Achieve a flawless, semi-matte complexion that lasts through Mauritius's heat and humidity. This cult-favourite cushion foundation delivers impeccable coverage, blurring blemishes and pores while providing powerful SPF50+ PA+++ sun protection. Infused with skin-loving botanical extracts, it helps control excess oil and keeps your skin feeling fresh and comfortable all day long.
At-a-Glance (Who it's for) (and what to expect)
Struggling to find a foundation that offers great coverage without feeling heavy in our tropical climate? This cushion is your solution.
- Who it's for: Ideal for individuals with Normal, Combination, and Oily skin types who want to cover blemishes, redness, and uneven skin tone.
- What to expect: A lightweight liquid that provides high, buildable coverage with a smooth, semi-matte finish that resists sweat and sebum.
- Shade: #21 Light Beige is best suited for fair to light skin tones with neutral undertones (approximately Fitzpatrick II-III).
Quick Start (60-second routine) (for a flawless morning)
- Prep: After your morning cleanser and moisturiser, apply a dedicated sunscreen for primary protection.
- Apply: Gently press the included puff into the cushion sponge, pick up a small amount of product, and pat evenly onto your face, starting from the center and blending outwards.
- Build: Add a second thin layer only on areas needing more coverage.
Mindful Tip: The SPF in this cushion is perfect for touch-ups during the day, but for your initial morning application, a separate, full-dose sunscreen is essential for complete protection.
How to Use (Application & tips) (amount, frequency, and technique)
- Amount: One light press into the cushion is usually enough for half of your face. A little goes a long way.
- Method: Use a patting and pressing motion with the puff, not a wiping or rubbing one. This builds coverage seamlessly and helps the product adhere to the skin for longer wear.
- Frequency: Apply in the morning as your makeup base. Re-apply a thin layer every 2-3 hours if you are in direct sun to top up your sun protection.
- Puff Hygiene: Wash your cushion puff at least once a week with a gentle soap or cleanser and let it air dry completely to prevent bacteria buildup.
Makeup Tips (Get the perfect finish) (and avoid common issues)
- To Avoid Cakiness: Start with a very thin layer. You can always add more where needed (like on blemishes or red areas), but it's harder to take away.
- For Dry Patches: If the semi-matte finish clings to dry areas, make sure to exfoliate gently the night before and apply a hydrating moisturiser or primer 5-10 minutes before the cushion.
- Under-Eye Area: Use the edge of the puff or your finger to lightly press a very small amount under the eyes. Avoid applying a thick layer, as it can settle into fine lines.
- Natural Finish Hack: After applying, spritz your face with a hydrating mist to meld the foundation with your skin for a less "made-up" look.
What to Expect (Results timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediately: Blemishes, pores, and redness are visibly covered. Skin tone appears more even with a smooth, semi-matte finish.
- Throughout the Day: The "Magic Fit Powder" helps the formula adhere to the skin, controlling shine and reducing the need for frequent touch-ups, even in humid weather.
- 4-8+ Weeks: With consistent daily use, the skincare ingredients within the formula, such as Niacinamide and Adenosine, may offer subtle, cumulative benefits. You might notice a brighter overall complexion and a slight improvement in the appearance of fine lines, supported by the daily sun protection.
Compatibility Guide (Layering) (what to pair it with)
- ✅ Works Well With: This cushion layers beautifully over most water-based serums, gel moisturisers, and sunscreens. Letting each skincare step fully absorb for 1-2 minutes before application is key to a smooth finish.
- ⚠️ Use Carefully With: Very rich, oily creams or facial oils. If your morning skincare is very emollient, the cushion may not adhere as well and could slide or separate during the day. If you must use a facial oil, use only 1-2 drops and press it in well, allowing at least 10 minutes before applying the cushion.
Skin Type Compatibility (Best fits and cautions) (for our local climate)
- 🟢 Excellent for: Oily and Combination Skin. The semi-matte finish and sebum-controlling properties are perfect for managing shine in Mauritius's humidity.
- 🟡 Good for: Normal Skin. Provides a flawless, natural-looking finish that isn't too drying or too dewy.
- 🟠 Use with Caution on: Dry Skin. The formula can cling to dry patches or flakes. To make it work, ensure your skin is well-exfoliated and prepped with a rich, hydrating moisturiser.
- 🔴 Patch Test Recommended for: Sensitive or Acne-Prone Skin. While it covers blemishes well, it contains fragrance and chemical sunscreen filters that could be a trigger for very reactive skin. A patch test on the jawline is advised.
Targeted Concerns (What it helps to solve) (the primary benefits)
This multi-functional cushion is designed to address several concerns at once:
- Uneven Skin Tone & Blemishes: Provides high, buildable coverage to instantly conceal dark spots, post-acne marks, and active breakouts.
- Redness: Effectively neutralises and covers diffuse redness, creating a calm and even canvas.
- Sun Protection: Offers high-level, broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, crucial for preventing photoaging and hyperpigmentation in our sunny climate.
- Excess Oil & Shine: The semi-matte formula helps absorb sebum and maintain a fresh look throughout the day.

