TIRTIR Red Cushion: All 40 Shades, Review and Where to Buy

There is something satisfying about a foundation that comes in its own compact, ready to pat on with a puff. TIRTIR’s Mask Fit Red Cushion adds another attraction: coverage that can make redness and dark spots less noticeable without a separate bottle and brush.

We would put it on the shortlist for oily or combination skin when coverage is the priority. For dry, flaky skin, or an under-eye area where makeup easily settles into lines, it would be a lower-priority choice. Start small until you know the shade and finish suit you.

At a glance

Price & sizes: TIRTIR Global lists the full size at USD 20.00 on sale (regular USD 25.00) and the mini at USD 15.00, including 21N Ivory (checked October 18, 2026). Shipping and taxes are calculated at checkout. Ulta lists the full size at USD 25.00, and Olive Young Korea’s listing for an 18g compact is ₩29,000 (₩23,200 on sale), both checked October 28, 2026.
Shades: 40 on TIRTIR’s global store and at Ulta, from 10C Shell to 55N Espresso (the Amazon listing in the TIRTIR store advertises a 40-shade range); Olive Young Korea’s listing shows 20. Full chart below.
The appeal: High coverage in a portable compact, especially for redness and dark spots.
The drawbacks: Dryness, creasing, and shade changes appear in wear accounts. Long wear is not consistent.
Best for: Oily or combination skin when coverage matters more than a barely-there finish.
Our take: Try the shade kit or mini first. Dry or textured areas deserve a particularly careful trial.

Meet the Red Cushion

This is Mask Fit Red Cushion, the cushion foundation with an included puff—not TIRTIR’s Red Foundation or another cushion in the range. The global listing checked for this guide described a semi-matte finish, high coverage, and 40 shades.

The puff makes it easy to take the compact along for touch-ups. There is a lot of coverage available, though, so a gentle press is a better starting point than loading the puff heavily.

Your usual shade number is only a starting point

A Korean reviewer who normally wore shade 23 bought 23N Sand first. They liked the thin layer’s coverage and half-day wear, but found it yellow in sunlight. Their next purchase, 21N Ivory, suited them better.

That does not mean everyone who wears a 23 should move to 21N. It means that depth and undertone matter more than matching the number on your old foundation. Daylight can also reveal something your bathroom lighting misses.

Compare a sample along your jaw and with your neck, then take another look indoors and in daylight. The brand’s trial kits contain six shade sachets within a chosen range, making them the more useful starting point when you are between shades.

All 40 shades: how to read the numbers and letters

TIRTIR’s global store lists 40 shades for the Mask Fit Red Cushion, from 10C Shell to 55N Espresso, and Ulta lists the same 40; the Amazon listing in the TIRTIR brand store advertises a 40-shade range (checked October 28, 2026). Olive Young Korea’s online listing for an 18g compact shows 20 shades, so the full range is easier to find from the brand’s own site or US retailers than in Korea.

The number is depth: 10 is the lightest and 55 the deepest. The letter after it is the undertone family. TIRTIR’s product page does not publish a legend, but retailer listings and the shade names read C as cool (21C Cool Ivory), N as neutral (21N Ivory) and W as warm (13W Cream). Not every number comes in all three letters.

The 40 Mask Fit Red Cushion shades, as listed on TIRTIR’s global store on October 28, 2026
Depth band	Shades (code and name)
10–17 (lightest)	10C Shell · 13C Fair · 13N Fair Ivory · 13W Cream · 15C Fair Porcelain · 17C Porcelain · 17N Vanilla · 17W French Vanilla
21–25	21C Cool Ivory · 21N Ivory · 21W Natural Ivory · 22C Peach Beige · 22N Shell Beige · 22W Sheer Beige · 23N Sand · 24N Latte · 24W Soft Beige · 25N Mocha

40–55 (deepest)	40N Cinnamon · 43N Deep Cocoa · 45N Saddle Brown · 45W Chestnut · 47N Ebony · 51N Fudge · 55N Espresso

The bands are our grouping by number so the chart reads on a phone; the brand sells the shades as one list.

