Frequently Asked Questions
What finish do Japanese cushion foundations provide?
Most Japanese cushion foundations deliver a natural to dewy finish, creating the coveted "tsuyahada" (glossy skin) look that is a hallmark of J-beauty. The coverage is typically light to medium and buildable — you can layer for more coverage without it looking heavy. Some matte-finish options are also available for those who prefer less shine, particularly suited for oily skin types.
How long does a Japanese cushion foundation compact last?
With daily use, a standard Japanese cushion foundation compact typically lasts 1-2 months. Many brands sell refill pucks separately, making them economical and eco-friendly. Store your cushion compact closed tightly after each use to prevent the formula from drying out. Replacing the sponge applicator every few weeks helps maintain hygienic application.
Can I use cushion foundation without a separate primer?
Many Japanese cushion foundations are formulated with built-in primer properties, including pore-blurring and smoothing benefits. However, using a separate primer can extend wear time, especially in humid conditions. A lightweight Japanese primer or sunscreen underneath works well as a base. The beauty of cushion foundations is their simplicity — skincare, SPF, and coverage in one step.
Does Tsujimoto Market ship cushion foundations internationally?
Yes, Tsujimoto Market ships all Japanese cushion foundation products worldwide directly from Japan. Items are carefully packaged and 100% authentic. Standard shipping takes 5-14 business days depending on destination.
