This month Innisfree brought out a new cushion, both cushion is upgraded from the original cushions and even added features that is few downside of cushion. Let's see how they turned out to be. :)
We'll see each of Water Glow Cushion's Pros and Cons
Also Long Wear Cushion's Pros and Cons
This will give you an idea which cushion you should get and WHY you should get them.
Since summer is coming I start to feel my dry skin turning into oily skin.
My skin tends to change depending on the weather fully. So I need to collect all the skin care products for both oily and dry skin. :"( if my wallet allows.
Anyways, during summer even dry skin might occasionally get greasy feeling.
I also hate how the hot sun will melt the makeup, making the makeup last shorter and lowers the coverage that I finished when I walked out of my house.
Also because we get sweaty we need something LIGHT, Moist, and clean.
I think I found the just the right products for your summer cushion.
If I give you a overall features these product have before I start going into the details.
I found Long Wear Cushion quiet interesting. It turned out that this cushion has a very powdery smooth finish. I mean really? in a cushion? Cushion tends to be moist and I know those who hate cushion is mostly because of that greasy feeling afterwards that happens when moist and oily skin mixes and make this greasy dirty look. However Long Wear Cushion had no such dewy moist look that I didn't feel that greasy feeling.
You might think, powdery? it must be very drying.
Actually I have to say you are wrong about this product. If you do the skin care product very moisturizing you would not feel drying with this long wear cushion.
The powder not only gives a clean look and long lasting and even prevents darkening but it also hold oil giving the cushion a serum control features which oily skin would love. It kind of feels like after you do foundation and add powder afterwards but you do that with one product.
Water Glow Cushion is like any other moist cushion.
Has that same dewy look and moisturizing is great too.
Instead of water they used green tea extract to increase the moist which help the makeup from falling and melting down so it's great to those who have dry skin.
They both comes with a large mirrors and a blue cushion pump
Water Glow Cushion / Long Wear Cushion
Just by looking at the cushion we can see that water glow cushion has more moist.
I prefer dewy look and moisturizing product but as summer slowly bring in those oils from T zone and U zone I prefer the Long Wear Cushion more. If it's not the oils the heat brings in sweat making the makeup move around, which made me use Long Wear Cushion for the summer more.
I think Water Glow cushion is more for EXTREME Dry Skin.
Which means even dry skin if you did the skin care moisturizing enough you can still use Long Wear Cushion if you feel you'll like Long Wear Cushion more.
I tend to use primer on the t zone and serum control powder afterwards, but I felt I don't need to have so many steps caring for oily parts of my skin while I use Long Wear Cushion, the cushion itself control my oils quiet well, we'll see how it does later in the summer but for now, I get to skip heavy makeup! YEAH!
Long Wear Cushion / Water Glow Cushion
They are both 21 but you can see that Long Wear cushion is bit more yellowish and more darker, the reason is because Long Wear Cushion has bit more powder inside which gives the cushion color a bit more darker look. So for Long Wear Cushion if you tend to use 21 I suggest get the 13 because it might turn out bit dark for you.
Water Glow Cushion(Top) / Long Wear Cushion(Bottom)
Actually you can see the powder just by tapping some cushion out.
You can see that Water Glow Cushion has bit more creamy texture while the Long Wear Cushion has powdery texture.
OVERALL OPINION
Long Wear Cushion
Long Wear Cushion as a semi light matte texture with a smooth soft powdery finish. I love that there is no oil which is important for all oily skin.
After using for a while I find this cushion cover up in the order of Blemishes the best, than pores and than the black heads. It has a moist feeling inside and soft powder feeling afterwards. As time goes by I felt no darkening but when the cushion dried out it did stuck between deeper wrinkles but you can easily tap it with your fingers no need to do full makeup fix. Even if the cushion dried out I felt no falling or crumbling of makeup. Also I felt no need to fix my makeup even till late night, it's a very long lasting and a perfect cushion for everyone
*Well except severely dry skin*
Water Glow Cushion
Water Glow Cushion had a nice dewy finish very common finish for a cushion and something different than Long Wear Cushion. Water Glow Cushion had bit more oil than Long Wear Cushion but I don't necessary think you should say it has oil because its more lighter than most foundation. I think this product is great for dry skin who feels dry even in the middle of the summer.
