A far more natural-looking alternative to foundations, cushion foundations are much like compact powders in terms of packaging and application. Whatâs more, they often come infused with added skincare goodness too, which is not surprising considering that cushion compacts were birthed in the mecca of skincare. Thanks to its fuss-free, convenient nature, itâs no surprise then that cushion foundations are preferred by makeup users in Asian countries for day-to-day use. A case in point? Aprilskinâs Magic Snow Cushion, which has sold over three million units and counting! globally following its launch in 2015. Here are five reasons why you should jump on the bandwagon and try this cushion foundation thatâs loved by makeup wearers from around the world. In This Article Aprilskin Magic Snow Cushion review What's special about itAprilskin Magic Snow Cushion Where to buy + priceAprilskin Magic Snow Cushion review Whatâs special about it Stays put without the need for primer Photo by Daily Vanity The Aprilskin Magic Snow Cushion hardly budges once applied onto the skin, thanks to a 3-Step Smooth Fill System. But with this technology, it will stay put even if you donât use any makeup primer beforehand! Thatâs because it starts by filling pores with high-molecular polymer to first create a smooth base before covering blemishes in a velvety finish with Micro Multi-Powder. Then, it finishes with Flexible Film Former which leaves a light coating over the skin to retain moisture and create that long-lasting coverage that lasts up to 24 hours. Offers good coverage of pores, blemishes, and redness without concealer Photo by Daily Vanity Although providing fuller coverage that lasts longer, the stereotypical liquid foundation can sometimes weigh on your skin and clog pores, eventually creating other skin problems like acne and blemishes when the sole purpose of the makeup product is to cover them up. To save yourself from these skin woes, cushion foundation is the way to go â and Aprilskinâs Magic Snow Cushion offers sufficient coverage to give you the natural, your skin-but-better look. The best part? A little goes a long way for the cushion compact, so you only need very little to get flawless coverage on your skin, regardless of the skin concerns you may have. A close-up comparison of the left side of my face before and after using Aprilskin Magic Snow Cushion If you wish to cover up dark undereye circles like me, youâll be happy to know that the Magic Snow Cushion is the right cushion compact to get the job done! All I need to do is gently tap on the buildable formula a few more times just under the peepers to give me slightly more coverage and itâll instantly mask the telltale sign of insufficient sleep â no concealer required. And when itâs capable of concealing dark eye circles, you know that you can count on the cushion to expertly hide any other skin blemishes like acne scars and make them look less obvious without making you look like youâve just piled on a ton of makeup â isnât that what we all look for in a makeup foundation product? Provides lasting smoothness all day without the need for touch-ups Photo by Daily Vanity As mentioned earlier, Aprilskin Magic Snow Cushion is equipped with a unique 3-Step Smooth Fill System that offers you long-lasting smoothness â a pat here, a pat there is all you need to complete your base makeup and conceal blemishes. This ease of application is especially ideal for us busy urbanites who are frequently rushing from one place to another and doing our makeup on the go to save time â no need to get your fingers dirty or fuss around with your bottled foundation in one hand and a foundation brush on the other. Photo by Daily Vanity Because of this technology, you can pretty much skip any touch-ups during the day too even if you spend time outside under the sweltering tropical heat as the formula remains natural-looking and in place through perspiration. Mine stayed put through a two-hour-long brunch and a full afternoon out in the sun â and rain! â at Little India. While my makeup didnât look as fresh and flawless as when Iâd just applied it which is to be expected, it hadnât completely disappeared from my face either and it still kept my skin imperfections covered really well despite the rain and sweat. Whatâs even better, the mochi ushion applicator is specially made in such a way that it deposits all the foundation that it picks up entirely onto your skin to prevent wastage so you wonât get any of the unsightly leftovers that youâll usually see on other applicators. A cushion foundation that doesnât budge or require much of a touch-up throughout the day â whatâs not to love? Hydrates the skin Photo by Daily Vanity Another reason why the Magic Snow Cushion gets extra brownie points from us? The cushion foundation is more than its promise of 24-hour skin smoothness, it is also formulated with a 45% moisturising serum formula that contains blueberry and aloe vera leaf extracts to comfortably hydrate skin without any sticky afterfeel. As a