Lightweight, hydrating and great coverage are just some of the reasons why we love cushion compacts. Here, our list of the best cushion compacts launched in 2017.
This self-adjusting makeup uses sensory technology to adapt to your skin’s needs. Its formula is able to suss out areas of the skin with excess sebum and help to mattify, as well as sense dry patches and flush it with moisturising ingredients, so your complexion will always look balanced. It also helps to cover sallowness and dullness to give you a radiant, glowing complexion.
This longlasting makeup gives 24 hours of coverage to hide pores, dark circles and redness for a natural-looking, flawless finish. It uses a “roll-spread” technology that helps ensure close adherence of the product in a single application that allows users to do without multiple layering that can sometimes feel heavy on skin. The technology also provides a sweat-proof effect that lasts for up to 24 hours to further reinforce its staying power.
This provides weightless, buildable coverage with a luminous finish, and keeps skin hydrated for 18 hours. It helps to blur imperfections for a natural-looking, flawless finish so skin looks natural, illuminated and bright. It also contains skin-nourishing ingredients like rose centifolia flower extract, which has toning and firming properties, Gentian root extract provides skin-soothing and antioxidant benefits, and peppermint extract to condition skin.
Most cushions tend to give lightweight but more natural coverage. This one, however, provides 16 hours long wear with great coverage (the highest of all the cushions from the French brand) without any heaviness. It even has a Colour-Lock Technology that helps the makeup maintain its shade fidelity so you don’t have to worry about the colour fading or oxidising. And the finish: a luminuous matte that is perfect for humid weather as you’ll look radiant without being oily.
This easy to use color corrector merges three unique correcting shades into one sheer formula that addresses multiple concerns at once. Infused with Kiwi, the green pigments help to neutralise redness, the pink pigments have dragon fruit extract and help to even out skin tone, while blueberry infused purple brightens and fights dullness.
Great for women who need a refreshing boost, this has an anti-fatigue formula that smoothes, plumps and hydrates all at once. It helps to erase imperfections, refine skin texture and give skin a youthful glow.
This promises the same light texture and skin-illuminating effect of the popular highlighten pen to brighten the complexion and give it a natural glow. What’s more, the compact comes with a double-applicator puff: the smooth side gives coverage while the flocked side creates a strobing effect so you won’t need to get a separate highlighter for a luminuous, contoured appearance.
The first cushion from the brand known for its base makeup, this ultra-protecting and hydrating foundation defends skin against urban pollution, smog, PM 2.5 (fine air pollutants) and UV rays. And if that’s not enough, it even gives a cooling sensation and has a weightless, moisturising texture that leaves a radiant dewy finish.
Formulated with red pine, this helps to repair damage and strengthen skin. It also has the antioxidant–rich plum blossom extract to fight free radical damage, boost vitality and purify, as well as a Radiance Pearl Powder complex to reflect light and immediately give you a gorgeous glow. Another plus: it has glycerin to nourish even the driest of complexions and leave it soft and smooth.
This contains petal-shaped micro-blooming powders that envelop enlarged pores, smoothens out skin irregularities and corrects uneven skin tone. Highly sweat- and oil-resistant, it is great for hot and humid climates. Infused with bamboo sap, snow lotus and pine tree leaf extract, it also helps to hydrate skin and control sebum production.
