My Reading Room

The cushion compact has fans all over Singapore and the world. First created in Korea, no other makeup development in the last few years has had such an impact on the beauty industry.

Unfortunately for those of us in Singapore, finding the right cushion formulation can be a challenge. The humid weather and hot climate can make it difficult to keep makeup in place, and you don’t want to have glowing skin in the morning only for it to turn cakey and runny by the end of the day.

Formulations that work best for us are those that have not only been created for Asian skin, but also designed to suit our climate. SILKYGIRL’s Magic BB Cushion is both. Offering 12-hour oil-control and SPF 50/PA+++ sun protection, applying it is a must before you step out into the sun.

Best yet, in addition to protecting you from the sun, SILKYGIRL’s Magic BB Cushion is enriched with Skin Light Complex that brightens and evens out your skin tone. It contains a blend of Kojic acid, Bearberry acid extract, Morus Root extract and Licorice extract that makes dark spots fade and lightens the skin.

Even if you suffer from dry skin, this cushion compact keeps you refreshed and hydrated, thanks to mineral water and nutrients that your skin needs to stay nourished and fresh throughout the day.

Magic BB Cushion is available in two shades – 01 Natural Light and 02 Natural Medium – and retails for $22.90, with an introductory price of $18.90. It will be available from March 2017 onwards at major pharmacies, and personal care and department stores nationwide.
