8 best cushion foundations for everyday use
Gems of the cushion trend
image

The cushion trend is stronger than ever. It all started with the cushion foundation, but since it has gained traction and popularity, other makeup products have caught on. We’re talking sunscreens, colour correctors, blushes and highlighters – these products have managed to make their mark in the cushion compact form.

But we’re here to celebrate the OG cushion foundation, with evolved formulas that are better than ever. Here are 8 cushion foundations that definitely worth the addition in your daily makeup routine.

Mac Cosmetics Lightful C + Coral Grass Quick Finish Cushion Compact Foundation, $64
image

This gem from Mac Cosmetics is infused with Coral Grass Extract that optimizes your skin’s potential to glow and appear brighter. Its unique formula even lets you achieve increased brightness in your skin after each use.

We especially love its unique delivery system that allows you to get just the right amount of product on the sponge for a flawless, satin finish. Take this to the checkout if you want your skin to appear natural and radiant, but also if you have some pesky spots you’re longing to cover.

Available at Sephora.

Shu Uemura The Lightbulb Cushion Foundation, $78
image

The Lightbulb foundation from Shu Uemura is finally here in the cushion version! It has SPF protection, which gives our skin the sun protection we need should we forget to lather up on sunscreen beforehand.

If you’re not a fan of thick and cakey makeup, this will be your go-to because it’s breathable and still allows your natural skin tone to shine through after application. Pick this up if you’re constantly on the go and need to touch up in between meetings.

Available at Sephora.

Keep dark spots, discolouration and uneven skin tones at bay with this lightweight and buildable foundation. Its high-coverage formula even allows you to skip the hassle of putting on a concealer.

It’s perfect for those with dry skin as it’s formulated to keep your skin hydrated throughout the day. Bonus: you won’t find yourself reaching for it at mid-day for a touch up thanks to its long-lasting formula.

Available at Sephora.

Dior Capture DreamSkin Moist & Perfect Cushion Foundation, $105
image

As the name suggests, this cushion foundation is formulated to bring hydration and moisture to the skin, but yet has a matte luminous finish.

It also aims to reduce the appearance of pores, cover up redness on the skin to reveal a fresh, luminous look. Infused with vegetable glycerin, a powerful moisturising agent, this cushion foundation targets dry patches but also helps to cover up shine. While the formula is incredible on the skin, its only downside is that this comes in only 3 shades.

Available at Sephora.

This cushion foundation is a fan-favourite because it provides the skin with seamless coverage and its price really gets you a bang for your buck.

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Cushion Foundation, $80
image

This oil-free, high coverage cushion foundation is different from others as it has a Polar Cushion Technology that was specially crafted to lock in the foundation, which a normal sponge cushion can’t do.

It has a touch-activated filter that dispenses the perfect amount of foundation each time for easy application. The result is a natural-looking matte finish that gives your skin the hydration it needs throughout the day.

Available at Sephora.
