25 Best Cushion Foundations That Shoppers Swear By For *Flawless* Looking Complexion
If there’s one product that beauty junkies can’t live without it has to be BB cushion foundations. In fact, if you ever decide to take a peek at any woman’s purse, there’s a high chance that you might stumble upon this makeup product. It is arguably the biggest beauty trendsetter to ever hail from Korea. With its compact design and impeccable formulation, BB cushion foundation is a perfect choice for people who need a quick touch-up. If you’re looking for ways to amp up your makeup game, splurge on these BB cushion foundations asap.
What is a BB Cushion Foundation?
Essentially, a BB cushion involve soaking a sponge with a foundation formula and storing it in a portable compact. Made popular by the Koreans, BB cushions provide a sheer to medium coverage to even out the skin tone and give the skin a radiant glow. Although it is usually lightweight in consistency, some brands also have BB cushions that provide medium to full coverage for a flawless base. Also, all BB cushions come with a compact mirror and a soft flat sponge applicator for an easy and fuss-free application. Moreover, BB cushion foundations also tend to have light-reflecting particles to give the skin a pearlescent sheen. Because they’re so portable and easy to use, they’re great for travel and touchups on the go.
BB Cream vs Foundation
Foundations are a timeless classic when it comes to base makeup products. Best known for offering a medium to full coverage, foundations are a go-to when it comes to covering blemishes, uneven skin tones and everything else!
Unlike foundations, BB creams are known for their sheer coverage, perfect for that all-natural, minimal look. Plus, BB creams act as all-in-one multitaskers — that means extra skin benefits including hydration and SPF. However, that does not mean you can skip out on your sunscreen!
How To Apply a BB Cushion Foundation?
All BB cushions come with an ultra-soft flat sponge applicator and a band to strap it to your fingers. To apply, simply wrap the band of the sponge around 2 to 3 fingers (see image above) and press the sponge into the cushion foundation. Then, start patting the cushion onto your skin using light and gentle tapping motions. For a flawless coverage, start at the centre of your face and T-zone before blending the product outwards and into your hairline. Because BB cushion foundations have a watery consistency, they are very easy to blend out and let the sponge do all the work for you. After an even application, you can go in with a second layer to build up the coverage. To keep the skin dewy and fresh, only powder the T-zone and keep the cheeks glowy and radiant.
