TIRTIRMask Fit Red Cushion Foundation | Japan's No.1 Choice for Glass skin, Long-Lasting, Lightweight, Buildable Coverage, Semi-Matte (17C Porcelain, 0.63 Fl Oz (Pack of 1))

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 timesI'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 me25N Mocha (late May): less yellow/olive than 27N Camel, but also too light on me9-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 compact27C 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 weeks6-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 time30N 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!)

I originally bought the small size just to make sure I found the right shade match and to test it out. I loved it instantly. The coverage is awesome, while still managing to look natural and not cakey. I have mature skin(I am 59), and found it did not enhance fine lines at all. Best of all was the all day wear. It looked pretty much the same 10 hours later as it did freshly applied. It feels lightweight, and plays very well with my daytime skincare and sunscreen. A couple of influencers I follow said that the shades run pretty light. I would normally have chosen the lightest shade, but instead chose 15C, and it was a perfect match.A couple of things; If you tried the small size and found it was awkward to apply with the teeny sponge, the regular size is much easier! Also, don't use a lot at a time, or it will go cakey. Use the teeniest amount and build from there and it looks pretty flawless. Seriously, it really takes very little to do the job. I also found that after applying it with the sponge it came with, gently pressing it with my normal damp make-up sponge really gave it a nice finish. Not sure how this will do in the winter when my skin is much drier, but it will be my go-too in warm weather.

This product surprised me just because I’m picky with my foundation and most viral foundations I typically don’t like. This was quite beautiful on my skin super lightweight but great coverage its super long lasting and sweat resistant 1 day my ac broke and I was sweating so bad 6 hours later it still looked gorgeous. 4 stars instead of 5 for 3 reasons, 1 is that if you have big pores on your check or nose area this definitely needs a pore filling primer to look the best it can as it doesn’t really smooth them out like other foundations can. 2 is that I’ve seen so many reviews that it oxidizes and to go a shade lighter I typically wear shade 21n in most cushions but Im a bit more tan this summer and was planning to go 1 shade darker but even after supposed oxidation it was definitely too light for me midsummer but only barely so i reordered the shade I originally thought would work best and it’s perfect. “ also im typically pretty spot on for online shade matching myself” so it doesn’t really oxidize much to make a difference. 3 I honestly wish it came with a refill I hate that it doesn’t that’s probably the worst thing about this cushion by far lol. Oh and it smells like bubbles like the kind kids blow fo fun it doesn’t stink and not super strong and the scent goes away after application but thought I’d mention it if your sensitive to scents. Also does NOT break me out as I can with some other foundations.

I do not like foundation. I find it settles in creases and overall feels yuck. This is the opposite. It feels like mineral powder once dry. It is amazing the coverage you get. It is buildable. It’s a game changer for aging skin. Poreless would be another good way to describe the final product. It is truly all the hype and more. Seriously order it and you won’t regret it!

At first I was a little sceptical— hadn’t found a foundation that wouldn’t settle into wrinkles and accentuate them-or the pores. After moisturising I gave it a go— (soft beige). At first I thought I mismatched, and things didn’t look promising. But everything settled in beautifully— coverage was better than most. I felt daring so gave my face and chest another very light layer for even greater coverage (ugh those dang age spots!). I am more than pleased. And, it lasts! It says it will stay for a few days but as someone who does like to wash the face this wasn’t the draw. However I did test it without washing and you know what? I awoke in the morning looking better than I have in years (no ugly morning face lol). I highly recommend to young and old like me (turning 65 in a week!). Please don’t hesitate to give it a try— and remember a little goes a long way, so use a light layer and re-layer if you feel the need. Atop the foundation I used cream blush and highlighter just to keep that fresh dewy look—The only downside? I ordered it the first day for the full price —$35 and the next day it was $20– and wish I had known. Wish Amazon would honour crediting me the difference. I went ahead confidently though and ordered it at $20. Please make sure you are ordering the larger compact not the small sample size.

I have heard great things about Tirtir's Red Cushion foundation and wanted to try it. I had some hesitations since this is my first foundation and I don't know my shade but I've been really liking it so far. It's lightweight and doesn't feel sticky at all and a little truely goes a long way. It's been great at covering my redness and obscuring most of my acne (I'm prob not doing it right tbh) and it has a small scent but I don't really notice it. Definitely considering getting the full size one once I'm done with this one.

I will purchase more. I love this foundation and the shade is right for me. Full coverage and dewy finish. Long lasting as well

I am obsessed!My skin type is Oily-Normal and currently I have a really dry irritation area around my nose and mouth which is healing. And so I tried this out anyway to see how it would handle with dry skin.The dry areas, even the slightly dry areas that weren’t the irritated parts were very noticeable. So if you have dry skin or even a combination skin type with dry spots this foundation is definitely not for you!!The rest of my face that is currently at my normal skin type which is oily-normal it goes on super nicely and natural. People say they have issues with oxidation with this and it turning orange. But I have not experienced this at all. I am 17C Porcelain though. So I can’t say for other shades.I also am acne prone and have had no issues with this foundation clogging my pores! Also the fact it has SPF 40 built in is amazing! And it really doesn’t smudge!The coverage doesn’t fully hide my acne scars completely. But with some added concealer it’s gone completely. If you used more of the foundation it will cover everything completely but will not look natural at all.Through out the day my oily skin usually shows pretty quickly and need to use the oil absorbing wipes. But surprisingly this foundation didn’t have me having a shiny sweaty looking face. After about 6 hours I started to see my forehead was very slightly oily but not noticeable enough to use the wipes! Which is exciting!Hope this helps someone!
