At-a-Glance (30-second overview)
If you're looking for a foundation that gives your skin a healthy, dewy glow without feeling heavy, this cushion is a great starting point. It combines medium, buildable coverage with powerful SPF 50+ PA+++ sun protection, making it a practical choice for daily use. The mini size is perfect for trying out the shade or for touch-ups on the go.
SPF Truth Box (Sunscreen Facts)
- UV Filters: Titanium Dioxide (Mineral/Physical), Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (Octinoxate, Chemical/Organic), Ethylhexyl Salicylate (Octisalate, Chemical/Organic).
- Protection Level: SPF 50+ (high UVB protection) and PA+++ (very high UVA protection), as tested and regulated by the MFDS in Korea.
- Type: Hybrid (combines physical and chemical filters).
- SPF Reality Check: The protection level is achieved with a specific application dose (2mg/cm²). A typical cushion application is much lighter. For full protection, always apply a dedicated, broad-spectrum sunscreen as your primary AM step. Use this cushion for initial application and for convenient reapplication over makeup during the day.
- Cast & Finish: Designed to provide a luminous glow with minimal white cast on the intended skin tones. The 24N Latte shade is formulated for light-medium skin with neutral undertones.
- Reapplication: Pat gently over your existing makeup. The mini format makes it ideal for carrying with you for touch-ups every 2-3 hours, especially after sweating or being in direct sun.
Quick Start (60-second routine)
- Skincare Prep: Apply your usual moisturiser.
- Primary Sunscreen: Apply a dedicated sunscreen and wait 2-3 minutes for it to set.
- [THIS PRODUCT]: Press the puff lightly into the cushion and pat a thin, even layer onto your face.
Note: Already own a foundation? Use this as a convenient top-up for SPF and coverage throughout the day rather than stacking multiple base products.
AM Routine Guide (morning order)
This product is the final step of your morning skincare routine and the first step of your makeup.
- Minimalist Routine: 1) Cleanser → 2) Moisturiser → 3) Dedicated Sunscreen SPF 30+ → 4) TIRTIR Mask Fit Aura Cushion.
- Optional Additions: A primer can be used after sunscreen and before the cushion to control oil or add extra glow, but allow it to dry completely to prevent pilling. A setting powder can be used after the cushion to increase longevity in high humidity.
- Wait Times: Allow your primary sunscreen to set for at least 2 minutes before applying the cushion to ensure proper film formation and reduce pilling.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly)
- Amount: Press the included puff lightly onto the saturated sponge once or twice. A little goes a long way.
- Method: Using a gentle tapping or patting motion, apply the product to your face, starting from the center and blending outwards. Build coverage in thin layers only where needed (e.g., around the nose or on blemishes). Avoid swiping or dragging the puff, as this can cause streaks.
- Frequency: Use daily in the morning. Reapply as needed for touch-ups.
Makeup Tips (No Pilling):
- Ensure your moisturiser and sunscreen are fully absorbed before application.
- Use a patting motion, not a rubbing one.
- If you use a primer, choose a formula that is compatible with the cushion's dewy finish (e.g., a hydrating primer over a heavy, mattifying silicone one).
- To set in Mauritius's humidity, lightly dust a translucent powder over the T-zone after application.
What to Expect (Results Timeline)
- Immediately: Skin tone appears more even with a visible luminous glow. Redness and minor imperfections are concealed with medium coverage. Skin feels hydrated.
- After 4-6 hours: The glow should remain, with minimal oxidation (darkening). In high humidity, some shine may appear in the T-zone, which can be managed with blotting paper or a light powder touch-up. The brand claims 72-hour wear, but this is based on controlled lab conditions; expect more realistic wear time in real-world settings.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that)
- Why this, not DIY sunscreen? This cushion contains lab-tested, regulated SPF 50+ PA+++ filters that provide reliable broad-spectrum protection. DIY mixtures with coconut oil or zinc powder offer no measurable or stable protection and can leave your skin vulnerable to severe sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and premature aging.
- Why this, not just any foundation? While many foundations offer coverage, this cushion is specifically formulated with a high SPF rating, making it a functional cosmetic that actively helps protect your skin from UV rays, which are the primary cause of dark spots and wrinkles.
Compatibility Guide (layering)
- Works Well With: Hydrating toners, serums (like hyaluronic acid or niacinamide), and most moisturisers. Pairs well with hydrating primers and cream-based blushes or highlighters.
- Use Carefully With: Very rich, oily creams or heavy silicone-based primers, which can cause the cushion to slip or pill. If you use these, allow extra time (5-10 minutes) for them to set before applying the cushion.