moderate makeup user who wears foundation sparingly, I especially appreciate this additional skincare benefit given that most foundation formulas Iâve tried either give too heavy a coverage which is not what Iâm after or can be drying to the skin after full-day wear yikes!. With this lightweight and hydrating cushion, it felt almost next to nothing on my skin from start to finish â as if I wasnât wearing any makeup at all. Suitable for all skin types Photo by Daily Vanity Thanks to its hydrating formula that offers a smooth, velvety base, Aprilskin Magic Snow Cushion is made to suit all skin types â combination skin included. Makeup users with oily skin will not have to worry about excess sebum ruining their makeup because the cushion compact has the ability to stick well on the skin. On other hand, those with dry skin will appreciate just how hydrating this cushion foundation feels on their skin. Whatâs even better is the mochi cushion application, which feels so soft on the skin and works for all skin types, is also antibacterial to maintain hygienic use each time so those with oily skin thatâs prone to breakouts will certainly appreciate the Magic Snow Cushion! And if you have combination skin like me, the Magic Snow Cushion is quite literally a godsend because it works so well at providing coverage for your oily T-zone and blemishes while keeping your dry U-zone hydrated even if you wear it all day.

Anyone still here for Day 6 of Cushion Foundation Week 2 The K-Beauty Edition? Letâs hear you! Oh yes, we have T-1 more to go before weâre done! Go here to see whatâs been featured so far. Naturally, I will not have ALL the brands in the market for this head to head comparisons â Korean brands arenât all that generous at providing samples, unlike the Western brands I worked with before this â but I have enough to take you through 7 yes, count that SEVEN days of Cushion Foundations. This time, we will have a whole WEEK of cushions and then on Day 8 if I have not yet collapsed from exhaustion, Iâll give you a round up, and on Day 9 Yes, Iâve thought this through Iâll do you a quick comparison of Korean vs Western brand cushions based on what Iâve tested so far. Whew! Thereâs a lot to get through so, fasten your seatbelts, here we go! When I did my first round of Cushion Foundation Week, I was told by so many people that I had to a please try all the Korean cushions what? sponsor me? đ and b please try this April Skin Magic Snow Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ because this one was THE BEST IN THE MARKET! I raised a sceptical brow. You know me right? I couldnât resist the challenge đ But when momentum gathered for Cushion Foundation Week 2 the K-Beauty Edition, and I had a missing slot, I hunted around online for a site to buy this one to try, that wouldnât scalp me and that I didnât have to wait till I was 80 before it got here. Happily I found it on a local website Hermo and now I know what youâre wondering. Is this April Skin Magic Snow Cushion deserving of all the manic raves out there? Is this truly THE BEST CUSHION?! Now, I donât know anything about April Skin as a brand. All I know is that people rave about their cushion foundations, which come in different coloured cases to distinguish the different types available. I naturally had no idea which to pick, so I just took a wild stab in the dark â hur hur đ I picked the black case because it looked different from the rest of the white cases out there. It stood out. Oh, and apparently, April Skin cushions are so popular that there are fakes in the market. WHAT?! People are sick. So, buy from a trusted source, or as you will see below, perhaps you donât really need this one. Ooh, spoiler! LOL! đ The April Skin Magic Snow Cushion in the black case is supposed to offer high coverage, be moisturising, have high sunscreen protection and be comfortable to wear. Letâs see how it fares! Sunscreen protection SPF50+ PA+++ Iâm not sure why I kept this section in, because all Korean Cushion foundations come with high SPF rating. That said, if youâre using a cushion foundation in place of sunscreen, come, let me smack you đ However, what is good about cushion foundations, is their portability and lightweight texture, like this one, so you can use it as a touch up for your sunscreen through the day, or to touch up your makeup in the afternoons after itâs faded off a little. The lightweight texture feels comfortable, and the light-medium coverage means you can boost your base makeup, if you have to, for the evenings. As Iâve noted, many Korean brand cushion foundations use zinc oxide and titanium dioxide in their ingredients which are physical UV blockers. These are my preferred choice of UV protection and Iâm happy to see them in this one as well. However, due to the coverage of this particular cushion, I donât think youâd be touching up very much. The Packaging & Refills It bugs me, because the product is just 15g as with all Korean cushion foundations but you do not get refills with your purchase. All you