MISSHA Magic Cushion Foundation No.23 Natural Beige, Dewy Coverage | Korean compact with puff creates radiant buildable finish and smooth everyday base for quick touch-ups.

Decided to try this as I was on the hunt for something for *no makeup makeup* days and I was bolstered by the all the reviews that said they got *my skin, only better*. As soon as I got it I tried it with the sponge it comes with but found it to be a heavier coverage than what I was looking for. The next time I used a large foundation brush and stippled it into my skin. I did half my face with one tiny tap into the compact. It was beautiful. Although it looked way too dark for my skin tone while in the compact, it was a perfect match once applied. There was no caking or separating----it just looked like smooth, even, radiant skin. One tiny tap for each side of my face provided lovely light/medium coverage. Because such a very little goes a very long way I'm going to try one tiny tap for my entire face for the *no makeup makeup* days. If you're on the fence, please just try it. And you can't go wrong at that price!

I’m absolutely delighted with this Korean cushion foundation after the very first use. It leaves my skin looking smooth and perfected, but still very natural — no heavy or cakey feeling at all. The shade is light and works perfectly for fair skin. What really impressed me is how well it lasted all day, even while wearing a hat and scarf in Chicago’s cold weather. I only needed to apply a bit of setting spray and it stayed in place beautifully. One important tip: make sure to apply it with gentle tapping motions instead of rubbing the cushion on your skin — that makes a big difference in the finish. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a fresh, lightweight, and long-lasting cushion foundation.

Wanted to try this for a while and finally ordered it. Sleek little compact with a mirror! Great quality. It is fun and unique to press the sponge down and get the product to apply, be warned, you don't need a lot, a little goes a long way with this!! The coverage was pretty impressive and light weight on the skin. Great to apply quickly for those days where you don't have much time. My con is, I believe it might cause me some breakouts, not bad just something I definitely noticed while using the product. Others might not have that problem. Overall, a great coverage, non cakey, good value.

Wonderful, light coverage! Stays on all day. The color and texture look natural on me. I gave up on the highend foundations once I found this product!!

Quick Summary: The product goes on beautiful at first but about 4 hours in I was creasing and cakey. In depth review: Due to the pandemic and me working from home for the past year I decided to look for a cheaper alternative to my usual Estee Lauder foundation (Winter shade: 1W2 Sand, Summer Shade: 2W2 Rattan). I barely go out now and I used less than half my foundation over a period of 12 months. I have combination skin with my t-zone being oily and the areas around my nose being dry. Pros: - Buildable coverage. With one layer I was able to cover my redness and make my freckles more subtle. With 2 layers my freckles were covered the way I like them with it barely peeking from under. - Little bit of product goes a long way. Refer to my picture - that amount was able to cover half my face with a good coverage. Honestly it was like magic because I kept applying it and more just kept coming. - Looks amazing when first applied. My skin was beautiful (not under flash) when this was first applied on. It is dewy and looks just like skin. - Moisturizing. I used primer, powder foundation, and setting spray. Even after this my skin felt very moisturized compared to other foundations I have used, even Estee Lauder. - Has Sunscreen. As you can tell from my scary flash photo, this product has sunscreen which is why the skin is scary white. - Cute, compact, study cover. I only used this product twice but the cover for the cushion was cute and felt sturdy to me. It was smaller than the Etude House cushion makeup I also got. Cons: - Pink undertone (could be a pro for you). It was noticeable to me when I was passing by my reflection. With bronzer, contour, blush, and powder foundation (bare minerals Light 08 and yellow undertone and more suited for my skin for summer) it was less noticeable but I did not want to deal with having to make my foundation match my skin. - 4 hour mark is when my skin became noticeably cakey and creasing starting. Before the 4 hour mark my skin was very beautiful and natural looking. Once the 4 hour mark came and I checked my skin, it started to crease and get oily. By the 8 hour mark which was the end of my day I felt like my skin looked messy. Even with blotting to see if it would help, my skin still looked cakey. I did get oily with my Estee Lauder foundation however when I used tissue paper to blot my skin it would just take away the shine and my skin did not look cakey and creased like this one. However that is a +$40 foundation. - Transfers easily. About 2.5-3 hours in my skin started to get oily and because of this it transferred easily. Take what you need from this review. There are more pros than cons. I decided to return it and ultimately went with Etude House Double Lasting Cushion Glow shade 23N1 Sand because it looked better at the end of the day and was my exact shade. I was okay with paying $10 more for it.

This is quite frankly one of the best beauty products of this decade. I am 60 years of age, have light olive skin in the winter that tans easily in the summer. I have been an avid beauty product collector for 40+ years. After many failures with other Korean BB creams, I discontinued using them several years ago. Recently I came across Missha Magic Cushion and was blown away by the rave reviews. This cream does everything it says. #23 is a bit light for me, but it plays well under my regular light application of mineral makeup liquid product and powder. I had to apply two layers of Magic Cushion to achieve the extra coverage. I waited 5-minutes between applications for the product to set up. I followed this with my regular mineral liquid and setting powder. Magic Cushion wears very well. At the 3-hour mark, I had the most beautiful glow. Not oily, just a dewy fresh look. My face looked totally transformed using this product. Later this week I have a function to attend and am excited to be wearing Magic Cushion! Since I only had it on for about 7 hours the first time, I cannot yet attest if it lasts longer but I think it will. The first day after I wore #23, I ordered #27. It is almost a perfect color match to my face now, but it has just a tad of darkness to it that will be much better later in the summer. Meanwhile, I can easily adjust #23 to my liking by adjusting my liquid makeup or mineral setting powder. If you are over 50, I highly recommend this product. My skin is definitely NOT perfect, can be dry in spots, oily in the -zone, and overall very uneven. Magic Cushion smooths everything out. Just pat, pat, pat to apply. Do not rub. To the younger gals, you'll probably love it too, based on the reviews I've seen. Have I mentioned how much I LUV, LUV, LUV Missha Magic Cushion?! :-) About the mirror... It is covered with a thin plastic film that is difficult to remove. The first time I used a box cutter blade to carefully lift the film. The second time I was able to scratch a bit in the center with my fingernail to get a start point for removing the film. Either way works but they really need to add a pull tab. Problem solved. Highly recommend this product, especially at this price!

I love this it leaves a beautiful finish and is full coverage depending on how you apply. If you use provided sponge and pat the payoff is the best. For a more light coverage you can use a damp beauty blender.

Love it. Perfect color and texture. Nice, lightweight foundation with medium coverage that looks like skin.

El color es muy claro aunque es el mas oscuro de la gama, pero cobertura es perfecta. Yo lo mezclo con otra base mas oscura y queda perfecto. Deja una piel suave y jugosa, me encanta!

I am absolutely in love with this cushion and I think it's a great introduction to cushion foundations. The coverage is medium to buildable and 1 puff is all it takes for decent coverage for the entire face. The finish is super dewy and moisturizing which is a godsend for super dry and problem skin like mine. However, this might not work for the oily or even combo people out there as it will take a lot of powdering and setting to keep it from sliding all over. Lastly, as with most Korean cushion makeup, the shade range is ridiculously lacking so if you find yourself having even the slightest hint of a tan I doubt this will work for you. There are 2 darker shades available (25 and 27) which would definitely be worth a try, but they are harder to find in Canada :( Overall, I would recommend giving this a shot if you are looking for a healthy, dewy and moderate to full coverage and are having a hard time with other foundations leaving you looking dry and cakey (and also if you don't mind looking just a wee bit oily).
