I had never tried a compact-style foundation before but then I came across the Missha M Magic Cushion. I picked out the lightest shade they had, which was number 21 aka Light Beige. My beauty routine did a major upgrade and I’m ready to tell you guys all about it. It’s time for my Missha M Magic Cushion review on the shade Light Beige.
Classy White and Floral Scent
The Missha M Magic Cushion comes in a white-cream-colored compact. The compact has the gold Missha company name engraved into it, which I find super beautiful. The design is clean, simplistic, and classy. It represents the perfect style for adults, in my opinion.
This compact foundation has a slight scent, which is almost floral. I know that may pose an issue for anyone who is sensitive to Fragrance but in my case, I remained unaffected. The scent actually surprised me since I loved it so much.
Perfect Color Match
After checking to see the color of the Missha M Magic Cushion inside the compact I was shocked. The foundation seemed so much darker than it was supposed to be. I was scared but that fear faded as soon as I applied some to my hand. The ‘Light Beige’ matched me perfectly, to my surprise.
This shade has more of a yellow undertone, which is great for me since I have a pretty warm undertone. I really love the texture and how it sits on the skin, providing me with a smooth and easy application. The cushion makes it so easy to apply this foundation and a little goes a long way in this case.
However, the Missha Magic Cushion gives my skin a little bit of a grey-toned complexion. That is probably due to the SPF in this foundation. Since I am pale, it’s not too noticeable but it may pose an issue to people who are tan-skinned.
Full Coverage With a Smooth Finish
The Missha M Magic Cushion provides medium to full coverage, just as promised. The foundation successfully covers up all my blemishes and redness. It makes my skin feel soft and smooth after I’m done applying it. And while it is quite full coverage, it still remains natural on the skin.
My skin feels moisturized and this product does not dry out my skin. Thankfully it contains SPF so I don’t have to apply sunscreen beforehand. I never feel oily or get cakey when using this BB cream, which is a huge plus. Of course, this has always been the intent of a tinted moisturizer!
Perfect Summertime BB Cream
The Missha Magic Cushion is perfect for the summer since it’s easy to apply and is lightweight. It is very affordable and quite cheap in my opinion, which is always great. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a lightweight compact foundation that provides a natural finish.
This pigmented cream makes touch-ups super easy. Whenever my skin feels like it needs some refreshing, I just take out the cushion and apply some to my face. This means I always look my best, no matter where I am at.
