Cicamanu Serum Cushion
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Parnell Cicamanu Serum Cushion delivers a radiant, glass-skin finish with medium coverage that color-corrects redness, and feels soothing and hydrating on dry, sensitive skin. However, it does not set down, so it transfers easily and has poor longevity unless set with powder. Professional makeup artist CYoung found it cakey on certain areas and advised saving money, while others praise its dewy, skin-like texture.
