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

    1. I 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 :)

  27. Hi 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!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. U 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

      Delete
  28. Hi, when you apply it on face and use a tissue to blot , will it stick to the tissue paper? thanks

    1. depends 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

  30. Thanks 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

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. i 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

    1. actually 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

  43. You'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 =[

    2. err.... 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 >.<

    1. 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
      and 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

    I 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 :)

    ReplyDelete
  47. 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

    Replies
    1. Dear, 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!!!!!

    1. Hello!
      I 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

    1. Hello, 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
