10 Best Cushion Compacts: The Foundation Alternative You’ve Been Looking For

10 Best Cushion Compacts: The Foundation Alternative You’ve Been Looking For

When it comes to coverage, makeup has gone through a lot of trends. We’ve seen the BBs, the CCs, the oxygen-infused—and everything in between.  The next big craze in beauty is something we think is going to stick around because of how miraculously well it works. With that in mind, enter cushion compacts, the recent Korea import the beauty industry is crazy about.

Into The Gloss, the website dedicated to beauty that explores the routines of inspiring women cites the cushion compact as the next miracle in makeup. Why? “It’s basically everything people love about a BB and a CC cream, but with more perks,” Pauline Maynard from L’Oréal tells Into The Gloss. “It also doesn’t cake because it’s super thin and light, and as an added bonus, most cushion compacts have a really high SPF—50 or higher—while most BBs only have 30.”

Applying the product is so fun and all it takes is pressing the powder puff into the cushion, tapping it all around your face – and voila!  Great coverage without feeling cakey. It was the perfect product for summer because of the high SPF and the non-cakey formula but it is sure to stick around into fall and winter!  We are totally in love with the cushion compact and you should be too—so try it out before it hits the mainstream.
