Affordable long-lasting cushion foundations below $50 to add to your collection

Affordable long-lasting cushion foundations below $50 to add to your collection

Our picks are great for Singapore’s hot and humid weather, even with a face mask on

by Shi Min & Ho Guo Xiong  /   August 31, 2020

Fact: We love cushion foundations. Not only do they work as well as regular liquid foundations, but their compact size also makes them portable and convenient to apply and touch up wherever you are – at the backseat of the taxi, work desk or even in the washroom. Cushion foundations, which we first learnt from Korean beauty, have come a long way from their dewy finishes and can now be found in a wide array of coverage and finishes. Ahead, we shout out six affordable long-lasting cushion foundations that will last in Singapore’s hot and humid weather, even if you’re wearing a face mask.

Affordable long-lasting cushion foundations below $50 to add to your collection
The Face Shop fmgt Oil Control Water Cushion, $36 from Zalora
image

This cushion has enduring hydrating and oil-controlling properties. The sponge is also four times denser than regular materials, which helps distributes the foundation evenly and lightly across the skin for a non-cakey finish. It is also formulated to be water- and sweatproof and oxidation-resistant.  It is suitable for those with oily to combination skin types who want to achieve a fresh-looking complexion.

L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Cover Cushion, $44 from iShopChangi
image

My first encounter with this product was at a Watsons in China and it happened to be sold locally at iShopChangi. This is a semi-matte, high coverage cushion foundation with a natural finish that can cover blemishes and scars and has a water-locking and oil control technology which helps it last up to 14 hours. Combination skin types would love it but drier skins require a more hydrating prep first.

Wet N Wild MegaCushion Foundation, $12.72 from Zalora
image

With its high coverage and hydrating formula, this cushion is a treasure. Despite the coverage, it is lightweight and imparts a luminous finish. The only flaw is that it only has three shades and is thus difficult to find one that matches perfectly. But if you can find a shade that suits you, we recommend you to try.

Moonshot Micro Settingfit Cushion SPF50+PA+++, $45 from Sephora
image

If you didn’t know, this cushion is a favourite of Blackpink’s Lisa. It has a matte finish with oil-controlling, pore-refining properties that can conceal redness to even out the complexion. The cushion also contains a special technology that allows you to omit the use of setting powder so that your base makeup will look lighter and natural.

Peripera Matte Blur Cushion, $44.90 from Watsons
image

The main feature of this cushion is the soft-focus effect it imparts, thanks to the unique blurring technology that creates an impeccable mien. It is breathable and has high coverage. Moreover, the brand went with neutral beige tones so that it will create natural-looking bright skin regardless of whether you have yellow or pink undertones.

Aprilskin Magic Snow Cushion, $35.90 from Guardian
image

Well-hydrated skin is essential to create a perfected makeup look. The newest, third-generation cushion from Aprilskin contains 45 percent moisturising serum in its formula, which leaves behind a long-wearing, velvety complexion that won’t feel sticky or greasy. It also has a full-coverage finish.
