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.
@@Blooprint394Thisss... yes true commute beauty guru is real in Asia. In another note... Darker colored Asian do need their own color range. It's sad that's it's harder for them. They can customize for sure, but not everyone has the talent of color theory.
For me, the most difficult to buy onlone are hera and dasique. If you try it and love it, buy it. For cushion depends, have a really nice formula and are easier to blend. And clio cushion have always a free refill, so is 30ml (like every liquid foundation)
Hera foundation used to be $20 around and now they be selling their foundation at $55+ and their tints are $27+ and honestly I don’t blame them😂 they are so good best cushion I’ve ever used is from Hera.
@@cristinasalguerogonzalez2189 yep that was 5 years ago though, hera foundation( with refill) costed at most $25 was the type of brand similar to Iope at the time. But now it’s an established luxury brand in Korea.
As a Korean, i highly recommend the cushion foundation bc it can give you a clean look and it's easy to use so that you can bring it everywhere! i might look bit expensive than buying a foundation, you can only buy a refill after you use them or often the package already contain a refill so don't worry abt it!
But do you notice if you breakout more with it due to the cushion contamination? E.g. same cushion dipping into the foundation and back on your face, reapplying throughout the day when your face is already oily etc
@babytofu14121989 I've never had contamination from that. Just wash your cushion often. Also there's something wrong with your powder if your skin gets oily that easily 😅
@@user-vy1co6bq3z That is the incorrect way to reapply makeup. You're supposed to wipe away the oils FIRST! Just like how you usually do your makeup on a clean face.
Agreed. cushion foundations formulas seem less heavy than that of bottles and that’s why I like them. I have never considered wearing foundations till I discovered cushion foundations. they give a “my skin but better” look. Wish they came in more variety of shades tho. 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
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.
I'm the complete opposite, I love cushion foundations and korean eyeshadows palette. A someone with pale skin and dark hair and eyes, I find korean make up more flattering on me.
aww but the laneige summer(??) cushion feels so nice on the skin, so light and non sticky. I agree about the breaking out though, but i still love it too much to stop buying it..
Just wash your sponge. It’s the same as beauty blenders and makeup brushes; if you don’t wash them ever how are you going to expect not to break out? As with the actual foundation, if you’re using it up in a reasonable time frame the preservatives ought to keep it safe.
@@nourbahroun7811 you can check ESQA, Looke and Luxcrime cushion. They're considered as Indonesian premium cosmetic brand and have various shades, including tan skin.
@@nourbahroun7811not sure if they're available internationally, but I'd recommend somethinc, rose all day, luxcrime or esqa. i personally use luxcrime and the formula's pretty nice too :)
I had the eyeshadow problem when I moved to Japan 😂 Neutral colors everywhere... need to order literally 100% of my eyeshadow palettes from other countries 😭
Lilybred and banila co are pretty famous in south east Asia and it's easy to buy it here 😊. your content is good as always, and I love your make up ❤ you're so pretty!
The brands you mentioned are all very famous and popular brands, and the cushions don't get dirty unless you keep them dirty. If you want colour like foreign brands, don't buy Korean cosmetics. All eye shadows come in natural colours. This is the best part of Korean cosmetics.
I love cushion foundation because sometimes they are more heavy in the skincare benefit than heavy coverage. Also, the cushion foundation formula is way better than regular in bottle foundation, bonus part they easy to bring anywhere and easy to apply everywhere. So idk, I guess i think cushion foundation is worth it but everyone have different opinion
the single sparkly eyeshadows at etude house are gorgeoussss tho like the pigments are pretty sheer but they leave the most beautiful sparkle behind and theyre my top favorite korean eyeshadows ever!
Im like the opposite. If I’m going to Korea, I’m 100% shopping for those. Cuz I can finally actually try the products instead of getting them and guessing if it’ll match lmao
쿠션이 확실히 아침마다 편하게 쓸수있긴한데 색상선택폭이 너무좁음.. 해외나가면 색상폭이 보통 20-60까지 다양하게 나오다보니까 한국인 피부톤에서 조금이라도 벗어나는 분들은 쿠션 살필요가 정말 없음 아이섀도우도 발색이 진하지않으면 어두운 피부톤에선 잘 안보여서 그닥 추천 안하는듯
The only foundation that works for me is a mesh Clio cushion. It makes my skin look good and it stays. I just replace it often so I don't break out🤷♀️
Banila co is pretty accessible globally, seen it in European drug stores. I agree with the eyeshadow thing, especially if you like pigment cuz Korean shadows have 0 pigmentation and 0 saturation. I do love foundation cushions tho, there is always a risk of break outs even with regular foundation since you use a sponge or a brush anyway.
I agree. For me i only use cushion foundation for touch up because it has mirror so i only need one mini size in my everyday bag. At home i prefer traditional foundation or bb cream.
Even if K-beauty eye shadow palettes have wider selection of shades, many prefer wearable colours. They have access to other colours from non K-beauty brands, but it is not desired. Koreans just don't wear colours the way westerners wear colours. It is not profitable to sell colours that are not popular.
@@magnoliaflower3310 you have a point there but the color story are always the same may it be from a different brand or packaging. Tho it does help if you want to stop hoarding makeup.
Yeah, but it if, compared to western palletes, not so much uselss stuff. I mean sure, most western brands also do the pink and neutral stuff all the time, but many brands release bright color pallets with orange, blue, yellow, green,... and I don't see any situation in my life where I would go to the store and say "Oh 12 shades of green, I need this!"
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. Korea has a population under 52 million, and not all women wear makeup, so the entire Korean beauty market is competing for less than the population of Florida. Adventure is costly.
can't relate. I have a cushion and an eyeshadow palette (all glitter, VERY pretty and the kind of glitter I can't find in local brands) from Korea that I REALLY really like... then again, I'm very pale and my skin is dry/sensitive. plus, I live in Brasil, maybe in the US yall just have everything so much better, idc. I find Korean makeup to suit my needs very well, as I also prefer natural makeup. so... your mileage will vary 🤷♀️
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
about the eyeshadow that was so accurate hahah, the colors are probably the same when you applying on the face and really don't make any visible difference from others 'natural' eyeshadow palette korean has. but for the pretty and cute packaging... i still can't resist 💔
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!
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."

