Let’s face it: seeing your makeup fail to live up to its claims is disheartening, and finding the perfect foundation can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Not only is it exhausting, but it can be expensive.
Stay tuned as we dive deeper into the Tirtir brand, its cushion foundation makeup, and why it might be the missing piece in your makeup bag!
Tirtir’s Rise to Internet Stardom
Tirtir started in 2016 when K-beauty influencer Lee Yu-Bin decided to start her own beauty and skincare line. The brand, an acronym for “Trust + In + Radiance”, has gained significant popularity, particularly in Korea and Japan.
Their most well-known product is their Mask Fit Red Cushion — an Amazon #1 best seller in beauty. This was achieved by leveraging social media and influencer marketing to create buzz and reach a global audience. But the brand offers much more than foundation. It also offers skincare products like Tirtir toners, ampoules, and creams.
Cushion Foundation 101
Cushion foundation is nothing new in the K-beauty sphere. It first appeared in 2008 when the luxury beauty brand AmorePacific developed and launched it. Soon, it reached heightened popularity when it appeared in the popular K-drama ‘My Love From the Star’ in 2014.
So, what is cushion foundation? Today, it is mainstream in Asia thanks to its lightweight application and convenient packaging. This innovative cosmetic is housed in a compact case and features a sponge soaked in a liquid foundation. The design allows easy application with a puff applicator, making it a user-friendly option for achieving a natural, glowing complexion.
What Makes Tirtir’s Red Cushion Foundation so Popular?
So, what’s fueling the excitement around this cruelty-free cushion foundation? Let’s uncover why this standout product is a must-have in your makeup arsenal.
Compelling Aesthetics
By now, you’ve probably already spotted the striking scarlet packaging. This was done intentionally to catch the user’s eye, making it highly shareable, photo-worthy, and contributing to its viral appeal. The chic and sophisticated look of Tirtir’s products made them a favourite among those seeking style and substance.
Egg-Shaped Puff for Precise Application
Tirtir’s egg-shaped puff enhances the precision of makeup application, making it an essential tool for achieving a flawless look. Its unique shape allows the puff to fit snugly into the compact, enabling users to easily access every nook and cranny of their face, particularly around challenging areas like the nose, eyes, and mouth.
This ensures that makeup can be applied seamlessly, providing even coverage without leaving any harsh lines or uneven patches. This makes it easier to achieve that coveted, natural finish. Additionally, the puff is easy to clean, ensuring it remains hygienic for daily use.
Fantastic Key Ingredients
Infused with nourishing ingredients like hibiscus, propolis, and white water lily extracts, giving it an enchanting blend of powdery, woody and floral scents, Tirtir’s foundation beautifies and cares for your skin. These antioxidants help enhance skin elasticity and moisturise and protect your skin, contributing to that radiant, healthy glow associated with glass skin.
Plus, SPF 40 PA++ protection shields your skin from harmful UV rays, making it a practical, lightweight foundation for summer. This high level of sun protection is crucial for maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin and preventing premature ageing caused by harmful UV rays.
72-hour Endurance
Tirtir Mask Fit Red Cushion is renowned for its unbeatable 72-hour coverage, ensuring that your flawless look stays intact throughout the day. Its sweat-proof and transfer-proof formula means you can confidently go about your day without worrying about touch-ups.
With its ability to deliver a radiant finish while providing skincare benefits, this cushion foundation has become a favourite among beauty enthusiasts seeking the best lightweight foundation.
Range of Foundation Shades
Tirtir has made amazing strides in recent years, offering up to 30 shades to match a range of skin tones perfectly. While they currently have limited shades for darker skin tones, they plan on expanding the range to over 40 shades in the near future.
This cushion foundation’s buildable nature is particularly beneficial for shade matching. With a wide range of shades available, users can start with a lighter application to find their perfect match and then build up the coverage if needed. This flexibility ensures that the foundation blends into the skin, creating a flawless, natural-looking complexion.
Tip: The foundation oxidises, so get 1-2 shades lighter.
Best Natural Looking Foundation for Glass Skin
This cushion foundation’s unique formula effortlessly blurs imperfections and redness, creating an incredibly natural silky-smooth surface. It leaves your skin with a semi-matte, dewy finish, which enhances their complexion without making them feel heavy or cakey, making them perfect for everyday wear.
The buildable coverage foundation allows users to customise their look based on their preferences and skin concerns. The lightweight, creamy formula can be applied in sheer layers for a natural, radiant finish or built up for medium to full coverage, depending on the desired result.
How to Use this Dewy Foundation
| Using Tirtir’s Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation is a breeze, and it’s all about that fun, effortless application! Start by pressing the egg-shaped puff into the cushion to pick up a moderate amount of foundation. Remember, a little goes a long way. Now, gently pat the puff onto your face, beginning at the centre and blending outward in tapping motions. This technique helps you achieve that seamless, even coverage we all crave, especially around tricky areas like your nose, mouth, and eyes. Feel free to layer the foundation as needed to reach your desired level of coverage, and don’t hesitate to reapply throughout the day for touch-ups and to maintain that radiant, glass skin look. Just be sure to clean the puff regularly to keep it soft and fresh for your next application! |
