How many time you refuse to put on makeup before you know your skin is oily and makeup will melt in our Malaysian humid weather?
Thanks to waterproof mascara and eyeliner, even under hot sun or rain, they looks perfectly fine. As for face, I'm pretty blessed with normal to dry skin combination but there are times where weather are so hot that my skin sweat and becomes oily. I hate that foundation melted and it becomes patchy. How I wish there is a foundation that is sweat proof or have oil control formulation.
I was given THEFACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ to put to test on our Malaysian weather which I was very excited to try out.
If you don't know yet THEFACECHOP is one of the leading cosmetic brand in Korea with more than 2,600 stores in 29 countries worldwide.
And I can't help to notice their brand ambassador Kim Soo Hyun who is from the STAR! His face looks so freaking flawless here... OMG... I think nicer than mine! Let's see if I can achieve flawless look like this!
THEFACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ (RM88.93 / 15g) is a new innovative type of makeup product that contains whole liquid foundation in a hard foundation case by using microfoam™. This Cushion promises to deliver perfect makeup look from morning to the end!
A sebum controlling, matte cushion foundation for summer and great for people with oily skin.
THEFACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ *LG Patent “Micro Foam” is 4 times denser than usual polyurethane sponge. The micro foam is a non-drying contents which will keep its moist-full contents and provide even application for non-clumping effect.
THEFACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ provides 3 main benefits i.e Moisture Charge, Sebum Control and Long Lasting Ability.
As some of you might know, Cushion Foundation is very different from our usual foundation because it's the ALL in ONE product that you need because it a sunblock (with SPF50+ PA+++), foundation, concealer and powder & pact giving you light and fresh application.
It's really simple to use THEFACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ as I just need to press the puff applicator to the cushion and lightly pat onto whole of my face. Within a minute I'm done , so easy to use!
I can feel cooling effect as I pat the puff on my skin and it did not dry out my skin even though the ingredients eliminates oily shine because it provides a moisture fix within the skin!
So here is my review of the THEFACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion V203 Natural Beige with before & after picture!
I applied THEFACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ on the right hand side as I am impressed with the huge difference. Coverage is quite good I would say.
A close up before & after picture.
As you can see my skin colour immediately looks more even, dark spots / pigmentations are reasonably covered giving it a fresh coverage. And I can see the pores are cleary minimized!
Love the matte coverage! And it did stay all day long and even under hot weather, it did control the oil and does not melt the makeup away! Although I don't really have oily skin but this foundation does not dry me up, which are great!
Since my foundation is done, I finished up my look with THEFACESHOP makeup as well. Let's see if I can create a Korean insipred look with this!
THEFACESHOP Dual Baked Shadow OR01
A dual baked type shadow using terracotta technology to minimize fly-away powder and naturally adhere to skin giving your eyes a sophisticated shimmer.
Very pigmented and easy to blend. Very shimmering hence need to be careful when applying this eyeshadow. I prefer to use my fingers to blend.
THEFACESHOP Freshen Volumizing Mascara in Black
Is formulated with inorganic powders and water-soluble FIX-UP POLYMERS for fast-drying, superior setting, and natural looking curls. A twisting bullet-shaped brush: with special criss-crossing, zigzag shaped brush applies mascara evenly while providing a double lift for each lash to avoid clumping so that lashes look clean and natural.
This is pretty easy to use so far I have not experience any smudges even under hot weather. It does provides a little bit of volumizing effect to my lashes.

THEFACESHOP Ink Graffiti Brush pen liner in 01 Ink Black
An easy-to-use pen liner provides bold and intense look with ink-jet formula which adds sheen to your eyes while polymer coating helps to maintain defined look.
Like how the tip is very thin & colour is very black, so easy to draw a thin line on my eyes. It's smudge proof and stay perfectly on my eyes all day long!
This is the result of using THEFACESHOP products above!
THEFACESHOP Soft Cream Blusher 02 Coral
A soft cream type blusher that provides delicate radiance to cheeks with smooth creamy texture. I use my fingers to blend on my cheek. The colour is a little light hence I need to put more to build up the intensity.
THEFACESHOP Ink Liquid in CR01 Coral Chu
A new type of lip color that is lipstick, lip gloss, lip tint melted into one. Love the lipstick effect that gives rich melting texture, tint effect that provides long lasting brilliant color and gloss effect that gives dewy and sparkling luster. It really lasts me the whole day!
Here is my full look using the above THEFACESHOP products! I love the fresh and flawless Korean makeup look!
So do I pass as a Korean now? Annyeong-haseyo ~
Now I always carry THEFACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ (RM88.93 / 15g) in my bag because it's really great for Malaysia humid weather plus the result are pretty amazing! I would recommend you to do touch up after going under the sun to restore the full sun protection effect. And I would highly recommend this to people who has combination/oily skin or always go under the sun because it really effective in eliminates oily shine and provides a moisture fix within the skin!
