Review : April Skin Magic Snow Cushion SPF 50 PA +++
January 08, 2016
It's been a long long time since my last update, LOL
So today, i will write a review on my new favourite cushion!!!!
Tadahhh~~~~it's April Skin Magic Snow Cushion SPF 50 PA +++
This is not an collab or whatever adver LOL
and yeah, fast delivery from the seller, received after 5 days I purchased
okok i know im a bit long speaking
anyway lets start~~~
The official website claimed that this magic snow cushion provides moisture and flawless coverage at the same time.
This award winning cushion introduced in various beauty programs as well.
many korean beauty bloggers also commented and review on this cushion
and this is the ingredients, though im a sensitive skin person
but im not really know about which ingredient will cause my face itchiness HAHA
so i just ignore PAISEH >.<
and the most unique part is this is a double-cushion cushion
sounds weird LOL
but yeah
it has a curve on the cushion to prevent moisture from evaporating
It come with 2 shades before which is #21 and #22
but the new shade #23 released too
so dont worry, you have more color options now~~
For those who have dry skin, can take a look on this photo
hope this will help
I got mine in #21 Light Beige
which is the lightest shade
Packaging five stars~ I love Black LOL
seems like not much different after applied on my hand
it cover my veins maybe? not too fair
the texture is somehow dewy but not as matte as Laneige Pore Control BB Cushion
and so i started to try this out on my face
to see whether the coverage is good or...
as usual, i just pat pat pat on my face
since the cushion has a curvy shape
u need to be careful when pressing on the cushion
left side is my bare face, right side is after application
as you can see, I have some acne scar and pigmentation
after apply magic snow cushion, it cover almost all of my redness and pigmentation
it does cover my super dark ciecle too so five stars again
CLAP CLAP CLAP
however, the pore coverage isn't that good
it seems like my pores still quite visible in front of my dslr camera?
HAHA idk
Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos on the water resistant test
HAHA but but but this cushion really amazed me
as i try this cushion on my hand and take a bath
no kidding, no matter how u smudge or rub
it's still there, so maybe if you're going to a water theme park or beach
wear this, just wear this
since it's super water resistant, i can feel only a little stickiness after applied
but soon!!! it seems like turn into waxy texture? idk how to describe
just like ur face coated with a wax but not heavy foundation or bb cream? LMAO
And the lasting power is just so so.....erm mayb 3-4 hours without touch-up?
If your t zone get oily easily, set it with a thin layer of powder will last longer :)
VERDICT : 4/5
HAHA anyway, my sharing ends here
If you have any question can just comment down there
i will reply asap as i can
Hope my review can help u all
Thanks ~~~~ <3

ReplyDeleteSorry dear, I can't gind any info about this, can't help u
DeleteAll major korean makeup brands make products with cruelty free methods as per the federal regulations
Deleteto compare between Lanegie bb cushion and AprilSkin bb cushion which is better?
ReplyDeleteIMO, they both have the same long lasting power, just the april skin have higher coverage than laneige, april skin doesn't make my face look cakey but laneige do
DeleteI think depends on the skin conditions
I like your review very much but how do i select the shade??
ReplyDeleteYou currently using what shades of foundation or bb cream?
DeleteDoes April skin snow white cushion have fake product?
ReplyDeleteI think nowadays all things have fake product but dont worry

