AGE20'S Signature Essence Pact SPF 50+ | Pack of 2 | 13 Ivory | Cream Foundation, Dewy Finish, Natural Coverage | Korean Cushion Foundation

I was skeptical but decided to give this a try after watching a couple youtube reviews. I have only used it once but so far I am impressed! The product gave me great coverage and smells amazing. It really matched my skin well. I am fairly light complected but like my foundation to not wash me out or make me look super pale. This gave me the look I prefer when wearing a foundation. It looked really natural and not like I had a ton of foundation on. By the end of the night it still looked good. It did not feel heavy or look cakey. Curious to see how my skin looks with continued use. I have combination skin. Sometimes it is super dry and other times it can be oily. This felt like it worked well for both dry and oily skin. I applied with the recommendations and from the suggestions from the youtube videos I watched. I ordered the color vanilla 1N i think it was called. This is also my first Korean skincare/make up so I do not have anything to compare it to. If you are on the fence, I say give it a try! I wish I would have snapped a before and after pic. Cannot wait to wear it all week to work and see how it holds up. Will update my review later if necessary.

All photos in natural lighting—hope it helps. LOVE THIS! For reference, only other “foundation” I’ll wear is T***e maracuja tinted hydrator (30N Light Neutral). I don’t like heavy make up at all, the feel or the look of it. Skin is real—has texture/pores and that ok. I have some newer sun spots but I’m not worried about a “full coverage”. I’m in my mid 30s so important to me to have hydrating products that don’t just settle into and accentuate my wrinkles. Like anyone else, I want to age as gracefully as possible and not load my skin full of junk to speed up the process. Ive tried just about every brand out there from drug store to higher end, BB/CC creams you name it. I bought in #13 Ivory. I thought it might be too light—it is on the lighter side but I use a bigger foundation brush, couple swirls and do more of a tapping/stamping motion where I’d do concealer. It smells and feels like the most high end skin care products. SMELLS SO FRESH. I only use Korean skin care now so it made sense to try out a foundation too. I’ve now tried a few brands but really like this one. Goes on so smooth—you can see the moisture seeping out of the product which I think is fun and why it feels so hydrating. I use it more like a generous concealer placement wise—around my eyes, across lids and on cheek bones, sides of nose, maybe a light layer on my chin or middle of forehead. Then I have a liquid bronze/contour I apply for dimension. I wasn’t sure of the shade but glad I took the risk. It comes with two large pans of product you insert into compact and I have had for several months already. Great price as t’ll easily last me a year. Very light weight, bright glowy, I work out in this too and it still looks good even after sweating. Really happy with it and I feel good about putting it into my skin, enhancing my skin vs masking it. If you can find your right shade, incredible product. Picture of product on my hand is just swatched—not blended in at all so easy to buff out. Can do my full face in 5-8 minutes.

I really love the formula and think it’s so unique. It’s not a typical “cushion”. It’s more of a creamy balm texture that reminds me of a foundation stick. It has a very glassy finish with both high coverage and a long wear time. It’s mildly waterproof too and also looks good powdered. I have dry skin and it wears really beautifully all day. No issues with it clinging to dry skin.My only complaint is with the color. My skin tone is on the upper extreme end of fair, so I can’t always get a fantastic shade match. I can sometimes pull off deeper shades because my face is naturally darker than the rest of my body, plus it’s normal to wear a darker shade. However, 13c shade is a little too obvious. The color is yellow despite being advised as pink. I’ll probably still wear it, just with white powder.

Exactly what I needed. I retired at the beach in Texas, USA. I needed something that I could reapply easily while out. I have to use sun screen several times a day. I need moisture and cooling, that feels light and hydrating. This is it!!! I have one in my purse and one in my backpack and one at my vanity. It’s a light coverage that is buildable. It works well as a base with my Dior forever makeup too for the fancy beach nights.I love that it hydrates and cools. It goes on so smooth, doesn’t get cakey, and at 64 years old it keeps my skin moisturized without drawing in all the humidity of the gulf islands.My skin is very light but not porcelain, I got the light first, then chose the light. It works great for me.

I have only had this on for a few hours but I am already in love. It leaves your skin with this wonderful dewy finish and depending upon how you choose to apply, decides how much coverage you have. I chose to use the cushion applicator so that it would look natural and it was so easy to apply. It took me maybe two minutes to do my whole face. I then used blurring setting powder for my t-zone. Next I will try a brush and finish with the cushion applicator. This is very different from the only other cushion foundation I have tried. It is very firm with the colored foundation mixed with an essence and you end up with latte art and you can see the essence beading on top. I have a feeling this would last longer than your standard cushion foundation but I don't know for sure. Spf 50 is fantastic too! I am so glad I spent time researching the shades because I think 23w is the first light, not fair, shade. It is a great match though I do wish it was a little more neutral. My mother didn't know I had anything on and she commented on how great my skin looked so that is how natural it can look. No cakeiness at all. I love that I can look dewy or matte depending on what I want it to look like. I wish I knew which type of primer will look best with it but I look forwarding to playing with it. I don't know how I never heard of this before a week ago considering all the awards it has. And buying the refill is so worth it especially if you can get it during a prime sale!
