JAKARTA - Over time, cushion innovation continues to develop in the K-beauty industry to meet the needs of every user. This product has won the hearts of women in the world, including Indonesia.

As is well known, a cushion is a liquid foundation that is packaged in a practical and portable manner, equipped with a puff applicator so that it is easy to use anywhere. This makes this cushion one of the best K-beauty innovations of the 20th century.

However, as the texture and type of cushion continues to evolve following trends, the application techniques are increasingly varied. Now, South Korean women don't just use one cushion, but mix 2-3 types with different colors and textures on several areas of the face.

Curious? Take it easy, VOI provides guidance on how to use this complex product properly and correctly. Here are tips and tricks for application:

1 Cushion Application Technique

Using a thin layering technique to apply a cushion can help give your face dimension. Meanwhile, if the cushion is applied with the same portion on the entire face at once, it can actually make the face look rounder.

You are advised to start with areas that require more coverage, such as the triangular area under the eyes that needs to be brightened, then focus on areas that require more dimension. With the remaining product in the applicator, apply the product to the forehead, chin, side of nose, and middle of the face.

Apply one more layer to the T-Zone area and under the eyes for a concealing effect. You are not advised to rub the puff when applying the product, but instead use your fingertips on the puff applicator and gently pat your face as if filling the product in the pores.

Application Technique of 2 Cushion Types with Different Textures

The use of 2 types of cushions with different textures such as matte and dewy can make the face look more dimensional. The first step is to apply a cushion with a dewy texture that matches the skin tone, from the center of the face to the outer area a little at a time.

After that, apply a cushion with a matte texture on the outer area of the face to create dimension. Use a darker color on the outer area of the face to create a soft contour so that the face looks smaller but still looks natural.
