Cushion Foundations have been popping up everywhere. To break it down it’s basically a foundation in a sponge, placed inside a compact. It usually comes with an applicator placed in the compact, perfect for on the go. It's so easy to apply; you just press the applicator into the sponge and then tap it onto your skin. The only downside for me was using the same applicator over and over, that’s why I usually just stick my brush in there and use the sponge for touch ups. How many times have you pumped out way too much foundation out of a pump? This gives you more control with the buildable amount of product you need. 

Almost every beauty blogger has reviewed the L'Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation. This buildable foundation is an affordable option that is just as great as the high end versions. The only challenge might be finding the right shade without a tester.

Lancôme Miracle Cushion Liquid Cushion Compact gives you the benefits of a BB cream. It’s hydrating but doesn’t clog pores. It’s also oil free but still gives you a sheer look.

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Cushion Compact SPF 35 is awesome because you can skip your sunscreen step. Besides protecting you from the sun, it also reenergizes your skin using 
Ingredients like caffeine and lychee.

Clinique Super City Block BB Cushion Compact Broad Spectrum SPF 50 gives you both sun coverage and the benefits of a BB. Sounds like a winner!

Last but not least the Dior CAPTURE TOTALE Dreamskin Perfect Skin Cushion. This luxurious option not only gives you a perfect complexion but also feels amazing on your skin.
