[Etude House] AC Clean Up Mild BB Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ #03 Honey Beige

I would like to start to say that I LOVE [Etude House] AC Clean Up Mild BB Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ #03 Honey Beige. The shade is all wrong for me. I use Missha M Magic Cushion SPF50+/PA+++ No.27 but I am still keeping my Etude house. I use bronzer with it but it is still too light. Mostly wearing it in the confines of the home and yard but nowhere public. I tried it twice at work but will not try another time. The features of this cushion foundation are simply irresistible for me. The tea tree, the clean scent,the consistency, the formulation, the lightness and the finish. I just wish there was a darker and deeper shade to choose. I disagree that the product has little coverage. It was enough for me. I have a mild sun spot and some other skin issues that it covered up pretty well. I have a combination oily skin so I did not expect this to last the whole day. However, I set it with the Graftobian HD LuxeCashmere Setting Powder - Banana Creme Pie (0.7 oz) and it stayed on for 6 hours. I blotted only once and noticed some product transfer. I did not touch up the spot since the creasing might become more noticeable. Would I buy it again? No unless it will match my skin tone. Would I recommend? Yes if it matches their skin tone. It was mentioned this is yellow toned in a youtube review. I have a very yellow toned medium skin that is very hard to match. Aside from the Missha, the perfect shade match for me is Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Cushion Foundation, 220 Buff (C), 0.45 Ounce in 380 Bisque W. So I can only dream Etude House would be coming up with a cushion along the lines of.

This is the best BB cream I have ever tried. It isn't drying and doesn't cling to dry patches, yet it is also not greasy at all. The finish is not shiny or too dewy, but it also isn't matte and powdery looking. It ends up looking like natural healthy skin and doesn't feel like anything is caked on your face. I would say the coverage is light-medium. It makes my skin tone look more even allover, but it won't cover a dark blemish on its own. It doesn't break out my acne-prone skin. I can't really think of a specific way to describe the smell except to say that it's kind of herbal and not overly strong. This stuff can kind of rub off easily but otherwise will last all day. I usually don't reapply it throughout the day but if you touch your face or are very active you will need to reapply it occasionally. I also tend to have this issue where a lot of sunscreens and foundations make my eyes red and watery throughout the day, and that doesn't happen with this product. The only downside I can think of it is a little bit thin and therefore runs out faster than some bb cushions. However, it's affordable to replace so I don't think it's a bad deal.

The AC Clean Up Mild BB Cushion has good coverage. It is more cool tone than my skin, that is why it is okay. I would wish warmer tanner skin was more ideally beautiful in the Asian culture, but a girl can dream. I have honey golden skin, this makes me greyish and makes me look like I have A LOT of sun-screen on. The scent is tea tree oil, which I like. I wish the color matched me more.The packaging is nice and compact, I really just wished the color worked.

I really like this for the most part. For reference, I have very oily skin that gets pimples but not straight up acne. My skin tone is med-light tan with warm yellow undertones. The foundation shade I used in the past was L'oreal Infallible Matte Liquid Foundation in shade 105. I got this in #03 Honey Beige since many reviews said this ran darker than most #23 shades. I was kind of surprised that this foundation was a little light for me, but not too surprised since it's an Asian foundation. It's still wearable with some pressed tinted powder and bronzer on top though.Pros- It stays all day once I set it with loose powder (e.l.f. loose powder) and setting spray (NYX matte setting spray).- It makes my skin look smooth (and doesn't emphasize pores)- doesn't look cakey AT ALL- blends into skin very well- the applicator-circle thing is soft and smooth so it does a great job at like pressing the foundation right down into a smooth layer over your skinCons- Its only drawback is that upon application, it has a gray undertone that doesn't oxidize away until about an hour has passed, and that it is a little bit light for me- has a slight satin finish (some ppl might consider this a pro, but my skin is super oily and makes evenmatte foundation look glowy after a few hours); however, the finish is easily mattified (see 1st "pro" bullet point for details)- the shade is slightly light (but that's expected, since Asian foundation shade ranges are very light)- not full coverage (all expected this though, since it's a BB and not full on foundation)Overall, I would definitely recommend trying this out! I just wish they made this in more shades because once I tan I won't be able to use this without looking like my face is white compared to the rest of me :(. But besides that, it makes the skin look really nice and lasts long so it was worth it!

I really like this cushion for fact that it is designed to help with acne! My face is very acne-prone, and there are areas that I know that will have acne soon or acne that is very apparent. Whenever the breakouts happen or wherever I need to apply this cushion, I apply it so that those areas won't get irritated with other makeup products I use. I find the smell to be strong at first, but doesn't smell overwhelming or anything, it's pretty pleasant throughout the rest of my day when I wear it. When you apply it on it feels very refreshing and cool, which I really like. Like many reviewers have stated, it is slightly medium-to-light coverage, but it has been proven useful for me after using it for two months that my acne has dwindled a fair amount after using it consistently! If I end up using this for my whole face with little-to-no other products, it leaves my skin feeling nice and breathable, which is a plus!
