AGE 20's Signature Intense Cover 71% Essence Cushion Foundation, Sunscreen Makeup SPF 50+, Refill #23 Medium Beige (13.9 g x 2ea)

Product Information

I stopped wearing foundation when I was 19 because I didn’t want to spend my youth covering up my skin. Isn’t youthful skin supposed to be so special? So I put on sunscreen and cheerfully let myself forget how to apply foundation. Coverage: Provides a fresh, plump, and dewy appearance. However, the coverage is sheer to medium-ish, so if you have skin concerns like dark undereye circles and active acne, it won’t cover them.

Lasting Power: Since the formula is moisturizing, well, you guessed it – It is not that long-lasting. After a couple of hours, it gradually fades, requiring touch-ups or a setting powder. I use the powder right after application to take care of the extra shine. My first attempt with this cushion was streaky. I saw one reviewer who said that they will use a foundation brush from now on to avoid streakiness. I didn’t want to. In fact, I decided to try cushion foundation specifically to avoid face brushes. Skincare ingredients include Niacinamide (brightening, anti-acne, pore care), Ascorbyl Glucoside (a stable form of Vitamin C with antioxidant protection), Palmitoyl Oligopeptide and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (antiaging), a lot of fermented ingredients (barrier support and soothing). The formula has organic and inorganic UV filters: Titanium Dioxide, Octinoxate, Octocrylene, and Zinc Oxide.

From The Manufacturer

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.

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. 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.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. When South Korean pop culture started spreading across the globe, people referred to it as “The Korean Wave” or “Hallyu.” This fascination soon transferred over to cosmetics, which has led the South Korean beauty market to become one of the top 10 in the world. 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.
