If you are a regular round these parts you
may be well aware that I take my foundations very seriously. Having said that, when I heard that Lancome are the
first western beauty brand to adopt the oh-so-popular Korean cushion foundation
technology I was chuffed to bits. If you are not familiar with those cushion-based
gems, basically they are like foundation compacts with super unique fluid
capture technology formula, which promises to be a BB cream-style ‘makeup with skincare
benefits’ hybrid. The cushion foundations are supposed to make the skin
naturally radiant, flawless and beautifully hydrated, which is everything I
could ask for really. But does the Lancome
Miracle Cushion Foundation* (here)
live up to the expectations? Let’s discuss…
In short – yes, it bloomin’ does! From the cool, futuristic packaging to the
somewhat odd and gooey texture of the foundation – I am sold. The MCF is made
specifically to suit ever woman’s needs – offering both lighter and fuller
coverage, letting you choose which look to sport today. Amazing! And if you are still wondering how the Miracle Cushion Foundation actually works
I shall explain: Basically, all you need to do is take the super soft and
gentle sponge that come with the compact, press it down the cushion and apply
the obtained color all over your face and neck – simples. If you are after more natural finish press lighter or if
you fancy fuller coverage (like I do) just press the applicator deeper and
voila – hello flawless complexion! You
could easily build the Cushion foundation up to lovely medium coverage which I
couldn’t be happier about! Apart from the hidden imperfections though, this
beauty evens out the skin tone and makes my pores from pretty noticeable to
barely-there as well.
I am not a huge fan of matte finishes in
general, so when I applied the Miracle
Cushion Foundation for the first time I was smitten by its gorgeous satin
finish, which makes the skin look luminous and the right amount of dewy, minus the oily part. The up to four hours
hydration and supple skin effects are my favorite part, as well as the cooling
fresh sensation you get when you apply the foundation – the perfect morning pick
me up. The airy, soft and bouncy texture of Miracle Cushion feels featherlight and goes
evenly and blends beautifully into the skin. Oh and in case all those praises
aren’t enough, let me just tell you that this beauty has SPF 23 and photographs
beautifully regardless.
This innovative cushion compact definitely changed
the foundation game for me and I love how quick and easy it is to achieve complexion
perfection that lasts all day without budging. Miracle Cushion is really long
lasting and the cool thing about it is that you can layer it throughout the day in order to inject some more moisture and keep everything fresh and healthy, but never
cakey. Talk about fab beauty technologies!
If you fancy giving the Miracle Cushion Foundation a try you should know that it is refillable and comes in 6 shades that are supposed to compliment all skin tones from the
fairest to the deepest (I have shade #2
Beige Rose and it’s a great match for my skin). I feel like I need to
mention that the only thing I am not sure about the cushion foundation is the hygene
issue. The fact that you can’t really wash the applicator makes me a bit
worried that it might eventually start causing breakouts and skin irritation
but I’ll keep you posted on that, so stay tuned! Even if it does though you can
always use a brush, which btw makes the finish evenly gorgeous!
Have you tried the Lancome
Miracle Cushion Foundation yet? Is it something you are interested in trying?
Lots of love,
Andrea

Sounds very interesting indeed, specially if it makes your pores look smaller. I have noticeable pores and most makeup makes them look more noticeable, even with primer. I'd really love to see a before and after photo of the face!
ReplyDeleteGreat detailed post, I loved reading about this foundation and you'be got me very interested!

It sounds very promising but I'm not sure about the hygiene issue too. I like to clean my brushes on a regular basis so I hope Lancôme sells the applicators separately as well so I could at least buy a clean one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great review!

I wonder how it compares to the original cushion foundations from Korea... also, Lancome's lightest shade seems quite dark in photos, or is it just the photos? :)
ReplyDeleteI love this foundation! Is so quick and easy to apply, and the result is gorgeous :) xx
