Both foundation and cushion have the same basic function of powder base. They are used to conceal and cover blemishes such as acne scars and wrinkles. It can also be used to enhance the final look of makeup, making it last longer.
These two products may look similar at first glance but they have distinct differences.
Find out what the differences are between cushion and foundation so that you can decide which is best for your needs.
1. Ingredients
The formula is what makes the difference between cushion and foundation. Cushions usually have skincare products. While foundations are usually concentrated on their function as base to make powder look more powerful, they do not focus on the ingredients.
2. Color Shades
The color selection is something you may notice when purchasing cushion and foundation products. Foundations usually have a wider range of colors for different skin tones.
The color options for cushions are limited. There are only about three or four options, including shades for olive, fair and tan.
3. Texture
Both foundation and cushion have a similar texture. The texture of foundation is typically more liquid than that of cushion. Cushion is a little creamier and thicker, so you can apply it with an applicator. You have to be very careful when using foundation to avoid letting out too much liquid. Consider that foundation is a liquid with a slippery texture.
4. Packaging and How to Apply
Comparing foundations to cushions, they are usually packaged without a mirror and come with applicators. To use the foundation, you will need a mirror and beauty blender. Be sure to moisten the beauty blender first with water before applying foundation. This will ensure that it adheres perfectly to your skin.
Cushions are more often used for everyday makeup due to their lighter formula and medium coverage. Cushions are more commonly used for everyday makeup due to their lighter formula.
6. Price
The price depends on both the quality and the brand of the products. Choose according to budget and skin type. Cushions are more expensive because we only get 15g of product in the compact jar, whereas we get much more in a smaller bottle.
