Review: April Skin Magic Snow Cushion

Hi everyone.

Do you heard of April Skin before?

April Skin Official Website

Recently the April Skin Magic Stone face soap was becoming a big hits. Even in Malaysia, it's a big hits item on Facebook. The company state as using the 100% natural ingredient and help detoxification skin that is dry and sensitive.
A lot of celebrities recommend it on Instagram or even Facebook.
Below is the link which some of the beauty blogger that recommend and explanation (Along with the Magic Snow Cream):

I bought the April Skin Magic Snow Cushion from 11street. I'm quite surprise that the seller having this item on their shop, and I bought it without hesitate.

Product

This cushion is 15g. (Without refill). SPF 50+/PA+++.
It comes with 2 choices of color: #21 Light Beige and #22 Pink Beige.
Since my skin tone is quite fair, so I'm choosing the #21 Light Beige.
It provide moisture and flawless coverage at the same time.
The 5 main selling points for this cushion:
  • Flawless Coverage
  • Excellent Spreadability
  • Easily Absorbs
  • Beautiful Two Tones
  • Blocks UV rays, Whitening, Anti-Aging > 3 in 1 :)
For more information and ingredient details, you can go to their officially website:


The amazing things and the first time I saw on the cushion that difference with other cushion brand is that April Skin having the double cushion, that's mean the cushion real look a bit curve up, it's to prevent moisture from evaporating.

Curve up cushion

Alright, now I'm trying the cushion on my hand:


The very rich foundation that I only slightly touch on the cushion surface

Try the cushion on my hand. Just a few taps. You can see the difference of the skin tone.

My point of view

The packaging is just a so so. It's a black plastic cover.
The price is a slightly high, 28USD without refill, and 38USD with refill.
April Skin actually is not a well known brand example like Sulhwasoo or Laniege at Oversea. So the price range for me is a slightly high.
The smell of the cushion is a bit strong.

Good things is the slightly curve up cushion is impress me.
And the result after I applied on my face was fascinating. It's totally bright up my face and the coverage is good. Be careful when choosing for the right cushion tone for your skin. For me, Light Beige is little bit fair already.
It's definitely a worth try cushion for those who want the fastest flawless coverage. Just a few puffs and it will cover almost my face's pores.
My daily working routine will be like stay in air-conditional environment for a long time (working place) and only expose to sun while going to lunch. So, the coverage can be up to 6 to 7 hours.
My skin is combination skin type. This cushion is not too oily or neither dry for me.

Overall, it's a good cushion. I will totally recommend it to who want the fastest flawless coverage (will it a bit over? hehehe)

Thanks so much for your time to read this review. :)

  1. Hi do you wear Hera or laneige cushion? Wish to know if April skin #21 will be too light to Hera #c21? Or Laniege #21?

    1. Hi Jace.

      I used Laniege BB cushion #21 Natural Beige before. Yes, April Skin #21 is a bit lighter than Laniege #21. Since the April skin #21 is light beige, if you want the natural tone, then maybe you can choose Natural Beige. But so far, i still can accept April Skin #21. It won't make the face looks like vampire! Don't worry. Hehehe (Just kidding)

  2. Thanks for your help on this!!!!! I'm just afraid of having that different Colour tone on my face as compared to neck:(( now I don't know if I should get #21, #22 or even #23(but I'm afraid 22 will be too pink for my fine yellow tone skin while 23 will be too dark!lol!).

    1. Hmm.. well, here's my tips. If you feel like your face look too pale after applied the cushion, try some mist on face. It can eventually natural the face and tone down a little bit. It even makes the makeup stay on even longer a bit. It works for my face. But it just my tips. Hehehe.. I'm not sure this one applied to everyone.
      And you can control on how heavy of the tap from puff on the cushion, and adjust on face eventually.
      I don't know your skin tone so i can't really suggest which color might suit you. I'm sorry :'(

    1. Hi :)
      I'm currently using it in the morning. I do have acne on my face, but i believe it's not from the April Skin Cushion. :D
      I am combination skin type, and easily get acne when my body heat is up. So I'm currently using the Innisfree Bija Trouble skin care toner.
      Remember do the double cleansing! :D

  4. Hello, can I know what is the different between April Skin Magic Snow Cushion Black and April Skin Magic Snow CC Cushion?

    1. Hi Nurul. Did you mean the difference between the black and white version? You can read my white version review here: http://smallgirlonearth.blogspot.my/2016/01/april-skin-magic-snow-cushion-white-ver.html

      Overall, I can said that actually the black version is more suitable in Malaysia. White version will be more moisture and you might feel the stickiness on face. Coverage for both cushion more or less is the same, but I still prefer the Black one.

      Hope this help. :D

  5. Hi :D, so I'm having a really hard time to buy April Skin's product.

    I'm planning to buy April Skin Magic Stone Original and April Skin Magic Snow Cushion Black.

    As I was browsing the above products at 11street, some of the reviewer said that they have some doubts about the originality of the products. Someone posted that he/she buy the magic stone from 2 different seller and he/she received 2 different size, one is big and another one is smaller.

