I'm living in Malaysia, expect that day weather will be sunny and hot! Humidity maybe around 55%. So the function of foundation cushion will react differently on our skin type + weather.
My skin type is Combination Skin Type.
The white cushion main selling point is that add x2 moisture in the foundation cushion. Well, in my mindset, adding moisture into it will only suitable for fall/winter season. And at this round timing, Korea now is winter season. So, can be said like white version is suitable for their current weather. But I still wanna give a try on this cushion and I will going to cooler country (at least cold than Malaysia :D) next 2 months. So it will be suitable for me there.
However, I tried the white version. So I can actually compare and differentiate it for girl who plan to buy April skin magic snow cushion.

Review
The coverage is medium if you compare it with black cushion. Stay on will be around 4 - 5 hours. Good things is, the white cushion can make your skin looks shinny and glowing! :D
I put some of the foundation on my hand, and my hand instantly feel shine! I try to pour water on my hand and it stay still and shine. I'm quite impress of the dewy effect.
And my skin feel some moisture once I applied it. (Some sticky feelings but it's okay! Same like Akma cushion that I introduced before)
Tips: After applied, use Loose powder also if you have one. It will reduce the stickiness of the face and act as oil control.
I like the smell of the cushion, the smell is more lighter than the black version.
Comparison between Black version and White version:
Coverage: White cushion is Medium coverage. Black cushion better than White cushion
Glowing,Shinny: White cushion is more glowing and dewy on the face than black cushion. White cushion can make shinny on the face. Black cushion might be more matte feel.
Moisture: White cushion feel moisture than Black cushion.
Smell: Not much of artificial smell like the Black cushion.
By overall, black cushion is still my favorite compare with the white cushion.
White cushion is good too! If your living place weather is cool now, then is good to use the white version. But if it's hot like summer then Black cushion will be better choice.
For me, now my current routine is:
Early at the morning I will use Black version, because I will expose under the sun and you know Malaysia hot weather. After lunch,I will use white version to fill up (light) on my face because I working at the air-conditional environment and makes my skin feel a little bit dry. Mostly the working day I don't use liquid foundation, what I current use is Make up Base + Foundation Cushion + Loose Powder.
That's just my style on how to use the cushion and I believe everyone is different! :D
Please feel free to share how your daily cushion make up style.
*And remember, must must must (important things I will repeat 3 times) do a proper make up remove even thought you are using only the make up base or cushion for the whole day. Normal cleansing gel will never be enough. Double cleanse would be the best! There have many types like Cleansing milk, Cleansing Water, Cleansing Oil and etc are depends on how heaviness of the make up you wore. Do some research on which one more suitable for your skin type. A proper skin care will lead to a good make up appearance. :D
Thanks for the reading and have a nice day to you!

Hi~ Here is the review of the Nakeup Face Cushion: http://smallgirlonearth.blogspot.my/2016/03/nakeup-face-waterking-cover-cushion.html
Deletewhere do you buy your april skin?
DeleteHi Dear~
DeleteI bought the April Skin Cushion at 11street. :D
Hi pretty elisis
ReplyDeleteI am planning to try these cushions but i am really stuck.i don't know which one i should go for.its really hard to decide.i love dewy look.i don't like matte finish.i have acne scars that i always have to cover with concealer. Thats why i appreciate the full coverage. My skin is a bit dry and really sensitive. but i live in malaysia also .you know malaysia can get really hot as hell at times.so i was wondering if the black really leaves matte look .i mean not even a slightest dewy-ness?i really hope you can answer this for me.
Hi Dear~ :D
DeleteActually Black cushion lead to matte finish. And White cushion lead to Dewy. And your skin is a bit dry and sensitive. Maybe you might be suitable to White Cushion.
White cushion might not good coverage compare with the black cushion. But, to be honest that cushion will never give full coverage. Even for me, if i want full coverage, i will use my foundation + cushion. :)
You can always adjust the amount so your face doesn't looks heavy.
If you want to buy the black one, you can put on CC cream or primer first that can brightening or leave dewy looks, after that you apply the black one, so the effect will not so matte.
It's all about adjust/control by yourself anyway. :)
Hope this help.

