Being on the go so often means I need a lot of touch-ups—and I can always rely on the best Korean cushion foundation for that!
One thing I love about the winter is that there’s no summer heat to melt off my makeup within seconds. But finding long-lasting and comfortable foundations is a must for all seasons.
I have you covered if you need a refresher on the difference between regular and cushion foundations. There are honestly so many variations of products that it’s hard to keep track sometimes.

Cushion foundations offer the convenience of having a cushion sponge packaged along with the foundation. Traditional tubular foundations offer pumps, often without applicators.
Cushion foundations also let you control the amount of product you get by dabbing it with the sponge. That’s been a big lifesaver when I’m in a rush.
Too often, I pump out more foundation product than I need and don’t know what to do with the excess. Putting it right back into the case is the definition of ease and convenience.

Also, I feel like sponge cushions do better at blending than brushes. Since cushions have even surface distribution, you can dab the product into your skin instead of creating streaks with brushes.

How 5 Western Brands' Portable Foundation Cushion Compacts Compare To The Korean Holy Grail
But what’s so special about Korean cushion foundations (or Korean skincare and beauty in general) is that they incorporate multiple benefits into a single product.
They can act as BB cream, liquid foundation, and sunscreen all at the same time. Not a 10-step skincare routine gal? You’ll love Korean cushion foundations.
One of their most popular features is providing a natural-looking “glass skin” effect. As the name suggests, it describes having a dewy, clear complexion with well-hydrated skin.

But you don’t need to worry if you have oily skin or prefer a matte finish. You can apply a thin layer of powder foundation to neutralize the moisturized aesthetic while keeping the benefits of hydration!
So the biggest caveat to watch out for is that the products are typically for light skin tones. Korean skincare products need to improve their shade ranges—if they fix that, everything will be perfect.
The Romand Nu Zero Cushion foundation caught my eye with its sleek design, but beyond the aesthetic, it’s one of the best choices for all skin types.

Sensitive skin tends to have concentrated areas in the face that are more oily than others, like the nose, while larger expanses of skin, like the cheeks and forehead, are dry.
What Are Cushion Compacts?
To fix these issues, this Ink Lasting Cushion hydrates dry areas without making the oily areas greasy or patchy. It achieves this effect with polymers that create thin, lightweight layers that act as a primer.
What I like about this Lasting Cushion is that the shades are labeled according to their functions. All the shades starting with V give a brightening effect, while all the N shades provide more natural, semi-matte coverage.
This Perfecting Cushion is a product from one of the biggest names in the makeup industry, Sulwhasoo. To prove it, their skincare ingredients combine to form a thick, creamy, and luxurious texture.

This Perfecting Cushion formula stays comfortable and lasts for a full day thanks to a lightweight hybrid formula with nanoemulsion, JAUM activator, and permeating powder that makes it blend seamlessly with even dry skin.
The Perfecting Cushion foundation quickly covers pores, uneven skin, and fine wrinkles since it focuses on differentiating between cool, natural, and warm undertones.
Plus, I love that the Perfecting Cushion puff is shaped like a water drop—it lets you easily reach the curves on your face, like areas around your nose bridge and just under the corners of your eyes.
Clio Kill Cover Mesh Glow Cushion
Enriched with chamomile, damask rose water, and eight kinds of hyaluronic acid, this Kill Cover Glow Cushion Foundation provides hydration to give your skin a glass-like appearance.
This delicate Mesh Cushion sits beautifully on the skin, smoothing impurities without giving you a cakey, heavy texture—the lightweight coverage is perfect for sensitive skin types.
Etude House put this Lasting Cushion to the test since it’s also transfer-proof—that’s pretty impressive, considering how moisture tends to turn makeup into a sticky, gooey mess.

The Missha M Magic Cushion is for oily, acne-prone skin—it gives a nice, dewy finish since it has buildable coverage that doesn’t pill.
Like the other cushion foundation products on this list, the Magic Cushion provides UV protection while still being lightweight since it has boron powder that prevents caking or buildup.
Missha is a reputable brand that has made a good name in the Korean beauty industry, so you can trust the quality of this foundation cushion.

The Essential Skin Nuder Cushion is unique because it was made by Jung Saem Mool, a makeup artist who built her career from the ground up in the early 90s.
The Self Beauty Uniconic Moisturizing Hyaluronic Acid BB Cushion Foundation (what a name!) goes all out with its claims of being a hydrating serum.
AmorePacific is another reputable brand that is well-known and loved in the Korean skincare industry. The Color Control Cushion Compact provides UV and antioxidant protection as a tinted moisturizer.

This Cushion Compact provides these effects through hydrating bamboo sap and antioxidant-rich green tea, which protects against environmental irritants like dust particles.
The most impressive aspect about the Color Control Compact is that the cushion soaks up the foundation without harboring bacteria—the AmorePacific researchers spent half a decade perfecting the technology, so you know it’s legit.

Not only do cushions help provide a popular “glassy skin” look, but they can also be modified for different skin types. Incorporating cushion foundations into one product makes creating natural-looking and dewy complexions more manageable than buying two other products.
They provide a wider breadth of advantages. It’s more convenient to carry around a mirror, cushion, and foundation all simultaneously than to have a clunky, disorganized makeup bag.
Best Korean Cushion Foundations For All Skin Types
If you want to! If you’re going to maintain a dewy look, you probably shouldn’t. But if you have oily skin and want to lock in any seeping oil, a light powder dust should do the trick.

They are by no means comprehensive, as the market is quite saturated with cushion foundations and I do not claim to have tried all the brands out there. However, I believe what I’ve tried represents a reasonablecross-section of what’s on offer out there.
For a more detailed insight into the brands I tried, I’d suggest you run through Cushion Foundation Week 1(Western brand cushions)and Week 2 (Korean brand cushions). I’ve shared in there my thoughts on each of them in greater depth and how they compare to each other.

But for those of you wondering just how similar or different the Western brands have recently approached cushion foundations, which were made popular by the Korean brands, this is what I think.
The most glaring thing I noticed is that the cushion foundation from Western brands cost significantly more than their Korean counterparts. This I have measured in 2 ways:-
It is for this reason that I feel that most Western brands either are paying a premium for developing their cushion foundations, or they aren’t taking it seriously. Dior for example, uses Amore Pacific to produce their cushion foundation (which explains why they have a more traditional Korean brand approach to packaging, texture and even how their refills fit) but I am convinced that this comes with a premium attached that is being transferred to customers.
