Everything looks bad in my bathroom, so all I knew was that my application was even. I applied some brown powder and brighter white powder to account for foundation’s natural tendency to flatten out skin tone, then a cheek tint. But now I’m 29. And I work in an old building with really bad regulation of temperature and humidity/dryness and god-knows-what in the HVAC system. So I’ve developed dry skin with some red patches (haven’t solved it yet—I’ve tried lots of moisturizers and I’m still looking for the one). Otherwise, I’m very pale and yellow in tone. At worst, I look sallow and gray-green. I got a cheap luminizing primer by ELF to pair with this while I wait for “nicer” stuff in the mail. I don’t have any concealer to wear underneath the foundation right now.Consumers the world over suddenly saw beautiful South Korean celebrities regularly and sought to duplicate their smooth, flawless-looking skin. Korean skin and beauty products, known as K-beauty, follow a tradition of using exclusive and natural ingredients like turmeric, ginseng and ground mung beans. I got out to my car to drive to work, and I was very surprised to see my face in the rear view mirror. It looked good! Like I said, I did not have concealer underneath—but the circles around my eyes were very improved, almost gone. Don’t be surprised to see some strange-sounding ingredients listed in your Korean makeup. Some of the skincare products have things like snail cream, salmon cream and pig collagen in them. If those sound off-putting, compare them to some of the things commonly used in American cosmetics: carmine (crushed beetles), placenta proteins and snail secretions (KNU). It is actually remarkable what is in cosmetics, no matter where they were made. Dry skin types would love its moisturizing formula! It doesn’t cling onto dry patches, even with minimal prepping steps. I can simply use a lightweight toner under it, and it looks perfect.

I first use a toner or serum to reduce my skin’s redness and then proceed with the cushion. I need a separate concealer for the under eyes and other blemishes. Texture: I love this cushion foundation! First, unlike most other cushions, it doesn’t come in liquid form but has a hard creamy consistency. When you rub the puff onto the surface, it starts to melt and become softer.Finish: Effortlessly glides onto your skin, delivering a dewy, natural-looking finish that enhances your complexion without feeling heavy. The texture is incredibly smooth, allowing for easy blending and seamless application.
