There are 4 types of finish/texture you can choose from the 2016 version:

Matte Long Wear > for matte and bright skin without shine.
They are available in shades:
Warm tones - W21,W23
Natural/Neutral tones - N21, W23
Cool tones - C13
Price: 42,000 won / 15g+15g
I ended up choosing the intense cover #N21.
IOPE has decided to go for younger design as the cushion case is said to look like macaron. The upper part which holds the mirror is really slim and have a copper ring on it while the bottom part holds the foundation as usual. The colour of the ring depends on the types of the cushion --- silver (natural glow), blue (lasting moisture), copper (intense cover) and white (matte long wear). It comes with a case with cushion embedded and a refill which I consider as a good deal since it's comes with two. The packaging box is so classsyyyyy~
My shade is #N21 natural beige. It has an air lock on the right side when you open the cushion which prevent evaporation/drying of the foundation. So, you need a little effort to open the plastic separator to reach for the foundation, and make sure you lock it properly when you close the separator to avoid early drying of your foundation.
As you can see from the picture above, the sponge has been improved to 3D type where you can see the small bumps (looks like a beehive for me ^^). The 3D sponge makes it easier to pick up the foundation as it is evenly spread over the puff. I like this sponge so much as it's really ease the application~ lol! But my friend who have trypophobia is not a fans! ><
The size of the puff is slightly smaller than the usual cushion puff as you can see from the picture above. However, it doesn't affect the application.
sorry for my dirty puff >.<
The upper white part of the puff where we lay our fingers has a leather-like appearance and texture.
The application at different lightings:
It has a flowery scent which eventually goes off after a while (5 min?). I am a bit disappointed on the coverage as I had high expectation on its "intense cover" ability. The coverage can be layered to medium but not high enough to cover blemishes perfectly, I still need a good concealer for the blemishes/dark acne scars. It is able to cover the redness of my skin. It gives a radiant finish. It is moisturizing and did not emphasize my dry patches (I have dry skin!). For those having less pigmented blemishes, you will find this enough to cover your imperfections.
However, I tend to reach for this cushion when my skin is in good condition. I have once staying outdoor for hours under the sun (Malaysia is hot and humid!!!) wearing this cushion foundation and it does melt a bit but in a beautiful way while about 70-80% of the foundation still adhere on my skin! What a surprise! BUT I don't think it will the same on oily skin!
Pros:
+ moisturizing
+ radiant glow
+ long lasting on dry skin
+ medium coverage which enough for little imperfections
+ easy content pick up (3D sponge)
+ air lock that prevents evaporation
Cons:
- not high coverage as expected
- not for oily skin in hot and humid weather (oily skin can try the matte long wear type!)
Overall, I really like this cushion as it 'hugs' my skin so well and lasts a good time! My skin is so photogenic when I put on this cushion foundation. Definitely the best cushion foundation that I have tried. I can understand the hype of this cushion foundation in Korea now :)
Ladies! Grab the ones suit you among the four now! Strongly recommended!
Till then, 안녕!
