Episode Title: Intro to Korean Makeup I Ep 06
Episode Summary: Today on the Korean Beauty Show we’re taking a look at Korean makeup and some of the differences you’ll see between makeup in Korea versus western makeup.
BB Cushion Compacts are one of the latest and greatest beauty innovations to come out of South Korea. Korean cushion technology is so popular it has even been adopted by western beauty companies, including Lancome and Dior.
A BB cushion is a Korean Beauty invention that involves a BB formula soaked into a sponge that comes in its own compact. The formula is more watery and lightweight than liquid bases, which also necessitates a slightly different application technique. Cushions come in their own sleek compact kits, including an applicator puff, so they are perfect for touch-ups on the go.
A few points to note on Korean BB Cushions. Unfortunately, they come in very few colours (the most common are Shade 21 (Light Beige) and Shade 23 (Natural Beige). They almost always have SPF 30+ or greater.
Mostly a wet, dewy finish although there are some with matte finishes these days Light, liquid formula
Tips for applying BB Cushions:

"At its core, BB cream (aka “Beauty Balm” or “Blemish Balm”) is an all-in-one product that combines moisturiser and sunscreen with anti-aging and brightening benefits, plus the coverage of face makeup."
