The cushion compact stole our hearts the minute it started popping up on shelves this side of the sphere. Another brilliant Korean beauty export, it solves all the things we hate about foundation by basically being a CC cream with a built-in blending sponge. But you’ll have the most success by choosing the right one for your skin type.
Best for sensitive skin
Hypoallergenic and free of the usual laundry list of irritants like fragrance, talc, gluten and parabens, this cushion compact is a sensitive girl’s dream. The only downside is the limited shade range, but it’s your best bet if you’re looking for an affordable drugstore find. Our pick: Physician’s Formula Mineral WearTalc-Free All-in-1 ABC Cushion Foundation ($20, available at Shoppers Drug Mart)
