We’re back to bring you our new review on April Skin’s new item Magic Snow Cushion 2.0, which is the best-selling item of April Skin and Style Korean! People continue to rave about how they love this cushion. Anna, a Style Korean editor, also bought one and now here for you with her honest review after using it for a month.
April Skin’s original Magic Snow Cushion Black gained recognition from customers or its superior quality. In this new release, the moisturizing & coverage effect is upgraded! Infused with more than 45% of water-based serum, you can feel that it provides more moisture than other cushions that have coverage effect. Also, there is another difference in packaging, so let’s take a look and get started!
First, the packaging became matter and simpler compared to its old version. The difference is subtle, but Anna preferred 2.0 with its glamorous and luxurious finish. The enclosed puff also has been strengthened, so it won’t tear or fall apart. She loves other lovely Korean cosmetics such as April Skin’s Fixing Cushion, but she prefers this design. It’s Totally her preference!
The Magic Snow Cushion 2.0 sponge is a special mochi type, which protects the content in a hygienic way from exposure to the air. Anna pressed it to show you the texture. It felt like pushing a piece of chiffon cake with whipped cream. Anna chose color #21, because of its brightness as you see. This cushion has perfected color, not too much pink base or yellow based, this balance caught her attention. She suggests color #22 for those who have a lighter Asian skin tone, and color #23 for those with a little darker skin tone. If you don’t prefer a glowing make-up effect, it’s recommended you mix a concealer of a dark color because its overall bright tone.
To show you April Cushions’s famous coverage strength, Anna drew on the back of her hand with a lipstick and an eye liner, then patted just a tiny amount of the content… and…. PERFECT COVERAGE! It was so surprising that it offered such light and moist application with this high coverage.
Of course we gave it a try onto her face. Isn’t it so amazing? Anna has an oily skin type and some blemishes on her cheeks. The acne scars and dark areas around the lips are raised, but have been disappearing since she began using Medicube items. She applied a little amount of the content on the puff and with a few pats, they were completely gone! Other Style Korean’s editors using this cushion said its coverage is so powerful that it can cover flush, dark circles under the eyes and even freckles.
