I love that! Honestly though, even if it’s marketed in Asia, there should still be a wide range of shades. Korean makeup is so popular in the Philippines, where a majority of people are not that pale. But I guess that’s where the “skin lightening” products come in 🙃 As a Filipina, I’ve always wanted to try Korean cushion foundation, but I thought there would never be a shade for me
Yes always find it odd that an Asian brand marketed in Asia the biggest continent in the world and has the widest range of skintone but only has pale shades? If they want to make it exclusive to Korea and East Asia then just market themselves there
Literally Monica and darci are doing free consulting for these brands, like if you want to expand outside your home market you have to cater to the local population, if you want a successful business that is.

@iryna1722 come on, please please go to another comment to spread your propaganda. TirTir is not relevant to this comment thread. This nice comment refers to Dr.Gio a BLACK OWNED KOREAN BEAUTY BRAND. 🙄
Tirtir expanded their shade range!! Darcei a black makeup influencer did a video with new shades recently and honestly im impressed! Love how tirtir is taking customer feedback!
I feel like people dont understand that foundation is supposed to go underneath other makeup. Its a base. Its supposed to look like the neck and chest and the rest of the body, then you put your other stuff on top. This is a really good coverage and its a good color. Maybe a little dark but it definitely can be her summer shade.
People don't understand that inclusivity helps everyone. Most korean shades are darker on me and the only shade 13 that I could wear was casket ready grey on me. This brand has developed the shade 13 in two undertones. Of course I'm going to give it a try. I didn't before because 17 is always too dark. Also I'm always going to pick a brand that's willing to spend coin on developing all shade ranges.
Exactly. Ppl tried defending them but I always commented that they shouldn’t be marketing their product to Americans bc of the various shades of Americans. It’s nice to see they know how to take criticism and improve their product based on what they’re told
It's looking dark because you have put too much product on. When applying a Korea cusion you have to put very sheer layers. Firstly, you have to press in then entire puff for equal distribution of the product not the edge. Secondly, you have to pat off the excess on the back of the lid over the cusion...
@nthabisengsello6428 it's definitely saying something. It's saying that their original shade range was unacceptable for a brand pushing itself in an international market.
all the shades i’ve seen look very warm toned. actually as someone with very light cool toned skin this is kind of a struggle for me with korean foundations in general. even if they are light they usually seem to be warm toned. western foundations only recently have started addressing undertones widely though tbf so it might be a reach for me to want that lol i think tirtir has shades that claim to be cool but they still look warm to me
Theyre not, they even get lighter tones and you can see they dint match the face and necks most if the time because looking "whiter" is the beauty standard, even whitening creams but they do have some who are daker, and even darker Asians in their country get bad treatment a lot
@@Manilove223I visited Korea twice and each visit was under 3 weeks but to you don’t know what your talking about, both Korean men and women have naturally light and thin skin, you think they put on a pound of makeup just to look pale? Because it’s really hard to completely blend in the wrong makeup shade and I don’t think it’s like most Korean women do that everyday
We're tan, but we're not that tan tbh.. The foundation colors match with my tan grandma and my really pale friend, but they definitely should broaden there range if they're reaching towards a American audience since there's like a whole different variety of people here
i'm so glad they took the criticism well and are coming out with more shades. considering how there are even tan native koreans, i'm glad this brand has taken the step in the right direction to be more inclusive for their local and international consumers! i don't really wear foundation since it's usually heavy on the skin but i hear cushion foundations can help with that so i'm excited!!!
Us South Asians living in East Asia watching all the comments 'justifying' not expanding shade ranges like 🤨 When they first came out, they didn't even start putting all the Fenty shades out (let alone stocking them in-store). Even though I see plenty of East Asians who are darker than me 😂😅
Honestly, respect for the brand when they admitted they messed up when they decided to market their foundation outside of korea, and fixed the issue in a reasonable amount of time.
True, if you are planning to market it in the us, where fenty changed the game, you should consider having deeper shades. I "get" if the company only has lighter shades because it wants to keep it in Korea, where having pale skin is more value and important, even tho there are people with darker shades anyway. But that's the standard. Also, sometimes these companies expand their makeup to other parts of Asia where there are darker shades, regardless if the standard is pale skin, they still deserve a wide range of options.
