[Description] per Hera's official site >NEW Layerless Matte. Super blendable Layerless formula.

[Price] I purchased my cushion and refill from luxiface.com for $45. If you leave a review, they'll send you a coupon for money off your next order. I thought the customer service was great, email updates about shipping in addition to tracked shipping, and I honestly couldn't find it for a better price for the turnaround time. It's a luxury brand, so the price is going to be much more expensive than your average cushion.

The logo is also their gold "H" symbol, rather than their brand name "HERA." It also contains a new, twice condensed cushion applicator puff that is thinner and meant to better adhere product to skin rather than absorb product and be the typical antibacterial puff material. [Texture] The formula is thin and smooth in apllication. I don't find it ever leaving imprints from the puff, but the edge of the puff can displace product and leave an arc of foundation, but that is easily blended into the skin. It's a a very seamless formula that is much more moisturizing than the original formula. [Scent] The fragrance still exists in this formula, like it does in many luxury brands, but it is very light and fresh and I actually think it enhances the experience. If you know fragrance is something your skin is sensitive to, I would tread very carefully as this cushion is pretty pricey. There is a mini size of one or two of the lightest shades that could work for some skin tones, so that would be a good option if you'd like to first test the formula. [Shade Range] I am 100% Korean born in Busan, but I'm more tan for a Korean, so I'm typically a 25 in Korean foundation. 25N1 is a really good shade for me in this Hera cushion, but from other reviews comparing this shade range to the old Black Cushion formula, the shades seem to be a touch lighter/brighter than the original shades. My shade 25 goes on bright then does calm down in tone, so I think it does slightly oxidize. Unfortunately, I do not know where you can find the deepest 27 shades to purchase. There are cool (pink) and neutral/warm(yellow) shades: 13N1 • 17C1 • 17N1 • 21C1 • 21N1 • 23C1 • 23N1 • 25N1 • 27C1 • 27N1 [Coverage] This is a medium to slightly buildable coverage foundation makeup. Given it's so thin, I do not soak the puff, I only take what I need, slightly pressing to get a controlled amount, so I can add where I need it. This is not at all a cakey product. This formula makes my skin look the most perfect I've ever seen, even on pores. The more I press with the puff, the more coverage it imparts and the more flawless it looks! It maintains its finish through naps, 90°F weather, and looks really nice with oils in skin. It reapplies over itself really nicely, but I find I don't really need to for how long I wear makeup, nor do I set with powder. I think you would get greater longevity with powder or primer, but I don't usually bother. *also, Picky always really stretches out my videos, so if I look strangely distorted, you're right. The app distorts the video ratio lol
