What is the difference between liquid foundation and air cushion?

Although women are naturally more familiar with some cosmetics, many women still don't know how to use them correctly. Under this premise, a lot of cosmetics are wasted every day, which is really inappropriate. The reason for this situation is that women always replace some cosmetics with each other and have no idea what the difference is between them. So, what is the difference between liquid foundation and air cushion?

Liquid Foundation

It is suitable for all ages and some genders and has the widest range of uses. Almost all major beauty brands have liquid foundation. In fact, liquid foundation has less oil content and is suitable for oily skin. This is why many girls with dry skin always say that no matter what foundation they use, it makes their skin dry.

Precisely because liquid foundation is the most common and feels the best to use, many brands have also launched liquid foundation specifically for dry skin (with moisturizing ingredients added). To be honest! This is enough for dry skin.

Liquid foundation features

The texture is milky and shiny (unless the texture itself is matte or velvet) and has a certain degree of fluidity. The packaging is generally a pump nozzle or dropper. The makeup feels naturally light and has weak concealing effect, so don’t blame your foundation for not being able to conceal concealers well, because its existence itself is not a strong concealing effect.

Some foundations nowadays can cover 70% to 80% of the blemishes, but they all feel thick and dry. So if you want a light, natural foundation that can cover blemishes, you still have to use it with concealer.

One disadvantage of liquid foundation is that it tends to come off easily, so it is important to choose a reliable setting product based on your skin type. As for how to find the makeup that suits you, you have to try more.

Oily skin causes makeup to come off when the oil is produced, which is what we often call eating makeup. Dry skin causes flaking, powder floating, or difficulty in applying makeup, so be sure to do a good job of basic skin care before applying foundation, moisturizing when necessary and removing oil when necessary.

BB Cream

First of all, let me dispel the rumor that BB cream is harmful to the skin. These are absolutely all rumors. All foundation products will not harm the skin, otherwise how could they pass the numerous inspections by the industrial and commercial health departments and be sold in shopping malls? Unless what you buy is a fake or a product without any quality assurance, if it is a fake, don't expect them to protect your skin.

Features of BB Cream

There is nothing magical about BB cream. To put it simply, it is just made with added moisturizing ingredients. It is lighter, more natural, and has less blemish coverage than liquid foundation, and is more suitable for skin without too many blemishes.

But you must remember: if you pursue nude makeup, don't expect to cover blemishes. If you want to cover blemishes, there will definitely be a sense of makeup. The more you need to cover, the heavier the makeup will feel. This is what they call "you can't have your cake and eat it too". You can choose according to your travel needs. Currently, there is no foundation that can cover all blemishes and still look like you’re wearing no makeup (so don’t keep asking the seller this impossible question).

Therefore, BB cream is more suitable for young people with good skin foundation and dry to combination skin. The same goes for CC cream. CC cream is more moisturizing and more natural than BB cream. For those with good skin, a bottle of CC can do the job.

air cushion

Air cushions are divided into air cushion BB and air cushion CC. They are loved by many girls because of their ease of use and lustrous base makeup. The best thing about air cushions is that they can be used on all skin types and are very quick to apply, which is more convenient to use than foundation brushes and beauty eggs. The Air Cushion CC and Air Cushion BB are the same, except that CC is even lighter than BB. Basically, if you choose CC, it's nude makeup. Don't expect to cover blemishes. It's good enough that it can cover pores.

Features of air cushion

The air cushion is suitable for all skin types. It increases the air content in the liquid foundation by pressing the micropores with a sponge, making the base makeup lighter and more fitting. The makeup will feel moisturized when you first apply it, but the moisturizing effect will decrease over time and you will need to touch up your makeup.