DeleteAww that's too bad.i wish the white one would at least be full coverage or the black one would at least leaves a dewy finish.i actually have been watching reviews of these cushions on youtube. But for some reasons,i just got more confused. Not only which one i should go for ,i dont even know which tone should i go for.it would be really embarrassing to put on something that doesn't match my neck's skin. T_T
DeleteHi Dear :)
DeleteYes. I understand that watching too much reviews will be confusing sometimes. Because opinions are different base on user experience. :)
Everybody is talking about this product in Korea! I was wondering if this is just a hype or a real deal. Thanks for the review, this is really helpful.
ReplyDeleteHi Dear~ :D
DeleteThanks for the lovely comment.
So far what I had been tried out some cushions, the April Skin cushion is quite a good deal. :)
Maybe you can search for some review videos on youtube for more information. :D
Hello! I have oily skin and got some acne scars need to cover up so i decided to bought the black cushion but then when i put it on my face after 20mins travel from home to work i tried to see my face and found out that my skin is so dry on my forehead and chin. Maybe because in mrt its cold and in my workplace. So what do you think i should do? Do i have to put something first before i use the cushion? Help! I really like the magic cushion so i dont want to stop using it. Thanks for the help.
ReplyDeleteHi Dear~
DeleteSo your skin become very dry after 10 to 15 mins using the cushion? Hmm.. do you applied anything before the cushion?
Cushion is a type of foundation too. So my advice is before apply the cushion, you can put on your daily skin care, then you put on any Make Up Base / CC cream / Primer.
Usually i will applied make up base first before apply cushion. Please get beauty consultant advice whether which type of make up base/pre-primer is suitable for your skin type.
Hope this help :)
Thanks a lot! You are right i never put anything before the cushion so maybe thats why. My face is like peeling then the foundation can see on my face because of the peeling. Thanks a lot. I hope I can message you again for some queries.
ReplyDeleteOhoh. I see. A good make up start with a hydrated skin. Maybe you can ask around which skin care product is good for your skin type. :)
DeleteHi^^
ReplyDeletewould like to ask if you have any advice on how to choose the colour tone the cushion? THX
Hi dear~ If you skin tone is fair, you can choose the #21 or #22. If your skin tone is lead to natural, then you can choose #23. :D
Delete#23 doesn't mean it was a dark tone. It just lead to more natural way and suit Asian's skin tone.
Or you can view some blogs of how the beauty blogger choose the cushion color. Because different cushion has their own shade/tone. :D
Hope this help.
Hai thanks for the review, i'm interested in buying these products after being disappointed with one cushion that provides a matte finish (i didn't like it bcs of my dry skin) and that cushion was also not long lasting and fade quickly when exposed to water & i got more interested after reading it if this cushion it's good enough if exposed to water, but is this product also good for outdoor activities? and how long this cushion can survive? tysm ^^
ReplyDeleteHi Dear~
DeleteThis cushion is good for dry skin and will give the dewy effect. I think it is good for outdoor activities, but i'm sure after a few hours you need to put on the cushion foundation again. It is depend on whether you are doing outdoor activities for few hours or staying inside a building for a few hours.
There are many cushions that are suitable for dry skin. Some of the cushion even put on Ampoule or Essences on it.
Hope this help. :)
hey, just found ur review about this booming cushion in Korea. My skin type is dry and sensitive, so i think i fit the white one. but, you know the weather in msia right, really hot and i easily get sweat on my nose. and other than that i usually wipe my sweat right away
ReplyDeletenb : i never use any makeup before, only sunblock.
so, i wanna ask if the white cushion really moist ? i mean really moist, that can be faded if we sweat too much.
thankss :3
Hi Dear~
DeleteWhite cushion is moist if compare with the black cushion. But the moist here does not mean you feel moist like you applying the moisturizer. Moist here is like the foundation doesn't make your face looks cakey, fit well on the face and does not feel dry. Since your skin type is dry, so i think it will stay longer on your face.Tap the tisu on your face to remove the sweat instead of wipe it.I think will be okay. Hehehe
Cushion foundation actually not a long lasting, normally after 4-5 hours, you need to tap again. (Especially Malaysia)
If you want a better result, maybe you can try with Make Up Base (with SPF) + Cushion? Sunblock + Cushion is okay too. But I think coverage it not that good if you use Sunblock + cushion only.
Anyway, as long as you do proper cleaning routine then should be fine.
Hope this can help. :D
hi. may i use your picture? look so nice
ReplyDeleteHi Dear.
DeleteYes, you can use the pictures here. :)

DeletePlease advice me my skin is dry and sensetive which one will suit me black or white currently i use black but really ...make me dry
ReplyDeleteHi Dear~
DeleteIf you are dry skin type, you will be more suitable by using the White version, because it's more moisture than the Black version.
Did you apply any makeup base first before cushion? Since you already get the black one, maybe you can research on Primer or makeup base that suitable for dry skin and provide moisture, then by following you can use your black cushion so that you won't feel too dry.
Hope this help. :)
Im normal skin type and was wondering which would be better black or white?
ReplyDeleteHi Dear.
DeleteSo sorry that late reply because last 2 week i was at Korea.
Normal/oily skin type, my opinion, black version will be better. :D

ReplyDeleteHi, I am currently using the white one with #23 tone (because I don't prefer white-based foundation for myself). But that tone doesn't makes my face darker or whiter (just nice). I live in Malaysia and I have a terrible dry+sensitive skin.
ReplyDeleteThe white version really suits me well. it doesn't give me bad effects (for one who have a sensitive skin problem).
The coverage is medium but it still covers all my redness on face *thumbs up*
I think I will continue using this cushion.
do you have any other cushion's suggestion that I can try on? i prefer the cushion that moisture my skin well. :) thnx
Hi Dear~
DeleteGlad that you like the white cushion! :D
You have the dry skin type, so I suggest you to use their fall/winter edition cushion. Some brands they do release cushion specially fall/winter cushion or Moisture cushion. It will be more moisturizing to the skin.
Example, Lalavesi Fall/Winter edition cushion (I using it now, I love it), Innisfree Water glow cushion, if you go for upper price, will be like Sum:37 and Sulwhasoo. Sulwhasoo is good. My mom has the dry and aging skin, but she said the cushion doesn't dry up her skin and feel moisture. :D
Hope this help.

ReplyDeleteHi Dear~
DeleteSince you have oily/combo skin, I will recommend you on the black version. It's more on matte finished and the coverage is good.
If you want to meet a good coverage, loose powder will never be enough. Makeup base > Foundation > Cushion. Perfect routine for flawless i guess. Hehehe xD
Hope this help.
