For reference, I'm NC20-25, and my main skin concerns are PIE, redness, larger pores around nose & cheek area, dark, purplish circles. My skin is on the oily side. I've tried the following:
LANEIGE BB Cushion Pore Control in 21 Natural Beige (AMOREPACIFIC)
- SPF50+/PA+++
- Great match for my skin tone
- Shades are usually darker than the standard 21/23 so try a lighter shade (ex: if you're a 21, maybe you're a 13, so look for swatches first)
- Medium coverage
- Matte daw, but satin finish on my oily skin
- Does control oil better vs. all the other cushions I've tried
- Lasts about 4-5 hours before blotting is needed
- If you have drying pimples/acne, this will emphasize them even more so be careful
VERITE UV Multi Cushion DX in 23 Cover Beige (AMOREPACIFIC)
- SPF50+/PA+++
- Great match for my skin tone
- I think this has been discontinued? The newer ones are the Multi Cushion LX and the Aurora Cover Cushion
- Medium coverage
- Can be drying especially on the cheeks so make sure to properly moisturize beforehand
- Satin finish(?)
- Lasts about 4 hours before blotting is needed
- I used this during my 'better skin' days so I can't really say how well this covers breakouts, sorry
Sulwhasoo Perfecting Cushion in 23 Medium Beige (AMOREPACIFIC)
- SPF50+/PA+++
- A bit lighter than my skin tone, huhuhu (shades of higher-end AP brands like Sulwhasoo and Hanyul tend to be lighter, so yeah); there's a shade 25 so maybe I'll try that next pero ano ang gagawin ko dun sa refill ko, haha
- Makes my skin look really, really smooth (flawless ang dating, sana nga lang perfect ang shade match)
- Dewy
I have the following in my stash, hindi ko pa sure kung anong isusunod ko:
banila co. White Wedding CC Cushion in BE20
BEYOND Stay Long Micro Foam Cushion in 02 (LG)
ETUDE HOUSE Precious Mineral Any Cushion in W24 Honey Beige (AMOREPACIFIC)
innisfree Long Wear Cushion in 23 True Beige (AMOREPACIFIC)
Missha Signature Essence Cushion in 23 Natural Beige
VERITE UV Multi Cushion LX in 23 Cover Beige (AMOREPACIFIC)
AP is releasing newer cushions across all brands (HERA, Lirikos, innisfree, IOPE, etc.) Mas manipis na ata kaya hindi na magkakasya 'yung older refills. Bagong formula na rin daw.

Mga sis, may nagreretouch ba talaga sa inyo throughout the day using your cushion?