So happy that influencers like you are so vocal about brown skin friendly products which pressurises brands to make brown skin friendly products ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Now that I know they have a wider shade range that is more inclusive, I’ll give them a try. I only shop brands that have a diverse range for all make up users. Thanks for the update on Tir Tir.
As a brown girlie who can't find her shade in shops, seeing these developments makes me happy because it means more people can share the experience of being able to use a good product.
I’m glad you said ‘and taking it to the US market’. So many people seem to forget the logistics behind a product and its marketing. Korean brands go viral when a woman with a lighter complexion finds an amazing formula that matches while travelling Korea and then brings the info to Tiktok. Then when loads of darker complexion women try it, the poor brand gets cancelled for not having enough deeper shades when they weren’t even marketing in the US/ Western market. For information, Korea only has 6k darker skinned women residing there, a country of 51.6 million people. (0.01%). The market is not large enough for them produce the make up in deeper ranges as it will most likely never sell. Thats why when they do go viral, they’re quick to release more shades to fulfil the needs.
I somehow feel like the tone is different from your real skin, maybe the undertone? Idk, also the finish doesn’t look the best, until you showed the final look after powdering, it kind of looked heavy and caked in the try on.
i think perhaps she may have been dabbing the cushion too much into the foundation (if you get what i mean)? usually with this type of product you lightly dab at the foundation, since it's high coverage. idk tbh i can't see how she's putting it on the cushion😭 i'm most likely wrong
I'm white and live in Korea (lifer.) What a lot of people don't think about when they retort "Well duh it's light it's a Korean product made for Korean skin colors" is that Korea actually has a large population of non-Koreans (I refuse to ever use the word "foreigners") from all over the world... Not just people who come to teach English but there are so many people here from South and Southeast Asia who come for all sorts of reasons: marriage, higher education, jobs. The same reasons people immigrate to Western countries. Those people live here and contribute to society by working hard (literally most aspects of the manufacturing industry would grind to a halt if not for migrant workers and due to the low birth rate there are fewer students than ever so universities are BEGGING for international students or else they will have to close down) so why shouldn't they have ready access to products that fit them? It is often difficult and expensive to source and import your usual products from your home country and Korea literally NEEDS people to sustain its economy so inclusive foundation tones is like...the absolute bare minimum.
What’s really funny is the Korean brand’s darkest shade is actually the most common shade! Many Asian people wear foundations several shades lighter than they actually are. Countries that are almost sub tropical (closer to the equator) will naturally have darker complexioned natives because they’re closer to the sun! A lot of tan skin denial goes on in these asian countries.
IMO, their initial target demographic was Korean skin tones. However, as they expanded their products globally, they found unexpected success. Now, they're scrambling to accommodate a wider range of skin tones, likely without sufficient research and development for these new demographics will take time to get it right. Despite the challenges, they are listening and making efforts--so CALM down folks.
@@EIIy Yes! It was her! I felt like the positivity, uh, was about as on point as the foundation match was(n't). I assume they're getting paid very well for these videos, but... Don't love it 😬
Guys I think it's also important to understand that a company does not HAVE to do anything. They're not forcing you to buy their products it is 100% your choice and 100% their choice who they market to.
I just hope they expand the shade more for the crystal cushion. The red one is amazing, but it gets dry after a few hours. And it clinged on dry patches around my chin area. So if you have a dehydrated skin (i am combi but dehydrated) this one may nor be for you. Or opted for a hydrated primer and setting spray and prep your skin well.
Thanks for putting me on! The korean brand I used to get was perfect but got discontinued a few years ago, and I've been making my own cushions since. I'll give this a try.
as a korean american im too dark for maybe 90% of korean foundations 😭 the colorism is soo bad. im glad there are at least a few brands which are starting to include darker skin tones & i hope kbeauty & korean society continues to be more inclusive of a greater range of skin tones 🫶bc honestly i already pretty shocked by how dark this brands darkest shade was at launch 😭 normally it's 3 shades of white off white light beige
Omgggg u did a review! I love it! I got 33C and it oxidizes (my ONLY concern as a coloured consumer) so it becomes too dark but 29N is too light. Im waiting because they r going to release even more shades!!!❤❤❤❤
It looks nice and olive for your undertones. And in summer it will match even better. Plus you can get even more snatched and glam with brighter concealer under eyes.
