So, let's instruct started, shall we?

You tin sack jump for joy that I don't ain whatever Whitening or Anti-Aging Laneige Cushion versions.
(But if whatever shop wants to ship me a refill for review purposes, I'll happily direct maintain it, hahahaha!)
I know this cushion is non for everyone. There are simply about less than flattering opinions on it out inwards the cyberspace.
Even for me, it took the estrus as well as humidity of Japanese summertime to fully appreciate this cushion's potential.
But kickoff things first.
What's a cushion foundation?
For the practise goodness of those readers, who are novel to cushion foundations - it's a type of base of operations makeup, where the liquid is housed inwards a foundation-saturated sponge, a.k.a. cushion.

Click on the tab "cushion foundations" to read almost other cushions inwards my ever expanding collection.
Laneige is a good known Korean skincare as well as makeup build hailing from Amore Pacific. Amore Pacific, despite its lightheaded name, is a disclose 1 cosmetic companionship inwards Korea.
Think of it every bit the L'Oreal of Korea. Just similar L'Oreal, Amore Pacific also holds a varied portfolio of brands - from cheap drugstore ones similar Etude House, to high halt fancy schmancy ones similar Sulwhasoo.

If yous alive inwards the US, yous tin sack purchase surely Laneige products at Target. If yous alive inwards Europe, yous tin sack purchase them online from Korea.
As amongst nearly all other cushions currently on the marketplace (nearly, because in that location are ever exceptions), Laneige BB Cushion Pore Control comes to us inwards a unproblematic box.
My versions came to me from Korea, hence they direct maintain Korean writing on them. I am entirely assuming that Singaporean as well as American versions direct maintain English linguistic communication text on them instead of hangul.
In the box (as yous tin sack run across inwards 1 of the photos above), nosotros instruct a cushion compact amongst a refill (15 gram) already loaded, a sealed refill package (15 gram) as well as a leaflet.
Let's run across what the leaflet for Laneige BB Cushion Pore Control has to say:
Wow! It promises quite a lot.
- Semi-matte finish?
- Long-lasting?
Eventually, through case as well as error, I noticed that it worked similar magic when paired amongst Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV sunblock/base. When applied on transcend of Canmake, the cushion would in conclusion as well as in conclusion as well as last.
- SPF50+PA+++?
- Cooling sensation?
- Pore coverage?
It's the semi-matte, non-dewy complete that is responsible for the illusion of perfect pore coverage.
- Pore Control?
Yes, it is non-greasy. That is definitely true.
It gives a beautiful powdery complete that I liked hence much that I didn't bother to laid amongst a powder. There was no need. My human face upwardly wasn't shiny or dewy. But at the same time, it was yet pretty glowing.
The cushion compact itself is pretty standard:
You can't tell what type of Laneige cushion it is from looking on the cover.
To banking concern check the details, yous demand to flip it over as well as hold off at the bottom:
And in that location yous also tin sack run across the appointment of manufacture.
As yous tin sack see, this compact is loaded amongst a Pore Control No fourteen Pink Beige refill.
Right side upwardly as well as opened, in that location is the eponymous white as well as bluish Rubycell applicator puff.
The puff picks upwardly simply plenty of the production as well as ensures fifty-fifty application. Its especial porous cloth (Rubycell technology) has antimicrobial properties that inhibit increment of mold as well as bacteria. So it's supposedly rubber to dunk it inwards the cushion fourth dimension as well as again, fifty-fifty afterward touching your face. Unfortunately, cleaning it an arduous business that I'd rather avoid, hence I simply purchase multi pack replacements. Makes life a lot easier.
As yous tin sack see, this wretched puff got a fleck mangled yesteryear the lid of the compact.
And speaking of the puff as well as the lid.
Cushion compacts are equipped amongst an inner comprehend to protect the surface of the cushion. And the applicator puff fits nicely on transcend of that cover.
Yes, I know, stuffing a damp puff inwards in that location as well as closing the compact gives me nightmares, too. Yet oddly enough, despite existence likewise lazy to launder the puff afterward each application, my human face upwardly hasn't rotted off yet.
When yous elevator the inner cover, yous tin sack run across that when the cushion is build new, its surface is protected yesteryear a safety sticker.
Some people salve these stickers as well as reuse them to locomote on their cushions fresher longer. I don't bother.
I simply peel it off as well as toss it inwards the garbage.
Pretty, pretty, hey, hey!
And this is what a cushion foundation it.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 chunk of sponge saturated amongst foundation. Of course, for this type of foundation to work, the liquid must live pretty, well... liquid.
That characteristic as well as the stamping application technique are responsible for the "second skin", flawless complete that cushions are famous for.
The cushion itself looks pretty dark, but when yous dunk your finger inwards it, yous realize that the actual foundation color is a lot lighter.
The cushion has a scent, but mercifully, it goes away pretty chop-chop (unlike other Laneige products, cough, sleeping pack, cough, white renew essence, cough).
Swatches of Laneige BB Cushion Pore Control No fourteen as well as No 13 (for comparison):
Recently, Amore Pacific has been adding novel cushion shades to its many different brands.
Iope got a novel shade disclose 13.
Laneige also got a duad of novel colors, 1 supposedly lighter (No 11) as well as a darker 1 too?
I can't utter for the darker shades, though I sympathise that finding a cushion suitable for a darker peel color is a challenge.
Here's how the floor goes for the pale as well as sticky folk:
It's frustrating. Very frustrating.
All swatch photos are unfiltered as well as were taken inwards natural light, simply inwards different conditions, as well as amongst different cameras.
I decided to endeavor No xiii True Beige on my human face upwardly (unedited photograph inwards natural light):
I didn't job a primer that day, this is how it looks on bare peel without whatever corrector or concealer.
As yous tin sack see, it didn't fully comprehend the melasma splotches on my forehead. The black circles nether my eyes are yet there.
And yous tin sack clearly run across that my human face upwardly is non dewy moisture but powdery as well as glowy at the same time.
The color is yet a tiny fleck likewise black for the remainder of me. My cervix as well as collarbone surface area looks lighter than my face.