    I tried to google on how to find out which one is original and fake, but it didn't came out at all. So I tried to find someone who do reviews and I saw your post.

    I know you may not know about the originality of the products, but can you recommend me a trusted seller that sell original April Skin product? Since you have experienced buying and using the products.

    I'm sorry for the long essay but I don't who can help me abt this. A reply would be nice, thank you :) !

  9. Hey hey! I am very afraid of cosmetics clogging up my pores as I have Super oily skin. May I know how is this bb cushion working for you so far?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Hi Dear :D

      Oh, you have the oily skin type.
      As so far, this black cushion is suitable for my combination skin. And from the website, it state as good for Oily/Combination skin type so i think it will be suitable for you if compare with the white cushion.
      This black cushion is working fine, it didn't cause acne on my face. So far so good. But I always do double cleansing during night routine.

      My suggestion is that maybe you can use loose powder after you applied any cushion? So your face won't get too oily after some hours.

      Hope this help! :)

  12. Hello! How long does the magic cushion last? Ive used it for 5 days and i never pressed too hard to the cushion so it will last for a month. But i think now its finished already. Just curious

    1. Hi :D I been to vacation and sorry for the late reply. I didn't pressed hard to the cushion. So mine cushion last about like 3 months. When you feel the surface cushion almost finish, you can use a wooden stick to get the cushion up and change to the back surface. You can use it again roughly about a month again :D.

    1. Hi Dear. I haven't use IOPE before. So I don't know the color whether it will match to the April Skin #21. :(
      But i search that IOPE only available for 21 and 23. So i think if you are using 21, i think April Skin 21 is not a problem for you. :D
      Hope this help.

  15. Hai. I also considering to buy this new product? How was the product when we're sweating?

    1. Hi Dear. :D

      April Skin cushion will give you a matte finished look. But when we are sweating, our face will produce oil and it will give our face looks a little bit shimmering. It won't melt under the hot sun. It's because of the special invent air puff and the cushion foundation.
      Hope this help. :)

  17. Hi, I am using no.13 for laneige bb cushion ; no. 21 laneige & hera bb cushion colour tone is kind of dark for my skin so I usually stay away from products if there is no number #13 shade but I would like to try April skin product. You mention April skin #21 is lighter and brighter than laneige #21? I hope #21 april skin is light enough for my skin tone ; ( Thanks!

    1. Hi Dear.

      Ah. Yes, for April Skin #21, is for the most light skin tone. They only available for 3 types currently, #21 Light Beige, #22 Pink Beige and #23 Natural Beige.
      So if you are using #13 for Laneige BB, then i think #21 shouldn't have any problem. :D

    2. What kind of primer and makeup base do you use?(:

      Delete
    3. Primer currently I'm using Innisfree No Sebum Blur Primer. Or sometime I will use Artistry primer.
      Make up base currently I'm using the Innisfree Mineral Make Up base, you can go through my review on below:
      http://smallgirlonearth.blogspot.my/2016/03/review-innisfree-mineral-make-up-base.html

      Well, everyone has the different view of the primer and makeup base. Go through some research or review on the type of primer/makeup base. Analyze which one the suit your skin best. I hope you can find the best one. :)

    4. Do you put loose powder after cushion?? Sorry for asking so many questions and thank you for replying to my questions too

      Delete
    5. Haha. It's okay Dear. :D
      Yes, sometime I put loose powder too after I applied cushion. If you wish your foundation stay on longer then you can applied loose powder, it's oil control for your face. Loose powder will lead to a little bit matte.
      Hope this help :D

    1. Hi Dear~

      Maybe you can send an email to them asking why your package doesn't has the hologram sticker? Capture the photo show as your proof.

      Or straight leaving comment on their page. So far i bought the White cushion from Issac, my package had the hologram sticker. And my Black cushion actually i bought from Eround Mall if not mistaken.

  23. Can I know what do you apply before you use the Cushion? Like what you've written up there you use primer and makeup base , I would like to know the function of the two products. The blur powder I searched online it started there we should use it as the last step so I'm confuse now.
    I live in Malaysia and my face is quite oily so is it okay if I use the cushion?
    I have problem choosing #21 or #22 cause my skin is quite fair. Can you give me your opinion?

    1. Hi Dear.

      Very very sorry that I late reply you because last 2 weeks I was at Korea. :(

      1. Primer and makeup base are function as a screen protector between your face and all the makeup. You can search through the internet for more information. Normally the reason i use both is because primer/makeup base able to oil control and if your makeup base has the color, it can able to control your skin tone. The following makeup will be more easier to apply. Blur powder can be react as loose powder, so it can apply last. Primer/makeup base i mentioned here are the liquid base.

      2. Yes, the black version is main for normal/oily skin type.

      3. I'm using the #21, since your skin is quite fair, i will suggest you use #21. If you wish your skin look more pink-ish, then you can choose #22.

      Hope this help. :D

    1. Hi Dear,

      I'm not sure about that either. As you know Korean's cushion tend to more fair skin. I saw some comments on people complaining that korean cushion dark shade is not lean to dark and yellowish tone at all. :(