DeleteHeyy.. really likes ur review. I would like to ask u, act, my tone color of skin is like normal malay color . So, could u please suggest me, do i better buy #22 or #23 april skin? Thanks.
ReplyDeletei think #23 will fairer but u can have a try
Deletei cant really tell #23 is how much darker than #21
:D
Hi Celine,
ReplyDeleteIs this cushion actually BB cream but just that it is in a cushion form?
Thanks :)
well, they not even mention any bb words in the description so i think it's more like a foundation?
Deletehow much is this product? thanks :)
ReplyDeletei bought mine at around rm70 as i got a coupon
Deletenow selling at rm 85 :D
If you buy it through gmarket, it's around $20 with a moisture cream
DeleteCan i buy the refill once my cushion finished?
ReplyDeleteErm, i dont think so....cant really find more info about the refill...Sorry ya
DeleteCan I ask what shade you are in the Laneige BB cushion? Cause I am using Laniege BB cushion in #23 though it is a tad (teeny bit) too dark for me. So I can gauge on which shade to buy for the April Skin one!
ReplyDeleteI used #13 of Laneige bb cushion. Hmm, if #23 is too dark for u, u can try #23 for the april skin cushion as #21 of april skin is lighter than #13 of laneige :)
Deletenice review product
Delete.
a have info about Cause Facial skin peeling
i'm a laneige #13 but you say april #21 is lighter than laniege #13? so if i want to get I need to get #22?
ReplyDeleteas shade 22 is pink beige, if ur skin is pink undertone then shade 22 will be perfect but if ur skin have acne problem or u have redness on ur face, im not really recommend this shade
DeleteI have normal skin and i live in Indonesia which the weather are summer and fall. I am confused to choose Black or white? Thankyou;)
ReplyDeletedefinitely black version!, white version is too moisturize for this humid weather, im in malaysia which have the same weather :D
DeleteI always want to try April Skin black cushion since I have oily skin with acne problem. Please help me find the right shade. I use Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation in 820 Creamy Natural and e.l.f Acne Fighting Foundation in Buff. Thankss :)
ReplyDeletedear, u can choose shade #23 :D
DeleteHi dear , I'm confusing how to choose the right shade . 21 and 22 . May I know what's the different and how can I choose it ? 😖
ReplyDelete21 is light beige whereas 22 is pink beige, if you have warm undertone go for 21 or 23, if you have pink undertone go for 22. Thanks

ReplyDeleteA Very interesting product. I have big pores and hope to get covered by this cushion. Do you think this April skin will help?
ReplyDeleteNot really can cover the pore actually, try some primer like porefessional before aplly this cushion :D
DeleteTry the Innisfree no sebum blur primer before foundation or bb. Most of their products help minimize the look of pores
DeleteA Very interesting product. I have big pores and hope to get covered by this cushion. Do you think this April skin will help?

ReplyDeleteHi Celine Han, I am so interested with this product, may I know where can I order or buy this april skin product?
ReplyDeleteU can either order it from gmarket, testerkorea or koreadepart, if u live in msia, get it from 11street :D
DeleteHi Celine Han, I am so interested with this product, may I know where can I order or buy this april skin product?
ReplyDeleteHi celine, so since you mentioned that this product is waterproof, how do you usually clean this on your face? Can we just clean it by using a facial foam? I never tried anything after i put my sunblock and i have zero experience about powders, foundations and bb creams. So here i am asking your advice 😁 thank you!
ReplyDeleteU needa remove ur makeup using makeup remover or cleansing water, IMO only facial foam is not enough, I use different remover or remove my makeup depends on how heavy my makeup is. After sunblock apply primer or straight to foundation/bb, then only apply small amount of powders on t zone or easily get oily area, btw different PPL have different skin, can't really tell which bb or foundation is the best :D
DeleteGet more info about a Pitted Keratolysis
DeleteHi, when you apply it on face and use a tissue to blot , will it stick to the tissue paper? thanks
ReplyDeletedepends on how many or how thinly applied, i think most of the foundation or bb does transfer, but if u set it with powder will transfer less :D
DeleteNice review. Thank you so much....
ReplyDeletewelcome :D
DeleteThanks for the review. Just wanna ask you, im a person that sweat a lot, bfore this, im using iope bb cushion, but whenever im sweating, it bcomes not smooth and smudge. Does this april skin sweat-resistance? Tq
ReplyDeletei dun think this cushion is sweat-resistance, this cushion actually does not last long, the first impression is good but later on u will know what happened, it'll become cakey somehow, i think u can have a try on Etude House Real Powder Cushion or Mamonde Cover Powder Cushion since they are suitable for summer
DeleteHello ma'am how much that cushion in Ph money? 😊
ReplyDeleteI think maybe around 690 PHP :D

