I raved on about the Sulwhasoo Perfecting Cushion Foundation some time ago on my Instagram and when I was given the privilege to select an item to trial, I just knew I had to try the IOPE Air Cushion Foundation XP in my shade N23. (Currently obsessed with cushion foundations thanks to Ponikuta)
"What is cushion foundation?
Half BB Cream and half foundation, it promises to create a flawless finish every time with its truly innovative design.
What it does
A one-of-a-kind foundation featuring a cushion that is soaked in foundation, it is designed to be applied by lightly patting onto your face using the special sponge provided (the sponge doesn't absorb any product so nothing goes to waste). The unique application technique provides easily buildable coverage to give skin a radiant and natural look whilst covering freckles and imperfections. Packaged in a sleek and convenient carry case, it's perfect for carrying around in your handbag for touch ups throughout the day. Offers SPF 50+ protection from UVA and UVB"

Here it is, the ever so simple packaging propped together with my wood and indoor plant collection - obsessed much? :)
AM: I tried to take some pictures throughout the day to show how long lasting it is and how simple it is to create that dewy finish. After my regular morning skincare routine, I applied the foundation to only the right side of my face - as you can tell - my natural skin is dull and and I look tired. I found the IOPE Air Cushion Foundation to be more watery in texture compared to my Sulwhasoo Perfecting Cushion Foundation. I love both equally though as it is so easy for cushion foundations to control and build the coverage that you're after.
NOON: Completed the look with brows, blush and lips. I naturally have oily skin so although I like the dewy finish, I like to dust some powder on before my blush :)
PM: As some of you know, I've taken some time off work and have been hitting the gym almost daily. I didn't bother removing my makeup and I also wanted to snap a pic post workout.
It comes sealed with an inbuilt mirror and sponge partition. Best thing is that you don't have to get your fingers dirty! Of course, I'd still recommend washing your hands after application ;)
Selfiee haha. Purple nails are ZOYA in shade Perrie.
Another bonus with cushion foundations is that it comes with a refill!
While travelling to Korea in April, I stocked up and also picked up the HERA UV Mist Foundation, which I can't wait to try as well!
Have you tried cushion foundations? If so, what are your thoughts? I give it a big thumbs up!
