At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Finding a cushion foundation that delivers a lasting glow without feeling heavy or sticky in the heat can be a challenge. The TIRTIR Mask Fit Aura Cushion creates a radiant, "lit-from-within" finish that looks like healthy skin, not heavy makeup. Its lightweight formula provides buildable coverage to even out skin tone while feeling comfortable all day.
- Finish: Luminous & Radiant ("Aura" Glow)
- Coverage: Light to Medium (Buildable)
- Best For: Normal, Combination, and Dry Skin Types.
- Shade: 23N Sand is for light-to-medium skin with a neutral undertone.
- Format: A convenient mini 4.5g size, perfect for trying the formula, travel, or on-the-go touch-ups.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Prep: Start with a clean, moisturised face.
- Protect (AM): Apply your primary sunscreen (two-finger rule) and let it set for 1-2 minutes.
- Apply [THIS PRODUCT]: Press the puff into the cushion sponge and gently pat the product onto your face, building coverage where needed.
Mindful Note: If you already own a foundation you like, consider using it up first. This mini cushion is a great way to try a new formula without waste.
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
This cushion is the final step of your morning skincare and the first step of your makeup.
- Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
- Hydrate: Apply your usual toner, essence, or serum.
- Moisturise: Use a light moisturiser suitable for your skin type.
- Sunscreen (Crucial): Apply a dedicated broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Wait 1-2 minutes for it to absorb. Remember, the SPF in a cushion is for top-ups, not your main morning protection.
- Apply [THIS PRODUCT]: Pat the cushion foundation evenly over your face.
- (Optional) Set: If you have an oily T-zone, lightly dust a translucent powder over it to control shine throughout the day.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
Proper removal is key to preventing clogged pores, especially in a humid climate.
- Oil Cleanse: Start with a cleansing oil or balm on a dry face. Massage it in to dissolve the cushion foundation, sunscreen, and sebum.
- Water Cleanse: Add water to emulsify the oil, then rinse. Follow with a water-based foam or gel cleanser to wash away any remaining residue. This is the "double cleanse" method.
- Skincare Routine: Proceed with your regular evening toner, serums, and moisturiser.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
[Dosage & Application]
- Amount: Lightly press the included puff applicator into the cushion sponge once. This is enough for one section of the face (e.g., one cheek). Press again for more product.
- Method: Use a gentle stamping or patting motion to apply. Do not drag or swipe the puff, as this can cause streaks and remove product. Build coverage in thin layers only where needed.
- Frequency: Use daily in the morning as your makeup base and for touch-ups throughout the day.
[Makeup Tips (No Pilling or Caking)]
- Well-Prepped Skin is Key: Ensure your moisturiser and sunscreen are fully absorbed (wait 1-2 minutes) before applying the cushion. This is the #1 way to prevent pilling.
- For Dry Patches: Apply a hydrating primer or an extra layer of moisturiser on dry areas before application to prevent the cushion from clinging to flakes.
- For Oily Skin: A mattifying primer on the T-zone can help control shine. After applying the cushion, set oily areas with a fine translucent powder (like the Innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Powder) to increase longevity.
- Touch-Ups: Before reapplying, gently blot away any excess sweat or oil with a tissue. Then, lightly pat the cushion over areas that need refreshing.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediately: Skin tone appears more even, redness is reduced, and your complexion has a visible radiant glow. The finish feels lightweight and hydrating.
- Throughout the day: The formula is designed for long wear, but in Mauritius' humidity, you may need a touch-up after a few hours, especially on the T-zone. The glowy finish remains consistent.
- 4-8+ weeks: This is a cosmetic product, not a treatment. Consistent use provides a reliable makeup base, but skin improvement benefits will come from the skincare you use underneath. Consistent sunscreen use (aided by touch-ups with this cushion) will help prevent new sun spots over time.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
Why This, Not That...
- Instead of thick, heavy foundations that clog pores in the heat: Use this lightweight cushion. Its formula allows the skin to breathe, providing natural-looking coverage without feeling like a mask, which is better for preventing breakouts in a tropical climate.
- Instead of relying solely on your foundation for sun protection: Use this cushion for convenient SPF top-ups. The amount of cushion foundation applied is typically not enough for primary sun protection. Always start with a dedicated sunscreen in the morning.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: Most hydrating skincare (serums, gel-creams), silicone-based and water-based primers, and setting powders/sprays.
