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
