Many of my Korean friends uses cushion on their daily makeup because its easy to apply and time saving. Since IOPE created the BB air cushion, Korean girls have all started using it and almost every Korean cosmetics brand has launched their own air cushion. In this case, it's really hard to discuss which brand works best. Because basically products that in well known brands can not be too bad, therefore your guys can choose the most suitable products based on different needs and skin types. I brought 46 cushions in following years and I am going to tell your guys my feeling of using some of these products.
⭐ Aqua finish cushion -- It is most lightweight type of cushions and most luminous. However, this type of cushion also have lightest coverage and are more like tinted moisturiser, such as VANT and the N series of IOPE cushion foundation.

The Cushion Collection
Before we start, I would like to mention some points:
⭐ Skin type: Dry skin and sometime oily in T zone. Therefore, I only can give some tips to those very dry and dry skin combine my subjective using experiences. If you are other skin type PLEASE also looking for other recommendations to make your final decision.
⭐ Because I am really into GLOSS FINISH of base makeup. Therefore, most of my recommendations are glossy. But I also have some matte finish cushion in my favourite list.
Summary of Cushion Types:
⭐ Porcelain finish cushion -- As shiny as aqua finish, but have more coverage and more brighten than Aqua finish cushion, such as W. ab Honey Air Cushion and C series of IOPE cushion foundation.
⭐ Cream finish cushion -- Meaning that the skin finish is more creamy and smooth as cream. The texture of this type of cushion foundation is a bit thicker than aqua base makeup and have medium to high coverage. E.g. MISSHA and W-snow CC Cushion.
⭐ Pearl finish cushion -- It contains pearl burnish when finishing base makeup. It is more moisture and oily than other cushion and this type of products does not suit for the oily skin. E.g. Dr.Althea and Whoo.
⭐ Matte finish cushion -- Really suit for oily skin. E.g. VIDIVIC.
