TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion Mini #34C (Amber)

Honestly, the best cushion foundation bought. Saw this across social media and thought whether it’s really that good and given it’s not too pricey, decided to try it for myself.If you don’t want to get the trail kit, there are filters on TikTok and Instagram on their official page to “try” on the shades. That was what I did and surprisingly, it matchedddd!!! It’s a super easy process and the colour I found matched perfectly with my skin tone. Very lovely.Korean foundation shades tend to be toooooo light for fairer skin angels but the range of shades really helped for yellower and duller skin girlies. The coverage is superb and it doesn’t transfer easily, almost like glues to your face but comes off well with micellar water. Did some mild work out with it on and ... MoreHonestly, the best cushion foundation bought.

Did some mild work out with it on and it didn’t melt off with my sweat surprisingly. It doesn’t feel oily too and doesn’t have the typical cakey look. But it surely still set into the fine lines under the eyes and smile line around the mouth.It a really gooood buy and there’s a lottttt of product in the cushion which is something I rarely see in other brands like Laneige. I don’t type reviews this long but this foundation truly deserves a good time of fan girl-ing over!

Shade and oxidization: The shades are definitely darker than normal korean shades. Clio 23N was almost too light for me but tirtir 21C is almost perfect. Tirtir 23N was slightly dark and pinkish for me when first applied, after 30 minutes it oxidized and became visibly more red/orange. 21C remain almost the same, surprisingly.Coverage: I did skin prep and put on sunscreen (skin1004 sun serum) half an hour before I use the product. The coverage is medium to high, semi-matte. This cushion hide redness, scar and pores well. However at close range, it seems to emphasize small skin bumbs like closed comedones, it also looks powdery and very easy to tell you have some makeup on (which may just be how full coverage cushions are). Definitely be very careful or avoid areas ... MoreShade and oxidization: The shades are definitely darker than normal korean shades.

Definitely be very careful or avoid areas that are dry or with lines and wrinkles, this product looks very cakeky around the eyes,nostrils , and smilelines. From a normal range or from camera, this cushion can look very nice as it even out skintone and cover up quite a bit, giving a uniformed and smooth finish. If applied well, this cushion stays for a long time, but definitely transfer. It doesn't feel heavy or drying at all on my face, but it feel less moiturizing than my glow cushions for obvious reasons and can cling to dry patches without skin prep.Overall I would still use the 21C, however I won't recommend or repurchase this exact product for people with the same skin type as myself.

Neutral tone not neutral at all

*First for reference my perfect match is Missha's Perfect Cover BB Cream Ex in Shade 23*I tend to go for shades 22~23 in korean foundations. From personal experience I can say that korean foundations tend to struggle with neutral tones and they always tend to be slightly yellow. Neutral 21 (usually Ivory) tends to be the only shade that manages to be neutral but they are VERY bright even for me in Winter when my skin gets lighter. They tend to forget that not every neutral toned person is extremely pale that's why I was looking forward to using the slightly darker neutral shades of this cushion.However, this shade N23 is just straight up orange on me. It gets worse the longer I leave it on as well. In my opinion Rom&nd does a better job at true neutral ... More*First for reference my perfect match is Missha's Perfect Cover BB Cream Ex in Shade 23*I tend to go for shades 22~23 in korean foundations.

It gets worse the longer I leave it on as well. In my opinion Rom&nd does a better job at true neutral colors.Besides the fact that the shade doesn't match the coverage is quite nice but it feels a bit heavy(?) on my face even with one layer. It completely covers blemishes and moles If that's something you're after. The puff is a little small for my preference and a bit hard to use I prefer bigger and thicker ones but that's easy to fix. I have to say I had high expectations considering the hype around this cushion online but it didn't meet my expectations so I probably won't try a lighter shade also considering it's not the cheapest cushion out there. So far my search for a matching cushion foundation will continue!

Ok cushion, not for dry skin or beginners.

I have normal skin, no obvious skin problem, and live in a very dry climate. My everyday cushion is the Romand bare water cushion shade 23. I bought the tirtir shade 21C and 23N. As a disclaimer, I never need a matte or semi-matte cushion, nor do I need full coverage, I bought this as an experiment, and also because tirtir has a more extensive range of shades including more cool tone options that doesn't require you to be excessively fair-skinned. I tried the tirtir tiktok filter under natural lighting and 21C was almost a perfect match.1. PackagingI am not a fan of this packaging. The package came to me looking ok, with everything inside, and unopened. The container looks like it was of lower quality than clio, amuse, romand etc. Container is plastic-y, lighter ... MoreI have normal skin, no obvious skin problem, and live in a very dry climate.

The package came to me looking ok, with everything inside, and unopened. The container looks like it was of lower quality than clio, amuse, romand etc. Container is plastic-y, lighter than the other cushion I have tried, and lacks the weight to make it feel more luxurious. Inside the container, the components can be found to move slightly at times, unlike clio cushion for example, which was very sturdy and hardly moved at all. The plastic protection on the mirror looked scratchy but the mirror was nornal. Puff is ok, pleasant, big and bendy.2. ProductFragrance: This product has a synthetic smell that is unpleasant for me. I personally think clio glow mesh cushion, romand bare water cushion or even the tirtir crystal mesh cushion smell a lot better.Ease of use: This is more difficult to use by beginners. Portion control is very important. When I dipped the puff into the cushion, puff came out blotchy and uneven and you really need to even the product out on the lid. I am very unexperienced with this type of matte, sponge cushion, this problem I never had with mesh product.

Oxidization is no joke!