Water Glow Cushion had better scores for covering the pores and bit weaker on blemishes than Long Wear Cushion.
I hope I helped out what to choose between the two
And those who never though of buying I hope I showed you another product to think about! :P

Which is your favourite cushion compact amongst the many that you have tried?
ReplyDeleteOh that's a very hard question, each has it's good thing and bad,
DeleteFor this summer I will say I will go with Ice foundation that Mule for moistand Innisfree Long wear for a more semi-matte texture, but since ice foundation is discontinued, I need something else for cooling and moist,
For coverage and moist I'm looking at DDell foundation and need to compare it with the innisfree mineral glow
Thank you for the review and the information! Looks like my wall will be empty again this month.. ;-( But :>)
ReplyDeleteLOL, I know it's a such a good product that it's hard not to get one.
DeleteI'm glad you liked my review~
I really want have this cushion !!
ReplyDeleteIt's really a great cushion to have for the summer! :)
DeleteYay! Thank you for reviewing this. Since I was looking for a new powder, I thought I'd give this a try after reading your review. Also, it is Innisfree..my favourite. Hehe! Will definitely get this. Thanks for the review!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad my review was useful! XD
DeleteInnisfree is becoming my favorite too, last year it was etude house, I guess girls heart change ever so often~
Do try! Are you going to get the water glow or long wear?
I think long wear would be most suitable for my skin. Plus, it's so hot in Singapore.. I feel long wear would work well in this weather.
DeleteEtude House packaging is so cute! ^^ But Innisfree seems to suit my skin the best ;) (oops..am I being too biased XD)
Have you tried the laniege pore control cushion? If so how would you compare that with the innisfree long wear cushion? THanks
ReplyDeletehi there, your review is very useful.. thank you for it :)
ReplyDeletedo you have the ingredient list?
Or would you know if the Long Wear cushion is Paraben Free, MineralOil Free, Non-clogging?
There is no Paraben, there is MineralSalt but no oil, and I find it is not so clogging on the pores. but it's best to wash with deep cleansing if that works with your skin type

I want to ask, is it possible to LWC refill use WGC case?
ReplyDeletedifferent containers and contents
Yes, it does :)
DeleteThanks for the useful review! I think I'm getting the long wear one, as my skin is really oily :)
ReplyDeleteThe long wear one is helpful to oily skin and stays on long! But for me it's dry winter here need something bit more moisturizing
DeleteEventhough I read this, I still can't decide. Probably will go with both xD I featured this product on my latest post about korean makeup tutorial, hope you kindly stop by.
ReplyDeletechalwoo
LOL, it's hard to decide the best unless you test it out.
DeleteSo I always suggest readers to read at least 3 review and if they can get samples to test before they decide. :) I'll go visit your post dear
Yup light and very natural, those are the trends these days. No one really do full coverage, because it takes time and hard to erase, which can cause acne or pimples etc.
ReplyDeleteAnyways Glad you loved it :-d
Hello! Thank you for the review! ^^
ReplyDeleteI'm currently looking for a BB cushion, I might get the long wear one but i'm very concerned. Does the product cause breakouts on your skin? I do not have really oily skin but rather sensitive skin and I'm afraid the product will break me out. :<
Ah, sensitive skin, that's the hardest because I don't know what your skin is reacts too... It didn't cause breaks outs for me, but you see, I don't have a sensitive skin. For sensitive skin I tend to suggest liquid foundation because it's less 'clinging' to the skin. If you can test it out on a shop that has samples, or buy a small samples on ebay. Or if you have a friend who has the product test it out little bit on the most sensitive part of your skin and see if it cause any irritation.
