[@ladymacbethofmtsensk]

They usually contain 15ml each and most brands come with a refill; a standard bottle of liquid foundation is 30ml. So really, depending on the brand, it’s pretty much the same, plus you get a mirror (great for touchups- a godsend for me because I usually wear makeup, have slightly oily skin, and am frequently in a laboratory where I have to wear goggles so the foundation rubs off my nose) and the brands that sell the refill on its own make it cheaper and more sustainable to keep refilling the old packaging if you like the product and use it long-term.

Same! I do my makeup during my commute on the train and cushions are the best for this. I also adore their light coverage. Their shaderange overall is not the best, but for pale people like me it's quite good as I struggle to find the correct brightness and undertone among western foundations and I just happen to find my perfect match in one of these cushions. I also adore the eyeshadows. Airy light and subtle, which makes them perfect for work. They are also super beginner friendly, so noobs like me can basically not fail. These are literally the only eyeshadow palettes I will pan and probably even repurchase. I agree that you will be able to find the same shades across multiple brands, but let's be real: western brands don't differ that much from another either in their colorstory. They all at some point tried to copy the big brands and if you are looking for pretty neutrals, you are probably more limited in the west than on the Korean market.

Agreed. cushion foundations formulas seem less heavy than that of bottles and that’s why I like them.

We got 101 different shades of pink in lip tints that time to add some more colour to the foundations especially since not all Koreans are the same shade of a piece of paper

[@AngeeloRabaya]

Agree and there are many brands who sell more than 3 shades of their Cushion Foundations and some are high end brands like HERA they sell the darkest shade that is almost a good match for my skin tone which is #27. Even Men's cosmetic brands sell darker shades of their Cushion Foundations because there are many Korean Men with darker skin tones too like Be Ready and they even have a shade darker than my skin tone which is good for Tan skin tone. You just have to do your research and find Korean brands that sell what you look for in K-Beauty.

The thing is that it doesn't make any sense from a business perspective to produce what won't sell enough to recoup costs of production.

Hi, despite the shades being quite small, if you do fit the colour range and you're looking for an easy compact base, cushions are very nice products. Compared to any western product I've tried I was surpised to see the effect and the hold of these cushions. They give a very clean even skin tone that makes my skin look quite healthy with a nice glow. Most of the time I get a lot of compliments from everyone I know. I also noticed that despite having used the cushion for a very long time almost a year (which is kinda bad, but its my favourite product) I never experienced any kind of break outs or any bad effects from it. My skin is quite sensitive. As well as the pallettes, despite only having a limited range, there are some that are very pigmented and long lasting. Glittery shadows are very silky and smooth for affordable prices compared to western products. If you are going for more subtle shades of browns and just everyday colours. The palletes are very beautiful and high quality. These products are very well studied and have been used by many people. Theres a reason why these products sell quite well. Maybe, try being more specific with your research and avoid generalizing products to avoid. Give an example of singular products for your viewers to avoid. Videos like this aren't informative but quite misleading. Sorry. Hope you consider this.

[@Theninja112]

But… what if you’re pale and like discreet eyeshadows? Wouldn’t it be more accurate to say that don’t expect a lot of makeup that fits the western standards?

Cushion foundation is so good actually. The skincare benefit is what makes it cushion foundation not just the packaging. Very lightweight and actually lasted all day too

[@timo_miko6193]

I have some thoughts on this. Cushion foundations are my favorite makeup product - as a very light/fair tone Asian girly living in a western country, western foundations often look too yellow or dark on me! They just aren’t often made with common Asian undertones in mind. Since Korean foundation is made from Asia, of course it will be marketed towards more Asian skin tones. Of course the only real downside would be the lack of range and potentially the sponge getting bacteria, but you can also wash the sponge often to minimize this. And one good benefit of the cushions is how lightweight and buildable they are. I don’t really go for “full-coverage” looks, I like a more natural look. But if I do want full coverage, I can just apply more layers. Cushion foundations can be controlled easily and are very convenient to apply, you can tap excess foundation on the back of the sponge holder. Also, I found that you genuinely don’t need that much on your sponge to get good coverage anyway. I can press my sponge into the foundation once and it can cover half of my whole face already. My Clio mesh glow cushion makes my skin look even and gets rid of my dullness. It’s amazing. Because I also like natural looks, I love Korean palettes too. Though it’s true that you probably won’t need a lot of palettes to get the natural colors. But since it is Korean makeup, of course the makeup will be catered to Korean trends, so it really shouldn’t be surprising that there isn’t more “bold” makeup because the Korean trends are more about natural looks. And, Korean products tend to be much cheaper than western products, in my experience. The way this video showcases these makeup products feels a bit biased. If anyone reads this, please don’t be misled, there are plenty of benefits to these products!

Korean skincare Japanese haircare Chinese makeup Like this is all one needs to live

[@vipbaepsae]

hands down the only foundation that looks good on me throughout the entire day is a cushion foundation so nope, I'm gon keep throwing my money at that

[@Mia-ek1jp]

i loveee cushion foundations tho they look more natural, spf on it and most of them skincare incredients

[@hinatamercury]

Yes! Lack of shades and the wet cushion foundation which is perfect for bacterial growth has always prevented me from buying them

[@1pmbabe]

“is the pigment in the room with us?”

[@Truffoire]

looks so gorgeous! I'd love to give it a try❤️👌

[@sssaaaiii21]

I love how their eyeshadows are for natural makeup looks because that’s exactly what I do most of the time😭

[@TK_kalycha]

That why i saw a lot of people in korea has gray face and dark neck so they has only three shade of cushion 😂

[@seohyundai]

bro , i love cushion foundations smm!! i’ve never had any problem with them , and i wash the sponge every time i use so

[@Mandozen]

You’re so right about cushion foundations.

