South Korean compacts can give a 'no-make-up make-up' look that's in vogue

Cushion compacts, packed with a super lightweight formula, make good on their promise to deliver clean, even finishes, giving you the dewy "no-make-up make-up" look that's in vogue. Hailing from South Korea, these airtight cushion compacts hold their content inside a urethane foam that, when pressed, dispenses a uniform amount for even distribution everytime, making it perfect for quick touch-ups. There's something deliciously simple and attractive about getting camera-ready in only a few pats.

The third generation of Laneige's BB cream, which launches this month, is already spreading wild and fast in South Korea, where it launched a couple of months ahead. The product not only moisturises and evens out your skin tone, it also protects your skin from the sun. The formula includes micro pearls that help refract light to keep your face looking bright and radiant. As the BB cream is lightweight and adheres to the skin better thanks to the anti-bacterial applicator, emulating actress Song Hye-kyo's flawless skin is only a matter of pats.

The whole cushion compact craze started with Amorepacific, so it's no wonder the beauty behemoth has sold more than 50 million cushion compacts through its beauty brands. Its latest venture is a sunscreen product that helps colour-correct your skin. The cushion comes in natural and bloom tones, both of which give all skin tones a flattering glow. The lightweight formula is easy to reapply throughout the day, which translates into dewy-looking skin that doesn't feel heavy.
