Mask Fit Red Cushion

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!

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!)

I’m very impressed with this cushion foundation. It provides excellent coverage while still feeling lightweight and comfortable on the skin. The finish is a beautiful natural satin glow that looks smooth without appearing heavy or cakey. It blends easily, lasts for hours, and does a great job covering redness and imperfections. It also feels hydrating and doesn't settle into fine lines. Overall, it's a high-quality foundation with a flawless, skin-like finish. I would definitely recommend it and purchase it again.

This cushion foundation is soooo good !!! I’ve used a lot of different types of foundation from different brands, but once I found this , I dont think I will go to any other foundations. It gives your skin a glassy look, covers your pores without looking cakey, and is really good at hiding redness , I have rosacea and it really covered up my rosacea so well! A little goes a long way, get the sponge, apply just a little bit, fold it in halves to kind of “thin” out the foundation and gently dab on your face, if you make sure the application is thin, it prevents a cakey look and covers your pores and skin so well that it looks absolutely natural but provides really good coverage. And it is so affordable, i hope they keep the price like this because I am hooked for life !!

Okay y’all so I rarely leave reviews but I knew I had to leave one for this foundation after the last 2 days I’ve worn it. I work VERY long days (12-14hrs) and am outside in the Florida heat for about 70% of my work day. So I’m always sweating and I have very very oily skin. This foundation definitely doesn’t do anything to help my oils from coming through, which I don’t mind too much. I can use a primer and powder throughout the day, that doesn’t bother me. This foundation is absolutely gorgeous and skin like and it barely takes any product to get good coverage. I was influenced by people on social media to try it as I was in the market to buy a good work foundation when my tinted moisturizer ran out. I also wanted to try something different because it didn’t have the best longevity on my long and hot work days. So I decided to give this one a try. I’ve only worn it for 2 days so far, both at work, I’ve been walking nearly 20k steps and sweating in the Florida heat and sun and OMG when I tell you it still looks great at the end of a 14 hour work day, I’m serious! Only a little bit will be worn off around my nostrils, that’s it. It still looks beautiful and even. I rarely if ever find foundations that are super hyped up to even be worth it, but this one actually is. I never liked shape tape or the hourglass concealer or any of those other super hyped up complexion products. Anyway, even 2 of my coworkers noticed how great my skin looks and both said “you are glowing!! Are you pregnant?!” Lol! Another person told me I look like a porcelain doll! I think that’s proof that this looks absolutely incredible on my skin. I love it and I’m so glad I tried it! Update: I repurchased the danessa myricks blurring balm, which REALLY helps keep my oils out of control. I used it with this foundation and it keeps my oils under control with it. Before, I was getting extremely oiling throughout the day with this foundation, although it’s pretty normal for me, it did seem like my oils came through a liiiiitle bit more while wearing the Tir Tir. But I’m happy to say I found a solution & the magic combo. I only had to touch up maybe twice throughout the day when normally I’m touching up like minimum 10 times, not even exaggerating.

I never tried Tirtir brand and I got 21N (“n” means neutral) thinking it’s actually neutral and medium light. When it arrived the shade was much warmer (almost “orangy”) than expected and darker. My skin tone is classic ivory and I ordered other brands in similar shades and never had an issue. I have to mention that I’m a professional makeup artist and I never had a mismatch shade before. I would definitely say that Tirtir has its own color shade chart, so choose wisely. I’ll keep this shade but order another very light one to blend. Regarding the quality and texture- it’s really nice, seems like it covers great without being too thick. It’s buildable and has light luminosity which is great for mature skin as well. I’m giving 3 stars for consistency, texture and blending, but the color chart needs to be more precise. Photos attached.

I started using this Tirtir makeup earlier this year, and I have stopped using anything else. it applies very smoothly on the skin, and it doesn't cake or smear. Additionally, the skin color match is perfect! It is best to go to Ulta beauty first to find your shade, and then you can buy it online (Amazon.com). I dont need undereye concealer with this. you can build the coverage if needed and it is just wonderful. I will keep using this cushion foundation as long as I can.

リピート、これ一択！

Ho provato il celebre TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion nella tonalità 21N Ivory e ne sono entusiasta. Coprenza: Incredibile, uniforma l'incarnato con pochissimo prodotto e nasconde ogni rossore. Finish: Effetto "pelle di porcellana", luminoso ma no-transfer. Resiste tutto il giorno senza lucidarsi. Tonalità: Il 21N è un avorio neutro molto naturale. Praticità: Il packaging con specchio e spugnetta è comodissimo per i ritocchi fuori casa. Consiglio: Appena steso può sembrare chiaro, ma dopo pochi minuti si fonde perfettamente con l'incarnato (leggera ossidazione). Super consigliato per chi cerca una base a lunga durata!

This is deffo porcelan face wow it is so beautiful, perfect no imperfections it blends in easy and this comes feom someone who has no idea how to apply make-up but this foundation makes it so easy. I have bought this several times already so if you wanta flawless foundations this is the one

Es hält man braucht nicht viel hält den ganzen Tag

I honestly think this has to be the best foundation ever. I have spent so much money on foundations. I have oily/combo skin and I like a full coverage foundation that is long wearing and lightweight. I have an issue with most foundations that aren’t matte that they basically slide off my face by midday and I’m an oily mess with patchy makeup. For years, I’ve been using Too Faced Born This Way 24hour matte foundation which is really matte. I’ve been on the hunt for something a bit more lightweight that would work better on my textured skin. As I’ve aged (39) matte foundations have started to accentuate my fine lines and pores and I’ve wanted to find something that looks a bit more natural. Enter Tir Tir cushion foundation. I am honestly blown away by how beautiful this foundation makes my skin look. It blurs pores, doesn’t settle into fine lines, it’s lightweight and lasts forever. It’s so convenient for travel. You can wear it without a setting powder if you want a nice glow or lightly powder for a more matte finish. This foundation also works so well as an undereye concealer. I have troubles finding a good concealer because I have genetically dark under eye circles and I also have fine lines that make most concealers crease. I was using Tarte Shape Tape which has amazing coverage but I was finding it made my under eyes look dry and the formula can be hard to work with because it dries so quickly. Well this Tir Tir foundation works SO well as a concealer. I’m so impressed. This foundation is amazing and it’s going to save me both time and money as well. Absolute Holy Grail foundation. No joke. Give this foundation a try. UPDATE: I had a previous update here where I took a star off because the foundation dried very quickly in the compact but it seems this was only specific to that one compact so it must’ve not been sealed properly. I have not had that issue since so I’m returning my review to a full 5 stars.
