Review: Missha M Magic Cushion Spf 50

So couple of days ago, I asked you guys khổng lồ vote on which BB cushion you’d like to see a reviews on first. If you still haven’t voted, you still can HERE. A lot of you guys wanted khổng lồ see the Missha x Line friends collection first because, well it is quite new and everyone loves the packaging. I admit, I didn’t need this cushion since I already have two in my collection but the chicken (Sally is it?) is too darn xinh tươi to pass up! I know for a fact that in Korea, it was almost sold out immediately & took them two weeks to lớn restock it. That was how popular it was, and totally justified in my opinion since it only costs 11,600 won ($10.11 USD) for the compact that already has a cushion inside và two other refills. That is the cheapest I have seen anywhere! Sadly I don’t think they are running that promotion anymore and have since changed it khổng lồ the compact, 1 refill & an extra air puff with the Sally thiết kế on it which is still not a bad giảm giá khuyến mãi for 11,600 won. Let’s get started with the review! 가자!! (⊙ꇴ⊙)

Limited edition/ Permanent?:BB cushion itself is permanent, compact thiết kế is limited edition

Description of product:“Magic cushion sponge for a quick & easy trang điểm application!

Product packaging:Let’s talk packaging. I know all of you guys are waiting this BB cushion just because the packaging is đáng yêu as sh*t. I ain’t gonna lie as well, I bought it because the bright yellow chicken compact is stupidly adorable.

On the side, it states that the version I got is the moisture version. I think it is kind of unnecessary and ruins the xinh tươi design but it doesn’t bother me that much. Just like any other BB cushion, you xuất hiện the compact by pressing the button on the side & the lid will pop up.

Inside is the super adorable air puff that actually has Sally’s design all over it và it is bright yellow. You can actually buy a pack of the air puffs itself for 6,000 won. Kind of overpriced but people still buy them haha. Of course there is also a mirror which comes in handy.

So cute! (ノ*゜▽゜*)

Pop open the compact lid & there is the BB cushion itself. When you first get the BB cushion, they always have this little seal to lớn ensure that this sản phẩm is new và never been opened.

How lớn use:If you have never used a BB cushion before, it is super simple. All you have to vị is take the flat sponge called the “air puff” và place it through two or three fingers khổng lồ secure it. Then lightly press the air puff into the cushion which is soaked with the BB cream. BB cushions are slightly different from BB creams, think slightly watered down BB creams that is soaked into a big sponge for easy application. Once you have got the sản phẩm onto the air puff, stamp it into your face & continue until you feel lượt thích you have enough coverage.

Color/ Pigmentation:Since Missha và A’pieu are both under the same company, I thought I would also include swatches of my A’pieu Air fit cushion which is pretty much the exact same product, màu sắc wise & formula wise. I personally bought shade #23 because I knew from experience that shade #21 was way too light and had a strong pink undertone. If you lượt thích the brightening look, shade #21 would be for you but I prefer #23 for the not so obnoxious vampire look.

Inside the refill, it looks super dark but rest assure, it blends into my Mac NC25 skintone perfectly. I just pray I don’t get tan during the Summer time since I wouldn’t want my BB cushions lớn go to lớn waste. Then again, I don’t ever go out to tan or even go lớn the beach so I should be fine? I say in the most hopeful tone…

From the picture, you can see the Line friends and my older Betty Boop collaboration from couple months back, they have the same màu sắc and formula so no changes there. Comparing the Missha shade #23 & A’pieu shade #23, in pictures it looks as though A’pieu is slightly lighter and slightly warmer undertone wise but blended out, they all look the same khổng lồ the naked eye. A’pieu’s shade #21 I never use since it is way too light for my liking but it has a strong pink undertone. I could use it to vị subtle highlighting but I don’t bother lớn be honest.I’m not sure if #23 would work for anyone over Mac NC25. Anyone with NC30 would be pushing it, so if you are darker then that, I’m sorry but you are out of luck. That is the problem with Korean cosmetics, they never ever make enough shades to suit different skintones & is still stuck in the stone age, beauty standard wise. I get that the pale, healthy skin, don’t tung look is super in but a whole population can’t be just 2 shades. Lượt thích COME ON! Even me as a pale girl is pissed, imagine the rest of the nation và people overseas that want khổng lồ buy your product. MISSHA GET IT TOGETHER. Korean brands, GET IT TOGETHER. UGH. There, I said it.

