Price
I purchased the Skinfood Royal Honey Cushion at Tester Korea for 16,100 won although it's now sold at a slightly higher price of 18,400 won, about $15.62 with the current exchange rate. It's also sold at Korea Depart for $17.68 and Jolse for $22.08.

How cute is the puff with Snoopy printed on it?

The packaging is typical of many Korean cushions with a nice mirror and puff included on the inside. The only difference is Snoopy, Charlie Brown and gang embossed on the rose gold colored cover.

The puff is slightly thinner than other cushions I currently own.

Swatch comparison with 2 other cushions.

As you can see from the picture on the left, I'm dealing with some major and stubborn PIH (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation) on the lower half of my face. You can get a medium coverage with the Skinfood Royal Honey Cushion and build it up to a certain point. 2-3 layers is sufficient but any more than that starts to look slightly cakey. The redness and marks on my face are still peaking through but the average person won't have this problem.

The scent is a bit stronger than I'd like and lingers around for a bit, about 5 minutes or so after application. It reminds me of the See by Chloe Parfum which I happen to like and own. Both the perfume and cushion scent have a fruity, floral scent.

This really does leave your skin looking luminous with a semi-matte finish. Once the product sets after a minute or two, it won't really transfer or move around. The wear time is fairly long lasting at 6-7 hours or so. I do apply powder over parts of my face where I tend to get oily which helps with the longevity.

I'm not sure how the cushion will work for me in the summer since my skin gets extremely oily. Currently my skin fluctuates between combination and oily depending on how cold the weather is. My t-zone is quite oily and my cheeks are slightly less oily in the winter time. I'm almost positive this will not work well for those with dry skin. If you have any dry patches, the cushion will cling to and emphasize those areas. I had a few areas with active acne while testing this that were dry because of spot treatments like benzoyl peroxide and the product did not look good over those bumps.

I'm on the fence about this Skinfood Royal Honey Cover Bounce Cushion. The things I like about it are the price, the finish and wear time, packaging, and the SPF 50. What I don't like is how strong the scent is, the coverage (partly because the name of the product is misleading with cover included in the name. I was expecting better coverage), and how it emphasizes the large pores around my nose. I'll continue using this cushion but I won't repurchase it. I still have six unopened cushions that I want and need to test out so hopefully I'll find something that really works for my skin.
