Well hello hello, time for another review my beautiful friends... I finally get to try the famous BB Cushion Foundation by Laneige, I have heard so many beauty gurus talking about this stuff and honestly it does look pretty interesting so let's crack on with the review.
New Makeup New Look
If you don't know what BB cushion is, it is basically a compact foundation (I'd say in liquid form) that is soaked in a piece of sponge, and comes with a spongey puff that you supposed to dip and press on that piece of foundation sponge then dap and smooth the product over your skin.
Laneige is a Korean skincare and makeup brand which is fairly famous in Asia and a lot of Asian beauty gurus love this stuff, well I can see why because it is fabulous.
PROS:
- light as air, texture-wise
- easy to use
- looks like second skin, literally
- feels like you have nothing on, literally
- leaves a healthy dewy glow
- smells good
- nice and compacted so easy for touchup on the go
- protects the skin because of the high SPF which is 50+
- covers really well, I'd say light to medium but buidable
- hydrates the skin, it's like moisturiser and foundation in one
- wears pretty nice throughout the day, doesn't oxidise, doesn't get too oily, but I do need to touchup with my powder
- brightens up the complexion
- the mirror inside is nice and big
- comes with a refill which is really thoughtful
- environmental friendly because you can keep the compact and just buy the refill
(Left: with natural light, Right: with artificial light. Looks so natural and glowy)
CONS:
- limited shade range (only comes in 3 shades I think, light, medium and dark)
- it will dry out if don't keep the lid on tight
- have to wash the puff quite regularly if not it gets really dirty and gross
- not available in Europe
- the rather strong citrusy perfume scent might be too much to some
(Left: a tad too light compare to my neck, Right: with setting powder on top but still looks natural)
Honestly this is a beautiful foundation. I just love how light it is and still manage to even out my skintone. I have the shade in light, well it is a tad too light for me but I can even it out with my bronzer so it's all good. If you are someone who prefers high coverage foundation then this is not for you, but remember foundation is supposed to even out skintones not covers everything else on your face. Seriously this BB cushion is amazing!
Whoever invented this little puff that it comes with, is a genius. It picks up the right amount of product and applies so seamlessly. I think you can use a brush if you are not a fan of the puff, but remember use a soft, fluffy brush not dense brushes, my opinion.
(Comes with a refill and a sample of the water bank moisturiser)
Guys I am falling head over heels with this thing if you can't tell already. Unfortunately it is not available in EU (why why why?!!!) but if you live in America you can get it from target.com.
So have you tried it? @eflicciardello
