TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation | Full coverage, Weightless, Skin fit, Satin Glow Finish, Korean Makeup BB Foundation, beauty, Tattoo cover up, Buildable (#10C Shell, 0.63 Fl Oz)

TLDR: It's advertised as a buildable coverage foundation, so with lighthanded application, it suits my minimalist makeup style. It goes on easily and with a little time to react with my skin, it looks like natural, healthy skin -- not makeup. Trial and error with the shade matching is inevitable. Plus it's summer and if you're spending time outdoors (like me), different shades may match at different times I've never liked makeup -- probably bc as a teenager I watched my mother do her makeup for hours every morning and swore I'd never get up early to waste that much time making myself up for anyone. Fast forward 30 years -- while I would still go completely makeup-less if I could, dark spots/age spots/acne scars have forced me to consider a light approach to makeup. Plus I've been convinced that sunscreen is a must to fend off any further aging, so my late 40s makeup journey started with the search for the perfect tinted mineral sunscreen. For people who say this is too heavy or cakey, I disagree. You can use a very light touch with this, you just need to not squish the puff down hard into the compact's cushion. I'm able to dab very lightly into the cushion, and if I get too much, I pat it off on the inside of the black flap that covers the cushion. If it looks wet on my skin, I know I've put too much on. I'm able to achieve enough coverage to even out redness and cover spots/blemishes without looking or feeling like I'm wearing heavy makeup. Since I'm oily/combination, I'll powder lightly (with either Morphe Soft Focus translucent setting powder or Hourglass Vanish pressed powder in translucent tan). If it looks too matte after the powder or if it's a really hot day, I'll spray TirTir's Mask Fit Makeup Cool Fixer (the cooling effect is so nice -- I wish Amazon sold this). Immediately after application, I think the cushion foundation looks a little "flat" (even with highlighter and contour/bronzer), but with time, it must react with my skin and it starts to look like glowy, healthy skin. For people who are taking stars off bc of color matching -- you're buying makeup online -- no monitor or phone screen is going to accurately display a makeup color. So unless you're able to try this in person, it's going to be trial and error ordering online. I've gone through 6 shades (and 2 sample packs); aside from the 1st 2 shades not matching me, the others have been because it's summer and I'm getting darker as I spend more time outside. I have medium to tan skin with warm undertones -- this is the order of the shades I've tried and when I tried them: 27N Camel (mid-May): too yellow/olive for me. Also seemed to oxidize orange-ish on me 25N Mocha (late May): less yellow/olive than 27N Camel, but also too light on me 9-shade original sample pack (early June): sampled 24N Latte and 29N Natural Beige from the packets next to 25N Mocha from the compact. Both 24N and 29N seemed like potential matches. 25N was still too light. Instead of smearing on wet, I tried to press the sample makeup into my skin to mimic if I was using the puff and cushion compact; I'm convinced that the samples are okay to test colors, but don't represent the colors exactly as they come out of the cushion compact 27C Cool Beige (early June): TirTir released new shades so I wanted to see how this compared to 27N. 27C isn't really "cool"; it’s more peach-y and not as yellow/olive as 27N. It was a good match when I tried it. But this shade felt more drying than the previous cushions. I was coming off a week of antibiotics so maybe the meds dried me out, or maybe the newer shades are a different formulation? 24N Latte/29N Natural Beige (2nd week of June): got the compacts of these. Both were decent matches but I could see that 24N would be too light as the summer went on; 24N still seemed darker on me than 25N Mocha. 29N became my go-to shade for the next few weeks 6-shade medium sample pack (late June): ordered this to try the darkest shades in the pack, 30N Rich Honey and 31N French Beige. 31N was too dark for me and 30N was just a hair darker than my skin at that time 30N Rich Honey (mid-July): ordered 30N during the Prime day sale and it's been my go-to shade since then (it's now early August) I totally expect that as we go into fall, I'll revisit the lighter shades as my summer tan fades. I was initially drawn to these red cushion foundations because they were supposedly SPF 40 when there were only 3 shades, and unlike most tinted sunscreens, I wouldn't have to get it all over my hands to apply. However, the US packaging doesn't mention SPF, so I prep as if these have no SPF. I prep with TirTir's Milk Skin Toner Light (I chose the Light for my oily/combination skin -- love what this has done for my skin). Then a vitamin C serum (not TirTir), Baebody eye gel, then Baebody eye cream. Next, If I'm not going outdoors at all, I'll use Drmtlgy's Water Creme moisturizer, then apply the cushion foundation. If I'll be outside for only a short amount of time, I'll use LiveTinted Huegard 3-in-1 SPF 30, then the cushion foundation. If I'll be outdoors for an extended amount of time, I'll apply the cushion foundation after the Water Creme moisturizer and TirTir's Mask Fit (Blue) Cool Sun Cushion SPF 50+ -- I wish Amazon sold this. It's one shade and does start off too light on me, but I can pat it in and it leaves just a minimal lighter cast on me. I love that it's sun protection that I can apply with a puff and not my bare hands. I've never had any issues with the red cushion foundation pilling over any of these different products. With trial and error for shade matching and to get your desired amount of coverage, this TirTir red cushion foundation is an amazing product. 100% recommend the sample packs (if they're available) or the mini compacts to test shades, and also recommend TirTir's Milk Skin Toner Light, Mask Fit Makeup Cool Fixer, and Mask Fit Cool Sun Cushion (Amazon please please please start carrying these 2 Cool items!)

