Base makeup completed with a single cushion, choose according to your desired skin finish
Cushion, Korea’s signature base makeup applied by tapping with a puff, has now become a beauty item loved around the world. Instead of dispensing liquid foundation from a bottle or tube, the method of placing foundation formula in a compact container and applying it with a dedicated puff began in South Korea.
A cushion contains both the base product and puff in one compact, offering the convenience of not having to prepare a separate brush or sponge. It is also small and lightweight, making it highly portable.
New products often release plenty of formula, so there is no need to press the puff firmly. In fact, pressing too hard can pick up an excessive amount and make makeup look heavy, so it is best to build the habit of applying small amounts at a time.
Cushions show their true value not only during the makeup routine but also when touching up makeup while out. Simply tapping lightly on areas where the base has worn off or where you want extra coverage can restore a brighter look.
However, before touching up, it is important to lightly control oil on the skin surface. If you layer product directly over excess sebum or oil, the existing base may mix or clump, so care is needed.
Each product offers a different skin finish, from dewy radiance to soft matte and subtle satin, so it is important to choose with an eye for your skin condition and preferred finish.
