Tonymoly BCDation Cushion

I will have a separate video and blog review of the liquid version:)
I usually get my Korean makeup products either from ebay.com or stores in Chinatown/Ktown. You can also shop on Roseroseshop.com, oo35mm.com(they have a store in Chinatown which I go to), sokoglam.com, yesstyle.com, and etc. 



I love how they added one more shade to the range since Korean brands usually only carry two shades. However, this shade feels very similar to the standard second shade in normal Korean makeup. That being said, it's not much deeper/warmer than the original 02 or 23 I tried in other brands. It can also mean that the first shade in this line is probably lighter than usual. I would really love to see Korean brands expanding their foundation/bb cream/cc cream to shades that are more toward medium to tan because there are a lot of tanned complexion Southeast Asians out there. I can see that few Korean brands are coming out with different undertones such as for Neutral and Warm, but the warm ones are really not that much warmer and still on the paler side. It's time to match your foundation to the rest of your body! It's kind of scary to see people with paler face, and then in flash photography appearing to be ghost like:/ That's a big no no and so unflattering! I think maybe half or one shade lighter for the face is fine as long as you end up bronzing up the face or slightly contour a little bit. Or you can go with something that's a perfect match, and then highlight the high point of your face so it appears more 3 dimensional. Either way, Korean brands need to come out with more shades so more people can enjoy their products since the entire globe is all about Korean beauty now:)


I don't really like this air puff, and not sure if it's antibacterial. Since then, I started using either a brush or beauty blender to apply this foundation, and it's much better.
