Struggling to keep your makeup looking fresh and flawless in the heat? The MISSHA Magic Cushion Cover Lasting provides a high-coverage, semi-matte finish that helps control shine and stays put, all while delivering powerful SPF50+ PA+++ sun protection.
At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Finding a foundation that doesn't melt off by midday can feel like a constant battle. This cushion is designed for those who need reliable coverage that evens out skin tone, conceals blemishes, and lasts through heat and humidity without feeling heavy.
- Product Type: High-Coverage Cushion Foundation
- Finish: Semi-Matte / Satin
- Best For: Normal, Combination, and Oily Skin Types.
- Key Benefits: Long-lasting wear, high sun protection, evens skin tone and covers imperfections.
- Shade: #23 Natural Beige - Suitable for light to medium skin with neutral undertones.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Prep: After your morning skincare and primary sunscreen have fully absorbed.
- Apply [THIS CUSHION]: Gently press the puff into the cushion once. Pat evenly onto your face, starting from the center and blending outwards.
- Set (Optional): For extra longevity in high humidity, lightly dust a translucent powder (like INNISFREE No Sebum Mineral Powder) over your T-zone.
Note: Already own a foundation? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption (substitute, donβt stack).
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
For flawless application and maximum protection:
- Cleanser: Start with a clean face.
- Skincare: Apply your toner, serum, and a light moisturiser.
- Primary Sunscreen: Apply a dedicated sunscreen (two-finger rule) and wait 5-10 minutes for it to set. This is your main sun protection.
- [THIS PRODUCT]: Pat the cushion foundation on as your makeup base. The SPF in the cushion acts as a great top-up.
- Setting Powder (Optional): Lightly apply to control shine.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
Thoroughly removing long-wear makeup and SPF is crucial to prevent clogged pores.
- Oil Cleanser: Start with an oil-based cleanser (like Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil) on a dry face to dissolve the cushion foundation and sunscreen.
- Water-Based Cleanser: Follow up with a foaming cleanser (like ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Cleanser) to wash away any remaining residue.
- Skincare: Proceed with your regular PM toner, serums, and moisturiser.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
- Amount: A single, light press of the puff into the cushion is enough for one section of your face. A little goes a long way. Build coverage in thin layers only where needed.
- Method: Use a gentle patting or stamping motion. Avoid wiping or dragging the puff, as this can cause streaks and disturb the skincare underneath.
- Frequency: Use daily in the morning as your makeup step. Can be used for touch-ups throughout the day.
Makeup Tips (No Pilling):
- Wait: Allow your moisturiser and primary sunscreen to fully absorb for at least 5-10 minutes before applying the cushion. A tacky or wet base is the main cause of pilling.
- Pat, Don't Rub: The patting motion presses the product into the skin for a seamless, lasting finish.
- Less is More: Applying too much product at once can lead to a cakey look and increase the chance of pilling. Start with a small amount and build up.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate β 8+ weeks)
- Immediately: Skin tone appears more even, with blemishes, redness, and pores visibly concealed. The finish is a natural-looking semi-matte.
- Throughout the Day: Good oil control and lasting coverage, requiring minimal touch-ups even in humidity.
- 4-8+ Weeks: The high SPF and PA rating, when used consistently (including reapplication), helps protect against the formation of new sun spots and signs of photoaging. This is a protective benefit.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
- Why this, not that? Instead of relying on cushion SPF as your only sun protection, use a dedicated, lab-tested sunscreen first. The amount of product you apply with a cushion puff is not enough for full SPF50+ protection. Think of the cushion's SPF as a bonus and a great way to top up protection during the day.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: Hydrating or pore-blurring primers, setting powders, and most skincare textures that dry down completely.
- Use Carefully With: Very rich, oily moisturisers or facial oils applied right before. These can reduce the cushion's longevity and cause it to slide. Give them ample time to absorb or use them only at night.
- Avoid On: Skin that has not been cleansed or is still wet/tacky from previous skincare steps.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Normal to Oily Skin: Excellent. The semi-matte finish and lasting power help control shine throughout the day.
- Combination Skin: Very suitable. It effectively covers oilier T-zones without over-drying normal or dry cheek areas.
- Dry Skin: Can work, but requires thorough skin prep. Ensure you use a hydrating toner and a good moisturiser underneath to prevent the formula from clinging to dry patches.
- Acne-Prone Skin: Suitable, thanks to its high coverage. However, diligent double cleansing at night is essential to prevent clogged pores.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Uneven Skin Tone & Redness: Provides high coverage to instantly create a more uniform complexion.
- Blemishes & Imperfections: Effectively conceals spots and post-acne marks.
- Sun Protection: Offers high-level, broad-spectrum UV protection (SPF50+ PA+++) as a top-up to your primary sunscreen.
- Makeup Longevity: Formulated to resist sweat and sebum, making it ideal for long days in a warm climate.

