Rebooted = Makeup tools on a usual basis
Around Christmas last year, I received Laneige BB Cushion as gift and immediately, I raved about it here. Recently, a Korean friend recommended me to try IOPE Air Cushion and that's when I found out there are so many brands of cushion foundation in the market.
Honestly, I know nuts about technologies. In fact, IOPE looks pretty similar to Laneige on their packaging. Since, a Korean highly recommends it, thus I made my order through Amore Pacific in Qoo10 and I got it in Natural 21.
So what's the verdict after trying out the 2 different major brands in Korea? It's quite difficult to see the difference when I first applied. I did not see that dewy glow on my face, which I was quite worried it will make my face look oilier, but it's that hydrated look that many girls are loving it. It brightens my skin better, but it could be because I am using a darker shade for Laneige.
It was by the end of a long long day that I know I prefer IOPE Air Cushion as my face did not look like it has oxidised. The foundation stays and I could feel its hydrating benefit is working on my oily combination skin. The longer I am using it, the more I like it.

These days, above are what I basically use everyday before stepping out of the house. Simple, powder-free and really convenient. Even without the rest, I will not leave home without eyebrow pencil and foundation.
Update [28/07/2014]:
Just want to update a little on the Air Cushion. I have been rotating between Laneige and IOPE, and I think I had a conclusion. IOPE has a feeling linger on the face after a whole day. It could be that hydrating effect, which I mentioned. However, Laneige has an immediate soothing effect and it lasted the whole day feeling like no make up on. Thus, I will go back to Laneige on my next purchase. :)
