The Best New BB Cushions You Need To Try

#1 innisfree My Go To Cushion v1.3, $38

As part of their My Foundation Launch, the innisfree My Go To Cushion allows you to choose the type of coverage and finish you like. So whether you like it light and dewy, or matte with heavy coverage, there is a My Go To Cushion for you. Strictly speaking, its not a cushion since it dispenses the foundation instead of a sponge which holds all the foundation, but we aint mad at it cause it seems to be more hygienic that way.

#2 Clé de Peau Beauté Radiant Cushion Foundation, $130

Clé de Peau Beauté has long been known for its foundation and skin makeup and even though theyre late to the cushion game with their first ever cushion launch, we have confidence that the tardiness was warranted – we were right.

The $130 price tag may be a little hard to swallow, but try it out at the counters and let the product convince you of its worth.

This versatile cushion has a concealing base and a cushion for you to vary the coverage and finish. Use the concealing base under the cushion for a semi-matte finish, but reverse the order and you get a matte, high-coverage finish. If you prefer the dewy look, use the cushion alone or as a finishing cushion on the high points of your face for a natural highlight.
