TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation is a hydrating cushion foundation designed to deliver sheer to full coverage with a natural, semi-matte finish. With long-lasting wear up to 72 hours in 40 shades. I personally love wearing cushions, skin tints, serums type of foundation that give a sheer coverage that allows me to to use a color corrector and concealer on targeted areas for even lay down and blend in well for a cohesive natural looking finish.
Korean foundations are practically in an elite league of their own. I have worn many different brands of cushion foundations from Korea and TIRTIR is definitely up there at the top of the list. This foundation combines makeup and skincare ingredients allowing a lightweight feel and breathable texture with flawless coverage. It contains SPF 40 PA++ and soothing ingredients that are perfect for those with sensitive skin prone to redness and blemishes. Key ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, botanical extracts

TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation is packaged in plastic oval compact case with mirror. Included is an oval puff and freshness seal that you peel off during your first use. The type of puff that comes with is specifically for cushion foundations since it does not absorb much product. I tend to buy a bag of unbranded puffs in the same material for easy disposal after each use since I do not want to contaminate the cushion foundation. Compact comes in full size is 0.63 oz & mini size 0.15 oz
TIRTIR’s website has an online shade finder to match your color and you can buy sample shade packets as well. With 40 available shades, that’s impressive for a Korean brand to have such a large range. I was matched with 22N Shell Beige which is perfect for me now but will need to go one to two shade levels up when I have a summer tan. One full tap into the sponge filled cushion with a slight tap on the backside of the flip lid to remove excess is enough to cover my whole face. A second light tap to go back on areas where I want to more coverage.
I avoid areas prone to creasing during the application and wait till the end to use whatever is left on the puff or on back of the flip lid to apply a thin layer. This method helps to reduce creasing and caking. I have normal to dry skin and minimal oily t-zone. This cushion foundation feels very lightweight and has great coverage leaving a satin natural matte finish that is skin like and fresh looking. It is definitely long-wearing, even after 12 hours I haven’t had to touch it up. Just minor oxidation on my skin which isn’t a big deal.
There is some minor transfer with this foundation. I use setting spray to keep it in place. If there is creasing, a few taps with a clean puff or finger tips and the foundation just melts back into the skin seamlessly. I almost never wear powder over this but if the satin finish is too much you can matte it down and it doesn’t disturb the foundation. I’ve had rain splatter all over my face and it still looked the same by the time I got into work. The coverage is impressive and the skincare ingredients helped my skin stay hydrated.
Overall, I am very happy with this cushion foundation and will use it on rotation with my skin tints and serum foundations. Good price point for being affordable. Travel friendly. Two size options. Shade range is good but could expand the deeper shades so more people can enjoy this amazing formula.
