Doing my makeup has always been a part of my daily life and it usually takes me for about an hour or 2 to get ready. That includes what foundation, concealer, lipstick, mascara, blush etc. I am going to use. "LOL" I always take my time doing my makeup to avoid any mistakes and re-doing them because we girls know that it can be pretty annoying and such. To do my makeup quick and easy, I always use my cushions to avoid applying concealer and foundation and blending them with a damp sponge. My cushion has saved me a lot of times and I am really thankful that I always have them on my drawers.
We are going to talk about W.Lab W-Snow CC Cushion and I've been using it for a few months now. I guess I can already share my full thoughts about it so without further ado, let's head over to my review. *winks*

All details found on the packaging of the cushion are written in Korean language so I don't think I'll be able to translate that. Since this cushion has only two shades, I got mine in Snow Light which is the lightest shade. I was having conflict with my thoughts whether to get the shade Snow Beige but in the end, my inner instinct told me to get the light shade.
The cushion is placed in a white packaging which I find very neat and nice to look at. However, I may have to be careful on handling my cushion since there is a high chance that dirt will be visible from the packaging. I think it would look nice and elegant if it comes in black.
And just like any other cushions, it comes with a free puff and mirror. Once you open the compact and turn over the lid, it is sealed with a sticker (which is not included on the pic since I removed it a few months ago) so you'll know that the product is new and to prevent the cushion to dry.
"W.Lab Snow Cushion IN ACTION"
Before using the cushion, I did my brows and applied a bit of lip tint on my lips. As you can see on my before pic, redness can be seen on the sides of my nose, mini pimples on my forehead which are about to dry, dark acne scars on my chin and just a little bit of dark under eye circles. My only problem is the dark acne scars on my chin which can be easily seen by other people.
To apply the cushion, I use the puff and lightly press it onto the foundation. Remember not to press the foundation too hard or it will cause spillage from the puff. "Just like mine. Hehe" I then spread the cushion onto my skin and dab it gently to blend and spread the foundation. Wait for it to set for a few minutes and it will give you that dewy and glowing finish. I felt a cooling sensation when I applied it on my skin.
The redness on my nose and dark under eye circles were covered by the cushion. You can't really tell whether it covered my dark under eye circles due to the shadow on my face but, it really did a great job on brightening them. However, I noticed that some of the cushion settled on the linings of my under eye so make sure to blend it well. The mini pimples on my forehead were covered too but the dark scars on my chin were only faded. I did try adding another layer from the cushion but it was still the same. If you want to cover them fully, use a concealer to hide those scars.
To prevent my skin from being oily, I set it with my Coty Airspun loose powder leaving my skin flawless and radiant. This made my skin smoother and I did not expect that my mom would compliment me after showing it to her. "Bwahaha Love you Mom!"
For our final test, we're going to see how long it will stay on my skin. I applied the cushion around 1:30 PM and went to my nephews' school. Take note that the weather is sunny so I expected that it will dissolve my makeup. Patchiness tends to appear below and top of my nose but there were no sign of them around. "Hooray!"
After going to the school, we went straight to the mall and saw that my makeup is still intact. I am now waiting for the oil to show up on my nose so I always grab my mirror to check on them and from around 5:00 PM, oil began to appear on my nose. Not quite the oil that I imagined to see but it looks like I applied a bit of highlighter on top of my nose.
At 6:00 PM, my skin began to look dewy and I love how it made my skin look more fresh and natural. I didn't re-touch my face with any powder and upon reaching home at 8:40 PM; my t-zone area looks oily. Wearing the cushion for almost 8 hours doesn't seem bad and take note that I did not re-touch them the whole day. *winks*
In case you want to re-touch your makeup, use an oil control sheet or tissue to pat away excess oil from your skin and do the rest of your makeup. Since my t-zone area appears to be oilier than the rest of my skin, I only use an oil blotting sheet and apply face powder.
Final thoughts, it made my makeup routine became easier and quicker. This cushion is good for any skin types giving your skin that luminous and youthful glow. It is very light on the skin and as time passes by, it will look more natural. It is buildable and has a great coverage but hiding darker imperfections won't work so you might have to add additional layers or use a concealer to cover them fully. It can last for a whole day if you apply a setting powder and there will only be light touch up needed throughout the day. It's a big nightmare to see your foundation to become patchy but this one didn't leave any signs of them. "Makeup enthusiast, like me, feels it too! Lol" It makes me want to get another spare just in case this cushion will run out soon.
