One of the biggest drawbacks of this BB Cream is that it only comes in one shade. So if you are a POC or anything darker than pale, it will require some tweaking or just plain avoidance. I haven't tried it, but I would imagine you could mix foundation drops with it and get a shade that would work for you.

As cute as the cushion version is, I don't like it. The color is too dark for me (still going to be too pale for POC), it doesn't have the same finish as the tube version, plus it wears differently (more drying and breaks apart on me).

This BB Cream is one of the few that doesn't break apart on my face. I have tried numerous foundations and BB Creams (liquid, powder, cushion) and all with the same result. They start separating in my t-zone. Do not know why. I have tried setting with powder, primer vs no primer, brush vs beauty blender, and finally just gave up. However, this one doesn't do that. It doesn't have extreme staying power like Estee Lauder Double Wear is supposed to (also separated on my face), but it stays on me pretty well. It doesn't irritate my skin by drying it out like others do, unless I wear it daily; I have accepted that my skin is weird and finicky. This has a lovely satin finish. It isn't shiny looking, but more dewy looking without feeling/looking like an oil slick. It will not cover major imperfections, but it can even out minor issues like mild redness. It will settle into fine lines, so I highly recommend carrying a cushion puff with you so you can blend out those areas.