ReplyDeleteIs it suitable for an 18 yrs old to wear this?
ReplyDeleteshould be no problem :D

ReplyDeleteThis product suit to cover any acne, pores on skin right? Is it it will probably disappears the acne when we applied this product for a long period?
ReplyDeleteyes...it may faded throughout the day, though it is a high coverage cushion but it not really last long.
DeleteHi thanks for the review wonder if you can assist me in choosing the right shade between 21 & 23 im warm undertone but acidic though. Im thinking about 23 but it might get darker after a while..thanks
ReplyDeleteJust bout shade 21 , find its too light for me when I put on but after a while find quite ok. I hv got dark pigmentation but Coverage quite good . Not sure if I shd change to shade 22
ReplyDeleteactually this cushion is more on white side, the shade 21 is way lighter than normal Korean bb cushions shade 21, but since u said after applied dont have big difference between ur face undertone then should be ok. :D
DeleteHi how can i order this product
ReplyDeletei got mine from 11street malaysia, u can try to get it on Gmarket >.<
DeleteHi how can i order this product
ReplyDeleteIf I'm MAC NC15 / NC20, which colour would suit me do u know? Thanks ^^
ReplyDeleteshade #21 should be ok :D u can take a look on their new matte black cushion
ReplyDeleteThanks for that. If you don't mind me asking, what MAC shade are you? =]
ReplyDeleteer...i dun have mac product but I'm using Estee Lauder Double Wear in shade 1N1 Ivory Nude, hope this can help u >.<
DeleteYou're probably a few shades fairer than I am. I used to use Estée Lauder double wear 2N2 Fresco. Wasn't sure if that was the correct shade for me as I ended up using Estée Lauder double wear light in shade #02 instead. I guess if you're using #21 for April skin, I should use #23? It's just hard to purchase foundation from April skin as I'm so unsure of which shade to get and I really want to get one =[
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
Deleteerr.... if u're using 2N2 then go to #23, cause this cushion looks really fair once u apply but after few minutes the shade will become "normal" that match my skin tone, this cushion's shade is fairer than the other cushion >.<
Deletehi,
ReplyDeletecomparing coverage between powder foundation by bareminerals & aprilskin, which does it better, u think?
tqs
i never use powder foundation before but i do not recommend using powder foundation before any liquid foundation/cushion or bb/cc unless u're super duper oily face.....u can build up ur coverage by applying powder foundation after liquid base makeup
Deleteand yeah back to ur question
as these two products were two different types of base makeup, i cant really tell which coverage is higher, really sorry dear >.< if laneige and aprilskin, definitely will be aprilskin THANKS :D feel free to ask again
amazing product
ReplyDelete.
get more info about a Facial skin peeling
Hi! Im using NC40 on Mac. What shade do you think I should get?
ReplyDeleteI scare even #23 also fairer than ur skin tone, maybe try other brand cushion which has various shades?
DeleteHi Celine, nice review..
ReplyDeleteI usually apply my BB Stick, followed by compact powder. If I use April Skin, do I still need to apply my BB Stick and compact powder as well? as in, firstly apply April skin, then BB Stick, then compact powder..thanks for your reply :)
cushion/ bb stick is the same actually just like foundation, if u apply cushion then no need apply bb stick, can proceed to translucent powder for setting purpose or compact powder for coverage, hope the info help :D
ReplyDeleteHi there! What is the difference bet magic snow cushion and magic snow cushion 2.0?? And by the way i usually use olay cream pinkish white 1st before applying anything on face, my question is, if i apply cushion is it alright if i dont use olay cream anymore?
ReplyDeleteDear, the new version will be more moisturizing but giving you flawless and velvety look, they didn't mention about re-fomulate the cushion instead the paging, I cant tell what's the difference unless I try it out >.< btw that olay cream is a day cream, u can whether apply it before the cushion or not, but make sure u apply sunscreen before any base makeup, It's IMPORTANT!!!!! LOL
DeleteHi, Celine. Do we need to apply anything like toner, moisturizer etc before using the April skin magic snow cushion??
ReplyDeleteYeah! you have to! you have to do your skincare routine before makeup, that helps ur base makeup adhere to your skin better :D
