Cushion lovers, come gather here! No more worries about lip primer, concealer, or dry skin!
Cushion is a type of liquid foundation with a similar structure to foundation, BB cream or CC cream, but it is soaked in a sponge with many air holes and comes with a puff. Cushion has a 3-in-1 function because it simplifies the foundation application process into one step (including foundation, concealer and powder), which is convenient and saves time when applying makeup.
Remember the following tips to make your regular cushion more “versatile” and solve the common skin problems we often encounter when making up!
1. Hide red areas of the skin
Some girls with sensitive skin often have redness around the nose and corners of the nose. To hide this defect, simply fold the puff in half, take a little cushion, and then pat lightly around the nose.
2. Create a glowy, healthy glow effect
Sometimes, for photo shoots or parties, if you want a glowier base, take out your nourishing oil and follow this method:
After using the cushion, apply 1-2 drops of oil to the palm of your hand, rub it until your hands are warm, and then apply it lightly to the cheekbones and forehead. Note that you should not press or rub hard on the skin to avoid disturbing the cushion layer that we just applied on the face.
3. Emergency treatment for dry and chapped skin
For girls with dry or dry combination skin, to avoid dryness, skin irritation, and no powder adhesion, before using the cushion, remember to use moisturizer and apply a moisturizing mask!
Then use this method to “add” more moisture to the cushion. Spray a little misting water on the puff to make it moist enough and apply the cushion to the skin as usual.
4. Fix over-applied blush
Sometimes you can overdo your blush and your face looks like a clown. Instead of trying to wipe it off, you should blur it out using a cushion makeup sponge. Use the puff to take a small amount of cushion and pat it lightly on the area that has just been applied with blush. This way, the blush color will not smudge and will gradually fade, restoring the radiant beauty to your face.
5. Conceal lip imperfections
Before applying lipstick, instead of using concealer, which can be dry and doesn’t match your skin tone, simply apply a small amount of cushion to your lips to neutralize your natural lip color. It will act as a primer to help your lipstick go on true to color and last longer.
6. Make your face look smaller
Some girls often apply cushion to one spot, and when the puff runs out of powder, we continue to soak the powder on the puff and apply it to the unfinished skin area. This will make that area brighter, which will make your face look bigger.
Therefore, only apply light cushion to the center of the face and blend it out to the edges slowly and naturally!
