Last March my sister went to Korea for business trip & guess what? She bought of course Korean cosmetics / snacks / etc *.* [so happy]
I'm reviewing the IOPE Air Cushion XP in the shade of C23 [Cover Beige]. Also will be reviewing the Sephora Wonderful Cushion in the shade of 25 [Beige].
1st of all i just want to be honest that this shade didn't match my skin tone [because Korean always wanted that dewy / smooth / glowy / bright / healthy skin tone] but i still want to use it because it came with SPF 50+ / PA+++ [ i mean are you kidding me?! The SPF high enough to block the sun for me so why not?]
Now, shall we get started.. ?
Reveal of the IOPE ~.<

Review time !!!
Now, let's head to the picture taken by me ~.<
for my skin tone, i suited better with the sephora wonderful cushion [doesn't look "cakey"]
for the IOPE , it's coverage was good & if you're white enough then you can apply more
but my skin tone i have to slowly built it up so that it won't looked too much ~.<
somehow if you wish to have glowy / good skin condition then use IOPE :)
if want to have more tan color of skin tone the sephora suit me well :)
obviously C23 leave the glowy effect on :)
C23 better in coverage [the color of black liner faded], glowy effect, whitening effect
25 natural color which leaves the black liner look as it was but also "fixed" the color
so as you guys seen all the picture taken by me & i've tried and tested it on my skin [hand]
now , i'll be scoring both these cushion foundation ...
IOPE : 9 out of 10 [ the shade doesn't suit me , overall it does what it's said ]
SEPHORA : 8.5 out of 10 [ the case felt "cheap" cause the price is already for high end cosmetics, everything else i'm in <3 ! ]
p/s : sorry my skin condition not very good in the video so there will be zitS & i don't cover them -.-" hahahah! [bare face game strong!]
The usage on my face will be uploading in a video form which only consists of a minute + so no worries I won't take too much of your time but focus on my skin color that changes
Air cushion nor wonderful cushion or other name of cushion foundation were very famous these few days (well actually months / year)...
I was among the cushion foundation LOVER!!! Yes i loved them!
Actually they all have their good & bad (which I mean is the coverage level/and so...) and i targeted to buy the Laneige Limited Edition (Holiday-with red hearts cartoon on top of the case) but unfortunately I was "ngam ngam" not enough budget so I have to "LET IT GO" (well..I have yet buy it hahahaha) ;(
*fortunately
My sister went to Korea for business trip so i thought she would be able to shop you know Laneige Air Cushion but turns out she bought a brand also under Laneige (what she told me cause i did not do any research yet on this brand) which was the IOPE in the shade of C23 (known for better COVERage)Cushion foundation that provides powerful protection against UV rays and delivers complete coverage for natural, luminous complexion.
, well Sarawak (Malaysia) was rainforest state and we were having "SUMMER" all the time with HIGH QUANTITY of rain throughout the whole year (what am I talking about now? Alright let's get to the point!) Back to coverage thing & it does it's job well but not really well YA of course how can you expect the cushion to cover even your GIANT ZIT right? Thats what i'm talking about...!
As you all can see i did a BEFORE & AFTER using the IOPE Air Cushion & generally it does "faded" out my zit world! Hahahahaha! It also did give me a GLOWY effect as promised by IOPE.
For a cushion I will highly recommend to all but please not in these shade.. If I used too much I looked like a GHOST! You get my point? (Too white..For me la!)
NEXT...
For the wonderful cushion by SEPHORA COLLECTION I tried & tested, the result were satisfied but the cushion not for better coverage.
I was happy because the price not that expensive for a branded cushion, i mean among all cushion available on market actually this one will be the average price for cushion :) i bet so... it cost me RM 105 (direct from Sephora SG (Singapore) but order @ Sephora Malaysia)
It takes up to 5 - 10 days to reach your destination [but my parcel did happen to be "away" for a moment because the person whom I should be contacting had left her job @ sephora] so another worker replaced her and everything gone smooth and i decided to pick my own parcel @ the Aramex office.
FYI , the Sephora SG using the aramex as their worldwide delivery :)
Let me share some of the "ABOUT" for the Sephora Collection Wonderful Cushion :)
*The 1st mistake-proof foundation