I brought this product going into it knowing that it was known for oxidization and still fell victim of it myself.. Shade 21N practically changes colours . HOWEVER I am willing to give it another try because i was very impressed with how lightweight and well coverage this foundation offered the whole layout of the packaging too was incredible, It all seems very professional , built in mirror , button to open. applicator stored inside. I understand that most kbeauty cushion foundations are like this but i have never come across one that opens with a button and has a mirror! This would be the perfect travel foundation in my opinion! Shade range is also lovely to see for Korean products ,seeing so many shades for alot of skin tones just means that a lot more people are ... MoreI brought this product going into it knowing that it was known for oxidization and still fell victim of it myself..

Shade range is also lovely to see for Korean products ,seeing so many shades for alot of skin tones just means that a lot more people are able to enjoy and access this product and due to the popularity its received i can only hope more kbeauty products take after tirtir and make darker shades because this product practically went global and i can see why! Such a dewy finish to the foundation too i was very pleased with how beautiful it made my skin looked and really evened out my skin ,only problem is the misleading swatches on the website and the intense oxidisation BUT I have brought it again in shade 17W in hopes it is my shade!!!

The truth!

So this foundation is all over the Web on many of the social media platforms, I am late to the party on this one but here is my honest thoughts, before I get into it, I’m not an influencer or being paid for a review, I’m a normal Middle Aged woman, who likes good products who’s also truthful and wants to let those who are not on social media (like my Mom) what the products are like so you can get and idea and try themFabulous product and I can see why one is sold every 4 seconds, so why the bad reviews? Quite simply put, it’s in the application!ApplicationIf you think that you can keep tapping away at the pad and then apply it you will get yourself into a mess and will absolutely not like this foundation. One press and out is all you need, start on the cheek ... MoreSo this foundation is all over the Web on many of the social media platforms, I am late to the party on this one but here is my honest thoughts, before I get into it, I’m not an influencer or being paid for a review, I’m a normal Middle Aged woman, who likes good products who’s also truthful and wants to let those who are not on social media (like my Mom) what the products are like so you can get and idea and try themFabulous product and I can see why one is sold every 4 seconds, so why the bad reviews? Quite simply put, it’s in the application!ApplicationIf you think that you can keep tapping away at the pad and then apply it you will get yourself into a mess and will absolutely not like this foundation. One press and out is all you need, start on the cheek nearest the ears and tap across and down, if after the first tap it looks a lot of product , go to the compact and tap the product on the flip out inner case to release some of the product (don’t worry you can pick it back up) then tap what you do have across towards the nose and then down and across again, keep going until the one side of your face is covered, if you need more product go back to where you dropped the excess and pick it up from there. Repeat the tapping me this until completely covered your face, build this foundation up slowly, and you will love it.This is a dewy foundation so if a bit of shine is not for you then either avoid or lightly tap powder on top again be sparing.LongevitySo is it 80 hours of wear? I couldn’t answer that however I will say from 9am to 12:00 midnight it had not shifted or gone patchy it looked as good as when it went on, I looked more tired than the foundation.ColoursI choose the ivory one, I was toying with the sand colour, but guessed I could warm it up if it was too light, because I don’t have much of a tan this is ok for me however I will be going to America soon and anticipate I will need to try the darker one, so this size to try will be perfect.Would I buy again? Well ask Skin Cupid, as I went an ordered the full size product in ivory and use it everyday.BreakoutsNon, infact combined with my skin care and using this foundation I feel my pores are less visible and my skin feels lightweight and not caked.So final thoughts.As a woman who’s go to was Chanel ultra le tent velvet (which has been discontinued, which I why I was on the look out anyway) yes this is now my new everyday foundation, and it is on par for coverage, so long as you get the application right.Hope it helps those not on social media to get an idea of the product.

Worth every penny

Now usually I tend not to use foundation of any sort because for some reason I get a rash of some sort due to it. However, ever since I started using the cushion foundation I found it has no reaction to my skin. The medium-full coverage is amazing. Not to diss any Korean foundation brands but as someone with a slightly darker complexion and a fairly strange undertone I found it matched my skin so well. It doesn't leave that heavy or caked face feeling when wearing which is exactly what I needed. I'm literally in love with this foundation. All I have to say is that it had heavy oxidation so it may become slightly by a bit become darker and that's the only fault I have about it. It may just be my bias with the fact that I can finally wear a GOOD cushion foundation but ... MoreNow usually I tend not to use foundation of any sort because for some reason I get a rash of some sort due to it.

not wow for dry skin

Even though I saw many reviews that it is suitable for dry skin, I don't think it is suitable for dry skin. I'm different from a lot of people I bought it with my own money I have no intention of promoting the brand I just bought it because I really thought it might be good for me but I found it to be on the drier side. Not extremely dry but yes on the drier side it's not moisturizing in any way it dries very quickly on the skin so you have to work very quickly otherwise there are areas with coverage and areas without and it doesn't look good it happened to me my skin is dry but I do prepare it well Before I put on make-up, the product is not bad, but it's not that wow. Especially for dry skin, probably the non-dry light will sit a little better or better in ... MoreEven though I saw many reviews that it is suitable for dry skin, I don't think it is suitable for dry skin.

Especially for dry skin, probably the non-dry light will sit a little better or better in general. For dry light it's a slightly less optimal option for my taste but I still use it because I bought it and it's expensive. I find that the relatively most successful way to use it is to take a little material not to take a lot and use a damp sponge that way it just fits me the most normally and sometimes it fits normally and sometimes it doesn't So it's like it changes every time and I just can't say that I recommend this product but it's sad that people are constantly marketing things and people like me are used to buying and being disappointed. What it is is durable in another section. I put it on in the morning and in the evening it still sits in place and doesn't move almost at all so that's the only advantage I see here on the other hand in the nose area it really emphasizes everything so I don't recommend that those who have dry skin put the It's on the nose, it's better to put something else more moist on the nose