Texture/ Finish:When you first apply it khổng lồ the skin, there is a very subtle dewiness which I absolutely love. I’m not sure if it was because I used the one that I have already opened from the Betty Boop compact, but Missha’s cushion set a lot faster then I remembered. A’pieu’s stays dewy at least 3 hours until it fully sets khổng lồ a more satin finish, but Missha’s took about 4 minutes. So it really depends on your preference. If you lượt thích a more dewy finish, get the Sally one & if you are more of an oily skin type, get the bear one. Sorry I’m really not familiar with Line friends….

Coverage:This sản phẩm has a light to medium coverage that is buildable. Word of advice, when you apply this BB cushion, don’t apply too much at once. I found it khổng lồ apply slightly blotchy when I had too much product on the air puff, so vày it in thin layers. For me, one layer is enough but you can definitely build it up with two layers for more coverage.

Lasting power:For me on my dry skin, this lasts a good 6 khổng lồ 8 hours before fading ever so slightly on my cheeks & around my nose area. I don’t lượt thích to mix my BB cushions since I like the dewiness it gives which also provides extra moisture. So 6 to lớn 8 hours is quite good in my opinion, with no powder lớn ensure longevity.

Fragrance?:There is a slight soapy floral fragrance but goes away after application. Smell-o-scale: 4/10.

Demo timeee :P. The most fun part of the reviews for me, always!

Here is my bare face without an ounce of make up. And yes, I’m totally aware that my eye brows vì chưng not match my hair màu sắc HAHA. I really should look into eyebrow tinting. My strong brows isn’t something I can hide.

Skin concerns:-hydration for my dry skin-flakey dead dry skin-dark under eye circles from lack of sleep-slight redness around cheek, nose and chin

Things I look for in my base make up:-hydrating-dewy finish preferred-evens out redness around nose, cheek và chin-does not cling onto dry patches

Let’s start!

I usually lượt thích to start on the cheeks & work from there.

I shall also test this under the eyes khổng lồ see if it is any good.

One side is done. Not too shabby. It toned down the redness, slightly neutralized my under eyes but I wouldn’t recommend using it under the eyes since it creases a lottttt. Just stick lớn your usual under eye concealer.

It looks quite nice from a distance.

Before….

Close up under florescent light, it can pick up any uneven textures you have. Under natural sun light, you won’t be able lớn detect much và looks super natural. I would not recommend this sản phẩm if you were khổng lồ use it for HD photography. For everyday natural use, yes!

Now both sides are done but I left my left under eye alone. Don’t lượt thích this BB cushion under the eyes. All it does is just accentuates my fine lines & it moves around too much for that area.

This cushion isn’t as dewy as I remembered. Either that or I’ve always remembered that A’pieu’s and Missha’s is exactly the same. Maybe not anymore.

With a full face of make up. Brows tinted, just mascara on the eyes with a little bit of a champagne shimmer (Memebox stick eyeshadow) in the inner corners, Pony effect’s contour, blush & highlight.

Not half bad. Not as dewy as I would lượt thích it to lớn be but still not half bad.

The only problem I have is that if you don’t apply this in very thin layers, it can cling onto sone dry patches of skin if you don’t moisturize well.

Look closely around my nose area lớn see what I mean.

Also if you look very closely right between my eyebrows, you can see the formula settles in the cracks of dry skin. Not liking that( ´△｀).

Pro:-very affordable and comes with refill(s)-nice formula with two versions to suit different skin types-slightly dewy finish, sets khổng lồ satin finish-shade #23 matches well with my NC25 skintone

Con:-if not careful with application, can settle into fine lines và dry patches

Repurchase?:Maybe…
