Brand loyalty and product line expansion
Many consumers are existing TIRTIR customers who purchased the Ruby Mesh variant after trying the original red cushion or other formulations. Repeat customers cite consistent quality and formula improvements as reasons for upgrading.
Influencer and celebrity endorsement
Multiple reviews mention K-pop idol endorsement (specifically BTS member) as a purchase motivation, with consumers buying to support the celebrity and out of curiosity about the promoted product.
Bundled value with gift items
The product frequently comes packaged with complimentary blush and lip tint, which reviewers consistently cite as adding excellent value and making the purchase feel like a special set rather than a single item.
Superior formula innovation
Consumers upgraded from the original red cushion because reviews highlighted this version as less cakey, more hydrating, and featuring finer mesh technology that provides better control and a more natural finish.
Shade range availability
Buyers specifically mention purchasing from international retailers (OliveYoung, Qoo10, Shopee) to access shade options unavailable in their home markets (e.g., Japanese consumers seeking specific undertones not sold domestically).
