Korean cushions and deeper skin tones: are there finally shades for us?
For years the complaint in Latin communities was clear: Korean cushions came in three or four light shades, and anyone with brown or olive skin was left out. On social media and makeup forums, the conversation has shifted a little:
-
Some Korean brands have expanded their shade ranges for international markets.
-
Still, many people say the wider range doesn't always reach shops in Latin America or Spain.
-
Another recurring topic is undertone. Many Korean shades lean pink or neutral, and golden or olive undertones notice a greyish cast.
-
Oxidation also comes up: a shade that looks perfect in store can darken a few hours later.
Tips going around:
-
Test on the jawline in daylight, not on your hand.
-
Wait a few minutes before deciding.
-
Mix two shades, or use a lighter cushion as a skin tint.
Have you found a Korean cushion that matches your tone? Or have you given up?
