10 Brand new cushion compacts for a fuss-free routine
This cushion might just be the secret to flawless skin.
Cushion foundations have revolutionised the world of makeup and if you have not heard about it, it is essentially foundation soaked into a cushion or sponge. You use the puff provided to gently dab the foundation and apply it onto your skin.
The mechanism is simple but the results, extraordinary. Not only does it cut down the length of your daily routine by half, it is also formulated with many beneficial skincare ingredients to help improve your complexion over time. These cushion foundations also have SPF added with values ranging from 15 up to 50 for protection from the sun.
Cushion compacts first gained fame in Korea and soon after, many brands were releasing compacts after compacts leaving us with many options to choose from. The craze has now spread to the American and French beauty world where we see many leading international brands releasing their version of the cushion compacts. The latest to join the group is L’Oréal with its release of the True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation.
These foundations-in-cushion come in a variety of finishes. From dewy to semi matte, the options are endless. The coverage is buildable and should you wish to conceal any stubborn areas, use concealer after applying the cushion compact to avoid product build up. If you have an oily skin type, lightly dust translucent powder to set your cushion foundation in place.
