Cushion vs. Foundation: Know the Difference Before Choosing a Makeup Base

Hi Implovers, who's still confused about the difference between cushion and foundation? Indeed, cushion and foundation serve the same function as a makeup base. However, they have many differences in texture, packaging, ingredients, coverage, and skin suitability. For those new to makeup, it can be very difficult to differentiate between the two. To avoid confusion, let's take a look at the following discussion:

The Difference Between the Two

Cushion is a makeup product innovated in South Korea. This product is made from liquid powder packaged in a sponge-like compact; a special puff is required to apply it. Meanwhile, foundation is a classic makeup product that comes in various forms, such as liquid, cream, stick, or powder. This product is designed to even out skin tone.

• Texture and Packaging
  
  Cushions have a light, fluid texture, packaged in a compact that includes a sponge, a special puff, and a mirror. Apply the cushion by patting the sponge with the puff, then spreading it evenly over the face.
  Foundations come in various textures, from liquid to creamy to solid. They are generally packaged in bottles or plastic bottles, and come in various shapes. Foundation is applied by dotting the foundation onto specific areas of the face, then blending with a brush, puff, or your hands.
   

• Ingredients

  Cushions generally contain skincare ingredients such as UV protection and moisturizer. These protect against UV rays and hydrate the skin.
  Foundations generally focus solely on pigmentation and durability, but some also contain UV protection.

• Results or Coverage

  Cushions generally offer medium to sheer coverage. Due to their lightweight formula, they are suitable for those seeking a natural, glowing makeup look. Cushions are also suitable for everyday use because their lightweight formula feels light on the face and is easy to touch up.
  Foundations generally come in varying coverage options, from sheer, medium, to full coverage. The variety of coverage makes it easy for Improv lovers to find the perfect fit for their skin needs. This foundation is suitable for formal occasions that require long-lasting makeup without smudging.