Regulatory & Claims Basis (K-Beauty Truth Box) (official classification)
- MFDS Class: Functional Cosmetic for UV Protection, Brightening & Wrinkle Improvement.
-
Functional Ingredients:
- UV Protection: Titanium Dioxide, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate.
- Brightening: Niacinamide.
- Wrinkle Improvement: Adenosine.
- Brightening Nuance: "Brightening" in this context refers to improving skin radiance and helping to fade dark spots (like sun spots or post-acne marks) for a more even tone. It does not bleach or change your natural skin colour.
- Medical Disclaimer: This is a cosmetic product, not a medical treatment. For persistent skin conditions, please consult a dermatologist.
SPF Truth Box (filters, standards, reapply rules)
- SPF Rating: SPF 50+ (High UVB Protection)
- PA Rating: PA+++ (High UVA Protection)
-
Filter Type: Hybrid (Mineral + Chemical)
- Mineral Filters: Titanium Dioxide
- Chemical Filters: Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate
- SPF Reality Check: The SPF rating is achieved in lab tests with a thick application (2mg/cmΒ²). The thin layer applied via a cushion puff provides **significantly less** protection. Always use a dedicated sunscreen as your primary protection in the morning.
- Reapplication: This cushion is perfect for reapplying SPF over makeup during the day. Gently pat a thin layer over your face every 2-3 hours when exposed to the sun.
- Cast: Minimal to no white cast on most skin tones, but shade #23 itself provides a light-medium beige coverage.

Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues)
-
Problem: It looks cakey or patchy.
Solution: You may be using too much product or applying it on dry, unprepared skin. Exfoliate gently 1-2 times a week and apply a good moisturiser before the cushion. Use the puff to apply in very thin, patting layers. -
Problem: It doesn't last all day.
Solution: Ensure your skin is not too oily before application. Set your T-zone with a translucent powder. Also, avoid touching your face throughout the day. -
Problem: The shade looks grey or ashy.
Solution: Shade #23 has neutral undertones, which can sometimes appear greyish on very warm or olive skin tones. Allow it a few minutes to oxidize and adapt to your skin. If it remains ashy, the undertone may not be the right match.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
- Humid Summers: The "Cover Lasting" formula is excellent for our humid climate as it's designed to be sweat and sebum-resistant. For very oily skin, setting with a powder is highly recommended to maximise wear time.
- Drier "Winters": The formula is moisturising enough not to be overly drying. If you have dry skin, ensure you use a good hydrating cream underneath during cooler, less humid months.
- Indoors/AC: The hydrating ingredients help prevent the skin from feeling tight or dry in air-conditioned environments.

Value, Cost-per-Use & Reorder Cadence (how long it lasts)

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
- 1. Does this cushion replace my daily sunscreen?
- No. While it has a high SPF, the amount you apply with a puff is not enough for full protection. You should always wear a dedicated sunscreen underneath and use the cushion for coverage and as a convenient way to top up your SPF during the day.
- 2. What is the undertone of shade #23 Natural Beige?
- Shade #23 is typically a light-medium beige with neutral undertones. It can sometimes have a slightly greyish cast initially, which is common in Korean base makeup and helps to neutralize redness. It usually adapts to the skin's tone after a few minutes.
- 3. How do I clean the cushion puff?
- The best way is to use a double-cleansing method. Gently massage an oil cleanser into the dry puff to dissolve the makeup, add water to emulsify, and rinse. Follow with a gentle foam cleanser, squeeze out the water, and let it air dry completely before placing it back in the compact.
- 4. Is this product good for acne-prone skin?
- Its high coverage is excellent for concealing blemishes. However, because it's a long-wear formula, it is crucial to double cleanse thoroughly every evening to prevent clogged pores.
