However, I still need to look presentable to the public, which is why I’m always looking for ways to make my mornings more hassle-free. One way to do so is simplifying my makeup routine and this is where cushion foundations come in.

There’s just something so practical and handy about them, considering they eliminate the need for brushes and having to blend your foundation for god knows how long. Plus, they’re eco-friendly with their refillable packaging.

If you’re looking for the best K-beauty cushion foundations in the market, I got you. These products in this list have not only won numerous awards but also the hearts of Koreans themselves, from K-pop idols and celebrities to influencers.

1. TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation

Of course, we gotta start this list with the current talk of the town — TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation. I can bet that you’ve seen them all throughout TikTok, especially from Western influencers like @missdarcei and @mikaylanogueira who’ve raved about the brand.

At a time when people were side-eyeing the shade ranges (or lack thereof) of K-beauty cushion foundations, TIRTIR came through with their Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation. This product boasts one of the most extensive shade ranges ever of its kind, with over 30 shades to choose from.

Performance-wise, it impresses with its longevity, being able to provide a semi-matte finish for more than 12 hours. You’ll find that it’s also smudge and sweat-proof.

2. LANEIGE Neo Cushion

An institution in the K-beauty scene, LANEIGE is a brand that needs no introduction. Be it their Water Sleeping Mask, Cream Skin Refiner or Lip Sleeping Mask, many of their products are well-loved by beauty lovers not just in Singapore but around the world as well.

When it comes to their makeup department, the LANEIGE Neo Cushion takes the top spot, having been promoted by the k-pop boy group, Seventeen, and used by actress Kim Yoo-jung in the K-drama, My Demon.

Two versions are available: Glow (Pink) and Matte (Blue). For folks with dry skin, go for the former, which is infused with diamond powder to provide a glowy (no pun intended) and dewy skin finish. Alternatively, those with oily skin, can trust the latter to keep their skin shine-free all day.

3. AMUSE Dew Power Vegan Cushion

We can always trust our RED girlies to have our back. They introduced us to the AMUSE Dew Power Vegan Cushion, and now we understand why it went viral on the Chinese social media app. 

Its constant sell-out status in Olive Young stores in Korea (the fact that IVE’s Won-young uses this plays a part) is proof that it’s a cult favourite among locals too.

This vegan and cruelty-free cushion foundation has built-in SPF50+, which is uber important because no one wants wrinkly skin from sun damage! In fact, it doubles down on sun protection by being formulated with mentha aquatica extract, providing a cooling sensation when applied and minimising enlarged pores on the skin.

4. Rom&nd Bare Water Cushion

Here’s something for the sensitive skin gals and those looking to create that “clean girl” makeup look. The Rom&nd Bare Water Cushion, as its name suggests, contains largely water to instantaneously boost up your skin’s hydration level and calm irritation. 

It’s also lightweight, to the point that you might not feel the makeup on your face.

Do note that the coverage is extremely sheer, so I recommend pairing it with a concealer to cover up any blemishes or discolouration.

5. CLIO Kill Cover Mesh Glow Cushion

Meet the product that brought mesh-type cushion foundation to fame — CLIO Kill Cover Mesh Glow Cushion. What’s special about mesh-type cushion foundations is that their packaging allows the same amount of product to be delivered during each application, ensuring a thin and even coating at all times.

If you typically find yourself getting frustrated with how much or how little product you dispense from the sponge, you can save yourself the headache by getting such k-beauty cushion foundations.

The CLIO Kill Cover Mesh Glow Cushion is made with eight kinds of hyaluronic acids, promising to keep the skin well-hydrated while providing a glass skin glow. It has a medium coverage but since it’s so breathable, it can be built up without feeling too heavy or sticky.

6. UNLEASHIA Satin Wear Healthy-Green Cushion

Cushion foundations have always gotten a bad reputation for being unhygienic. Since the cushion puff is dipped directly into the sponge before being applied to your face, it is literally a magnet for bacteria (no joke).

Well, UNLEASHIA had heard all of these complaints and decided to take matters into their own hands. Their Satin Wear Healthy-Green Cushion arguably has one of the most innovative types of packaging that minimises cross-contamination. All you have to do is press the button on the side and this pumps up product from the micro holes.

In terms of formulation, the product is a blend of makeup and skincare. While it provides a semi-matte satin coverage, it also gives your skin some love with anti-ageing ingredients, such as bakuchiol and papaya fruit extract.

7. HERA Black Cushion

If you want to go boujee with your cushion foundation, the HERA Black Cushion may just be what you’re looking for. Popularised by none other than Miss Jennie Kim from BLACKPINK, the cushion foundation comes in a luxurious all-black packaging perfect for touch-ups on the go.

It’s labelled as a matte foundation, which is great for those with oily skin, but it still gives a nice soft satin glow that highlights the high points of your face. As it provides full coverage, this product is better for those full glam days.

It also doesn’t oxidise, so don’t worry about looking like an oompa loompa at the end of the day.

8. JUNGSAEMMOOL Essential Skin Nuder Longwear Cushion

Considering that ​​Jung Saem Mool is one of Korea’s top celebrity makeup artists, I’ll safely bet that her products are celebrity-approved as well. She recently opened a physical store in Orchard, making it convenient for us to access her cosmetics (though it’s not so great for our wallets).

One thing you should know about the JUNGSAEMMOOL Essential Skin Nuder Longwear Cushion is its coverage, which can even double up as a concealer. That’s how pigmented it is. What’s more, it can last up to more than 10 hours in our humidity, based on online reviews.
