The finish on this cushion is really nice. It's very natural and has a subtle luminosity to the finish. In cold weather, it will stay on for most of the day, but you may need to touch up, especially if you sweat if off. I found that I finished this much sooner than my Laneige cushion, which is unusual considering that the amount contained in each is the same. What really annoyed me was that they don't give out a spare sponge for the compact. As you'll see from my picture, the white sponge gets dirty very quickly and is hard to wash. I essentially had to throw it out and buy a new sponge that got dirty just as quickly. Would I repurchase? Not sure at this point as there are lots of others to try, I'll have to wait and see...
