JAKARTA - Cushion is one of the makeup products that many people love. This is because cushions are practical, provide mild end results, and high SPF content makes it a favorite choice as a makeup base.

However, to have a long-lasting makeup look, using a cushion is not enough. The use of cushions must be accompanied by the use of powder, especially loose powder, so that makeup lasts a long time.

Many professional makeup artists say that the use of powder after the cushion is not optional, but an important step to lock the makeup so that it remains durable and does not shift.

Bedaxes are also useful for helping control excess oil, so that facial appearance is not easy all day long. Especially for those with oily skin or want a makeup look, then using powder is a mandatory step.

"Loose powder is a vital step to make makeup last longer, and control oil," said makeup artist May Sum, quoted from Bustle, on Friday, November 21, 2025.

To use powder after using cushion can be done according to personal preferences. If you often do activities outside the room and your skin is oily, then you can use a little more powder in the area of your face that is prone to oily, such as your forehead, nose, and inner cheeks.

However, if you like the appearance of ultra-dewy and the skin tends to dry, then the use of powder can be made at least.

If you want to appear glowing but still last longer, simply apply a thin-thin loose powder, to lock the display without removing the natural glow from the cushion.
