels luxe. I’ve been applying this at 8AM before work, and it holds up until after dinner with just a quick midday blot.

Now I finally get why Korean cushion foundations have a cult following. This one didn’t just convert me — it made me look forward to doing my makeup every day.
