Bruh, did no one notice that every one of the cushion foundations NAMES are of badass queens? Like, I'm talking warrior women, women who rebelled, women who were leaders. THAT is empowering. Look them up, any of them, have a fun read!
Lol, y’all should have been done that. Have you seen Korea? That’s like a pearl white woman getting mad at an Kenyan or a Moroccan brand for not having colors light enough for her. Or even black radiance, their color range is atrocious.
"Black? "Y'all still self-identifying your ETHNICITY as a color which aside from the absurdity of doing so one that has no legal standing under U.S. law? AND you're different tones of BROWN as well? But, yes it's good to hear that WOC own and operate DIBA #Aninunwiya # Yamassee #Algonquin
adjanic As absurd as it sounds, this self identification isn't going to completely change anytime soon. This mentality, this 'culture', has been ingrained in us for centuries. It's very arrogant of you to try to put these people down for not completely disassociating themselves from a culture that was forced on them for MANY generations. At least these people know that they were brainwashed and are actively trying to change it. All you're doing is spreading negativity.
I got you! Try Missha Mild Essence Sun Milk sunscreen. It does not leave a white, gray, or blue cast! Your makeup at the end of the video is amazing! I'm excited for this product, I think I'm Yaa Asantewa . Update: The shipping cost will hurt your feelings. Just a FYI. I still want it though...
Nessa0482000... am between a Llinga or poku, but they don't have my undertone which is 'warm' , if I were to chose any it wouldn't necessary match, but I still want it too!!! Looll😍
They have a page called Find Your Shade underneath Shop, where they compare their shades with other brands. I originally thought I was Llinga, but according to that page I'm more Yaa Asantewa. However, I didn't see warm undertone pass Makeda.
Nessa0482000 yeah I went there on their page I follow using the huda beauty faux filter which am a (540) but the llinga is (530) and the puko is (550), I guess they don't think darker skin people don't have a warm undertone. I had the inniesfree 43w chocolate (cool) which was actually point on to my skin tone but that give me the pinky/reddish undertone 🤷🏾♀️
@Juliza Romain I'm sorry the product didn't work out for you. To me it's a holy grail. As you can see from the photo I'm dark skinned and the product didn't leave me with any white cast. If anything it leaves me with radiant skin. Also, I have combination skin mainly on the dry side.
My battery is 10% and dropping even tho it's charging so let's see if it survives :) Edit: It's going up! It's 11% now Kennie you are giving my battery life
namaisluv It's my tablet actually but you are not wrong haha it's nearly 7 years old and my phone is a $20 one I've had for years too so I only use it for the time and sometimes a call
Saw the thumbnail in my notification box and was SHOOK. And I went on the website and was extra shook at the amount of beautifully brown skin women on it
Makeda Reign AHHHHHH ANOTHER MAKEDA! I'VE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER ONE! I'm sorry, in all my 23 years never met or spoken to another. I legit got scared seeing my name too, felt exposed, plus it's close to my skinetone.
OK I’m happy as hell for this but I still don’t really have a shade because the lightest they have looks extremely dark in the photo reference for me and I can’t use a Korean cushion because it’s really pale so I’m hoping that they will expand the shade range for those who are kind of in between but it’s a really good head start and I’m very excited for it
I have looked into it to but they are really cool tone but my skin is very warm so it pales me out very bad I have a weird skin tone but thanks for the recommendation
Some dark skin friendly suncreens (no white cast): Biore Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50+/PA++++ COSRX aloe soothing Sun cream SPF 50+/PA +++ Shiseido Urban Environment UV Protection Cream Plus SPF50 Avène (have a line of sunscreens). Gothamista has some helpful videos on sunscreens fyi. Ive tried and tested SO MANY and these ones (especially biore) have been my go-tos. Hope this is helpful💕
neutrogena hydroboost water gel lotion sunscreen is a good cheap american option that you can find in cvs, or if you want a kbeauty option the biore watery essence is good too. im dark skin and these go on basically clear. they're chemical sunscreens though so be mindful of that.
There is a sunscreen called “Black girl Sunscreen”. They gave an Instagram. I haven’t tried it but maybe you can try it and do a review as it is made specifically for people of color!
this is honestly amazing. I’ve always wondered if they were gonna make cushions for the more darker skin tones and I’m so glad they did- even if I’m not part of that community. I am a person of color however and I’ve always struggled to find a TAN cushion. I hope this brand can continue making amazing products for people of color and hopefully expand for the medium,median tan spectrum. ALSO I love you so MUCH! Such an inspiration when I do my makeup❤️❤️
Dude I just want you to know you always get me in an amazing mood, happy, comfortable, laughing like a queen and I love for what you stand for wether that be how stupid people can be or big things like makeup (problems?lol).. lOVE YOUR MAKEUP!!!!!! LOVE YA GIRL!! 💛💛✨😩😌😍❤️💛💛✨
Oh my goodness, Kendall, thank you so much for reviewing this! Can you believe I literally just stumbled upon this a week or two ago after exhausting the youtube search for "cushion foundation for dark skin"? I thought I would just have to hype it up all on my own since it's not making ripples like I thought it would. However, it had only been a few weeks😅😅😅. Anyway, I love your channel and flock to new videos like birds to feed. Your really funny, sweet, and genuine, and I enjoy seeing that on youtube.
Your skin is like Crown Jewels, I can not with your flawless ass complexion!!!!! Like damn I know you did one recently but I want another skin care update b/c I want a slay that sleighed omg 💖💖💖💖💖
I wanted to try innisfree cushion, but i tried the darkest shade (which you demo) and was hella disappointed. Im a bit darker than you and wish most kbeauty brands had more shade range. Im am definitely supporting this
I just saw you on an advert for these guys!! They showed part of this video and did before and after I hope they asked you for permission but girl!! You slayed enough to be on their advert!!
For suncreens that don't leave a purple cast try the Biore Sarasara UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence 2017 version or the Nivea Japan Perfect Water Gel Spf35 (this one's for face and body)
Hey! Do you use maybelline fit me? Which is your shade? I’m tryna compare so I know what shades to use in the foundations and concealers you recommend.
Omg I’m so happy. I’ve wanted a cushion FOR SO LONG! Being a guy, I need need ways to touch up my foundation during the day and my current foundations aren’t easy to do that with.
Hi kendall! If you still haven't found a sunblock i suggest trying the glossier invisible shield sunscreen. It's a water-gel type formula so it should do you well without the white cast. Hope this helps sis!
IT WAS ABOUT TIME! I was checking the website and god, the models look amazing! Maybe if they are successful, they might come up with refills and other skin tones because we know we are very diverse in colours but as a start, it is fantastic. Keep updating us with your thoughts about it
I really liked the finish! I'm not a huge fan of full coverage, I like the natural/dewy look so I was glad when I saw that glow 👍🏼 I wish it came in my skin tone though since it's so affordable.
Kendall!! The Earths Recipe Waterful Sun Gel doesn't leave a white/blue cast as far as I know. It is really lightweight and thin, and disappears into the skin. You should give it a try!!
Love it and you! Thank you Kennie! I’m so hyped to try this now XD Do you think you can do a review of the Lancôme cushion? I heard they have a good shade range as well.
Hey Kennie, there is a sunscreen that is made by Bolden. It's made with darker skin tones in mind and doesn't make you look blue or ashy. It's called SPF 30 BRIGHTENING MOISTURIZER on their website.
Kennie! If you haven’t already, you should try CosRx Aloe Soothing Sunscreen! It doesn’t leave a white/blue cast, doesn’t cause any acne and is very lightweight.
Bruh, did no one notice that every one of the cushion foundations NAMES are of badass queens? Like, I'm talking warrior women, women who rebelled, women who were leaders. THAT is empowering. Look them up, any of them, have a fun read!
I was noticing that too!
Yuuuuuup.i was like "Oh snap! Somebody was geekin out with pride during the naming of these shades" lol
It's black owned, for black people AND a cushion!!!!
This is what pay day is for
Shynell Vaux I know right. Instead of hoping that Korean brands make something for us we should just support those of us who already have.
Lol, y’all should have been done that. Have you seen Korea? That’s like a pearl white woman getting mad at an Kenyan or a Moroccan brand for not having colors light enough for her. Or even black radiance, their color range is atrocious.
DiscoEzra The difference is, those Kenyan brands aren't in Korea trying to sell to Koreans. Do you see the point?
"Black? "Y'all still self-identifying your ETHNICITY as a color which aside from the absurdity of doing so one that has no legal standing under U.S. law? AND you're different tones of BROWN as well? But, yes it's good to hear that WOC own and operate DIBA #Aninunwiya # Yamassee #Algonquin

