Asian cushion foundation comparasion and interchangable refills 2015 - 2016

2015 - 2016 cushions
Originally, I was going to named the title, "Korean cushions", but I have 1 Taiwan brand, so I changed it to "Asian cushions" instead. Plus since there wasn't much blogging on which refills can interchange into which brands, so I decided to do it. Hope it helps someone out there!

I have separated my winter cushions and my summer cushions.

The winter ones here are the first half (will do part 2 in a couple of months) has more moisture.

1. IOPE XP Air Cushion sunblock N23 - all amorepacific in this post fits with each other.
2. Sulwhasoo Perfecting Brightening - doesn't fit into any other brands that I have.
3. HERA M&D UV Mist Cushion Ultra Moisture SPF34 15g - all amorepacific in this post fits with each other.
4. Clio Kill cover Cushion Founwear 04 Ginger - I couldn't remove the cushion our of the case-I really tried! I prefer this one more in the summertime.

 

Sorry, I switch the places for Hera and Clio in the pictures above.

5. #2 [ Hanyul ] Luminant Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ 15gx2 - $25 - surprising it fits into the Hera

6. N23 [ HERA ] UV Mist Cushion 15g x 2 - $33 - all amorepacific in this post fits with each other.
7. A'PIEU Air Fit A'pieu Cushion XP SPF50+/PA+++ / #23 - fits into the Hera, but Hera doesn't fit into a'pieu
8. Miss Hana #1 Warm Beige Radiant - too lose for Hera and MissHana cushion didn't fit into Hera.

 

My favorite is Hera UV mist ultra moisture for the winter.
The Sulwhasoo is the closest color with my skin but in my opinion I think it's better for people over the age of 30. So I gave the refill for my mom to use and she liked it a lot.
Kill Cover is perfect for all season, I used the refill during the winter months and it felt like a second skin. It doesn't rub off as much as the others. The Clio and Her UV mist ultra were the ones that I reached for the most!

Miss Hana Radiant Cushion Compact Foundation 1-Warm Beige SPF 50+++

Miss Hana Radiant Cushion Compact Foundation
shade-1-Warm Beige SPF 50+++

It was $399NT in Taiwan's 86shop in Kaohsiung.
About US$15 for 1 cushion-no refills.

  

I did not want to buy a Taiwanese cushion foundation on my recent trip because I knew absolutely nothing about Taiwanese brands.

I took a risk because I was in Taiwan and wanted to see how their product differ from the South Korean ones that I usually purchase. Since Taiwan has warmer weather conditions than South Korean, the cushion foundation should be matte.

I used it once during the winters in NYC and I used this cushion these past few days when it's about 75F degrees in NYC and it's perfect for the summer.

Moisturizing - not enough for my combination skin during the winter but ok for the summer.
Coverage - light
Wear - matte
Dewy Glow - none
Lasting Power - good for 6 hours
Oxidizing - none
Scent - I don't like the scent. A little bit of chemical and alcohol
