An innovation that is the air cushion , a relatively new product in the market (well, not really. I think this was raved about a year ago or 2 years? I don't know exactly) that is the IOPE Air Cushion Sunblock EX
All in one product (Brightening Essence + UV Protector + Makeup + Cooling)
Nothing can best describe air cushions than it is a BB cream in a compact.

Packaging
It comes in a box, then wrapped in a plastic inside
It comes with a folded paper inside (like the one you find inside a liquid medicine--like cough syrup yes) that has all the needed details about the product like so:
Skin expression? What does that exactly mean?
The compact is super sturdy, it has a sponge separator and mirror inside. The equally innovative (blue) sponge minimally absorbs the product so that much of the product goes into your face. It is recommended to apply the product in a patting motion than swiping it all over to your face.
Offers a no-makeup, dewy look (almost oily), but not so much on the coverage department. Lasts for 3-4 hours on me at least because it is super hot and humid here and I frequently touch my face. Not recommended for oily skin as it become oilier and sticky the longer it stays on your face. If setting powder will make it last longer and combat the oiliness, that is however not recommended for this product as it will melt and the 'brightening effect' will not take into place. It is best when used alone, of course you can set it with powder but it will be of light coverage.
Color
I got mine in 21 Ice Vanilla - Bright and splendid skin expression
The shade is too light for me though.
*It smells so good, but too fragrant so for people who are sensitive with the smell do take note of that. I definitely prefer this more than the usual BB cream because it is easier and lesser messy to apply. And it is compact so it comes handy you can easily bring it anywhere. It also has SPF so it has the sun protection you need and no need to worry about frequent sun's exposure.