Get this product! It feels light on the face, no creases, amazing coverage, lasts all day, what else can you ask for? I got the shade 13C Fair, and it is the best color match I have ever achieved! Next time, I’m going to try the 10C Shell because the one I got is slightly too warm on me. I really appreciate TIRTIR’s color variety. Before this, I always used ELF products. They were always noticeably orange on me. They’d rub off, no matter how well I primed or set. Even worse, ELF never lasted me more than 6 hours at a time, even with touch-ups. This product is the exact opposite. No touch-ups necessary! I paired this product with the Milani ‘Make it last’ priming and setting spray and a powder. It is great for a casual everyday look. This product’s texture isn’t cakey and sits nicely. It covers my acne spots very well. In the photos, it is easy to tell that I am pretty red-toned. TIRTIR’s foundation handles this wonderfully. With such a small amount of product, coverage was even and consistent. Before this, I always thought I was doing makeup wrong, even though I’ve been doing it for years. It was never me, it was just bad makeup. My confidence has been restored! My only suggestion is that you get a tester to ensure you choose the color that is right for you. This product provides a lot of color variety, so be precise. For the best longevity, prime and set! TIRTIR Foundation is such a game-changer.

I really like this foundation I have sensitive and dry skin and it works pretty well and makes my skin look even, it’s kind of thick and has good coverage but it can feel like you have a lot on your face so if you’re not used to wearing a heavier foundation it might not be your favorite, especially using the sampler pack. The full size of these doesn’t feel very thick because it comes with a cushion to apply so you get a much nicer feel. This sample pack is great if you don’t know what shade to get of the full size! Each shade has a surprisingly good amount which is amazing. TIP: Make sure to wait for it to oxidize and use it with your full foundation routine (primer, setting spray, setting powder) too as that can also affect which shade you want to get if you’re choosing between two! (I use a white setting powder so I have the tanner of the two shades I was between)

