Cushion foundations have been all the rage lately for their lightweight and dewy finishes. But what are they, and why are they so popular? In this article, we will discuss some of the features of cushion foundations and the reasons which make them suitable for almost every skin type. So let’s get started without wasting any more time.

Composition of Cushion Foundation

A cushion foundation is a type of makeup that is applied with a sponge that is drenched in the product. It was first introduced to the market by Korean companies. The product is usually light and has a dewy finish.

The main ingredients in a Korean cushion foundation are water, glycerin, and propylene glycol. These ingredients help to keep the skin hydrated and also provide a cooling effect. Other ingredients that may be included are licorice extract, which helps to brighten the skin; niacinamide, which helps to reduce the appearance of pores; and adenosine, which helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
