TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation | Full coverage, Weighless, Skin fit, Satin Glow Finish, Korean cushion foundation (#23N Sand, 0.63 Fl Oz (Pack of 1))

It Is Absolutely WONDERFUL To FINALLY Find Foundation That Matches My Skin!!! BUT….
I absolutely LOVE this foundation!! You have no idea how wonderful it is to FINALLY find an affordable foundation that matches my skin tone PERFECTLY. As a “woman of a certain age” (let’s leave it at that!) my only choices when I first started wearing makeup were the only department store foundation made exclusively for Black women (before there was ever Fenty) or settle for weird looking drugstore foundation matches. And who would have thunk it would be a South Korean makeup company that would finally match my skin tone all these years later!
I purchased shade 40N and 43N (at the time the two darkest TIR TIR shades). I got 43N because it was what a You Tube influencer that I follow used (MissDarcei) who is my exact shade in both summer and winter. When I heard that the foundation oxidizes a shade darker, I went with 40N first. As it turns out, 40N will work great for my winter shade.
There are tutorials on You Tube on how to best apply this foundation to get the best results. Robert Welsh is a great place to start.
As far as wear goes, I have done makeup tests with the foundation on my face bare skin and without primer and with skin care prep, and it looked as good as it did when I put it on. I wore this foundation for up to 12 – 15 hours each time, and the only thing that happened was that I did start looking a little “dewy” in my T-zone around hour 10, but nothing that a quick dab of powder wouldn’t fix. The foundation never separated, never looked cakey, and didn’t fill in any lines. It also played nicely with my concealer, etc.
1. It didn’t separate even after almost 15 hours, which was the day I wore it just on my face and with nothing else on underneath it.
2. It didn’t settle into my laugh lines or any fine lines.
3. There was very minimal transfer, and what transferred were things like blush and highlight. The foundation itself had practically no transfer.
4. The longer it was on my face, the better it looked, and it looked fantastic to start. Plus my skin looked great when I removed it.
5. It stayed on my face until I took it off, and this was even through gardening, running errands, and going out into a heat wave.
IMPORTANT TIPS TO REMEMBER:
1. DON’T keep constantly keep pressing into the foundation. When they say a little goes a long way, they mean it. Press the applicator LIGHTLY once into the cushion so that you can barely see the foundation on the applicator. If you can see it, tap the excess off on the inside of the cover. It is buildable, so start with a very light layer, which will be more than enough to do your whole face. You should be able to lightly press into the compact and use that little bit to cover your whole face, and if you miss a spot or two, pick up the excess that you wiped on the inside cover and use that.
2. If the foundation looks cakey or orange, you applied WAY too much to the pad and piled the excess right onto your face. The more you apply in the very first application, the more it will oxidize and give you cake-face.
3. DON’T drag the applicator sponge across your face. That’s another reason why you have cake face and look like an Oompa-Loompa. TAP the sponge into your face, starting from the center and work outward.
4. DO NOT use a foundation brush or beauty blender to apply this foundation. This will also give you cake-face because you’re using too much foundation all at once.
4. SKIN PREP IS KEY! I have combo/oily skin, so I did my skin prep (clean skin, moisturizer, primer for oily skin), let it sit and soak in for 5-10 minutes, and then applied this foundation. If you have oily skin, set this foundation with powder.
5. Wait for the foundation to set before you apply anything on top of it. It dries down fast, especially if you apply it the right way.
6. Go a shade lighter than you think you’ll need. Even with the light application, it does oxidize like any other makeup does. It will oxidize a shade darker. And again, if you put on too much, you will turn orange.
I had no breakouts or flaky skin anywhere with this foundation. I think the people having problems with this foundation should address it through their skin prep. Of course there are people who will be allergic and who can’t use the foundation, but I think the majority of people complaining about how the foundation looks don’t know how to apply it correctly.
TL:DR – Absolutely love this foundation; 10 out of 10 would recommend.
UPDATE AND EDIT ON 8/27/2024:
TL:DR – I still like this foundation, but I got one of the recent shade updates (45W Chestnut), and it was a swing and a miss. I got a bit darker than anticipated because – SUMMER- and was really excited that a warm shade had come out. I pre-ordered it, got two compacts of the new shade b/c I remembered how quickly they sold out, and got one of the first batches.
Way, WAY too red. And when it oxidized, my face was two shades darker than my ears! Even after applying the foundation using the techniques I outlined earlier.
Do I still like the product? Yes. I like the coverage, I like the wear-ability, I like how it feels on my skin. But if you’re still listening, Tir-Tir, please make warm AND cool shades, especially in the deeper skin tones. POC have different undertones, and not all dark people have red undertones.
I appreciate that you’ve been receptive to our requests thus far, but you’re almost there with the shade range! Keep going, and like they say in K-Dramas, Fighting!

I’ll start the review off by saying I have dry skin type, usually shade 122 in maybelline fit me (although I’ve switched since finding out this tirtir shade matches me better), and I live in incredibly dry and freezing temperatures, so I have no idea how this foundation is like in humid and warm environments. I am also incredibly sensitive to scents and textures, but there’s no need to worry about that with this product as it’s a very light product. I loveee this product and will be repurchasing. It covers up all my redness and I don’t even have to colour correct with it!!! I barely use my concealer now because this cushion has enough coverage so that I don’t have to! Despite this foundation being really thin and light, it has the best coverage. My base is dewy and hydrated, but not oily at all, and looks and feels like skin. It doesn’t transfer at all imo, however a lot of other reviews are talking about the scent, transfer, texture, and oxidization. I’ll clarify what some of these reviews may be talking about. The scent in the foundation is incredibly light and I honestly can’t smell it until it’s right up on my nose and I’m deliberately trying to smell it, but the scent is clean anyways so it should be no problem. It smells like fresh towels with lemon detergent tbh. It doesn’t linger at all so you won’t get random whiffs of it during the day. As for transfer, I’d only worry about it if you’re not powdering. Even then it barely transferred for me, and if it did (example: pressing face on the vision testing machines at optometrist) I could blend it back out easily with my fingers and it looks amazing still. Next question, does it emphasize texture? Not at all! I break out really often and before when I used maybelline fit me the texture emphasis was horrible, but with this foundation I feel like it’s made even my worst breakouts blend amazingly into the rest of my skin. When talking about the texture of the foundation, some might find it “sticky”, but it’s not. It feels like you have nothing on, and since I have a lot of sensory issues this foundation really takes the cake for the “no-feel” feel. Now, for oxidization I would only be worried if you did not moisturize/prep enough and use a setting spray that’s not really “compatible”. For me it was the urban decay setting spray that was making it oxidize for me, so I took the spray out of my routine (now I use no setting spray at all) and I haven’t seen any oxidization since. A tip for applying this foundation in good moderation is using either a foundation spatula or a thin foundation application brush, pressing it into the cushion (all it should take is one push, more than one push will make your base really thick since a little goes a really long way in this case), applying onto the face with the amount you want to go on each part (ex: two strokes for cheeks, one for forehead, etc. But remember just a little bit goes a really long way!), then blending out with the cushion that comes with the product. I find the whole thing easy to clean and remove, including the cushion if there’s excess foundation. But in conclusion it’s really good, and there’s prevention+solutions to the problems that a lot of the other reviews said they had! Hope you enjoy this product if you buy it!

I am very happy and excited to get my most beautiful and great results. Thank you for your service and love it ❤️
I am gonna buy again later 😃

Best foundation I ever tried! Full coverage, it’s not heavy on the skin! Love it