Ooo you went a little heavy handed on the application and you might like the finish more if you did two lighter layers since this is full coverage and the stuff looked really wet once you covered your face
I bought this cushion foundation 2 months ago and it is fire. I love it so much I stopped using my high end foundations because this one is jst the best. Totally recommend
Ya I totally agree with this I seen this foundation all over the internet and I don’t understand why there marketing these foundations as shades for people deeper skin tones as well cause there not so definitely need to be fixed and soon cause this crazy
I also wish that more k-brands were doing more shades for lighter complexions as well. Most of the light shades are paper white or horribly pink undertone 🫠
So I saw a make up artist show how to use the cushion foundation and he said you should slide two fingers under that ribbon part and the middle finger should be on top of the ribbon so you have even pressure. He said you should tap it once lightly and you should not see any foundation on the cushion, but when you apply to your face, you will have the amount that you need to cover your entire face
It's darker in the pan, trust me. You can tap off the excess on the inner cap and slowy build up.It's medium to full coverage. Also it will slightly oxidize.
I've been saying this for a while but she does the wrong kind of color correction. She corrects with colors that are opposite of what she'd trying to hide on the color wheel, and when you do that, the result is straight up grey. I don't think she should be giving color correction advice 😬 She tends to color correct her chin and jaw and I'm pretty sure that's why it looks ashy
Idk if she used setting powder after putting the foundation on (I'm guessing maybe!) but it could be that, powders sometimes give off that ashy color in some angles
@@taylorg2320 Color correction is to use the opposite shade of hyperpigmentation to remove it. And she didn't even color correct here to show the foundation. When you DON'T color correct, you will look ashy.
Tip to using cushions CORRECTLY, alot of korean cushions are designed to be a touch up product, so to get the most wear out of them when you put product on the sponge tap off a little on the back of the closing container (the little black divider that holds the sponge) and then put it on and u can use the tapped off product if you need more. When you apply it so directly it can look super cakey in real life and also not set properly leading to ur base smudging.
I mean I completely understand where ur coming from buttt they are a Korean brand… probably not a world wide kind of makeup brand so I would expect stuff to be for lighter skin tones but you are also correct saying that they marketed it as a U.S. brand like for people in the US to also use it so I agree with that.
I'm so confused. Yes it's a Korean makeup brand marketed for Koreans and unfortunately in Asia it is a thing where people prefer to be lighter than they are, they don't tend to make much "darker" shades as they won't sell. Believe me they're darkest ones have been the lightest ones in the western industry for me
Did u not watch the video. She literally said that this brand PURPOSEFULLY markets in western countries and as a result then they SHOULD have darker shades if they’re going to do that.
It's just that they're targeting western market but they're not inclusive... But overally, Korean makeup is really good. I wish brands like Clio, Rom&nd or PeriPera also start targeting European/American market and sell their products in local drugstores. I'm pale girl with cool undertone and it's hard for me to find foundation because women in Europe tend to wear foundation with yellow undertone and that's what drugstores sale. Korean brands are my savior.
I find it amusing how people in comments are discussing whether not having darker shades offered in Korea would be fine or not. Like, if it’d be the US or Europe no one would have a doubt that they should offer darker shades. And yes, Korea has lover immigration rate, but that doesn’t make their skin tones homogenous. Dunno if any of you ever went there but there are especially many foreigners coming from other parts of Asia who have darker complexions and there are also variations among Koreans. If a brand desires to sell to as many people as possible, they need to have a wide range of shades. Doesn’t matter where in the world.
One thing is texture and Other is cakeyness, this just looks like the lady has texture on her skin (acné, pimples, etc) and i dont think it is greasy,just with a luminous finish, but if u dont like that u can use a powder to matify it
I bought it from Japan a while back and i bought a mini version because i didnt know it is that good. 😂 This is so good that i yave given up all my Foundations and Concealers, only regret i have is i didnt buy the bigger version.
Also fam they’re coming out with more shades in June/July too! Super stoked to see inclusivity even in kbeauty now 🥹

Countries that are almost sub tropical (closer to the equator) will naturally have darker complexioned natives because they’re closer to the sun! A lot of tan skin denial goes on in these asian countries.
Tirtir is so good when it comes to the shade range, but also means you have to go a shade up due to how much it oxidises
IMO, their initial target demographic was Korean skin tones. However, as they expanded their products globally, they found unexpected success. Now, they're scrambling to accommodate a wider range of skin tones, likely without sufficient research and development for these new demographics will take time to get it right. Despite the challenges, they are listening and making efforts--so CALM down folks.