get is a case with the refill clipped in. You can buy the refills separately, but again, due to the warning about fake products out there, be sure you buy from a trusted source. This reminds me of Innisfree who also doesnât sell their cushions with refills, and the perceived notion of affordability goes out the door. Once you add in the refill, it pretty much brings it to the price of a higher end cushion foundation. To be honest, Iâd much rather go there. The compact is well made and fairly sturdy, and based on the brands I have, no other refill fits. It has the donut ring type of case with a cover. While the black matte cover looks sleek, it is also a dirt magnet. Every smudge shows up, which, if you are OCD, will bug you like crazy! I just wipe it down occasionally, but I donât pick this up often ooh! 2nd spoiler! đ The Cushion Hmm⊠Ok, this isnât your traditional cushion foundation cushion sponge. The cushion itself does not come saturated to the surface, and when new, this is what you see. It reminds me a lot of the Bobbi Brown Cushion Foundation, and I have a sneaky feeling, BB might have drawn inspiration from this one. The surface of the cushion feels a little loose and puffy and looks a bit domed. April Skin says that this is because the foundation is sandwiched between 2 cushions in the compact. When you depress the sponge puff on the surface, you will see the foundation ooze through the top layer. Whether you like it depends on how much a stickler you are for things looking neat and tidy. I do find that the product is quite close to the surface so only very little pressure is needed to get the product through the very porous sponge and onto your puff. So be gentle, because you will find that you only need very little product. Also worth noting is that because the sponge is a little domed, you will find product transfer onto the plastic cover. Not for fussy people. The Sponge Puff Again, this was a category I kept in from the previous Cushion Foundation Week series, and Iâm not sure why, because the Koreans know their sponge puff applicators! This April Skin one is no exception. I will tell you right here right now, that for best effect, ALWAYS USE THE SPONGE PUFF! The puff is a beige, and you can see at back how the cushion surface is now stained with the product, but only in places where I depress. Other parts remain white. The sponge itself feels a little soft, and I do find that it absorbs product a little more readily. There isnât that rubbery density on the surface that Iâd gotten used to with other brands. TO USE Slip your fingers through the loop it only accommodates 3 fingers for me so I find it a little small, dab the sponge on the surface of the cushion you can see this is just 1 dab and then dab it on your skin, in a press and roll motion. Press on skin, and roll it off. It helps the foundation adhere better to your skin. The texture of the April Skin Magic Snow Cushion is quite high coverage, so just 1 dab gets me very far in terms of coverage. However, I donât know about others, I find the coverage a little uneven. I attribute it to the sponge, which isnât as rubbery as I like. I swapped out a Laneige sponge and it actually applied better! Texture, Coverage & Finish What April Skin has going for them is high coverage. If you are used to cushion foundations or BB cushions call them what you will, theyâre the same thing to my mind being sheer and not doing much, then you will find that April Skin disproves that notion. In this black one anyway. I found that the coverage is very high. Higher in fact, than either Hera or Mamonde, with just 1 pat. However, because Iâd tried the other 2 first, I wasnât so enamoured with the high coverage of April Skin. If I hadnât experienced other high coverage cushions, I might have been more impressed. The difference between this and Hera or Mamonde is that I found I couldnât sheer this April Skin one out very much. No matter how I try, the coverage is very high. I definitely needed no concealer with this. But I did use some powder to set, as the texture felt a little tacky on skin. Let me show you the before-after pictures where I am wearing the April Skin Magic Snow Cushion in 21. The coverage is crazy right?! Super high, and this was a fairly light hand that I used. However, you may feel and you would be right to feel this that the shade looks a little off. This is because I noticed that the April Skin Magic Cover Cushion shade pulls with a pink base. Not a bad thing, because pink bases are usually more brightening, and they work for me. My visage does look brighter. But for the majority of people who wear warmer bases, this can make your skin look artificial and ashy. If you click back to the Mamonde Cover Powder Cushion review, just to see the coverage, you may appreciate the shade difference. However, you may also notice that the Mamonde has a more matte effect, while this April Skin cushion has a bit more glow to it. It doesnât look very shiny, but there is a bit more glow, which prevents this from looking