\"Composit<\/a>What comes to your mind when<\/strong> we say the words beauty and Korea?<\/strong> Other than sheet face masks<\/a> and the prettiest cosmetics ever<\/a>, it\u2019s highly probable that someone will mention cushion compacts<\/strong>. They\u2019ve taken over without us even realising it and now they\u2019re already everywhere! It\u2019s really easy to explain what it\u2019s all about, because most of it has to do with the simple and different way of packaging. The products are inserted into a compact shell pack. Usually in the upper part you can find a mirror and a sponge, while the liquid is conserved in a small sponge under the cap, which is where the name \u201ccushion\u201d comes from. It is an innovative format because the distribution of the foundation (blush or other products) is precise, avoiding the sponge getting too saturated and that your makeup looks too cake-y. When it comes to the sponge those included in the compact aren\u2019t usually that great, but you can use one of your favorites. Or rather, if you normally use brushes you could use one with synthetic fibers (even better if it\u2019s dual fiber) to lift the product. The makeup works the same! Another advantage of cushion compacts is that they\u2019re very easy to carry around in your bag<\/strong>, for retouching during the day. We like them a lot and we\u2019ve been experimenting with them for a while now, and so in our gallery you\u2019ll find a selection of our favorites. Most of them are for the complexion, but there are even cushion eyeliners! Who knows what other incredible discoveries Korean-style beauty will bring us\u2026<\/p>\n\n\t\t
