것What it is

Foundation soaked into a sponge inside a compact, pressed on with a puff. Amorepacific launched the first one, the IOPE Air Cushion, in March 2008, and created the category: by November 2016 the group had sold a hundred million cushions worldwide. Every Korean cosmetics brand makes one now.

하는 법How to do it

Press the puff into the sponge, pat it onto the skin, do not rub. Shades are numbered on the box; ask for a tester and try it on the jaw. Refills are sold separately.
