MOONSHOT

Moonshot is a Korean makeup brand. The footer of its Korean website lists a Korean company, Moonshot Korea, with an address in Incheon, and the English-language Korean press has described it as a cosmetics brand launched in Korea. At Ma Petite Coree, the Moonshot selection covers base makeup, lips, cheeks, a UV Skin Tint and what you need to remove makeup and cleanse the skin.

You can search for the brand in several ways: "Moonshot", "Moonshot cosmetics" or "Moonshot makeup". The packaging shows the name in lowercase, "moonshot", while product pages write it in capitals: it is the same brand. Many people also search for "Moonshot cushion" or "Moonshot cushion foundation".

Conscious Fit: a grouping by name that brings together the Glow and Matte cushion foundations, the Pink Moon edition and the Melow lip tint. The names Glow and Matte point to the finish, luminous or matte; shades and details are on each product page.

Black Cleansing: another grouping by name, for the Micro Black foam and the Magnetic Black oil. The labels read "Cleansing Foam" and "Cleansing Oil".

The other products each have their own name: Jelly Moon Glow Tint, Melting Mood Lip & Cheek and Tone Tuning UV Skin Tint. As for composition, we only mention what is read on the label: for the exact ingredients of a Moonshot product, check the list on the packaging.

For your base. Between Glow and Matte, first choose the finish you want on your skin: luminous or matte, going by the names. Then compare the shades offered on the product page. The Pink Moon edition is another version of the Conscious Fit cushion: look at its photos before deciding.

For lips and cheeks. The Jelly Moon Glow Tint and the Conscious Fit Melow Lip Tint are lip tints. The Melting Mood Lip & Cheek is described for lips and cheeks: handy if you want fewer products in your makeup bag. Shades are chosen on each product page.

For morning protection. The Tone Tuning UV Skin Tint shows SPF50+ PA++++ in its title. Apply it as the last skincare step, before makeup, and follow the directions on the packaging.

For removing makeup. In the evening, the Magnetic Black oil can come first on dry skin, followed by the Micro Black foam: this is the principle of double cleansing. If your skin is sensitive, read the ingredients and patch-test first. Cosmetic advice, not medical advice.

The Tone Tuning UV Skin Tint SPF50+ PA++++ is in Sunscreen. The Jelly Moon Glow Tint, the Conscious Fit Melow Lip Tint and the Melting Mood Lip & Cheek are in Lip makeup. If you like Korean makeup, also have a look at similar brands: ROMAND, 3CE or CLIO.

Moonshot is not limited to a single makeup step. The selection brings together base makeup with cushion foundations, products for lips and cheeks, a UV Skin Tint rated SPF50+ PA++++, and a cleansing oil and foam. One brand can therefore take you from evening makeup removal to the next day's complexion.

Another feature: several products share the Conscious Fit name, with cushions named Glow, Matte and Pink Moon Edition and a lip tint named Melow. This grouping by name is made by Ma Petite Coree, not by the brand. It helps you spot what goes together, without suggesting that these products share the same formula.

Here are the Moonshot products to know, described from their titles and labels:

• Conscious Fit Glow Cushion Foundation: a Conscious Fit cushion foundation named Glow, for a luminous finish.
• Conscious Fit Matte Cushion Foundation: the Conscious Fit cushion named Matte, for a matte finish.
• Conscious Fit Cushion Foundation Pink Moon Edition: the Pink Moon edition of the Conscious Fit cushion.