Omg I'm so excited I might cry!!! I've been so jealous of everyone who got to use this foundation
I bought, and the darkest one, 43N, is almost exactly my skin tone ❤❤❤
Wrong undertone
I saw a different creator who is Black try a different shade in the extended range and the undertones didn't look great on her either 😬
@@arghleblarghle Miss darcei ? Because for both I find it weirdly too... green almost ?
It's the right undertone. You can see how it matches her neck perfectly and foundations are meant to match the neck not the face.
Yeah it’s green. She put foundation on her neck first so it blends better, but still looks green. I honestly thought it was a joke review.
@@EIIy Yes! It was her! I felt like the positivity, uh, was about as on point as the foundation match was(n't). I assume they're getting paid very well for these videos, but... Don't love it 😬
Guys I think it's also important to understand that a company does not HAVE to do anything. They're not forcing you to buy their products it is 100% your choice and 100% their choice who they market to.
It’s really orange.. too bad they don’t have olive/neutral undertone browns
For everyone saying it's not her shade:
It matches her neck and foundations are meant to match your neck not face. It's literally her perfect shade!
I just hope they expand the shade more for the crystal cushion. The red one is amazing, but it gets dry after a few hours. And it clinged on dry patches around my chin area. So if you have a dehydrated skin (i am combi but dehydrated) this one may nor be for you. Or opted for a hydrated primer and setting spray and prep your skin well.
Thanks for putting me on! The korean brand I used to get was perfect but got discontinued a few years ago, and I've been making my own cushions since. I'll give this a try.
i hope they keep expanding their range
as a korean american im too dark for maybe 90% of korean foundations 😭 the colorism is soo bad. im glad there are at least a few brands which are starting to include darker skin tones & i hope kbeauty & korean society continues to be more inclusive of a greater range of skin tones 🫶bc honestly i already pretty shocked by how dark this brands darkest shade was at launch 😭 normally it's 3 shades of white off white light beige
That's not your shade
she knows that
@@youbetterstannewjeans Does she? I missed that part. My bad
she said it would be good for her in the summer, the northern hemisphere homies havent had a ton of time to tan yet lol
Thank you so much for everything Monica! You are the only influencer I trust to give us good reviews 😊
Omgggg u did a review! I love it! I got 33C and it oxidizes (my ONLY concern as a coloured consumer) so it becomes too dark but 29N is too light. Im waiting because they r going to release even more shades!!!❤❤❤❤
Second plan of action: undertone correction.
Yea cuz that looked green.
Agreed :( @@cpc061
She has olive skin, plus she matches to her neck
@@cpc061 y'all are too funny😂😂 some people say it looked green some say it looked orange, make a decision because that's literal opposites, lmfaoo
It looks nice and olive for your undertones. And in summer it will match even better. Plus you can get even more snatched and glam with brighter concealer under eyes.
girl I just searched the tir tir cushion yesterday this is such a coincidence 😭
Ooo you went a little heavy handed on the application and you might like the finish more if you did two lighter layers since this is full coverage and the stuff looked really wet once you covered your face
I’m so glad they got more shades :))
Hopefully when they come out with even more shades in June or July they would have my shade. Can't wait!
I bought this cushion foundation 2 months ago and it is fire. I love it so much I stopped using my high end foundations because this one is jst the best. Totally recommend
Ya I totally agree with this I seen this foundation all over the internet and I don’t understand why there marketing these foundations as shades for people deeper skin tones as well cause there not so definitely need to be fixed and soon cause this crazy
Im a fair skinned individual so luckily I dont have issues with Korean foundations but i feel bad for darker individuals
I also wish that more k-brands were doing more shades for lighter complexions as well. Most of the light shades are paper white or horribly pink undertone 🫠
Your make up looks cakey though
So I saw a make up artist show how to use the cushion foundation and he said you should slide two fingers under that ribbon part and the middle finger should be on top of the ribbon so you have even pressure. He said you should tap it once lightly and you should not see any foundation on the cushion, but when you apply to your face, you will have the amount that you need to cover your entire face
It's darker in the pan, trust me. You can tap off the excess on the inner cap and slowy build up.It's medium to full coverage. Also it will slightly oxidize.
Now this is how you improve your shade rang. Youthforia take notes
Dark for you better shade you need
Try tapping it on the other cushion to make it blend easier it will also just make it easier to use overall
The lighter shade would have worked for highlighting areas. The dark shade is too dark on you, unfortunately. Maybe mix them?
