I have tried 2 most popular air cushion that was in market recently.
Both have their own good points and I have my own preference.
Lets compare the 2 popular air cushion, Lancome ($75 w/o refilled) and Sulwhasoo ($75 with refilled)
Both are made in Korea.
Product description:

Lancome Blanc Expert Cushion

5) Photo-protection: with SPF 23/PA++ to protect the complexion from UVA and UVB, to help prevent the formation of age spots and the signs of sun-related
photo-ageing.
My personal preference are Sulwhasoo perfecting cushion, as I noticed it give the most coverage and it stay longer than Lancome air cushion.
For Lancome, it create a very dewy look, very wet in laid man term. If you have a very dry skin, I suppose the Lancome will suit you the most. I am not saying that Sulwhasoo is dry, its not, but its not the wet feel, but Sulwhasoo give you a type of porcelain effect and its goes with its name... the perfect air cushion because it gave a perfect coverage on my skin and still product excellent moisturizing effect. However, the smell of Sulwhasoo might not be appreciate by alot of people. I did not like the smell at the beginning when I first start using Sulwhasoo perfect cushion, but when I get used to it, everything seem perfect for me.
Talking about long lasting... Lancome does not really stay on my skin for 2 hours (based on my combination skin type and humid weather). But Sulwhasoo does stay perfectly on my skin for 2 hours without the need to touch up. This is great!!
Upon deciding which to buy, you may also have to consider the skin tone of which it most suits you. Unfortunately for Sulwhasoo, they only have 2 Skin tone colour, which is the medium pink and Medium beige. Not really suitable for multi racial country I suppose). However, Lancome on the other hand has 6 skin tone to choose from (it started with 4, but increase to about 6 since I purchase it in June 2015).
This are my personal review... Give them a try... U might find one that suits you the most
