Review (5/5): This is my first bb cushion and I love it. Why didn't I discover bb cushions sooner
This is my first bb cushion and I love it. Why didn't I discover bb cushions sooner.. I have oily, acne-prone skin, hyperpigmentation, and used to use foundation all the time and would have constant issues with my foundation and concealer separating throughout the day and looking cakey. Now I do all my skincare, then use a water-based primer (I use Etude House mint choux base), let it absorb, and then this cushion. It goes on so smoothly and looks natural and dewy yet not oily--I actually don't have to blot my face as much anymore for some reason. And it stays on literally ALL day, which is impressive since I sometimes have makeup on for over 15 hours. I still use concealer on my undereyes because my dark circles are too dark, but this bb cushion covers up allllll my other dark spots, scars and even deep, inflamed hormonal acne so I don't use concealer on those anymore-- just make sure to dab lightly and not rub the product with the sponge. And I only use powder on my undereye concealer and between my eyebrows because I get super greasy there so the rest of my face is a little sticky at first, but the stickiness goes away. I've used it for over two weeks now and my skin also looks better when I'm not wearing makeup. Probably because it's so much better for it than regular foundation. Oh and if you want to clean the sponge, wet it under running water so it absorbs the water, rub it against a white bar soap, and then squeeze the stuff out.