meanwhile i can only wear cool - pale shade which most korean or japan makeup have 🥲 because where i live most of the makeup spectrums are catered towards warm - dark tones, even my local makeup's brightest shade is still dark for me
They're facts but what not to buy is purely opinion. Some people have pale skin and like the convenience of being able to carry a cushion compact, some people don't like intense or bold colored eyeshadow or don't need it
@@AliceBunny05 tbh ive never been a foundation girl but im from the uk and i literally think the only foundation that would work on me (if i wanted to wear foundation) would be korean foundation,im very pale and most of the lightest uk shades r two shades too dark for me
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
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!
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.
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? Like not 40 shades of foundation, brightly colored eyeshadow, fun colored lipstick etc? Surely it just fits the beauty standards and trends of Korean people?
her content is mostly catering to westerners interested in kbeauty so her explanations are targeted towards them, nvm that koreans dont rly go for bright, graphic/vivid makeups on the daily like at all
I want to go shopping for make-up just to find a matching shade. Where i live, it's all darker tones and very pink based. The first shade is either too dark or too pink. I'm very yellow and pale. I want a shade that matches 😊
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...
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.
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
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
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
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!
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
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.
Tbh when I go to South Korea I want to try the laneige color finder for cushion foundations. I’ve seen that they do a test and find your exact match color and make a cushion foundation right there
Omg the cushion foundation is the culprit for my breakouts since it is the one new in my routine!! Thanks for pointing that out. I have used it before but ived put it aside, then used it again, then boom, breakoutsss! thanks!
As someone who loves all kinds of makeuo and trying new styles, funny thing is, i actually thought of this before when i wanted to try kbeauty 3 yesrs ago! I did lots of research and only stick to four korean eyeshadow palettes, each in different tones, i thought about cushion foundations the same way as this girl does so i only got full bottles (i have 1 from VDL and one from Laneige), i have two Korean pressed contour powders i really like and a lotta different tones of lipstick/liptints! I also prefer the primers much more! But ofc, some things, i just prefer western softglam makeup even as someone who often switches up styles for fun. I will say i prefer rare beauty blush from korean blushes, it's better pigmentation and i find it more satisfying to apply. Although i will admit my fave korean blush is 3CE.
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.
Im from europe but can only find foundation and cushion foundation for my shade in Korea 😅 everything here is too dark or yellow. So when i go to Korea, i stock up like crazy !! Also, make up pallete. Have more options if u are cool tone .. It's hard for me to find anything but warm tone in here 😅 lip stains also great to buy in Korea since they ladt much longer and are much cheaper ❤ really depends what ur looking for, however u are correct those brands are impossible to find here 😢
i literally bought all of the things you said XD The shadow palette is best, bc in my country there are not enough nude palettes with subtle differences
For anyone in Spain there’s a shop here that carries some laka products too now, miin cosmetics, I have a lip tint and eyeshadow palette. They have two shops I Madrid, two in Barcelona I believe and one in Palma de Mallorca
I bought roundlab during my very short visit to seoul last year. I love it, and bought more online (from olive young, literally shipped from korea) lol. I totally agree that buying the stuff not available in your country is the way to go. Dont buy laneige, clio, or belif, they are already available everywhere!
I love Korean brands eye shadow palettes ❤ A lot of them look similar because different brands release similar colors in one season, so for me I will just buy one or two each season 😊
For more variety of shades Innisfree might be a good place to visit. Especially in an area with more foreigners (like Anam. Lots of international students) so they are more likely to have a variety of shades in stock (including cushions if you do choose to get one) Innisfree also have some cool products that aren't super available outside Korea, even though the brand itself is well-known outside Korea and is one of the most popular kbeauty brands globally

