Sulwhasoo Perfecting Cushion is a luxury Korean cushion foundation from the prestigious Amorepacific house, blending skincare heritage with makeup performance.

Coverage & Finish: Medium, buildable coverage with a semi-matte, radiant finish—balancing dewiness with oil control. Designed to even skin tone and blur imperfections without a heavy, cakey feel.

SPF & Skincare: SPF 46 offers daily UV protection. Formulated with hydrating actives aligned to Sulwhasoo's ginseng-based skincare ethos, though specifics are marketing-forward.

Shade Range: Limited to a handful of shades (37 Maple shown); lacks the inclusive depth-to-fair range of mass-market competitors like TIRTIR or Laneige.

Best For: Mature, combination, or normal skin seeking a premium, skincare-first cushion—those willing to pay luxury pricing and accept a narrower shade selection.

Price: $75 / $70.75 per oz is upper-tier; no refill listed, reducing per-use value.