cakey. I did find this to be long lasting, without turning oily or drying my skin, even after me being out in the heat and humidity for the most part of the day. If you want a high coverage cushion foundation with a brightening effect then this one would be one you might like. Shade selection Like most Korean-based brands, the shade selection is fairly poor at this point in time. There are 3 shades available 17, 21 and 23 for very light, light and light medium skintones. To be honest, I feel that it barely works for anyone with a medium skintone if 21 is anything to go by. It might look too light. Scent Yes, there is a floral scent that is quite strong and I donât like the scent because it smells a little musty to me. It doesnât linger on skin, but opening the compact wafts a strong sweet scent right in your face. If youâre sensitive to fragrance in skin products then be wary. Do I like this? Iâm on the fence with this one as well. I appreciate why many people love this. The coverage is nothing short of amazing for the convenience, and it lasts well on the skin. However, I donât like the way the cushion is constructed, nor the fact it does not come with a refill, which makes this pricier than usual. Also, it enjoys a cult status, that might explain the popularity. In terms of product performance however, I prefer Hera because it makes me look like my skin but better. This makes me look like I have foundation on, and doesnât allow my skin to show through, blemishes and all. It isnât as cakey as Mamonde but the shade selection is a little strange. So, Iâd say itâs a decent cushion foundation. But itâs not my No. 1 pick â sorry peeps! I know some of you love this one! IN A NUTSHELL The April Skin Magic Snow Cushion Mamonde Cover Powder Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ is very popular, and offers high coverage and skin brightening effects. The compact is well constructed, but the product does not come with a refill and that makes it a little pricier than Iâd expect for a product like this. The shade selection is very small, tending to the lighter end of the skintone spectrum, but the coverage is impressive. While Iâm not crazy about it as I do have my preferences in other brands I can understand the raves. I do feel however, that there are better products out there so the craze isnât quite justified. Just me! PROS Lightweight texture but can feel heavy if you pile it on skin, Brightens the skintone due to the pink tones that can look ashy on warm skintones, High coverage, Easy to use, Has a semi-matte finish on skin, Not drying nor oily, High sunscreen protection, Portable packaging CONS Scented, Some people may not like the sponge for application or hygiene purposes, I donât mind, Sponge feels a little small, Can look heavy on skin, No refills, Sponge does not apply product evenly on skin, Beware fakes online WHO WILL LIKE THIS Anyone who wants a higher coverage cushion foundation, Anyone who wants a high coverage cushion that offers skin brightening effects without too much of a dewy glow PRICE US$16-24 for a box containing 1 case & 1 refill. Refills are sold separately. I bought it at about RM89 and prices will vary depending on where you buy from as it is available on many different websites WHERE TO BUY Various websites or Korean sites if you know where to look If youâre interested in whatâs in there, hereâs the ingredient list Water, Phenoxyethanol, Cyclopentasiloxane, Titanium Dioxide, Aluminium Hydroxide CI77002, Triexthoxycaprylylsilane, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, C12-14 Alkyl Bezoate, PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Octocrylene, , Peg-10 Dimethicone, Zinc Oxide, Niacinamade, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Quarternium-18 Bentonite, Sodium Chloride, Butylene Glycol, Iron Oxides Ci 77492, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Chlorphenesin, Iron Oxides Ci 77491, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Perfume, Iron Oxides Ci 77499, Adenosine, Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract, Vaccinium Angustifolium Blueberry Fruit Extract, Phyllantus Amblica Fruit Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract I will note that many people are taken by the fact this product contains Niacinamade, which is an anti-aging ingredient. While I think itâs great, Iâll be honest and say that I donât think it makes that much of a difference to your skin. Look for it in your skincare, in makeup, itâs pretty much optional. Are you a fan of the April Skin Magic Snow Cushion? I know many of you are fans of this product so Iâm sorry to be that spoilsport who doesnât like it as much as I should. The primary reason is because I tested other products that offered good coverage, but look better on skin, and thatâs why I donât feel as sold on this as I should be. Itâs a decent product, that I donât deny. I just am not a fan but if you are, do let me know! đ Paris B More cushion foundations can be found in this category.MoisturizingFoundation SPF 45.
