If Korean skincare gave the world glass skin, Korean makeup gave us the tool to wear it out the door: the cushion compact. One elegant case, one puff, and a few gentle presses deliver that fresh, luminous, "my skin but better" look K-beauty is famous for. And RIMAN's entry is a beautiful one — the ICD Makeup Luminous Glow Cushion, a true skincare-makeup hybrid with buildable coverage and a glowy finish, available in five shades at $61.12 (pay-in-4 at $15.28).
In this guide, we cover what makes cushion foundation such a K-beauty icon, what is inside this particular compact, how to pick your shade, and how to use it for an effortless everyday glow.
Why Cushion Foundation Is a K-Beauty Icon
The cushion compact was born in Korea and changed base makeup everywhere: a liquid formula soaked into a cushion sponge, applied with a puff instead of brushes or fingers. The genius is in the method — pressing (rather than rubbing) melds makeup into skin for a naturally radiant, even-looking finish, builds coverage exactly where you want it, and travels anywhere for the fresh-faced touch-up that liquid bottles simply cannot offer. It is base makeup designed around real life: quick mornings, small bags, and the desire to look dewy at 4 p.m., not just 8 a.m.
What Is ICD Makeup Luminous Glow Cushion?
The ICD Makeup Luminous Glow Cushion is RIMAN's take on the category — described on the page as a perfect blend of skincare and makeup. Here is what defines it, straight from the product page:
- Buildable, light, dewy coverage. A luminous formula that helps brighten the look of skin while reflecting light in all the right places, settling into a comfortable, semi-matte, flawless-looking finish that keeps the complexion looking clear and bright without caking or cracking.
- Perfect adherence, fresh all day. Two types of silica powder help balance the look of sebum without drying, so makeup stays feeling fresh and comfortable.
- Skincare in the formula. Every shade carries RIMAN's exclusive Giant BYoungPool — a proprietary Centella Asiatica strain grown on Jeju Island's Smart Farm — for a moisturized, supple, radiant-looking base, alongside niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate, adenosine, pearl powder, and tremella mushroom extract in the ingredient list.
- Five shades: 17 Fair, 21 Light, 23 Natural Beige, 25 Tan, and 27 Deep Tan.

How to Choose Your Shade
The lineup runs from fairest to deepest: 17 Fair for the lightest complexions, 21 Light for light skin with a touch more warmth, 23 Natural Beige — the classic middle shade and a safe start for many medium tones — then 25 Tan and 27 Deep Tan for deeper complexions. The product page includes a shade-matching guide with swatches on a range of skin tones; when between two shades for a glow product like this, most makeup lovers size toward the closer match to their jawline so the luminous finish reads as skin, not as a mask.
How to Use ICD Makeup Luminous Glow Cushion
Before Applying Makeup
Cushion formulas love a hydrated canvas. Complete your skincare first — the glow reads best over moisturized skin — and let your final skincare step absorb for a minute before reaching for the compact.
Application Steps
Press the included puff lightly into the cushion, then apply a thin layer gently over the entire face — pressing and rolling rather than dragging. Want more coverage? Simply apply additional thin layers where you need them; the formula is designed to build without caking or cracking.
Touch-Up Tips
This is where cushions shine: the compact and puff go wherever you go. Midday, press a whisper of product over the T-zone or anywhere makeup has faded — a five-second refresh that revives the luminous finish without starting over. No brushes, no mirror gymnastics, no spilled foundation in your bag.
Beginner Tip
Less is the whole trick. One thin pressed-on layer looks like skin; a heavy swipe looks like makeup. Start lighter than you think you need — you can always build, and the buildable formula is made for exactly that.
Daytime Skincare Reminder
Finish your morning skincare with a broad-spectrum sunscreen before your cushion. A protected glow is a lasting glow — and your evening cleanse will thank you for keeping the layers orderly.

Cushion vs. Liquid vs. Tinted Moisturizer vs. Powder: Which Base Is Right for You?
| Makeup Type | Best For | Benefit | Consideration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cushion foundation | Glowy everyday looks; on-the-go touch-ups; K-beauty fans | Fast, even, buildable application with a radiant finish — compact, puff, and mirror in one case | Coverage builds in thin layers; full-coverage lovers may layer more |
| Liquid foundation | Custom coverage from sheer to full; long makeup sessions | The widest range of finishes and coverage levels | Needs brushes or sponges, and is not touch-up friendly on the go |
| Tinted moisturizer | Barely-there coverage; minimalists | The lightest, most skincare-like feel | Minimal coverage that cannot build much for evening-out |
| Powder foundation | Oily-looking skin; quick matte finishes | Fast application and shine control | Can emphasize the look of dry patches and lean flat rather than luminous |
Why Cushion Foundation Works Well in a K-Beauty Routine
- It creates the soft, glowing-looking finish K-beauty is built around — light-reflecting, even, and fresh rather than heavy.
- It applies quickly and evenly. The puff-press method blends in seconds and slips into the busiest morning.
- It builds gradually. Sheer where skin is happy, another layer where it is not — coverage that adapts to your face, not the other way around.
- It refreshes your look all day. The compact travels, so your 4 p.m. face can look like your 8 a.m. face in five seconds flat.
- It pairs beautifully with hydrated skin. Cushion glow amplifies a well-moisturized skincare routine — the better your ritual, the better this looks.
- It delivers polished-but-natural. The everyday K-beauty ideal: skin that looks finished, never done.
