When Irish beauty journalist Triona McCarthy gives something her seal of approval, we listen. In a recent column for the Irish Independent, Triona dives into the new era of foundations that offer real skincare benefits — giving a nod to SkinShop.ie as a go-to for Korean complexion heroes like the Genosys Blemish Balm Cushion SPF50. And she’s not wrong. This little cushion compact is one of the best-kept secrets in Korean Beauty — and it’s finally getting the recognition it deserves.
Why Korean Skincare Make-up Is Having a Moment
K-beauty is known for innovation — and not just in serums and essences. Korean make-up is designed to work with your skin, not against it. Instead of layering heavy foundation on top of sensitised skin, these formulas calm, protect and perfect your complexion in one step.
Think: skincare-first formulas, dewy finishes and breathable coverage that still looks like skin.
Meet the Genosys Blemish Balm Cushion SPF50
At SkinShop.ie, one of our most-loved Korean make-up products is the Genosys Blemish Balm Cushion SPF50. Here’s why it deserves a spot in your daily routine:
- Broad-spectrum SPF50 to protect your skin from everyday sun exposure
- Buildable, natural-looking coverage that won’t cake or cling
- Soothing and hydrating ingredients, making it ideal for sensitive, post-treatment or redness-prone skin
- Cushion format for quick, mess-free application and easy top-ups on the go
- Refillable compact, so you can stock up without the extra waste
If you’re over foundations that feel too heavy — or tinted SPFs that don’t do enough — this is the sweet spot.

We also have to mention the TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion, another Korean innovation that’s been making waves on social. It offers slightly higher coverage than the Genosys formula, while still delivering that lightweight, second-skin finish Korean make-up is famous for. Perfect for those who want a flawless base that still lets their skin breathe.