@@Blooprint394Thisss... yes true commute beauty guru is real in Asia.
In another note...
Darker colored Asian do need their own color range.
It's sad that's it's harder for them.
They can customize for sure, but not everyone has the talent of color theory.
The colorism? Making people who don’t fit the kbs feel horrible about themselves?
For me, the most difficult to buy onlone are hera and dasique. If you try it and love it, buy it. For cushion depends, have a really nice formula and are easier to blend. And clio cushion have always a free refill, so is 30ml (like every liquid foundation)
Hera foundation used to be $20 around and now they be selling their foundation at $55+ and their tints are $27+ and honestly I don’t blame them😂 they are so good best cushion I’ve ever used is from Hera.
@@cuixinshi omg, never though Hera was affordable. I always found their cushion 40 or more
@@cristinasalguerogonzalez2189 yep that was 5 years ago though, hera foundation( with refill) costed at most $25 was the type of brand similar to Iope at the time. But now it’s an established luxury brand in Korea.
If you live in US I think Dasique has an online shop now.
@@ameliapipi this is great, really love dasique
As a Korean, i highly recommend the cushion foundation bc it can give you a clean look and it's easy to use so that you can bring it everywhere! i might look bit expensive than buying a foundation, you can only buy a refill after you use them or often the package already contain a refill so don't worry abt it!
But do you notice if you breakout more with it due to the cushion contamination? E.g. same cushion dipping into the foundation and back on your face, reapplying throughout the day when your face is already oily etc
@babytofu14121989 I've never had contamination from that. Just wash your cushion often. Also there's something wrong with your powder if your skin gets oily that easily 😅
@@user-vy1co6bq3z That is the incorrect way to reapply makeup. You're supposed to wipe away the oils FIRST! Just like how you usually do your makeup on a clean face.
Agreed. cushion foundations formulas seem less heavy than that of bottles and that’s why I like them. I have never considered wearing foundations till I discovered cushion foundations. they give a “my skin but better” look. Wish they came in more variety of shades tho. 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
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.

I'm the complete opposite, I love cushion foundations and korean eyeshadows palette. A someone with pale skin and dark hair and eyes, I find korean make up more flattering on me.

aww but the laneige summer(??) cushion feels so nice on the skin, so light and non sticky. I agree about the breaking out though, but i still love it too much to stop buying it..
i love laneige
Just wash your sponge. It’s the same as beauty blenders and makeup brushes; if you don’t wash them ever how are you going to expect not to break out? As with the actual foundation, if you’re using it up in a reasonable time frame the preservatives ought to keep it safe.
Cushion foundation is just the best thing ever, I will never stop buying it
Ha, I am Korean living in Australia. Every time I go to Korea, I make sure to buy cushions and eyeshadows! They are the best.
About cushions shades, I'm lucky I live in Indonesia. We have some local cushions that have good quality and more shades from fair to dark skin.
Can you please tell me what Indonesian brands have the best cushions for medium/tan skin ?
@@nourbahroun7811 you can check ESQA, Looke and Luxcrime cushion. They're considered as Indonesian premium cosmetic brand and have various shades, including tan skin.

The brands you mentioned are all very famous and popular brands, and the cushions don't get dirty unless you keep them dirty. If you want colour like foreign brands, don't buy Korean cosmetics. All eye shadows come in natural colours. This is the best part of Korean cosmetics.
I love cushion foundation because sometimes they are more heavy in the skincare benefit than heavy coverage. Also, the cushion foundation formula is way better than regular in bottle foundation, bonus part they easy to bring anywhere and easy to apply everywhere. So idk, I guess i think cushion foundation is worth it but everyone have different opinion
the single sparkly eyeshadows at etude house are gorgeoussss tho like the pigments are pretty sheer but they leave the most beautiful sparkle behind and theyre my top favorite korean eyeshadows ever!