- Avoid On: Do not apply directly over broken or irritated skin.
Skin Type Compatibility (find your fit)
- Normal to Dry Skin: Excellent. The hydrating formula and dewy finish will complement these skin types, providing a healthy glow without emphasizing dry patches.
- Combination Skin: Very good. You may need to set the T-zone with a translucent powder to control shine throughout the day, especially in summer.
- Oily Skin: Can work, but requires management. A mattifying primer beforehand and setting powder afterward are highly recommended to control excess sebum and extend wear time. The "Mask Fit Red Cushion" might be a better alternative for a semi-matte finish.
- Sensitive Skin: Contains fragrance. A patch test is strongly recommended.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps)
- Dullness & Lack of Radiance: The primary benefit is its ability to impart a luminous, glass-skin-like glow.
- Uneven Skin Tone & Redness: Provides buildable medium coverage to even out skin tone and conceal minor blemishes.
- Sun Protection: Offers high-level, broad-spectrum UV protection, crucial for preventing sun spots (hyperpigmentation) and premature aging in Mauritius.
- Dehydration: Contains ingredients that help keep the skin hydrated throughout the day.

Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (use it right)
- Who should use with caution? Those with very oily or acne-prone skin may need to take extra steps (primer, powder) to manage shine. Individuals with sensitivity to chemical sunscreens or fragrance should perform a patch test.
- Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount to a discreet area, like your jawline or behind your ear. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of irritation, redness, or itching. If a reaction occurs, discontinue use.
- Kids/Teens: This product is formulated for adults. For teens, focus on a foundational routine of cleanser, moisturiser, and a dedicated sunscreen. Light makeup like this can be used for occasions, but should be thoroughly removed.

- Scent: A light, fresh floral fragrance.
- pH: Not applicable for an anhydrous/emulsion formula like a cushion foundation.
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, which can potentially trigger fungal acne in highly susceptible individuals. If you are prone to FA, patch test carefully.
Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues)
- If it looks too dewy or oily: You may have used too much product or your skin is naturally oily. Apply a thinner layer and set your T-zone with a translucent powder.
- If it pills or separates: Your skincare underneath hasn't fully absorbed. Wait longer between your sunscreen and cushion application. Also ensure your primer and moisturiser are texturally compatible.
- If the coverage looks cakey: You are likely applying too much product or swiping instead of patting. Use the puff to press and roll for a seamless, thin layer.
- If the shade seems off: #24N Latte has a neutral undertone. If you have strong warm or cool undertones, it may not be a perfect match. Ensure you blend down to your neck.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local advice)
- Humid Summer: The dewy finish can feel heavy in peak humidity. It is essential to set this cushion with a fine, translucent powder, especially in the T-zone, to prevent it from sliding and to control shine. A setting spray can also help lock it in place.
- Drier Winter/AC Environments: The hydrating formula is perfect for these conditions. It will provide a healthy glow without clinging to dry patches that can be exacerbated by air conditioning.
- Storage: Keep the compact tightly closed to prevent the sponge from drying out. Store it away from direct sunlight and high heat, like a car's glove compartment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
Is this enough for sun protection on its own?
No. For full, reliable sun protection, you should always apply a separate, dedicated sunscreen as the last step of your skincare. Use the cushion for initial coverage and for convenient reapplication on top of makeup throughout the day.
-
Will the #24N Latte shade match me?
#24N Latte is designed for light to medium skin with neutral undertones, similar to shades like MAC NC20-25. If you have very warm or cool undertones, it may not be a perfect match. The mini size is a great way to test the shade before committing to the full size.
-
How is this different from the TIRTIR Red or Black cushion?
The Aura (Pink) cushion provides the most dewy, glowy finish. The Red cushion has a semi-matte finish, and the Black cushion has a matte finish with higher coverage. Choose based on your skin type and desired finish.
-
Is it non-comedogenic?
The term "non-comedogenic" is not regulated, and individual reactions vary. The formula is not oil-free. If you are prone to clogged pores, we recommend double cleansing thoroughly at the end of each day to ensure all makeup is removed.
The Final Verdict (At-a-Glance)
- Best For: Normal, dry, or combination skin types seeking a radiant, "glass skin" finish with convenient SPF protection.
- Key Benefits: Provides a beautiful luminous glow, offers buildable medium coverage, and contains high-level SPF 50+ PA+++.
- Keep in Mind: May be too dewy for very oily skin without proper priming and setting. Contains fragrance, so a patch test is recommended for sensitive skin.
