How to Choose The Perfect Tirtir Cushion Shade For You

Wrong shade? We don't know her.

If you have spent some time scrolling through BeautyTok (i.e the beauty side of TikTok), then you're probably familiar with the red, egg-shaped cushion compact that's all over everyone's FYP. Even before it went TikTok-viral, the Tirtir Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation was already the number-one best-selling foundation in Japan.

Users who have tried and loved this cushion sing praises for the product's ability to camouflage everything — and we mean everything, from breakouts all the way to birthmarks! Most full-coverage foundations can normally feel heavy on the skin, especially for daily use. Tirtir's magical formula, however, has a featherweight feel to it and leaves just the right amount of glow to make your skin look healthy, not oily!

Part of the Tirtir cushion's rise to fame can also be attributed to their impressive shade range. After receiving critiques about their initial range on offer (As of 2023, the foundation was only available in three fair to medium shades!), Tirtir set out on a redemption tour by expanding their shade range throughout 2024. As of now, October 2024, the foundation is now available in an impressive range of 40 shades!

How to find my shade for TIRTIR cushion foundation?

Despite the hype, we understand how you might be a tad apprehensive at giving a new foundation product a try if you can't shade match in a physical store. Not to worry though, as TIRTIR now has a solution: a trial kit!

Each kit contains 6 shades which have been grouped together according to skin tones (Light/ Light-Medium/ Medium/ Medium-Deep/ Deep), making it easier for you to find your perfect shade.

If you're the tech-savvy type, another option you can consider is to try out Tirtir's "Find Your Shade" filter, which is available on both Tiktok and Instagram. You can simply:
