[REVIEW] IOPE Air Cushion XP Matte Finish

Hey guys! I am back with another blogpost!

The IOPE Air Cushion XP has been in the No.1 Best-Selling Cushion compacts out there in South Korea and probably, in the world right now because western beauty brands don't produce cushion compacts. South Korea is the first country that invented the cushion compact (by Amorepacific) and IOPE is the best out of all cushion compacts out there.

The one that I bought was recently released and it is the Matte Finish version. They also come with Natural, Cover, Shimmer and Intense Cover. It has been raved by so many Korean celebrities and makeup gurus (even some western celebrities).

It contains a puff, a sponge and in the sponge, it contains liquid foundation. My shade is M21 (the second lightest shade).

Sorry if the packaging is dirty, I accidentally swipe my puff onto the white, outer area of the compact. I'll clean it when I have the time.

It also comes with one extra refill and a free puff from Aritaum.

Now I know why this product has been raved so many times and this is easily one of the most favourable cushion compacts by other people (especially makeup gurus and celebrities). It has a light to medium coverage, very natural-looking and has high sun protection (SPF 50 Pa+++). Also, it's easy to blend and it's not cakey at all. It might say that it's matte, but it's not very matte. It is semi-matte but it does give off a slight dewy look (but not as dewy as most Korean cushion compacts though).

This product definitely made my skin glow a little bit, but doesn't come off too oily or greasy throughout the day and it's definitely long-lasting as it is matte (semi-matte to be very precise). It also made my skin look better and healthier. The packaging is also light and travel-friendly so it's great for travelling.

after applying the IOPE Air Cushion XP Matte Finish all over my face

Tear off the plastic cover that's taped on the packaging. Press the puff gently with one push and then use the puff to apply the product all over the face by patting the puff gently onto the face (you may swipe the puff if it doesn't blend very well), blending it in the process. There will be a lot of product on the puff so you can just use that one puff to cover all over your face.

Price: 40,000KRW

Store Location: IOPE branches, Aritaum branches

How much product/heavy: 15g

Would I repurchase it? Yes, well only the refills because that would definitely save the cost and the environment.

Overall Comment:

It may be a little bit pricey (okay, yeah it's actually very pricey because it's $48BND), but I did not regret investing in this amazing product. Coverage is great and natural (not cakey at all), long-lasting, light, portable, travel-friendly and has high sun protection. Definitely recommend this product to everyone if you're looking for a foundation with lots of benefits for a pretty reasonable price.

-medium to high coverage
-has high SPF
-blends well
-matches well with skin tone
-lightweight
-light packaging
-travel-friendly
-comes with a puff
-comes with a mirror
-has refills

Cons:
-complicated packaging
-claims it's 'matte' but has a dewy finish
-only has 3 shades (all very fair)