- Use Carefully With: Very rich, oily face creams or facial oils. If your base skincare is too heavy, the cushion may not adhere well and could slide around. Allow heavy creams to fully absorb before application.
- Where to Apply: Face and neck. Blend down to the jawline to ensure a seamless match.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Excellent for: Normal, Dry, Dehydrated, and Combination skin types who desire a dewy, luminous finish.
- Good for: Mature skin, as the hydrating formula does not settle into fine lines as much as matte foundations can.
- Use with caution: Very Oily skin types may find the glowy finish accentuates shine. It can still be used successfully if the T-zone is prepped with a mattifying primer and set with a good sebum-control powder.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
This product provides cosmetic coverage for:
- Dullness: Instantly imparts a bright, healthy-looking "aura" glow.
- Uneven Skin Tone: The buildable coverage helps to even out skin tone and conceal minor imperfections.
- Redness: Effectively neutralizes and covers mild to moderate facial redness.
- Sun Protection (Secondary): Provides a layer of UV protection, perfect for reapplying over makeup throughout the day.
Product Identity & Provenance (official details)
- Official Full Name: TIRTIR MASK FIT AURA CUSHION (Mini)
- Shade: 23N Sand
-
Understanding the Shade:

- Vegan Status: This product is not certified Vegan and may contain animal-derived ingredients.

Regulatory & Claims Basis (K-Beauty Truth Box) (official classification)
- MFDS (Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, South Korea) Class: Likely classified as a 'Functional Cosmetic' for UV Protection. While the exact SPF/PA rating for this mini version is not published, TIRTIR's full-size cushions are typically rated SPF 50+ PA++++.
- Efficacy Claims: Claims of long-lasting wear and a radiant finish are based on the brand's internal testing and formulation rationale. No independent, publicly available clinical data for this specific mini product has been provided by the brand.
This product is a cosmetic for external use and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
SPF Truth Box (filters, standards, reapply rules)
- UV Filters: The specific UV filters are not published by the brand for this mini version. K-beauty cushions typically use a combination of mineral (Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide) and/or modern chemical filters for broad-spectrum protection.
- SPF & PA Rating: Not officially published for this 4.5g mini size. Full-size TIRTIR cushions are generally rated at SPF 50+ PA++++.
- The Reality of Cushion SPF: The SPF in a cushion is excellent for touch-ups and adding extra protection during the day. It should not be your only source of sun protection in the morning. You would need to apply a very thick, cakey layer to achieve the labeled SPF rating, which is not practical.
-
How to Use for Sun Protection:
- In the morning, apply a dedicated sunscreen (using the "two-finger rule" for face and neck).
- Use the TIRTIR cushion as your makeup base.
- Reapply the cushion every 2-3 hours if you are in the sun, or after sweating, to maintain your sun protection throughout the day.
- White Cast: Formulated to have minimal to no white cast on the intended skin tone (23N).
Complete Ingredient Transparency (key actives + full INCI)
The full ingredient list (INCI) has not been published by the brand for this mini product. However, cushion foundations of this type typically contain the following key components:
- UV Filters (e.g., Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate): Provide broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays.
- Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that helps to brighten the skin, control sebum, and improve the skin barrier over time.
- Humectants (e.g., Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid, Butylene Glycol): Attract and hold moisture in the skin, giving the foundation its hydrating feel and dewy finish.
- Emollients (e.g., Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone): Create a smooth, silky texture that helps the product spread evenly and provides a soft finish.
- Botanical Extracts: K-beauty formulas often include various plant extracts for their soothing, antioxidant, or hydrating properties.
Allergens & Fragrance Disclosure (scent profile and potential irritants)
The full ingredient list is not publicly available, so a complete analysis of EU allergens is not possible. TIRTIR products often contain a light, fresh fragrance.
Without a complete INCI list, we cannot verify the absence of all potential allergens. We strongly advise performing a patch test before first use.
Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
Patch Test Recommended: Before using for the first time, we recommend a patch test to check for sensitivity.
- Apply a small amount of the cushion product to a clean patch of skin on your jawline or behind your ear.
- Wait for 24 hours. Monitor the area for any signs of redness, itching, burning, or rash.
