7HARA Spotlight Cover Cushion #21 Peach Beige

I received this 7HARA Spotlight Cushion #21 Peach Beige from 08L Malaysia in exchange for an honest review, but all thoughts are my own, as always. It's available from Lazada at a discounted price of RM124.78.

When 08L offered to send me the 7HARA cushion to review, I was beyond estatic. I've been dealing with a bunch of breakouts on my cheeks recently and have been having a problem of not knowing how to hide them and the cushion could not have arrived at a more opportune time.

7HARA is a makeup and skincare brand from Korea. It produces makeup products that comibines convenience and enjoyance with a collection of products made with plant extracts. Some of the bestselling products include the tone up cushion, cover cushion, and their lipstick series. :)

Packaging

The Cover Cushion comes in two separate boxes. At first I thought the additional box was a refill, but I was quickly proven wrong. The silver box, shown on the left, contains the cushion case whereas the white box is what's carrying the actual 15g cushion. In order to use the product, I was to open the silver foil and fill that into the case (shown below).

One thing worth mentioning (that a lot of people miss) is that the mirror isn't blurry. As you can see in the picutre above, there is a protective layer over the mirror that's attached so perfectly that you wouldn't be able to tell it's there unless you scratch at a corner to take it off. Once off, you'll have a fully-functional mirror. ^^

The sponge for the 7HARA Cushion is also a little different from other formulations. It has a dual protection system with the ingredients kept nestled between the cushion so that it doesn't evaporate when unused. In addition, the moisture is locked inside the cushion and compressed within it, as illustrated by the diagram below:

7HARA has another cushion called the 7HARA Spolight Tone Up Cushion. The cover cushion covers, whereas the tone up cushion tones. ^^ It's pretty self-explanatory. To hide blemishes and scars, use the cover cushion. For brightening and a clearer complexion, use the tone up. The containers are compatible between the tone up and cover cushions, however. :)

In this review, I'll be talking about the 21 Peach Beige. 

Ingredients

The ingredient list is fairly long, but two things to note is that they're certified by the Korea Ministry of Food and Drug safety and passed the test of hypoallergenic cosmetics. In addition, in lieu with 7hara's mission to break the market perception of color makeup that's bad for th skin, 7hara products the makeup product that is made with natural and safe ingredients in addition to ingredients that are able to promote healthier skin.

The Cover Cushion continas extracts from 5 kinds of white flowers, Japenese apricot flower (anti-aging, whitening), cheery blossom (anti-again, soothing, exfoliating), white magnolia (anti-inflammatory), lotus flower (skin purifying, minimizing redness), & peach blossom (hydrating, whitening).

In general, I tend to not think about cushions as something that's good for my face cause it's makeup. It'll make my skin look good, yeah, but it's a given that in the long run, makeup is bad for my skin. I love that skincare and makeup brands are trying to counter that perception by putting good ingredients in makeup products. The 7HARA cushion is actually SPF50+ PA+++ as well, so if you forget your sunscreen, it's kind of okay? It would be good to apply your sunscreen before using the cushion nevertheless!

Directions & Texture

Instructions says to first moisturize your skin with skin care products but sto skin sun protection since this contains sun-protection properties, but I would suggest putting on sunscreen nevertheless. :) After skin care, gently press on the cushion sponge with an integral puff to release the liquid formula and apply onto the face along the texture of the skin. Careful not to drag the product and pat on the pad gently on your skin. :) 

This lauds as a sticky-free and smooth formula, which is pretty true. I didn't find the product hard to apply or being particularly sticky after application, so I was really happy with it. The scent is... like all other bb/cc creams I've tried. Smells slightly medicinal, but the scent goes away upon application so I was fine with it. :)

Performance

The cushion is supposed to brighten skin tone, provide coverage and create a luminous skin. It can cover blemishes and glides on skin without stickiness. It applies well, as I mentioned earlier, and leaves my skin feeling healthy and glowy without being suffocating.

I wasn't expecting #21 to be a perfect fit, since my skin tone seems to fall awkwardly between #21 and #23, depending on the brand, so I was pleasantly surprised when the color ended up not being too bad on my skin. It does leave my skin tone a tad too bright, but as long as I continue to apply cushion all the way down my neck, it shouldn't be too obvious. ^^

As you can see from the picture on the left, I'm suffering from a mild breakout that's just obvious enough to be annoying. After applying the cushion, my breakouts were a lot less glaring. It also made my skin more glowy~ The sheer coverage helps even out skin tone and makes me feel like a spotlight it focused on my skin. Lol. So glowy~

Ahhh. I was so pleased with the condition it left my skin in that I went on to apply eyeliner and a lipstick afterwards. XD

The only reason why it's not sitting on a perfect 10/10 is that the color still feels a tad too light for me and it never quite oxidizes enough for that to go unnoticed. In addition, the limited shades (shade?) of #21 Peach Beige means I can't try a shade above to see if that'll work better either. Even so, I'm glad to have this cushion in my makeup box. ^^
