The Best BB Cushions With A Soft Matte Finish Suitable For Oily Skin
Cushion lovers, rejoice! These BB cushions have a soft matte finish which is perfect for those with oily skin
We often covet the "glass skin" look that is seen on Korean models and actresses — but this dewy look doesn't quite work in tropical Singapore, where the ferocious heat and humidity combine to turn that fresh dewiness into oiliness very quickly.
A soft matte BB cushion is a must-have for anyone wanting to achieve a flawless look. These provide a long-lasting, matte finish that helps keep skin looking smooth and hydrated. Not only do they give you the perfect finish, most of them also contain skin-nourishing ingredients that help keep your skin healthy and protected.
The right BB cushion for you will depend on the level of oil control, coverage, finish, and how many hours you need it to last. If you're looking for your holy grail, check out our picks for you below.
