Should I use air cushion or powder to touch up my makeup?

There is a difference between air cushion and pressed powder. Air cushion is generally used as a base when applying makeup, but pressed powder is used at the end to set and touch up makeup. Pressed powder and air cushion are both convenient to carry, but the texture of pressed powder is relatively dry, making it difficult to touch up makeup. If you use a cushion to touch up your makeup, there may be a slight touch of makeup. But you can decide according to your own preferences. Some people prefer air cushions, which is also possible.

1. Air cushion BB cream is a sponge air cushion BB powder cream. It simulates the principle of honeycomb honey storage and locks the BB cream in a sponge air cushion powder core with thousands of fine pores. By gently patting, it creates an airy nude makeup effect, which has a similar effect to liquid foundation. It is equivalent to liquid foundation, and its main functions are concealing blemishes, isolating and toning the skin. The appearance of air cushion BB cream is the same as that of powder cake, which is easy to carry and can be applied and touched up at any time.

2 Pressed powder is dry powder, compressed into a cake-shaped loose powder, which has the function of setting makeup and touching up makeup.

Simply put, air cushion is wet powder, which is equivalent to liquid foundation, and its main functions are concealing, isolating, and toning the skin. Pressed powder is dry powder, used for setting and touching up makeup. Since air cushion BB cream can fit into the pores more easily, it has good makeup application effect and is not easy to smudge, which is an effect that pressed powder does not have.

Both of them can be used to touch up makeup, which one is more suitable for me?

We need to understand our skin type.

If you have a dull and dry skin, it is recommended to use a BB cushion, which can evenly apply makeup without removing it.

If you have combination skin, it is recommended that you use pressed powder. Because it is dry powder, it will absorb oil, making your makeup very clean and has super strong concealing power.

Now that we know which makeup products are suitable for us, let’s take a look at some easy-to-use air cushion BB products and pressed powders.

This air cushion BB cream from Zhimeicun is non-sticky and feels smooth and moist. It makes your skin look brighter but not too bright. It is a very translucent and fair skin. It is the best choice for daily touch-ups and a must-have for energetic girls.

The appearance of this product is much better than the general air cushion BB product, and it is more distinctive. I personally like it very much. If you are lazy and don’t want to put on makeup in daily life, you can use this product to cover blemishes and your skin will look more energetic and healthy.

I have been using this Mamonde air cushion BB for half a year. The concealing effect is average, but the moisturizing effect and the makeup-proofing effect are very good. It also has a sun protection factor. If you are not going out and are staying in the office or at home, you can save on sunscreen and just use this one.

This Thai wing ceramic powder can be used wet or dry and comes in two colors. If you have dark skin, you can use the natural color, and if you have fair skin, you can use the ivory white. This way, your makeup will be more natural and the concealer strength is strong enough to completely cover common acne marks and large pores. After all, Thai cosmetics are quite good.

This is a powder compact from Bourjois. Well, it can absorb oil to create a clean makeup look, but it is not dry and will not cause powder floating or makeup coming off. It is the first time I have seen such a fruity powder compact scent. I am very satisfied with it both in appearance and interior.

This is a two-in-one pressed powder and loose powder from Carisla, a domestic cosmetics brand with a relatively good reputation. From mascara to lip gloss, they are all very good. The foundation powder is also very close to the skin and can cover blemishes. There are three colors. If you want to look white but not too white, it is recommended to choose a light skin color.