I absolutely LOVE this foundation!! You have no idea how wonderful it is to FINALLY find an affordable foundation that matches my skin tone PERFECTLY. As a "woman of a certain age" (let's leave it at that!) my only choices when I first started wearing makeup were the only department store foundation made exclusively for Black women (before there was ever Fenty) or settle for weird looking drugstore foundation matches. And who would have thunk it would be a South Korean makeup company that would finally match my skin tone all these years later! I purchased shade 40N and 43N (at the time the two darkest TIR TIR shades). I got 43N because it was what a You Tube influencer that I follow used (MissDarcei) who is my exact shade in both summer and winter. When I heard that the foundation oxidizes a shade darker, I went with 40N first. As it turns out, 40N will work great for my winter shade. There are tutorials on You Tube on how to best apply this foundation to get the best results. Robert Welsh is a great place to start. As far as wear goes, I have done makeup tests with the foundation on my face bare skin and without primer and with skin care prep, and it looked as good as it did when I put it on. I wore this foundation for up to 12 - 15 hours each time, and the only thing that happened was that I did start looking a little "dewy" in my T-zone around hour 10, but nothing that a quick dab of powder wouldn't fix. The foundation never separated, never looked cakey, and didn't fill in any lines. It also played nicely with my concealer, etc. 1. It didn't separate even after almost 15 hours, which was the day I wore it just on my face and with nothing else on underneath it. 2. It didn't settle into my laugh lines or any fine lines. 3. There was very minimal transfer, and what transferred were things like blush and highlight. The foundation itself had practically no transfer. 4. The longer it was on my face, the better it looked, and it looked fantastic to start. Plus my skin looked great when I removed it. 5. It stayed on my face until I took it off, and this was even through gardening, running errands, and going out into a heat wave. IMPORTANT TIPS TO REMEMBER: 1. DON'T keep constantly keep pressing into the foundation. When they say a little goes a long way, they mean it. Press the applicator LIGHTLY once into the cushion so that you can barely see the foundation on the applicator. If you can see it, tap the excess off on the inside of the cover. It is buildable, so start with a very light layer, which will be more than enough to do your whole face. You should be able to lightly press into the compact and use that little bit to cover your whole face, and if you miss a spot or two, pick up the excess that you wiped on the inside cover and use that. 2. If the foundation looks cakey or orange, you applied WAY too much to the pad and piled the excess right onto your face. The more you apply in the very first application, the more it will oxidize and give you cake-face. 3. DON'T drag the applicator sponge across your face. That's another reason why you have cake face and look like an Oompa-Loompa. TAP the sponge into your face, starting from the center and work outward. 4. DO NOT use a foundation brush or beauty blender to apply this foundation. This will also give you cake-face because you're using too much foundation all at once. 4. SKIN PREP IS KEY! I have combo/oily skin, so I did my skin prep (clean skin, moisturizer, primer for oily skin), let it sit and soak in for 5-10 minutes, and then applied this foundation. If you have oily skin, set this foundation with powder. 5. Wait for the foundation to set before you apply anything on top of it. It dries down fast, especially if you apply it the right way. 6. Go a shade lighter than you think you'll need. Even with the light application, it does oxidize like any other makeup does. It will oxidize a shade darker. And again, if you put on too much, you will turn orange. I had no breakouts or flaky skin anywhere with this foundation. I think the people having problems with this foundation should address it through their skin prep. Of course there are people who will be allergic and who can't use the foundation, but I think the majority of people complaining about how the foundation looks don't know how to apply it correctly. TL:DR - Absolutely love this foundation; 10 out of 10 would recommend. UPDATE AND EDIT ON 8/27/2024: TL:DR - I still like this foundation, but I got one of the recent shade updates (45W Chestnut), and it was a swing and a miss. I got a bit darker than anticipated because - SUMMER- and was really excited that a warm shade had come out. I pre-ordered it, got two compacts of the new shade b/c I remembered how quickly they sold out, and got one of the first batches. Way, WAY too red. And when it oxidized, my face was two shades darker than my ears! Even after applying the foundation using the techniques I outlined earlier. Do I still like the product? Yes. I like the coverage, I like the wear-ability, I like how it feels on my skin. But if you're still listening, Tir-Tir, please make warm AND cool shades, especially in the deeper skin tones. POC have different undertones, and not all dark people have red undertones. I appreciate that you've been receptive to our requests thus far, but you're almost there with the shade range! Keep going, and like they say in K-Dramas, Fighting!