OneOddFeather You need a new phone
namaisluv It's my tablet actually but you are not wrong haha it's nearly 7 years old and my phone is a $20 one I've had for years too so I only use it for the time and sometimes a call
I like being called a home skillet biscuit more than i should tbh
gurlllll when you said "lets read the claims!" it reminded me of obama. you for the people ily (brb gonna finish the video now)
I just have to say you are literally the nicest person I've ever met. Pls come back to Kcon next year ;-;
Shi Eun Lee definitely plan too!
The models on that site looks so freaking stunning!
Love your personality 😂
Jewliana Layshay Agreed

Saw the thumbnail in my notification box and was SHOOK. And I went on the website and was extra shook at the amount of beautifully brown skin women on it
I was like "they named the cushion Foundation makeda after me" and my sister was like "no that's Just the name of the foundation"lol
Makeda Reign AHHHHHH ANOTHER MAKEDA! I'VE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER ONE! I'm sorry, in all my 23 years never met or spoken to another.
I legit got scared seeing my name too, felt exposed, plus it's close to my skinetone.
Broooo, I bought Aminatu just cuz that’s my name lol
OK I’m happy as hell for this but I still don’t really have a shade because the lightest they have looks extremely dark in the photo reference for me and I can’t use a Korean cushion because it’s really pale so I’m hoping that they will expand the shade range for those who are kind of in between but it’s a really good head start and I’m very excited for it
lexis 333 Have you tried Innisfree? This range seems to pick up where they left off lol
I have looked into it to but they are really cool tone but my skin is very warm so it pales me out very bad I have a weird skin tone but thanks for the recommendation
Try innisfree, they have some good medium shades!
Maybelline has a good array of shades in their cushion foundation (:
lexis 333 L'Oréal, wet n wild, Maybelline have good medium warm shades in their cushion foundation lines; Have you tried them?
That's my NAME! I've never seen anything advertise an Ethiopian name before 🤗
Makeda A all the names are of African queens
Dylan Hemmings even better!

Did you try the Biore Watery Essence sunscreen? It doesn't give me a cast and I'm a tad darker than you.
Kpop0223 agreed I use that essence too and it’s THE BEST!
Is that a mineral or chemical sunscreen ?
Was gonna suggest the same. No cast at all.
Mary-Jane O. chemical
Kpop0223 I've been through 4 tubes. It's the truth. No oily film either. 👊
neutrogena hydroboost water gel lotion sunscreen is a good cheap american option that you can find in cvs, or if you want a kbeauty option the biore watery essence is good too. im dark skin and these go on basically clear. they're chemical sunscreens though so be mindful of that.