21N, 23N or 27N?

The wear accounts in this guide mention 21N Ivory, 23N Sand, 27N Camel and 29N Natural Beige. In the one Korean account that compared two shades, a reviewer who normally wore a 23 found 23N Sand yellow in daylight and was happier with 21N Ivory; that is one person, not a rule, and the 27N and 29N accounts are about how the color held up during wear, not about which number to pick. If you sit between two numbers, a trial is the safer way to decide: the brand’s product page has a Find My Shade tool, and the six-shade trial kits cover one depth range each.

Does the color turn darker or orange?

It can, according to some wear accounts, but it is not a consistent experience. A 29N wearer with combination skin and dry cheek patches reported no noticeable darkening over a thin layer and primer. A 27N wearer described a quick shift to orange, while an Ulta reviewer said a shade labelled Warm Ivory became yellow-orange within four hours.

There are two different disappointments here. A shade that looks wrong immediately may be the wrong depth or undertone; a good initial match that changes later is a wear issue. Keep both in mind during a trial, especially before committing to the full compact.

A quick photo after blending and another a few hours later in similar light can help you separate the two.

The coverage is appealing; the finish needs to suit your skin

The Korean 21N reviewer liked the spot coverage but found the finish matte on their dry skin, with creasing under the eyes and beside the nose. A dry-skinned Ulta reviewer also described settling around the nose, mouth, and eyes despite adjusting skin prep and the amount used.

That is why we would be cautious if your main concern is flaky skin or fine lines. One PureWow editor got a smoother result after restarting over a rich moisturizer, but extra prep does not make this a dependable choice for every dry complexion.

Wear on oilier skin varied too. The Aesthetic Edge’s oily/combination, acne-prone reviewer reported 8–12 hours of wear and credited much of the limited oil breakthrough to their skincare. A Stylist writer liked the initial redness coverage, then saw some redness return around the nose after several hours.

PureWow editors also reported fading or extra oil at around five hours. For everyday wear, a shade and finish you enjoy through your normal day matter more than the 72-hour headline.

A little on the puff goes a long way

The brand directions say to press the puff into the cushion, adjust the amount on the lid, and pat from the center of the face outwards. Start lightly, then add a little more only where you need it. The fingertip photograph shows texture, not a suggested amount for your face.

If a small patch of redness still shows, a targeted concealer may be more comfortable than adding another full layer. Our guides to The Saem Tip Concealer and Triple Pot 01 vs 03 explain those options.

Keep a separate sunscreen in your morning routine. Neither the global product page nor the Ulta listing checked for this guide mentioned SPF; regional packaging can differ.

Mini first, full size when you are happy

Choose the trial kit when shade is the main uncertainty. Choose the mini when you have a likely match and want to live with the finish. Ulta listed the mini at 0.15 oz, compared with 0.63 oz (18g) for the full size; the brand says they share the same formula.

Our recommendation is a small first purchase for coverage-focused oily or combination skin. Once the shade stays flattering and the finish feels comfortable through your day, the full compact makes more sense. If dryness or creasing is already your biggest makeup frustration, we would not make this your first choice.

Amazon US: the Mask Fit Red Cushion listing in the TIRTIR brand store (paid link) carries the shade range in one listing. When we checked, the buy box seller was a third-party store rather than TIRTIR itself, so confirm the seller and the shade name before ordering. Ulta: USD 25.00 for the 0.63 oz full size, with all 40 shades listed (checked October 28, 2026). TIRTIR Global: the brand’s own store, with the shade finder, the mini and the trial kits; it shows prices in local currency (USD 20.00 on sale and 25.00 regular when checked from the US on October 18, 2026). Olive Young Korea: its listing for an 18g compact is ₩29,000 and was on sale at ₩23,200 on October 28, 2026 (about USD 17 at ₩1,350 per dollar), with 20 shades online; a 4.5g mini listing is ₩17,000, on sale at ₩13,600.
