REVIEW: CLIO - Kill Cover Liquid Founwear Ampoule Cushion

Hello everyone!

I read good things about the Kill Cover Liquid Founwear Ampoule Cushion from Clio so I purchased it some weeks ago. It is said that it's the perfect combination of cushion and liquid foundation. It is getting colder in Germany and the air gets dry (at least at the office) so I thought this might be a good and hydrating cushion for my skin.

Product details:

Clio offers three different shades:

- 2-BP Lingerie (no. 21, rose beige)

- 3-BY Linen (no. 21, yellow-based natural beige to neutralize redness)

- 4-BO Ginger (no. 23, medium beige)

What it claims:

- long-lasting hydration and coverage

- covers blemishes

- whitening

- anti-wrinkle

- UV protection (SPF 50+ PA+++)

- glowing radiance

Weight: 15g x 2

Ingredients:

Unfortunately I can't find an ingredients list in English.

Packaging:

Clio cushions usually come in a set. A set contains:

- cushion case including the cushion and a puff

- one refill (including a puff)

The cushion case is classy and simple.

My opinion:

I got this cushion in shade no. BY-3 Linen. I decided to buy it to hydrate my skin (it is autumn and the air can get really dry at work) and to cover my redness and blemishes.

I like the classy packaging and the thick band of the puff (usually the band is quite thin).

The texture is lightweight and very creamy (probably because of the 52% moisturizing ingredients). The colour matches my skin tone really well.

I was excited to try it out and had high expectations but to be honest I am disappointed. This product does what it claims but it is too moisturizing and dewy for my liking. It is very cakey and doesn't look nice on my skin. I even used powder but it just makes it worse. Also touching the face isn't a good idea because the fingerprint is clearly visible.

About the coverage I can say that it is high but I have to use a concealer beforehand when I want to cover my scars. So in my opinion the coverage is between medium-full. It isn't buildable so it doesn't matter how many layers you apply because the result is the same.

I should also mention that this cushion made me break out. I used it for 2 days and then I had pimples on my cheeks and chin.

Maybe this cushion works better on very dry skin but I don't recommend it to people who have combination/oily skin types.

Where to get:

I purchased this product from an eBay seller called F2plus1 (Korean seller + legit) for $25 (including shipping).

It is also available on www.clubclio-en.com for $38

My opinion is my own and to 100% honest.
