Autumn 2026 K-beauty: five steps from matcha wash to tinted cushion and glow powder

An optional routine grounded in original Korean Innisfree, TIRTIR and HERA instructions, from cleansing to a light powder finish.

Allure Korea September 2026 video: Innisfree, TIRTIR and HERA product roundup · Allure Korea · YouTube

Allure Korea's September 3, 2026 video features Innisfree Matcha Green Tea Powder Wash, TIRTIR Tinted Skin Glow Cushion 12N Cloud and HERA Reflection Skin Glow Powder 01 Glow. This is a magazine's product roundup, not independent testing or a complete application tutorial. You need not buy all three; use only what suits your skin. As of November 1, 2026, TIRTIR Korea lists ‘10sku’ while its global official page promotes ‘30 Shades’. A Goodai Global Japan distributor announcement dated August 12 listed six launch shades (three online-only), whereas today's indexed Japanese brand homepage contains seven selectors including 23N. These figures reflect different sources and dates, not proof of current inventory. Japan's official website says its direct checkout ended May 15, 2026. Confirm stock, ingredients and labeling with the actual seller.

  1. 01

    Check Korean product names and the video's date

    Match the September 2026 Allure Korea selections against official Korean manufacturer pages. TIRTIR Tinted Skin Glow Cushion is not Mask Fit Red Cushion; HERA Reflection loose powder is not Black Cushion Mesh Powder.

    Use matcha powder wash only if appropriate

    Innisfree describes its Matcha Green Tea Powder Wash as a water-activated enzyme-containing cleanser. Check the package, lather a small amount with water and rinse gently without scrubbing. If sensitive or irritated, stick with a familiar mild cleanser.

    Moisturize and apply separate sunscreen

    Apply a moisturizer that suits you if needed and use a separate sunscreen according to its instructions during the day. The Korean TIRTIR cushion is labeled SPF40 PA++, but a thin cosmetic layer alone is not reliable sun protection.

    Tap on a little TIRTIR tinted cushion

    TIRTIR Korea lists the 16 g tinted cushion in ‘10sku’ including 12N Cloud. Use a clean puff to tap on a light layer. The global page's ‘30 Shades’, Japan's announced six launch shades (three online-only), and the seven selectors including 23N in the indexed Japanese homepage must not be conflated. The Japan brand site no longer takes direct orders; verify current stock and the label on the bought product. No personal shade test was done.

    Finish selectively with HERA glow powder

    HERA's Korean Reflection Skin Glow Powder listing is 8 g with 01 Glow and 02 Lavender Glow. Gently shake the container, press a puff onto the mesh and lightly tap only areas that need setting, such as the forehead or cheeks. Close the lid securely until it clicks. HERA Korea also cautions first-time users to peel away the removable inner label slowly to avoid loose powder scattering when opening. **Artist demonstration:** Amorepacific Stories published HERA BX Team makeup artist Minkyung Cha's technique in October 2026, showing a small amount applied over the central cheeks, forehead and outer face. [See the first-party article and its original demonstration](https://stories.amorepacific.com/en/amorepacific-how-do-trends-come-to-life-in-makeup/). The footage remains in the original page's separate video player; it is not copied or embedded here. This is a brand artist's example, not independent evidence of performance. HERA Japan also instructs lightly rolling the puff over its mesh; follow the packaging in your market.

✦ Helpful tips

  • The roundup is not a verified demonstration of each of the five steps.
  • Effects, shades and local product variants differ; these are not independent wear-test results.
  • No fixed five- or ten-minute routine duration is claimed.
  • The Japanese distributor announced six launch shades, but the currently indexed Japanese homepage lists seven selectors including 23N. The 23N addition date and present-day inventory are unverified.

ⓘ Keep in mind

  • Stop if itching, rash or stinging develops and seek professional advice if it persists.
  • Keep powdered products away from eyes; wash hands and keep puffs clean.
  • Do not substitute thin SPF-labeled makeup for separate sunscreen.
  • Open the HERA powder carefully and peel the inner seal slowly; keep loose powder away from the eyes.