Im like the opposite. If I’m going to Korea, I’m 100% shopping for those. Cuz I can finally actually try the products instead of getting them and guessing if it’ll match lmao
As a Korean, there is more than one vibrant color in the eyeshadow palette? I immediately exclude that from my wishlist. 😅😅

i love natural colours more than ones that are bright and pop so those stores would be perfect if i were to learn how to do makeup
Cushion is great. It makes my skin look flawless and not too heavy.
The only foundation that works for me is a mesh Clio cushion. It makes my skin look good and it stays. I just replace it often so I don't break out🤷♀️
Banila co is pretty accessible globally, seen it in European drug stores. I agree with the eyeshadow thing, especially if you like pigment cuz Korean shadows have 0 pigmentation and 0 saturation. I do love foundation cushions tho, there is always a risk of break outs even with regular foundation since you use a sponge or a brush anyway.
Banila Co literally sold in every Ulta Beauty store 😂

I agree. For me i only use cushion foundation for touch up because it has mirror so i only need one mini size in my everyday bag. At home i prefer traditional foundation or bb cream.
So true about the eye-shadow palettes. K-beauty really needs more variety than the typical wearable tones ☹️
Even if K-beauty eye shadow palettes have wider selection of shades, many prefer wearable colours. They have access to other colours from non K-beauty brands, but it is not desired. Koreans just don't wear colours the way westerners wear colours. It is not profitable to sell colours that are not popular.
@@magnoliaflower3310 you have a point there but the color story are always the same may it be from a different brand or packaging. Tho it does help if you want to stop hoarding makeup.
honestly, as far as eyeshadow stuff goes it's their shimmers and glitters that really shine and i find is the best to spend money on
Yeah, but it if, compared to western palletes, not so much uselss stuff. I mean sure, most western brands also do the pink and neutral stuff all the time, but many brands release bright color pallets with orange, blue, yellow, green,... and I don't see any situation in my life where I would go to the store and say "Oh 12 shades of green, I need this!"
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. Korea has a population under 52 million, and not all women wear makeup, so the entire Korean beauty market is competing for less than the population of Florida. Adventure is costly.
Whenever I hear or see banilla co. only one person always pops up in my mind..😂 ykiyk 😂😂
Jeonghan💕
can't relate. I have a cushion and an eyeshadow palette (all glitter, VERY pretty and the kind of glitter I can't find in local brands) from Korea that I REALLY really like... then again, I'm very pale and my skin is dry/sensitive. plus, I live in Brasil, maybe in the US yall just have everything so much better, idc. I find Korean makeup to suit my needs very well, as I also prefer natural makeup. so... your mileage will vary 🤷♀️
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
about the eyeshadow that was so accurate hahah, the colors are probably the same when you applying on the face and really don't make any visible difference from others 'natural' eyeshadow palette korean has. but for the pretty and cute packaging... i still can't resist 💔
They're made for people with very pale skin and shallow eye sockets. Bright vibrant colors just looks dirty on most koreans.
If you're going to Korea never ever forget to visit their beauty products store or else you'll regret it !!!
Agreeeeed. Lippies are the way to go, they’ve been expanding their color ranges a bit by bit
I low-key wanna go to Korea just to buy Korean makeup and skincare
You can order online from the place where she went to, Olive Young. They have an online store and ship globally.
First step: GET TO SOUTH KOREA
Let's go army
Lol! We have most of the brands you mentioned.
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!
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."

meanwhile i can only wear cool - pale shade which most korean or japan makeup have 🥲
because where i live most of the makeup spectrums are catered towards warm - dark tones, even my local makeup's brightest shade is still dark for me
I love how their eyeshadows are for natural makeup looks because that’s exactly what I do most of the time😭
Yes! Lack of shades and the wet cushion foundation which is perfect for bacterial growth has always prevented me from buying them
I love it when people just straight up tell facts without putting glitters on it.
Thank you for these informations
They're facts but what not to buy is purely opinion. Some people have pale skin and like the convenience of being able to carry a cushion compact, some people don't like intense or bold colored eyeshadow or don't need it
@@AliceBunny05 tbh ive never been a foundation girl but im from the uk and i literally think the only foundation that would work on me (if i wanted to wear foundation) would be korean foundation,im very pale and most of the lightest uk shades r two shades too dark for me
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
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!
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.
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? Like not 40 shades of foundation, brightly colored eyeshadow, fun colored lipstick etc? Surely it just fits the beauty standards and trends of Korean people?
her content is mostly catering to westerners interested in kbeauty so her explanations are targeted towards them, nvm that koreans dont rly go for bright, graphic/vivid makeups on the daily like at all
I want to go shopping for make-up just to find a matching shade. Where i live, it's all darker tones and very pink based. The first shade is either too dark or too pink. I'm very yellow and pale. I want a shade that matches 😊
i thin you’re misinterpreting .. she just said it’s not worth buying more than one or two palettes since they all have similar shades
It's pale enough
she isn't saying they're bad she's saying you probably don't need more than a couple of them since there's so much shade overlap
I prefer to use liquid foundation, but cushion foundation is necessary. Especially, retouching. 2&3 ideas are good.
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...