It looked amazing initially but in the last clips it seems a little bit ashy on the lower side of your face. It just maybe the shade.
I've been saying this for a while but she does the wrong kind of color correction. She corrects with colors that are opposite of what she'd trying to hide on the color wheel, and when you do that, the result is straight up grey. I don't think she should be giving color correction advice 😬 She tends to color correct her chin and jaw and I'm pretty sure that's why it looks ashy
Idk if she used setting powder after putting the foundation on (I'm guessing maybe!) but it could be that, powders sometimes give off that ashy color in some angles
@@taylorg2320 Color correction is to use the opposite shade of hyperpigmentation to remove it. And she didn't even color correct here to show the foundation. When you DON'T color correct, you will look ashy.
Tip to using cushions CORRECTLY, alot of korean cushions are designed to be a touch up product, so to get the most wear out of them when you put product on the sponge tap off a little on the back of the closing container (the little black divider that holds the sponge) and then put it on and u can use the tapped off product if you need more.
When you apply it so directly it can look super cakey in real life and also not set properly leading to ur base smudging.
It does seem a little darker for u but once it oxidized w/ ur skin it looked so good😩 I would love to see u do a shade match
I mean I completely understand where ur coming from buttt they are a Korean brand… probably not a world wide kind of makeup brand so I would expect stuff to be for lighter skin tones but you are also correct saying that they marketed it as a U.S. brand like for people in the US to also use it so I agree with that.
I love how Darci supported them to make new shades
Korean brands are great quality, thats why we need more range of shades for all consumers who value korean products.
Wait did she say the shade she used or did I miss it 😩
You gotta dab the pad on the black part of the component before you apply to your face, and build it up. That makes it last longer, and oxidise less
Thanks to my girl Darcei ❤❤❤❤❤
What shade did you buy?
Guys, the shade is 40N Cinnamon. I went to her shop thingy link and checked
What shade did you use in the video?
They are coming out with more colors!!
Which shade is this one?
I'm so confused. Yes it's a Korean makeup brand marketed for Koreans and unfortunately in Asia it is a thing where people prefer to be lighter than they are, they don't tend to make much "darker" shades as they won't sell. Believe me they're darkest ones have been the lightest ones in the western industry for me
Did u not watch the video. She literally said that this brand PURPOSEFULLY markets in western countries and as a result then they SHOULD have darker shades if they’re going to do that.
It's just that they're targeting western market but they're not inclusive... But overally, Korean makeup is really good. I wish brands like Clio, Rom&nd or PeriPera also start targeting European/American market and sell their products in local drugstores. I'm pale girl with cool undertone and it's hard for me to find foundation because women in Europe tend to wear foundation with yellow undertone and that's what drugstores sale. Korean brands are my savior.
what shade are you wearing??
Great! I am waiting for my shade to come out!!!
THIS IS MY FAV SONG OMG
I find it amusing how people in comments are discussing whether not having darker shades offered in Korea would be fine or not. Like, if it’d be the US or Europe no one would have a doubt that they should offer darker shades. And yes, Korea has lover immigration rate, but that doesn’t make their skin tones homogenous. Dunno if any of you ever went there but there are especially many foreigners coming from other parts of Asia who have darker complexions and there are also variations among Koreans.
If a brand desires to sell to as many people as possible, they need to have a wide range of shades. Doesn’t matter where in the world.
I don’t know why Korean brands are always so light… Like, it’s HOT and sunny in Korea, which means you’re gonna get a lot of tan, right??
it looks greasy and cakey though
One thing is texture and Other is cakeyness, this just looks like the lady has texture on her skin (acné, pimples, etc) and i dont think it is greasy,just with a luminous finish, but if u dont like that u can use a powder to matify it
It is too dark and the undertone seems off. It looks green on your face.
I live TirTir!i can't Wait for them to have my shade one day! None of the current ones match me 😭 the pink concealers ALMOST match me
I bought it from Japan a while back and i bought a mini version because i didnt know it is that good. 😂 This is so good that i yave given up all my Foundations and Concealers, only regret i have is i didnt buy the bigger version.
Mix both shades. Great foundation.
Girl not everyone has money like that that’s such an inconvenience 😂
@@No-qb1qb she already has it! I wasn’t meaning that’s what people should do.
omg i was waiting for your review of this before buying it so yayyyy
