Usually, compact foundations are not my cup of tea but then I came across the Amorepacific Color Control Cushion Compact Broad Spectrum. I decided to give this Korean beauty product a try and I was not disappointed one bit. Here is my honest review of the Amorepacific Color Control Cushion Compact.
Silky Smooth Foundation
The Amorepacific Color Control Cushion Compact Broad Spectrum comes in a beautiful silver compact that has a shiny finish. What’s interesting to note is that it comes with a refill so there’s an extra cushion attached. I chose the shade 204 Light-Medium Yellow since it should match my undertone.
This compact foundation goes on super smooth and silky, which makes it easier to blend. My favorite part is that the formula absorbs easily into my skin and provides a natural, even-toned finish. It’s lightweight and complements my face beautifully.
Moisturized Natural Finish
The Amorepacific Color Control Cushion Compact gives me buildable light to medium coverage. And even though it’s not as high-coverage as I prefer my usual foundation, it still gets the job done. It actually feels more like a concealer since it’s so lightweight and airy.
This foundation helps me achieve the “Glass Skin” look, which is very popular in South Korea. My skin has a glowing radiant finish that looks dewy but natural. I love that it evens out my skin tone beautifully and keeps my skin moisturized all day long.
The Color Control Cushion looks the same throughout my day and doesn’t oxidize or change color. For all my girls who love a more natural look, this is great since it doesn’t become cakey. It honestly doesn’t even look like I am wearing any makeup.
Healthy Skin Appearance
The Amorepacific Color Control Cushion Compact Broad Spectrum minimizes my pore appearance and covers any blemishes. It has a skin-blurring effect and brightens up my dull complexion, making me look more healthy. I think it’s actually good for my skin since it makes my face look better after each use.
This foundation doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy or overly dry. I do however sometimes add some powder for touchups because my skin can get very oily. Of course, this makes sense, because my skin type is more on the oily side.
One of the Best Cushion Foundations
The Amorepacific Color Control Cushion Compact is one of the best cushion foundations I have used! This foundation lasts all day, contains SPF, and is super easy to blend. It even has a pleasant scent and comes with a refill. I know it is pricier than the usual drugstore foundation but it lasts quite a long time.
