MAKE OVER Powerstay Demi-Matte Cover Cushion, 15 g, IDR 218.000

A medium to full coverage cushion foundation, initially released in 10 shades but later available up to 20 shades, enriched with anti-pollution and UV filter SPF 50/PA++++ to protect skin and also formulated with moisturizer, oil control, and soft focus agent to mimic natural skin appearance. It offers long-lasting result up to 12 hours, minimal transferring, with a semi-matte finish.

PACKAGING

The cushion foundation comes in a sleek black packaging with detachable cushion container; the cushion is refillable and it is also equipped with (refillable) cushion puff applicator. There is a mirror attached in the lid. The case doesn't feel heavy nor sturdy and imo it looks quite decent eventho it's not my cup of tea.

TEXTURE & FORMULA

The shade N30 Natural Beige looks promising and natural for medium skin tone but after applied into the skin the finish tends to reflect greyish cast. The texture is quite thick when dipped into your finger but when applied using designated puff applicator its blends seamlessly and feels light-weight. 

FYI, I have a dry-combination skin type. The moisturizing formula gives a semi-dewy effect and creates healthy, glowy look. It might piled up and creasing a bit especially within fine lines but still acceptable for me. Under AC environment the finishing result tends to stay well but I can see certain oily spots especially in the T-zone. The product stays well even after I blotted it with paper-oil, you can retouch by layering up the product but I prefer to cover it with powder to reduce excess oil.

The product covers minimal blemishes and able to create medium to heavy coverage look.

My Verdict?

Good coverage. This cushion foundation delivers an adequate amount of coverage to cover small blemishes even in a single swatch but the final result is too ashy imo. The chosen shade N30 (Natural Beige) is a medium, neutral tone beige however it reflects greyish cast especially under direct natural light. It often happens in an infused SPF formula product so I tried to minimize the greyish cast by topping it with loose powder🎶.

Overall, Make Over cushion foundation is a good choice for its wide shade ranges and formula wise but the downside is only its greyish cast. The staying power and coverage is great but I prefer Rollover Reaction cushion foundation for its true-to-skin shade & natural looking finish❤️📝. I don't think I will repurchase it again since it casts greyish color and tbh I don't like its packaging, but hey it just my two cents! Overall this product is a great makeup player you should try.
