Cushion foundations have been trending globally for a while now. Cushion foundation is an original K-beauty product, which allows the users to wear convenient and quick base makeup in the morning.
First of all, the cushion foundation is very quick and easy to apply - just press the formula-saturated cushion with the sponge provided with. Tap on the foundation lightly, and start covering your skin with the foundation. It's that easy! Another perk of using the cushion foundation is that they play the roles of sunscreen as well.
Now you have some brief knowledge about the cushion foundation, it is the time to see what are the best five among many of the options.
#5 Jungsaemmool / Essential Skin Nuder Cushion [SPF50+/PA+++]
Price: ￦42,000 With Refill Included. ($35.47 USD)
The fifth place is Jungsaemmool's Essential Skin Nuder Cushion. Some might not be familiar with the brand 'Jungsaemmool'; she is a famous makeup artist based in Korea and launched her own makeup brand.
Out of many of Jungsaemmool's makeup products, the most famous one is this cushion foundation indeed. This became well-known among Korean consumers by enhancing the face's natural beauty with a silky glow finish.
The most popular shade in Korea is #Fair Light. Choose the right shade for you since there are six shades available from lighter skin tones to darker skin tones.
I would like to recommend this anyone who has dry skin or prefer a glowy skin finish. If you are looking for natural but with medium coverage and long-lasting cushion foundation, this is the right pick for you!
#4 NARS / Aqua Glow Cushion Foundation
Price: ￦63,000 ($53.22 USD)
The fourth place is taken by the Aqua Glow Cushion Foundation from NARS. This specific cushion is a water-enriched foundation that provides weightless coverage, moisture, and protection.
The major perk of using Aqua Glow Cushion Foundation is that it protects your skin from dryness and damage caused by UV rays at any time. Since the formula is more watery, lots of consumers prefer using it during the dry season like winter.
The most popular shade among Koreans is Namsan (남산), which is a cool, pink undertone shade.
Many of the consumers found this cushion foundation makes the skin flawless, but do not expect high coverage from the product. If you have the chance, I would highly recommend checking out the shades and the formula of the product in person.
#3 LabNo / Safe BB Cushion
Price: ￦28,000 ($23.65 USD)
The third place is LabNo's Safe BB Cushion.
This is a popular product among consumers who have sensitive skin. LabNo is a famous brand for selling hypoallergenic cosmetic products, which can be used by children and pregnant women. Are you looking for a clean product without any harmful ingredients used in your base makeup product? LabNo's Safe BB Cushion is the one!
The most popular shade in Korea is the BRIGHT one, which is the brightest shade among the three.
#2 CLIO / Kill Cover Founwear Cushion XP [SPA 50+/PA+++]
Price: ￦32,000 With Refill Included ($27.04 USD)
The third place is CLIO's Kill Cover Founwear Cushion.
I can confidently say that Korean consumers have bought one of the CLIO's cushion foundation at least once! The strong coverage formulated with powder particles in varied sizes gives seamless, clump-free coverage for smooth skin.
Also, their formula is longlasting, which is why CLIO's cushion foundations are beloved by many consumers.
LINGERIE (No.02) and LINEN (No.03) is the most famous shade among the Koreans. Many of the consumers liked the long-lasting formula and their coverage, which is why it ranked the second among countless cushion foundations in the K-beauty industry.

Price: ￦55,000 With Refill Included
The honorable first place goes to HERA's Black Cushion!
Their lightweight texture blends right into the skin seamlessly for a perfect fit. The coverage of this product is medium-high compared to other cushion foundations that I have introduced earlier.
With the outstanding coverage and long-lasting formula, many consumers with oily skin or prefer a matte finish loves this product.
The main model for HERA is Jennie from BLACKPINK!
