Mamonde Brightening Cover Watery Cushion SPF50+ PA+++

The spring cleaning bug has invaded. I have been furiously purging, scrubbing and organising. Me taking a break by reviewing my brand new Mamonde cushion is an attempt at staying sane throughout it all.


Name: Mamonde 마몽드 Brightening Cover Watery Cushion 브라이트닝 커버 워터리 쿠션 SPF50+ PA+++
Price: RM 90 for 15 g
Made in: Korea

This cushion delivers a cooling sensation during application, as if it is dousing my skin with moisture. The matte finish was a surprise; I thought that it'd be more luminous with a name like Brightening Cover Watery Cushion.


Well, to its credit, the coverage is rather considerable - it dials down the bits that I can't be bothered by (redness, discolouration and such). For things that really vex me, for example, chronic dark circles and severe hyperpigmentation, this alone won't cut it.


Now on to the part where I have to throw shade: the inclusive waterfit puff causes the cushion to pool in pores, cling to dry patches and look cakey. I can't even begin to describe how horrifying it was to see myself in the mirror!

After a couple of false starts, I had the sense to apply this cushion with my own sponge applicator. Guess what? All of these problems disappeared!


Discard the puff and use something else. It is more trouble than it's worth.


I featured shade No.21N Medium Beige in this post, but I am more of a No.23N Natural Beige. If you are looking for a cushion for the warmer months, then you could do a lot worse than this one. Find all five shades at all Mamonde beauty counters as well as 11street.my and lazada.com.my for RM 90.

I have heard people praising their waterfit puff but your verdict is always unbiased and reliable. That's really bad if you need to get new puff separately and the coverage is just so-so. Thanks for the review, it helps me to save some bucks, I was thinking to buy this for my friend. Going to remove this from my to-buy list hoho!

Happy Chinese New Year Bijin Blair!

Thank you, that is the best compliment ever! You just made my day!!

Actually, the coverage isn't poor at all; that said, it really depends on your skin's condition. Personally, I would moan more at the lack of a glow, because matte finishes can be rather flat.

I can't store my own sponge which is shaped like a beautyblender in the compact, so the whole shebang is a nightmare to transport but other than that, the cushion has treated me rather well.

Wishing you and your family a happy and prosperous Chinese New Year ❤
