Kanvas Beauty

We’ve said it a million times and we’ll say it again: TIA’M is just so underrated! Every product from this brand is a banger, including their Vita B3 Niacin Sun Cream. It goes beyond just UV protection. The formula incorporates 2% niacinamide - which is about the percentage we’d say is excellent for soothing and redness reducing. There’s also alpha-arbutin and tranexamic acid to address dullness and dark spots. Best of all is its texture - it’s light and airy, with a lovely dewy finish. Oily skin can use it as a standalone moisturiser, while skin on the dry side can layer it on top of their day cream. There’s no white cast, and it won’t pill under makeup.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT TONERS WERE A WASTE OF TIME

Now, I’ve got a confession: TIA’M’s My Signature Vita B5 Toner was the FIRST one I’d ever purchased. Brands recommended them, sold them in sets, people with glowing skin exulted them, but I still wasn’t convinced: Honestly, I thought they were just fancy water and a waste of money.

I started to doubt my conviction after getting deeper into K-Beauty, where toners are an essential step. And I heard something I hadn’t heard of before – they’re essential to your skin absorbing water-based ingredients (like hyaluronic acid) and can produce results on their own. I saw very convincing before-and-after photos, and my colleagues swore by them and my friends loved them. But I still wasn’t completely sold.



UNTIL MY SKIN WENT H.A.M.

I thought about how toners can help your skin better absorb the goodies from the rest of your skincare routine. I was using my trusty Barrier Cream from SVR Laboratories, which has always saved my skin from my unbridled enthusiasm for acids. The issue I found this time was that I had to slather on an absurdly thick layer to feel barely hydrated, and I suspected most of it would be absorbed by my pillowcase instead of my skin. So, I decided it was time to bite the bullet, and went for TIA’M’s soothing panthenol toner (aka vitamin B5), which has amazing reviews and apparently, takes dehydrated skin to the next level of plump and juicy.

High-performance makeup maestros Axiology has one of the best sheer-to-medium coverage foundations on. the. market. And your skin will love it!

Introducing Fungdation, the world’s first foundation powered by mushrooms. Why mushrooms? Long used in K-beauty, Snow mushrooms can hold up to 500 times their weight in water, helping plump the skin. Reishi mushrooms, meanwhile, are rich in beta-glucans. They can increase skin’s moisture retention by 20-25%. Along with cocoa butter and vitamin E, you’re looking at an intensely hydrating, good-for-skin formula.

Let’s talk about the application and finish: the texture is creamy and lightweight with a natural, satiny finish. There’s a hint of dewy in there too. The coverage isn’t cakey in the slightest - it’s a few degrees stronger than a tint and enough to make blemishes and pigmentation disappear.

Packaged in eco-friendly, biodegradable tubes, Fungdation is not just a foundation — it’s a daily ritual of skin renewal and hydration.
