MISSHA COVER GLOW CUSHION SPF45 PA++ 14g #25 Tan: Medium Coverage With SPF in Tan Shade

This is MISSHA's Cover Glow cushion foundation in shade 25 Tan, designed for medium-deep skin tones. Cushion foundations are a Korean beauty innovation (credited to Amorepacific in 2008) that has since gone global. The format combines foundation, sunscreen, and skincare in a sponge-pump applicator, delivering buildable coverage with a dewy finish. MISSHA's Cover Glow cushion emphasizes luminosity with glow-boosting ingredients alongside SPF45 PA++ protection. At $52 for 14g, this is mid-premium cushion pricing.

Shade 25 Tan is one of the deeper shades in the MISSHA cushion range, suitable for medium-brown skin tones. Korean cushions have historically run lighter and cooler than Western foundations, but extended shade ranges have improved significantly in the last 5 years. Tan shades like #25 expand access for users who previously struggled to match Korean cushion formulations.

What It Does

Light-medium coverage foundation evens skin tone while allowing natural skin visibility. Glow-boosting ingredients (often pearl extracts, light-reflecting particles) create a luminous finish. SPF45 PA++ protection contributes baseline sun defense (though not sufficient as standalone SPF; layer with proper sunscreen). The cushion format allows precise buildable application, from sheer wash to medium coverage depending on layering.

Who It's For

• Medium-deep skin tones (Tan shade): Primary shade match.
• Dewy finish preference: Glow-focused formulation suits radiant makeup looks.
• Quick morning makeup users: Cushion format is fast and forgiving.

• Touch-up users: Portable cushion fits makeup bag.

FAQ

Is SPF45 PA++ enough sun protection?

Not as standalone SPF. Apply a dedicated sunscreen (SPF50+ PA++++) before the cushion for proper sun defense. The cushion's SPF is supplementary; you won't apply enough cushion to reach full SPF claim coverage.

How does shade #25 Tan match?

Suited for medium-brown skin tones with warm to neutral undertones. Shade matching across the Korean cushion market runs slightly cooler than Western foundations; Tan #25 is typically comparable to MAC NC35 to NC40 range. Test if possible before committing.

Will it oxidize throughout the day?

Most cushions oxidize slightly (darken) over 4 to 8 hours of wear. MISSHA's formulations tend to be relatively stable but some oxidation is expected. Choose a shade slightly lighter than your perfect match if oxidation is a concern.

How long does 14g last?

With daily use, 3 to 4 months. Users who use full-face coverage daily may finish sooner; users who apply only to T-zone or touch up spots last longer.

Does the cushion come with refills?

MISSHA typically offers refill cushions for compact reuse. Check current availability; refills typically cost 60 to 70% of the full cushion price.
