- Key Benefit: Transfer-resistant and lightweight feel
- Shade: #29N Natural Beige (for medium-tan skin, neutral undertones)

Quick Start (60-second routine) (get started fast)
- 1) AM Skincare: Cleanse, tone, and apply a light moisturiser.
- 2) Sunscreen: Apply your primary sunscreen and wait for it to set.
- 3) TIRTIR Cushion: Press the puff into the sponge and gently pat the product onto your face, starting from the center and blending outwards. Build coverage in thin layers where needed.
- 4) PM Removal: At night, use an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser (double cleansing) to remove the makeup and sunscreen thoroughly.
Note: Already own a similar foundation? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).
AM Routine Guide (how to apply) (step-by-step for best results)
For a flawless, long-lasting base:
- Cleanse: Start with a clean face.
- Hydrate: Apply your usual toner, serum, and a light moisturiser. Heavier creams may affect wear time.
- Sunscreen (Crucial): Apply a dedicated sunscreen (SPF 30+) as the cushion's SPF is supplementary. Wait 2-3 minutes for it to absorb fully. This is key to preventing pilling.
- Apply Cushion: Take a small amount on the puff and apply with a stamping or patting motion. This builds coverage more effectively than a swiping motion. Start thin and add layers only where needed (e.g., around the nose, on blemishes).
- (Optional) Set: For very oily skin or maximum longevity in high humidity, lightly dust a translucent powder over the T-zone.
PM Routine Guide (how to remove) (cleanse thoroughly)
Proper removal is essential to prevent clogged pores.
- Step 1 (Oil Cleanse): Massage an oil-based cleanser or cleansing balm onto your dry face for 60 seconds. This dissolves the foundation, sunscreen, and sebum.
- Step 2 (Water Cleanse): Add water to emulsify the oil cleanser, rinse, then follow up with a gentle water-based (gel or foam) cleanser to wash everything away.
- Step 3 (Skincare): Proceed with your regular evening skincare routine (toner, serum, moisturiser).
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (application tips)
- Amount: One gentle press into the cushion is enough for a light layer on half the face. A little goes a long way.
- Method: Use the included rubycell puff. Press it lightly onto the saturated sponge. Apply to your face using a patting or stamping motion. Do not drag or wipe, as this causes streaks and removes coverage.
- Buildable Coverage: For more coverage on specific areas (like PIH or redness), apply a second thin layer using the same patting motion.
- Makeup Tips (No Pilling): Ensure your moisturiser and sunscreen are fully absorbed before application. Waiting 1-2 minutes is key. If pilling occurs, you may be using too much skincare underneath or not waiting long enough. Applying over a silicone-based primer can also provide a smooth canvas.
- Puff Hygiene: Wash your puff at least once a week with a gentle soap or brush cleanser to prevent bacteria buildup. Let it air dry completely.
SPF Truth Box (Sunscreen Facts) (understanding the SPF rating)
- SPF Rating: SPF 40 PA++
- Filter Type: Combination (Physical/Mineral + Chemical)
- Active UV Filters: Titanium Dioxide, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Zinc Oxide.
- SPF Reality Check: The SPF in cushions is a great bonus and perfect for topping up protection during the day. However, you are unlikely to apply the thick, uniform layer (2mg/cm²) required to achieve the full SPF 40 rating on the label.
- Recommendation: Always use a dedicated, broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) as your primary sun protection in the morning. Use the cushion for its cosmetic coverage and as a way to add a layer of protection on top, especially when reapplying over makeup.
- Reapplication: To reapply, gently pat the cushion over your existing makeup, focusing on high points like the nose, cheeks, and forehead.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
-
Works Well With:
- Hydrating Toners & Essences: Create a smooth, plump base.
- Lightweight, Fast-Absorbing Moisturisers: Gel or lotion textures work best to avoid a greasy feel.
- Most Sunscreens: Allow your sunscreen to set for 2-3 minutes before application to prevent pilling.
- Setting Sprays: Can be used before or after application to grip makeup and enhance longevity.
-
Use Carefully With:
- Heavy/Rich Creams: Can make the cushion slip or break down faster, especially on oily skin.
- Facial Oils: Use sparingly and only on dry areas. Applying the cushion over an oily base may reduce its long-wear properties.
Skin Type Compatibility (is it for you?) (oily, dry, combo, sensitive)
- Oily Skin: Excellent. The semi-matte finish and sebum-controlling properties help manage shine throughout the day. Setting with powder is recommended for maximum oil control.
- Combination Skin: Very suitable. It balances well, providing a satin finish on drier areas without looking greasy on the T-zone.
- Normal Skin: A perfect match. Provides a healthy, skin-like finish that lasts.
- Dry Skin: Use with caution. While not overly matte, it can cling to dry patches if skin is not well-prepped. Ensure you use a good hydrating toner and moisturiser underneath.
- Acne-Prone Skin: Suitable, thanks to its high coverage that conceals blemishes and redness effectively without feeling thick. However, it is not formulated with acne-fighting ingredients. Thorough double cleansing at night is non-negotiable to prevent clogged pores.
- Sensitive Skin: Contains fragrance. A patch test is highly recommended.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps with) (uneven tone, redness, etc.)
- Uneven Skin Tone & Discoloration: The high, buildable coverage effectively evens out skin tone and conceals sun spots or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
- Redness & Rosacea: Excellent at neutralizing and covering facial redness for a calm, even complexion.
- Blemishes: Provides strong coverage for active breakouts without needing a separate concealer for minor spots.
- Visible Pores: The formula's powder components help to blur the appearance of pores for a smoother skin texture.
- Shine & Oiliness: Helps maintain a fresh, satin-matte finish, reducing the need for frequent touch-ups.

Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (Read First) (how to test safely)
- Who Should Use: Individuals with normal, combination, or oily skin looking for a long-wearing, high-coverage foundation.
-
Who Should Use With Caution:
- Very Dry Skin: May accentuate dry patches without proper skin prep.
- Highly Sensitive or Fragrance-Allergic Skin: Contains fragrance. Patch testing is essential.
- Fungal Acne-Prone Skin: Contains several ingredients (e.g., esters, polysorbates) that could potentially trigger Malassezia folliculitis. If you are prone to fungal acne, use with caution and monitor your skin.
- Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount of the cushion foundation to a discreet area, such as along your jawline or behind your ear. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of irritation, redness, or breakouts.
- If Irritation Occurs: Discontinue use immediately. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.
- For Teens: Suitable for teens who wear makeup. Always emphasize the importance of thorough removal at night to maintain clear skin.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (The Feel) (texture and finish)
- Texture: A lightweight, creamy liquid that applies smoothly and blends easily into the skin.
- Finish: Semi-matte or "satin" finish. It controls shine but leaves a healthy, skin-like radiance rather than a flat matte look.
- Scent: A light, fresh floral-powdery scent that dissipates shortly after application.
- pH: Not applicable for an anhydrous (low-water) formula like a cushion foundation.
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Not considered "FA-safe" due to the presence of ingredients like Ethylhexyl Palmitate and Isopropyl Myristate. Individual responses vary.
Troubleshooting Guide (Fix Common Issues) (quick solutions)
-
Issue: Looks cakey or heavy.
- Fix: You're likely using too much product. Use a very light hand and apply in thin, buildable layers only where needed. Use a damp makeup sponge to press over the surface and sheer it out.
-
Issue: Pilling or balling up on application.
- Fix: Wait longer between your skincare/sunscreen and cushion application (at least 2-3 minutes). The products underneath need time to absorb fully. Applying too much moisturiser can also cause this.
-
Issue: Clinging to dry patches.
- Fix: Exfoliate gently 1-2 times a week and ensure your skin is well-hydrated before application. Apply a hydrating primer or an extra layer of hydrating toner to dry areas first.
-
Issue: Shade looks slightly off (oxidizing).
- Fix: A small degree of oxidation (darkening slightly as it dries) can occur. Using a primer can create a barrier. Also, ensure the shade is a good match to begin with; test along the jawline in natural light.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (Local Advice) (humidity and sun)
- Humid Summer: This cushion excels in humidity. Its long-wear, transfer-resistant formula helps it stay put without feeling sticky. For very oily skin, a light dusting of translucent powder on the T-zone can lock it in for the entire day.
- Drier Winter/AC Environments: Your skin may need more hydration. Ensure you use a good moisturiser underneath to prevent the semi-matte finish from looking too dry. You might be able to skip setting powder during these months.
- Sun Exposure: The SPF 40 PA++ is a fantastic feature for incidental sun exposure and topping up. However, for prolonged outdoor activities, rely on a primary, water-resistant sunscreen underneath and reapply it every 2 hours.

Genuine Community Experiences (Real User Feedback) (what people are saying)
Note: This is aggregated sentiment and anecdotal evidence. Individual results will vary.
On Coverage & Finish: "The coverage is insane. One light layer covers all my redness and acne scars, but it doesn't look like a mask. It has this beautiful satin finish that makes my skin look so healthy." - Paraphrased from a YesStyle review (2024-03)
On Longevity: "I wore this for an 8-hour work day with a mask on and off, and I was shocked at how little transferred. It still looked good by the end of the day, just a bit of shine on my nose which is normal for me." - Amazon customer review (2024-05)
On Shade Range: "I'm so glad they made shade 29N. It's a decent match for my medium skin, which is hard to find in K-beauty. It might be a little light if you have a deeper tan, but it's one of the better options out there." - Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (thread 2024-02)
Fair Caveat: "If you have very dry skin, you absolutely must moisturize well before using this. I skipped my heavy cream one day and it did cling to some dry flakes around my nose. It's not a hydrating cushion, it's a long-wearing one." - Paraphrased from a YesStyle review (2023-12)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) (common questions)
-
Is this shade (29N) suitable for tan or deep skin tones?
#29N Natural Beige is one of the deepest shades offered by TIRTIR and is designed for medium to medium-tan skin with neutral undertones. It is a significant step in expanding K-beauty shades, but may still be too light for deeper tan or dark complexions. We recommend looking up online swatches on skin tones similar to yours before purchasing.
-
Does it cause breakouts?
While the formula is designed to be lightweight, it is not specifically non-comedogenic. The most important factor in preventing breakouts is thorough removal. Always double cleanse at the end of the day to ensure all makeup, sunscreen, and impurities are washed away.
-
How is this different from the other TIRTIR cushions (Pink, Black, Silver)?
The Red Cushion is known for its high coverage and long-lasting, semi-matte/satin finish. The Black cushion offers a thinner, more seamless matte finish. The Pink cushion provides a hydrating glow. The Silver cushion is the lightest in coverage with a dewy finish.
-
Can I use a brush or sponge instead of the puff?
You can, but the included rubycell puff is specifically designed to pick up and apply the product in thin, even layers without absorbing too much of it. A brush may give a more airbrushed finish, while a standard makeup sponge might soak up more product.
The Final Verdict (At-a-Glance) (summary)
- Best For: Normal, combination, and oily skin types looking for a reliable, high-coverage, and long-wearing foundation for daily use in a humid climate.
- Key Benefits: Excellent coverage for redness and blemishes, transfer-resistant satin finish, and built-in SPF 40 PA++ for supplementary protection.
- Keep in Mind: Contains fragrance, making a patch test necessary for sensitive skin. May be too drying for very dry skin types without proper skin prep. The shade range, while expanding, is still limited.