DeleteHi celine ;D I'm new to your blog and you made such an understandable review! Thumbs up! HAHA. Anyway, my skin get oily at the tzone like soo much especially after going out. Which one among the white and black cushion do you think suitable for my skin? Hihi
ReplyDeletethough black version is made for oily/combination skin but it does not last long
Deletemaybe u can try their new released black cushion 2.0? :D
Hi, if i use etude house bb cream cotton fit in light beige what shade do u recommend? (:
ReplyDeleteerr, go for shade #21, you are fairer :D
DeleteHi, can I use magic cushion everyday? I am bit worried as I have never used foundation over 15 spf.
ReplyDeleteShould not be a problem, higher spf just for higher protection from UV rays, as long as you're not sensitive to sunblock ingredients then should be alright :D
ReplyDeleteHi there! i from malaysia. I would like to told u about my skin.Before i use a skincare,my skin look really sensitive to use bb cream;cushion.I find a skincare name is Tati skincare beauty and then after that my skin really differents before this.I would like to try this product and confuse to choose shade #21 or #23? thanks for your reply
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteOh one more thing,my skincare have a day cream and sunblock. Afte i use them,its oky to apply april skin?
ReplyDeleteyeah of course! you have to complete all your skincare routine before apply your base makeup, btw, you're currently using what foundation? in which shade?
Deleteso that it can be a reference to choose the right shade :D
Thank you for review 😊 I have very new kbeauty blog. https://suruyashi.blogspot.com.tr/?m=1
ReplyDeleteHello! Loved your review. I'm using IT Cosmetic's CC cream in Light and Too Faced Foundation in Light Beige, may I know what shade would you recommend for me? I'm quite worried that I will choose the wrong shade as I cannot try the shades on my skin before purchasing it.
ReplyDeleteHello Winnie, I'm scared that the cushion does not match your skin tone as the cushion shades are quite fairer, you can try the darkest shade which is #23 but it may still way lighter than your foundation shades. >_<
DeleteDoes it cover freckles?? I have some freckles in my face & the y are brown colors..will April skin cover them???
ReplyDeleteYeah, it can cover. I have freckles too, dark brown color. It can cover 80% of my freckles, the coverage is good :D
ReplyDeleteCan I use sunscreen before applying it ?? Does it work on heavy sunlight??
ReplyDeleteOf course you can! dont skip your sunscreen before applying any base makeup products, tho it mentioned the cushion has 50pa+++, you still have to apply sunscreen ya :D
DeleteHow do u take care of ur freckles? Do u use any products to remove freckles or control them???
DeleteErr, I don't really take care my freckles as it was inherited genetically...and they are hard to remove unless receive laser treatment. btw I just apply sunscreen whenever I going out even I don't put my makeup on. You can try apply some vit c essence twice daily, maybe that will help brighten? XD
DeleteHello Celine! :D loved your review on this product. I just have one question, i live in Singapore and has the same weather as malaysia but i have dry skin. Which will you recommend the black or white one?
ReplyDeleteHello!
DeleteI think white version will be more suitable, as this cushion will accentuates dry patches if you wear it longer time.
But depends, i can't really tell that cushion is suitable for dry skin user as I've never use it
Or you can try to purchase black version 2.0? The official site claims it's more moisturize than this old version
XD Hope this help

ReplyDeleteHello ladies! Make sure to check the authentic april skin magic snow cushion 2.0 vs FAKE. i got a fake aprik skin from lazada merchant: SAUVE.I searched online and found out that what was delivered to me is certified FAKE.They sell it for p799 as of this writing.Beware!

Hi I want to buy that cushion but I don't know which shade should I buy? Because My face is kinda dark and oily and I have acne too.. please kindly reply thank you celine..
ReplyDeleteHello, I don't think this cushion fits dark skin tone user well. The shades are quite fair tbh, though the coverage is good but it has quite poor last long power so not really recommend to u. If u have enough budget, go for the new HERA black cushion, they even release shades #25, which is really suitable for dark skin tone user. :D