- Re-check the area at 48 and 72 hours for any delayed reaction.
- If irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately.
Safety Precautions: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. Keep out of reach of children. For teens, focus on a core routine of cleanser, moisturiser, and a primary sunscreen; use makeup as an optional addition.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
- Texture: A lightweight, hydrating liquid with a silky feel.
- Finish: Luminous, dewy, and radiant. It provides a "glass skin" or "aura" effect.
- Scent: Expected to have a light, pleasant, fresh cosmetic scent. Intensity is typically low (1-2/5).
- pH: Not applicable for this type of formulation.
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia) & Comedogenicity: The full ingredient list is not available, so we cannot confirm if it is "FA-safe." As with any makeup product, individual responses vary. Proper double cleansing at the end of the day is crucial to prevent potential breakouts.
Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues)
- "My makeup is pilling or balling up." → This is usually caused by applying the cushion before your skincare (moisturiser/sunscreen) has fully absorbed. Wait 1-2 full minutes between your last skincare step and applying the cushion. Using too much moisturiser can also contribute.
- "The finish is too shiny/dewy for me." → Use a mattifying primer on your T-zone before application, and set the cushion with a light dusting of translucent powder. This will control the glow in oily areas while keeping a radiant finish elsewhere.
- "It looks cakey or settles into lines." → You may be applying too much product. Use the patting motion to build thin layers only where needed, instead of applying a thick layer all over. A hydrating mist before application can also help create a smoother canvas.
- "The shade seems to get darker during the day." → This is called oxidation. It can be minimized by using a good primer and setting your makeup with a light powder.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
- Humid Summers: The lightweight, breathable formula is well-suited for Mauritius' humidity. However, those with oily skin will likely need to set it with a powder to prevent excess shine and help it last longer through heat and sweat.
- Drier Winters/AC Environments: The hydrating, dewy finish is excellent for preventing the skin from looking dull or dry in air-conditioned offices or during the slightly cooler, drier winter months.
- On-the-Go Essential: The mini compact is perfect for carrying in your bag for quick touch-ups after being in the sun or sweating, helping you stay fresh and protected all day.
Storage Tip: Keep the cushion in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving it in a hot car, as extreme heat can affect the formula's stability and longevity.

Value, Cost-per-Use & Reorder Cadence (how long it lasts)
- Size: 4.5g (Mini/Trial Size)

The Adilsons Promise (our commitment to you)
At Adilsons, we are committed to providing you with authentic, high-quality K-beauty products and transparent information.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
1. How is the Aura cushion different from the TIRTIR Red or Black cushions?
The Aura cushion (this product) provides the most dewy, radiant finish. The Red cushion offers a semi-matte or "velvet" finish, while the Black cushion provides a long-wearing, full-coverage matte finish. Choose Aura for glow, Red for a natural look, and Black for maximum coverage and oil control.
2. Is shade 23N Sand right for me?
23N is one of the most common shades in K-beauty, suited for light-to-medium skin with a neutral (balanced) undertone. If you find most foundations look too yellow or too pink on you, a neutral shade is likely a good match. This mini size is the perfect way to test it.
3. Can I use this as my only sunscreen?
We strongly advise against it. To get the labeled SPF from a cushion, you'd need to apply a very thick layer. Use a dedicated, broad-spectrum sunscreen as the last step of your skincare in the morning, and use this cushion for initial coverage and for re-applying your sun protection throughout the day.
4. How do I clean the puff applicator?
You can wash the puff once a week. Use a gentle cleanser (like a face wash or a bit of oil cleanser) and lukewarm water. Squeeze the puff gently to work the cleanser in and rinse until the water runs clear. Squeeze out excess water and let it air dry completely before putting it back in the compact.
The Final Verdict (At-a-Glance) (summary of pros and cons)
- Best For: Individuals with normal, combination, or dry skin seeking a luminous, "glass skin" finish with lightweight, buildable coverage. It's also perfect for those who want a convenient, travel-friendly cushion for touch-ups.
- Key Benefits: Creates a beautiful radiant glow, feels hydrating and comfortable, and evens out skin tone without looking heavy.
- Keep in Mind: This is a mini 4.5g size and will not last as long as a full-size product. The radiant finish may be too dewy for very oily skin types without the use of a setting powder. The shade range is limited.
