IOPE Air Cushion Matte Longwear Foundation in "N21": Review and Swatches

Disclaimer: The product featured was provided for review.

While browsing the Korean makeup selection on Althea Korea, the IOPE Air Cushion range really caught my eyes. The cushion trend has been around for a few years now but I've only recently started appreciating its merits. Given that the IOPE Air Cushion is one of the most popular cushion foundations on the market, I thought I'd give it a try. The brand offers several different kinds of cushion foundations (ex. Intense Cover, Natural Glow, Moisture Lasting) but because it's summer and I have oily skin, I opted for the Air Cushion Matte Longwear SPF 50+ ($32.50 USD on sale). This version of the Air Cushion promises a hydrating but long-lasting wear and a matte but radiant finish. So how well does it work? Read my review to find out......
