I swapped my foundation for a £23 K-Beauty buy that gave me instant glass skin

A beauty writer has swapped her full-coverage foundation for a K-Beauty cushion foundation that delivers the coveted 'glass skin' look. The Milk Touch All-Day Skin Fit Milky Glow Cushion, priced at £22.90, is available at Superdrug and PureSEOUL.

After seeing K-Beauty cushion foundations trending on social media, the writer decided to try the Milk Touch version. From the first application, she noticed how the foundation melted into her skin, evening out her complexion while still looking natural, unlike fuller coverage foundations that can feel cakey.

The cushion gives a fresh, natural glow without feeling heavy or greasy, achieving the 'glass skin' effect synonymous with Korean beauty. The sponge applicator makes it easy for touch-ups on the go, and the lightweight formula doesn't settle into fine lines throughout the day. For fuller coverage, the writer recommends swapping the sponge for a dense foundation brush to build coverage.

However, for those with oily skin, the writer notes that a powder on top is necessary to prevent excessive shine and movement throughout the day. Despite this, she understands the obsession with cushion foundations, which are leading the K-Beauty trend.
