BB Cushion Hacks For Dewy And Matte Skin

You probably already own at least one cushion compact. But did you know there are ways to create different looks and finishes with it?

October 9, 2017

There was a time when a compact was just a compact. Click, lift the lid, and you’d see the firmly-packed powder foundation, which you’d swipe and apply with a flat sponge.

But in 2008, the first cushion compact, the IOPE Air Cushion, created by South Korean conglomerate Amorepacific Group (which owns beauty brands Laneige, Etude House, Innisfree, Sulwhasoo and Mamonde), was launched. This beauty innovation has made a huge impression — in 2016, 100 million cushion compacts, across the Amorepacific brands, were sold in Asean countries alone. Even Western beauty brands took notice of the trend, and have now come up with their own iterations.

A staple in most women’s beauty regimes, cushion compacts have cushions that are pre-soaked with liquid foundation. Allowing for easy and mess-free touch ups on the go, it’s easy to see why they’ve become so well-loved.

Besides providing lightweight coverage, cushion compacts are now formulated with anti-ageing, whitening and UV protection properties to help women achieve that healthy, natural radiant glow. Brands like Innisfree also offer case customisation, so you can pick a compact to suit your skin’s needs, and also choose a cover to match your style or personality.

You probably already own at least one cushion compact. But did you know there are ways to create different looks and finishes with it?

The Weekly asked Vivi Ahn, Amorepacific’s makeup expert and trend leader, to show us how.

BB Cushion Hacks For Dewy And Matte Skin
Dabbing or tapping
image

Insert your index, middle and ring finger under the ribbon of the puff applicator. Gently soak the middle part of the cushion with foundation and dab the formula onto your skin, blending as you go along.

This technique helps you achieve a softer, more dewy look. For a slightly matte finish, dab more foundation on the oilier parts of your face.

Sweeping

Insert all three fingers under the ribbon of the puff applicator, and gently sweep and swipe the formula around your face. Always start from the inner parts of your face and work your way out.

This technique results in a dewy finish, with lightweight coverage. For an extra dewy look, spray facial mist onto your puff applicator or use a hydrating serum before applying foundation.

Folding

Folding helps provide even coverage in hard-to-reach places, like around the nostril and along the nose bridge. Fold the puff applicator in half, and apply the formulation onto these parts. Dab and blend further for a matte finish.

So go on, try these hacks and see what they can do for your skin!
