Which is better, foundation or cushion?

Foundation and air cushion are the two most commonly used products by women when applying makeup. Both have the effects of concealing blemishes and whitening, and can replace each other. For this reason, many people are troubled when making a choice and don’t know which product to choose. In fact, foundation and air cushion each have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you want to choose a suitable product, the buyer must make a comprehensive comparison based on the actual situation of his or her skin and then make a choice!

1. From the packaging

Liquid foundation: Liquid foundation is packaged in push bottles, squeeze tubes, etc. You can apply it by squeezing it out, which is convenient and hygienic to use.

Air cushion: The air cushion foundation is made of a sponge with countless fine pores that fully absorbs the liquid foundation into a powder core. The packaging also uses a powder box similar to a powder cake, and the powder box will have its own air cushion puff and a small mirror. The packaging of air cushion foundation is easier to carry and more convenient to touch up makeup when going out.

2. From the perspective of makeup techniques

Liquid foundation: Liquid foundation can be applied with a sponge or foundation brush, or you can apply it evenly on the face directly with your hands. When you go out to touch up your makeup, you can only use your hands to dip a little foundation and then pat it on your face.

Air cushion: The air cushion foundation has its own air cushion puff. Use the puff to lightly press the air cushion foundation to obtain the powder cream, and gently pat it on the face to apply makeup. You don’t have to worry about getting your hands dirty when using the air cushion foundation.

3. From the perspective of makeup effect

Liquid foundation: Liquid foundation is easy to dry and uneven after application. If moisturizing work is not done properly before applying makeup, dry skin may cause cracking and peeling.

Air cushion: The air cushion foundation is finer in powder texture than liquid foundation, and the makeup looks natural and clear. The patting makeup technique makes the foundation fit better with the skin, and there is no need to worry about uneven application.

4. From the perspective of long-lasting concealer

Liquid foundation: Many liquid foundations on the market have very good durability and can last for 8 hours! The texture of the liquid foundation is relatively thick, so you don’t have to worry about the coverage as long as it is not a light foundation.

Air cushion: Most air cushion foundations are moisturizing, so the makeup lastingness and concealing effect are very average, and makeup needs to be touched up every 4-5 hours. Air cushion foundation focuses on natural and clear makeup effect. The air cushion foundation has a general concealing effect. Those who want to cover large blemishes need to use concealer after applying foundation.