Regulatory & Claims Basis (K-Beauty Truth Box) (official classification)
In South Korea, this product is classified as a 'Functional Cosmetic' by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) in three categories:
- UV Protection: Contains approved sunscreen filters (Titanium Dioxide, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate) to provide SPF50+ PA+++ protection.
- Brightening: Contains Niacinamide, an MFDS-approved ingredient for helping to even out skin tone.
- Wrinkle-Improvement: Contains Adenosine, an MFDS-approved ingredient for helping to improve the appearance of fine lines.
Note: "Brightening" in K-beauty refers to improving skin radiance and fading dark spots or post-acne marks; it does not bleach or change your natural skin colour.
SPF Truth Box (Filters, standards, reapply rules) (your sun protection facts)
-
Filters: Hybrid
- Titanium Dioxide (Physical/Mineral)

- Protection Standard: SPF 50+ (high UVB protection) and PA+++ (high UVA protection), tested according to South Korean regulations.
- The Cushion SPF Reality Check: The official SPF rating is achieved by applying a very thick layer (2mg/cm²), which is much more than a typical makeup application. Therefore, you should always apply a dedicated, primary sunscreen underneath this cushion in the morning.
- Best Use Case: This cushion is perfect for SPF touch-ups throughout the day. It's an easy, convenient way to reapply sun protection over your makeup without disturbing it.
- Reapplication Rule: For continuous protection, pat on a light layer every 2-3 hours when in the sun, or after heavy sweating.

- General Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use immediately if a rash or irritation occurs, and consult a professional if symptoms persist.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (Local usage advice) (surviving the heat and humidity)
This cushion is an excellent match for our local climate.
- Humidity Performance: The "Cover Lasting" formula is specifically designed to adhere well to the skin and resist sweat and sebum, making it more durable in high humidity compared to dewier cushion formulas.
- Sun Protection: The high SPF50+ and PA+++ rating is not just a bonus—it's essential for providing robust protection against the strong Mauritian sun, helping to prevent tanning, sunburn, and the formation of dark spots.
- Feel: Its lightweight texture feels comfortable and less occlusive than heavy liquid foundations, which can feel suffocating in the heat. The semi-matte finish helps to control the inevitable shine that comes with our tropical weather.

Genuine Community Experiences (Unbiased, real-user feedback) (what people are saying)
Here's a balanced look at what real users are saying online (anecdotal, aggregated sentiment):
"The coverage is insane for a cushion... It covers my redness and acne scars with just one layer. It lasts pretty well through a humid day, maybe gets a little shiny on my nose after 6 hours but doesn't break apart."
— Paraphrased from a YesStyle review (2024)
"I have combo skin and this is my go-to for daily wear. It’s not too matte and not too dewy, just a perfect natural satin finish. Shade 21 is a good match for my fair neutral skin. The price is also great for the quality."
— Paraphrased from Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024)
Fair Caveat: "If you have dry skin, you really need to moisturize well before using this. I found it clung to my dry patches around my nose and chin. It's definitely better for someone with oily skin."
— Paraphrased from an Amazon customer review (2024)
About the Brand: MISSHA (Their philosophy) (the story behind the product)

- Gently massage the puff with a mild cleanser or a specialised puff cleaner under lukewarm water. Squeeze out the excess water and let it air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before using it again. We recommend cleaning it weekly.
