Picking a Korean cushion shade: how do you do it?

Korean cushion foundations are popular in Japan too, but "choosing the shade is hard" is one of the most common complaints.

Frustrations people mention

  • Korean ranges often start from lighter shades, and numbers like 21 or 23 are hard to translate
  • Pink versus yellow undertones are hard to judge on a screen
  • The colour right after applying can differ from how it looks later

Tips people often share

  • Test the real product near the neck or jawline
  • Some brands now offer extra shades for Japan, so check the Japanese official page too
  • If unsure, pick the middle option and adjust with concealer or powder
  • In reviews, look for people whose skin tone is close to yours
