![]() So how do cushions work? Let me show you! Also, I may or may not own all of the aforementioned cushions. Whether it’s The Face Shop’s Screen Cell Cushion (featuring a special ‘screen’ over the cushion to create an even finer finish), Etude House’s Any Cushion(which comes in a number of shades to counteract redness, dullness or just to cover that ish up) or Hera’s UV Mist Cushion (the higher-end version featuring 5 functions in one), the cushion is everywhere. Although IOPE was the original, they kickstarted a trend which has resulted in literally every single Korean brand having their own version of the cushion. Both Koreans and everyone else alike hold this cushion up as the gold standard for all other cushions. I had read a lot about this cushion before purchasing it, and I must say I was intrigued. I’m still not an expert on this item, but I am willing to become one. Having all of the product encased in a cushion also seemed like something that would run out quickly, but there actually appears to be a generous amount submerged in there. However, after reading more about the issue, it seems to basically be an issue of keeping the puff clean and limiting the cushion’s exposure to air and basically the outside world. Having the product housed in a sponge-like environment did not seem to be ideal. ![]() Especially living in a country that is so concerned with hygiene, I had hesitations about the cleanliness of this product. When I first heard about these things, I was a little unsure. Have a look at it in all its beauty here: The IOPE Air Cushion XP <3 And I may have just purchased it for myself. The original cushion was created by IOPE, and their new (and supposedly improved) product is the IOPE Air Cushion XP. No blending and smearing makeup all over your fingers or worse, your outfit. The big benefit of these products is that they allow you to easily apply your base makeup without the usual fuss involved. You use a special puff to gently press on the cushion, which releases the product and then dab it onto your face in a gentle, doll-like manner. Cushions are compacts which house your CC cream (usually), BB cream or foundation in a sponge-type ‘cushion’. Instead, I am referring to possibly the biggest Korean beauty trend since the BB cream (and subsequently the CC cream). No, I’m not talking about those plush, comfy things you throw on your couch (although I am a huge fan of those too). ![]() If you haven’t heard, cushions are all the rage in Korea.
