Product Review: Etude House Any Cushion Magic Mint

I've been etudized again recently (a term I coined years ago when the only makeup brand that would fit my budget is Etude House and the time when I was obsessed with it). I stopped purchasing from them for some time because I was not impressed with the quality. I guess my skin condition changed, my skin concerns changed, and my purchasing capacity changed. I tried other brands and was quite impressed that I thought I wouldn't go back. But over the holiday, if you watched my Korean Beauty Haul video, I just couldn't resist the buy 1 get 1 sale of Etude House. I was happy I made the visit and now I remember why I used to love this brand. It's all thanks to this Etude House Any Cushion Magic Mint.

If you have watched my Korean Beauty Haul I did mention there that this Etude House Any Cushion Magic Mint is not a BB Cream. You can categorize this more as a CC Cream or a makeup base. It doesn't help cover imperfections but it does help even out your skin tone and makes it smoother for when you apply BB cream or foundation after. I was impressed by how well it covered the redness of my face. Some spots are still quite visible but the overall effect on my face my quite impressive. I wouldn't wear this on its own though as it made me look ghastly white. I am already pale to begin with and this made me look even paler - like vampire pale. It really washed out the color on my face. Also, this is quite heavy and oily on the face. It only took a good 2 hours for my skin to start producing sebum. Other than those two reasons, I love how it diminished the appearance of redness and red spots on my face. 

Pros:

1. Easy to carry anywhere as it comes in compact form and with a sponge
2. Evens out redness and red spots
3. Nice light, powdery, floral scent
4. Easy to blend and apply

Cons:

1. Can make face really pale if worn alone
2. It can easily make your face oily