Honestly I do love this foundation, but HATE the packaging. The packaging is thick and bulky, but the amount of product you get is minimal- feels like a scam, honestly. If you are a foundation girl, this is not your product. If you are a minimal makeup girl, you’ll love it. This is not for dry skin. I have combination skin and it dries me out at times.. makes my skin peel depending on weather or how my skin is behaving. But with that said, it does not need to be set with powder, which is a huge plus for me, especially when traveling (less stuff to bring). I don’t wear a ton of foundation (I’m a tinted moisturizer fan), so I do love this stuff and how it applies. Color match is spot on, it has great coverage for the very little you use, and sits nicely on the skin.. again, unless my skin is dry. If I’m dry it looks horrible, so I wouldn’t recommend it for mature skin. As you age, your skin naturally becomes dryer + fine lines- not ideal. If I didn’t feel like I was getting duped with the amount of product given, I would honestly rate this 4/5 stars, even though it’s on the dryer side. The packaging truly sucks.

OH MY GOSH!! I am NOT by any means a person who writes very many reviews. However, I had to write one for this product because I am someone who is very particular about my makeup and my skin is super sensitive when it comes to acne breakouts. I also have really oily skin and so I’ve been looking for a long time for a foundation which wouldn’t make my skin breakout and wouldn’t be disco ball shiny from oily skin by noon. YOU GUYS! This foundation is perfect perfect perfect! It matches my skin tone perfectly! It is still slightly shiny by the end of the day but definitely better than any other product I’ve found. It looks completely airbrushed every single time. It’s super lightweight and doesn’t feel heavy on my face. It hasn’t made my face breakout like crazy which was so crucial to me and I’ve been wearing it every day. It looks super duper natural which is also really important to me because I don’t want to look like I’m wearing a huge layer of makeup. It’s very blendable and it also covers up redness and blemishes really well. I cannot recommend this enough!! If you’re doubtful, at least give it a try because it has genuinely changed the way I think about makeup!

The TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion is hands down one of the best cushion foundations I’ve tried. It provides excellent coverage while still looking natural and skin-like. It instantly evens out my complexion, covers redness and blemishes, and leaves a beautiful semi-matte finish. What really stands out is its long-lasting power. It stays in place for hours, even with a mask on, without caking or settling into fine lines. The formula feels lightweight and comfortable on the skin, making it perfect for all-day wear. I also love how smooth and flawless my skin looks after application — it almost feels like a filter in real life. If you’re looking for a cushion foundation that combines coverage, durability, and a polished finish, TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion is absolutely worth the hype. Highly recommended! ✨💄

I really enjoy the coverage and buildability of this product- and the shade inclusivity is impressive. I am pale, the lightest shades where i live are always too dark or orange on me- so i ordered the lightest shade they had here. It is so clearly the wrong color for me! But- that is a great thing imo. Ive never EVER had a foundation be too light. There is a trial kit on the actual tirtir website that i recommend everyone try before buying from this listing. I have always used matte makeup so the texture and dewiness is strange to me- its a little moist for me but i didnt test it with a setting powder at all. The smell is really nice honestly, i just wish it was sold at 10$ all the time instead of 15. 15 feels a little expensive for the size of product, and its hard to tell how much of the makeup is on the applicator sponge for me. Its of course a little oily feeling because of the sunscreen formula- ive never tried a sunscreen that didnt leave a feeling of moist on my skin. Its not really sticky, or at least not as bad as others have mentioned. It looked OK on the giant pores i have on my nose but not amazing- also, again, i didnt have the right shade so that did not help. Overall great and im hoping they let me exchange for another color but im not sure what to get right now since the lightest shades of the tester pack are out of stock on tirtirs website
