The difference between cushion and foundation

Hello! Beaudiani official blog has been opened!

I am posting 'The difference between cushion and foundation' today. It is very similar but slightly different. Let's check what is the difference!


Foundation and cushion are both makeup products used to even out the skin tone and create a smooth base for the rest of the makeup application. However, there are some differences between the two:

  1. Formulation and Application:

    • Foundation: Foundation is typically available in liquid, cream, or powder forms. It is applied using makeup brushes, sponges, or fingers and is usually blended onto the skin for an even finish.
    • Cushion: Cushion foundation comes in a compact with a liquid or cream formulation soaked into a cushion-like sponge. It is applied using a sponge applicator that is usually provided with the compact. The sponge helps apply and blend the product seamlessly onto the skin.

  3. Packaging:

    • Foundation: Foundation is commonly found in bottles, tubes, or jars.
    • Cushion: Cushion foundation is packaged in a compact with a hinged lid. The compact contains a built-in mirror and a cushion applicator that helps dispense and apply the product.

  4. Portability:

    • Foundation: Traditional foundation packaging might be bulkier and less portable for on-the-go touch-ups.
    • Cushion: Cushion compacts are designed to be more portable and convenient for touch-ups throughout the day. The compact design and included applicator make it easy to carry in a purse or makeup bag.

  5. Finish and Coverage:

    • Foundation: Foundations can vary in terms of coverage, ranging from sheer to full coverage. They can offer different finishes like matte, dewy, satin, or natural.
    • Cushion: Cushion foundations often provide a lighter to medium coverage and tend to give a more natural, dewy finish. They are designed for a lightweight and breathable feel on the skin.

  6. Application Technique:

    • Foundation: Applying foundation might require using different tools like brushes, sponges, or fingers to blend and achieve the desired coverage and finish.
    • Cushion: Cushion foundations are usually applied by gently pressing the included applicator onto the cushion and then tapping or patting it onto the skin to achieve an even application.
    • Tapping it onto the skin

  7. Hydration and Skincare Benefits:

    • Foundation: Some foundations might include skincare ingredients, but they generally focus more on coverage and finish.
    • Cushion: Cushion foundations often emphasize hydration and skincare benefits. They might contain ingredients like SPF, moisturizing agents, and antioxidants to provide a multitasking product.

Both foundation and cushion have their own advantages and are suitable for different makeup preferences and occasions. The choice between the two depends on factors like coverage desired, finish, portability, and skincare benefits.
