Buying a cushion shade online: how do you choose?
Korean cushion shade ranges have grown, but many are still built around numbers like 17, 21, 23 with a warm/cool/neutral letter added. Buying from abroad without a tester is a gamble.
Tricks people on beauty forums share:
-
Compare against a foundation you already own using shade-matching sites.
-
Look for swatches on several skin tones, filmed in daylight.
-
Remember cushions often oxidize slightly or look lighter at first.
-
Buy a refill-only size or mini first if the brand sells one.
A lot of shoppers also say they just go one shade deeper than their gut tells them.
