I had a lot of expectations for this cushion. Usually when I try on cushion foundations, you can see the product on your face. But this one...it feels like I applied nothing on my face, yet, it evens out my face. It is very strange. I tried this cushion for a couple of months now and I always feel that way each time I put it on. I mean, it has a natural finish, but I cannot visibly see it on my face. When applied, it gives you a cooling effect, which is better for summer. I am not sure for the performance of this cushion, since it has a natural finish on my face. I would say perhaps a good 5 hours average is how long it lasts. This cushion has a velvet finish. With color 201, which is similar to the shade 21, it is important that you exfoliate your face to avoid the product to cling to dry parts or patches. It has a light, flowery-ish scent to it. It is an okay cushion to have when you don't want to over glam yourself.
