"The Parnell serum cushion is actually pretty heavy when you tap it on, and combined with the puff it feels dry instantly. I don't recommend it for dry mature skin, this is for nobody, and for oily combo skin it doesn't give you that coverage either, it's a struggle to blend. Parnell did a good job making so many shades and the cushion itself is lightweight, but I don't think it's a good cushion."

"I think I absolutely love this Parnell brand. This cushion makes similar claims to their serum and toner, it's got seaweed extract and manuka honey in it, soothing and hydrating the skin while offering a buildable radiant finish. I absolutely love the texture of this, it's that higher coverage but thin formula that I feel like K beauty cushions do so well, not super high coverage, good coverage, kind of more medium buildable. I'm so excited to find this cushion because this brand has a big shade range, which is so important to me. This one feels like it's more for dry skin types, more for sensitive skin types, you might not like this finish if you have oily skin. I wore it a full day already and it wore so well, it didn't sink into lines and it didn't start to look cakey or drying."
