All these western brands jumping on the cushion foundation bandwagon! I do not have all, naturally, but I will feature some of the more prominent brands. I will also tell you that the cushion foundations of the next few days will be from the Western brands, because that’s what I have on hand and that’s the interesting part for me. What I’ll be doing over the next 4 days, starting today, will be to tell you what I think of the cushion foundation from a particular brand, and suspending all other regular programmes. This has been the new wave of foundations to hit our counters, popularised by Korean brands and formulations, so I wanted to keep it all in one place. Although the color looked slightly orange in the compact, it applied more neutral and lighter so try to swatch it against your skin before you purchase.īottom line, IOPE Air Cushion XP Foundation totally lived up to its hype and I am definitely a fan! I loved the innovative application, great coverage and dewy, skin-like finish.Welcome friends, to Cushion Foundation Week on My Women Stuff! The C Series is available in 2 shades (Cover 21 Cover Vanilla and Cover 23 Cover Beige) and offers higher coverage for flawless skin.įor my NC30 skin, I use the darkest shade, C23 Cover Beige. The S Series is available in 1 shade (Shimmer 22 Ice Shimmer Beige) and contains coral powder for a beautiful glow. The N Series is available in 3 shades (Natural N21 Ice Vanilla, Natural N23 Ice Beige and Natural N31 Warm Beige) for natural, healthy and moisturized skin. The various formulas and colorings, though a nice thought, were also limited and ran on the lighter side: Like most Korean skincare and makeup products, the Air Cushion XP Foundation came with a pretty strong scent, which could be a turn off for some. My only complaints? The scent and color range. The foundation managed to stay on my dehydrated combo skin with zero fading or oxidization for 10 hours straight and I hardly had to touch up at all. I do have to add concealer if I wanted my flaws wiped out completely but for every day, this was MORE than perfect! One single dab managed to cover up half of my dark circles and freckles, smooth out pores and make my skin look healthy and dewy. Yet, the coverage was surprisingly good and buildable. The foundation also applied with a slightly cooling sensation and felt very thin. To apply, you press a super non-porous puff applicator that came with the foundation into the cushion then pat directly onto skin.Īpplication was super easy and nothing like anything I have ever seen before! It took me less than a minute to get my whole face done and the puff applicator worked so perfectly in getting the product on evenly, leaving behind a streakless, no-makeup finish. But what REALLY set it apart from anything else, was the piece of sponge (or “cushion”) stored in the lower compartment that was soaked in a super runny foundation. On the outside, the Air Cushion Foundation looked just like your ordinary cream and powder compact foundations.