[@wanishuk6489]

for someone who doesn't really like foundation, I feel like cushion foundation is the best bcs it means I don't waste foundation but you're so right, about all the points especially the sponge contamination

[@markanthonydeguzman8706]

I really love your contents! glad I have found you❤️🎀

[@musical.unicorn]

hince and luna are my holy grails! I love love their base makeup formula for those who want a semi-matte finish

[@suicideshy451]

THANK YOU!! I really couldn't agree eith this more wow. But the compact tip was new to me im glad you brought it up

[@estherchan7193]

OMG yesss the last three brands legit the best suggestions

[@yothiga]

If you live in Asian already - skipping some popular brands that already accessible in your country. The price is not that different. Brand like innisfree, cosrx and peripera are the same or sometimes even cheaper in your own country when they are on sale. Auntie in cosmetic shop sells me a balm sticks that I found on shoppe later for half a price 😅 Ps. I live in Thailand

[@Song_Audrey]

I used to use pump foundations and it did not work well for me. When i found cushion, it changed my life. I get an easy application each time and its not cakey. I can wipe off excess on the back and it's rlly good bc i can refill by removing cushion and pumping in regular foundation. U do need to wash the sponge it comes with regularly to minimize contamination. I will agree that there arent alot of shades tho...

[@mrigamonmrigamon2615]

Banila co is actually gold>>>

[@mkay0630]

To add onto your point about eyeshadow, I've purchased two palettes on Amazon, one Rom&nd and the other peripera, and though you can see some distinct differences when looking at the palettes, when swatched, can create identical looks. Because Korean eyeshadow tends to be on the natural side, two eyeshadows of very different shades can look exactly the same on the eye. Definitely swatch if testers are available so you're not buying two of the same item!

[@mkay0630]

For reference, the palettes are Rom&nd's Better Than Palette in "07 Berry Fuchsia Garden" and peripera's All Take Mood Technique Palette in "05 Love You Pinkful Berry."

[@dlwlrmae]

I got the lip tint from Laka and when I tell you it has become my most favourite product ever. The tint is gorgeous, the finish is neither drying nor too glossy, and the TASTE!! To die for. Non accessible brands really do have some of the best stuff.

[@emmy5278]

I love korean makeup especially the eyeshadows because it's natural

[@minnie_k00]

well as someone who likes subtle and natural makeup, the eyeshadow palettes are definitely different in terms of tone, texture, color, and overall mood. subtle makeup also needs palettes that changes your overall makeup look subtly. so in my opinion, each palette have their unique differences and i wouldn’t say that they all look the same. if you prefer more vibrant color that is very pigmented, you wouldn’t really see much difference when looking at the palettes because that’s not what you are really looking for. in terms of foundation cushions, a lot of people like to use cushion because they just wanna take out a cushion and use it just as it is without having to take out a foundation bottle, pump it, and use a makeup brush. it might be a little bit more complicated than using a cushion (if you are a newbie, it might be easier to use cushion, but it really depends on what you prefer). there are a lot of cushions that you can choose. from full coverage to medium and light coverage. whatever you prefer. there’s always a reason why so many people use cushion, and i wouldn’t say it is a waste. in terms of the colors of the cushions, it is obvious that korean people don’t have a diverse range of skin tone. so typically, there’s only three colors to choose from. so if your skin is more on the darker side, you most likely won’t find a matching foundation for you.

[@sokyoul]

I have a cushion foundation from Holika Holika and I am in love with it! It already comes with a refill and it makes my skin so even and glowing! Can 100% recommend!

[@SxnnyxEms]

Your really pretty 🥰♥︎😊

[@myeggyweggy]

YOURE SO PRETTY

[@jungae98]

For cushions with more shades look at the face shop, (certain lines of) club clio and Pony. They have a little more variety (as Korean who is naturally a little darker than others/ likes to have tanned skins these brands have a slightly better range.) Club clio has some nice colour palettes for eyeshadow

[@amanduh172]

I like the wakemake palettes. And cushions come with a free refill. They go on easily and quickly. Mine from clio has such a seamless and glowy finish that lasts all day. I love my cushions. Korean eyeshadow palettes are really pretty in my opinion. I love brands like clio 3ce and unleashia

[@stephanneys]

I love how natural Korean shadows are I prefer soft look that pigmented and colorful

[@honeybunny1of23]

Thank you so much, you are so right.

[@loki6821]

Well if you are white AF do buy makeup foundations. They aren't full coverage but they have spf and look awesome if you put sebum powder on top. They are my go to for sure.

[@Egh0127]

Korean makeup is so for me then... I'm white but those eyeshadows are so my colors I have trouble in America finding pink eyeshadow pallets in the drugstore or light neutrals and I'm so extremely pale naturally. I really wish I could shop at a Korean makeup store in America.

[@EVL-xj5vc]

Totally agree. Cheap sheet masks too - packaging is different but ingredients are very similar. Blusher colours are like the eye shadow, one or two is enough.

[@MadLadyHatter97]

I love Asian eyeshadow pallets,I don’t always love wearing bold,fun colors,sometimes I like going light and ‘nearly there’ and Asian eyeshadow pallets are perfect for that

[@daniellew.292]

totally agree. I do have a bunch of cushions tho, I only use them for touch up bcz they convenient

[@BisoMisoya]
