Most of us will not step out of the house without at least applying a little foundation. Foundation is perfect for evening out a blotchy skin tone and covering up minor skin imperfections. But not all foundation is easy to apply and comfortable to wear. Many foundations also leave a streaky finish and draw attention to your flaws rather than hide them. Sulwhasoo Perfecting Cushion, available in four shades, is special as it provides remarkable coverage while giving your skin a healthy glow.

The special cushion was developed i n 2007, with the aim of allowing women to have quick and easy touch-ups of liquid foundation and sunscreen anytime, anywhere. The inspiration for the design of the cushion came from none other than the humble stamp. Over 3,600 tests using 200 different types of sponges were carried out, and the urethane foam was found to be the best. Each cushion is designed to hold the right amount of fluid, and glides across the skin effortlessly, guaranteeing a light finish.

The specially designed urethane foam makes application effortless. This foam has 800,000 holes that “trap” the liquid. As the cushion caresses your face, it veils your skin in a light layer of foundation.

The Perfecting Cushion’s unique watercolour feature means that its foundation pigments are diffused in water instead of oil, resulting in a finetextured foundation that applies smoothly and spreads delicately over your imperfections. Wrinkles and spots appear less visible, and your foundation will not look “flat” or cakey. It’s also extremely hydrating. That’s good news if your skin is dry and dull. It contains Apricot Seed Herbal Moisturizer, which will make your skin look firmer and suppler, with a 40 per cent hydration boost.

The Perfecting Cushion is ideal if you are after a radiant and dewy look. Plus, it helps your makeup stay put and look fresh longer, thanks to its Fi lm Polymer Technology. So it doesn’t matter if you’ve been out all day -- your makeup will still look good. Best of all, your complexion will be beautiful and radiant.
