Okay so I’ve been seeing this HERA Black Cushion Mesh Powder EVERYWHERE at Olive Young lately and finally caved. It’s basically a setting powder in cushion format which sounds so extra but also… kinda genius? Let me tell you what I found out after digging through all the reviews π
[NEW/~15%] HERA Black Cushion Mesh Powder (5 Shades)
β¨ Best for: Oily skin, touch-ups, makeup longevity
β± Longevity: All-day shine control
π Repurchase rate: High
Why Koreans Love This
This isn’t your typical loose powder situation. HERA literally put setting powder into a cushion compact with this mesh layer that picks up the perfect amount every time.
Korean office workers are OBSESSED because you can just tap this on throughout the day without that cakey powder build-up. Plus it comes in 5 shades so it’s not just translucent white powder that leaves flashback π
The mesh technology is the key here – it disperses the powder super evenly so you get that airbrushed finish instead of looking dusty. And honestly? It’s so much cleaner than traditional powder compacts in your bag.
What Real Buyers Are Saying
“I have super oily skin and this keeps my makeup intact all day without looking dry. The mesh puff picks up just the right amount – no powder explosions in my bag anymore!” β verified buyer
“Perfect for touch-ups at work. Doesn’t disturb my base makeup and actually blurs my pores more. The shade range is great too – I got 21 Natural and it matches my skin perfectly.” β verified buyer
The reviews are pretty consistent about the oil control being next level. People with dry skin do mention needing to prep well with moisturizer first though!

π Mina’s Ingredient Note
I actually looked into the mesh technology here – it’s basically a physical barrier that controls powder dispersion, which honestly makes more sense than dumping loose powder everywhere. The formula itself uses silica and similar mattifying agents that absorb sebum throughout the day, so it’s not just sitting on top of your skin. Worth checking if you’re sensitive to silicones though, since that’s what gives it the smooth application but can feel heavy if your skin doesn’t like them.
