Magic Cushion Foundation No.21 Light Beige for Bright Skin - Flawless Coverage, Dewy Finish, Easy Application for All Skin Types

Decided to try this as I was on the hunt for something for *no makeup makeup* days and I was bolstered by the all the reviews that said they got *my skin, only better*. As soon as I got it I tried it with the sponge it comes with but found it to be a heavier coverage than what I was looking for. The next time I used a large foundation brush and stippled it into my skin. I did half my face with one tiny tap into the compact. It was beautiful. Although it looked way too dark for my skin tone while in the compact, it was a perfect match once applied. There was no caking or separating----it just looked like smooth, even, radiant skin. One tiny tap for each side of my face provided lovely light/medium coverage. Because such a very little goes a very long way I'm going to try one tiny tap for my entire face for the *no makeup makeup* days. If you're on the fence, please just try it. And you can't go wrong at that price!

I’m absolutely delighted with this Korean cushion foundation after the very first use. It leaves my skin looking smooth and perfected, but still very natural — no heavy or cakey feeling at all. The shade is light and works perfectly for fair skin. What really impressed me is how well it lasted all day, even while wearing a hat and scarf in Chicago’s cold weather. I only needed to apply a bit of setting spray and it stayed in place beautifully. One important tip: make sure to apply it with gentle tapping motions instead of rubbing the cushion on your skin — that makes a big difference in the finish. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a fresh, lightweight, and long-lasting cushion foundation.

This stuff is kind of magical. A small amount can go a long way and it is buildable. I LOVE how convenient and non-messy the whole thing is: the package, applicator, makeup well/sponge system. It's much better than having to carry around a bottle and separate sponge that you need to keep clean and dry. I have a mix of dry and oily skin and this works pretty well with both. While there is some separation from the oil after several hours, you can usually fix it with a touch-up, but it also just doesn't look THAT bad when it separates. I live in a very hot environment and, again, it holds up pretty well in that. HOWEVER, I have very pale neutral coloring and the lightest shade of this (21) is too dark and yellow. So I looked into other MISSHA products and found their Perfect Cover Cream in the color 13 but the cream does not cover as well as the cushion foundation. So I mix the cream in with the cushion, and I can get a pretty close match. It also somehow maintains the coverage and buildability of the original cushion foundation. If you need to build up more, it might not last you a long time. I build it up, but because I mix in the other foundation, it lasts me quite a while. You'll really just have to try it out yourself to see how quickly you'll go through it. But definitely try just a small amount first and tap/press it onto the skin to see how much you actually need. Some people use a lot more than necessary because they are used to using so much more. If you do that, you will go through this stuff quickly.

Wow! I did NOT expect this level of excellence. The compact foundation is amazing. It is light, but the coverage is magical. I'm older and battle with pigmentation issue & this foundation makes spots vanish! It also doesn't creep into nooks & crannies. I'm 70 and my complexion looks like glass (ok, my eye area is my eye area... but still pretty good!) This is revolutionary makeup. The only thing I'd change up next time is the shade. But the 21 I tried is do-able for a fair complex with full makeup. This product makes my year..

I got both the cushion in no.21 and the perfect cover bb cream no.23. Because i wasnt sure what shade to get. The cushion is significantly brighter and appears true to shade whereas the bb cream is more dull and grey which isnt terrible but it is confusing. Both appear to be a natural finish rather than a dewy finish. Coverage is both medium. However, I think their better when layered. Since the bb cream is greyish and deeper if you layer the lighter ontop and strategically it makes the bb cream looks like a lighter contour without using too much product. There is a light perfume.

Quick Summary: The product goes on beautiful at first but about 4 hours in I was creasing and cakey. In depth review: Due to the pandemic and me working from home for the past year I decided to look for a cheaper alternative to my usual Estee Lauder foundation (Winter shade: 1W2 Sand, Summer Shade: 2W2 Rattan). I barely go out now and I used less than half my foundation over a period of 12 months. I have combination skin with my t-zone being oily and the areas around my nose being dry. Pros: - Buildable coverage. With one layer I was able to cover my redness and make my freckles more subtle. With 2 layers my freckles were covered the way I like them with it barely peeking from under. - Little bit of product goes a long way. Refer to my picture - that amount was able to cover half my face with a good coverage. Honestly it was like magic because I kept applying it and more just kept coming. - Looks amazing when first applied. My skin was beautiful (not under flash) when this was first applied on. It is dewy and looks just like skin. - Moisturizing. I used primer, powder foundation, and setting spray. Even after this my skin felt very moisturized compared to other foundations I have used, even Estee Lauder. - Has Sunscreen. As you can tell from my scary flash photo, this product has sunscreen which is why the skin is scary white. - Cute, compact, study cover. I only used this product twice but the cover for the cushion was cute and felt sturdy to me. It was smaller than the Etude House cushion makeup I also got. Cons: - Pink undertone (could be a pro for you). It was noticeable to me when I was passing by my reflection. With bronzer, contour, blush, and powder foundation (bare minerals Light 08 and yellow undertone and more suited for my skin for summer) it was less noticeable but I did not want to deal with having to make my foundation match my skin. - 4 hour mark is when my skin became noticeably cakey and creasing starting. Before the 4 hour mark my skin was very beautiful and natural looking. Once the 4 hour mark came and I checked my skin, it started to crease and get oily. By the 8 hour mark which was the end of my day I felt like my skin looked messy. Even with blotting to see if it would help, my skin still looked cakey. I did get oily with my Estee Lauder foundation however when I used tissue paper to blot my skin it would just take away the shine and my skin did not look cakey and creased like this one. However that is a +$40 foundation. - Transfers easily. About 2.5-3 hours in my skin started to get oily and because of this it transferred easily. Take what you need from this review. There are more pros than cons. I decided to return it and ultimately went with Etude House Double Lasting Cushion Glow shade 23N1 Sand because it looked better at the end of the day and was my exact shade. I was okay with paying $10 more for it.

I LOVE this foundation!! I've tried and used SO many brands, inexpensive and expensive...and this is by far my favorite!! Great, buildable coverage! Goes on smooth and dewey! Honestly, this will be my foundation from now on!

I absolutely love this brand. I have the BB cream and their foundation as well as their glow primer. I suffered from rosacea plus sensitive skin. I’m in my 40s and it doesn’t settle into any thing on my face to make me look older. It always gives the best finish. Also, I got the same shade in this cushion as I used for my other foundations or BB creams but this one seems to not have as much of a cool tone to it which I like because the other one when I first apply. It seems to be slightly gray. Buy this compact.