Like this is all one needs to live
“is the pigment in the room with us?”
bro , i love cushion foundations smm!! i’ve never had any problem with them , and i wash the sponge every time i use so
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.

That why i saw a lot of people in korea has gray face and dark neck so they has only three shade of cushion 😂
i loveee cushion foundations tho they look more natural, spf on it and most of them skincare incredients
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
ENA SOUNDS SOOO GOOD OMG
hince and luna are my holy grails! I love love their base makeup formula for those who want a semi-matte finish
OMG yesss the last three brands legit the best suggestions
looks so gorgeous! I'd love to give it a try❤️👌
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
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
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!
The lip tints are so good there, my cousin bought me one and its amazing
I love korean makeup especially the eyeshadows because it's natural
I love how natural Korean shadows are I prefer soft look that pigmented and colorful
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
This is everything I WOULD BUY because i only wear light and natural makeup
You’re so right about cushion foundations.
Banila co is actually gold>>>
the best thing from Korean cosmetics that I definitely need right there is the perfect light foundation
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.
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
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
Tbh when I go to South Korea I want to try the laneige color finder for cushion foundations. I’ve seen that they do a test and find your exact match color and make a cushion foundation right there
YOURE SO PRETTY
I really love your contents! glad I have found you❤️🎀
Your really pretty 🥰♥︎😊
Omg the cushion foundation is the culprit for my breakouts since it is the one new in my routine!! Thanks for pointing that out.
I have used it before but ived put it aside, then used it again, then boom, breakoutsss! thanks!
As someone who loves all kinds of makeuo and trying new styles, funny thing is, i actually thought of this before when i wanted to try kbeauty 3 yesrs ago! I did lots of research and only stick to four korean eyeshadow palettes, each in different tones, i thought about cushion foundations the same way as this girl does so i only got full bottles (i have 1 from VDL and one from Laneige), i have two Korean pressed contour powders i really like and a lotta different tones of lipstick/liptints! I also prefer the primers much more! But ofc, some things, i just prefer western softglam makeup even as someone who often switches up styles for fun. I will say i prefer rare beauty blush from korean blushes, it's better pigmentation and i find it more satisfying to apply. Although i will admit my fave korean blush is 3CE.
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.
Im from europe but can only find foundation and cushion foundation for my shade in Korea 😅 everything here is too dark or yellow. So when i go to Korea, i stock up like crazy !! Also, make up pallete. Have more options if u are cool tone .. It's hard for me to find anything but warm tone in here 😅 lip stains also great to buy in Korea since they ladt much longer and are much cheaper ❤ really depends what ur looking for, however u are correct those brands are impossible to find here 😢
i literally bought all of the things you said XD The shadow palette is best, bc in my country there are not enough nude palettes with subtle differences
For anyone in Spain there’s a shop here that carries some laka products too now, miin cosmetics, I have a lip tint and eyeshadow palette. They have two shops I Madrid, two in Barcelona I believe and one in Palma de Mallorca
The hince concealer is so good you guys
I bought roundlab during my very short visit to seoul last year. I love it, and bought more online (from olive young, literally shipped from korea) lol. I totally agree that buying the stuff not available in your country is the way to go. Dont buy laneige, clio, or belif, they are already available everywhere!
im still gonna use the Kill over glow mesh foundation, it just looks so good! plus i feel like the mesh is much better than the sponges
I love Korean brands eye shadow palettes ❤ A lot of them look similar because different brands release similar colors in one season, so for me I will just buy one or two each season 😊
For more variety of shades Innisfree might be a good place to visit. Especially in an area with more foreigners (like Anam. Lots of international students) so they are more likely to have a variety of shades in stock (including cushions if you do choose to get one)
Innisfree also have some cool products that aren't super available outside Korea, even though the brand itself is well-known outside Korea and is one of the most popular kbeauty brands globally
