Anyone who has dry skin knows the struggle of finding foundation. Whenever we touch up, our makeup starts to flake, cake and look fake. But these cushion foundations for dry skin may be the answer! They hydate, even out skin tone and give a radiant finish that lasts for hours.

Missha Signature Essence Cushion

Why we love it: combines skincare with coverage

This multitasking cushion foundation contains a 42.6% moisturising essence made of hyaluronic acid and birch sap. These help brighten skin and boost moisture levels, so you fight dullness and dryness from within. We only wish this came in darker shades, since it’s only available in Fair and Light Beige.

April Skin Perfect Magic Cover Fit Cushion

Why we love it: Flawless matte finish

 You won’t need constant touch ups, even on a very hot day! This cushion foundation covers all imperfections and leaves a matte finish that lasts for hours. And since you don’t need much to even out your skin tone, your makeup looks natural and feels really light.

Nars Aqua Glow Cushion Foundation

Why we love it: protects skin from pollution and sun damage

Whoever made this foundation completely understood the challenges of living in a hot, tropical city. It’s sweat-proof, feel lights on the skin, has a cooling sensation, and fights free radical damage. It comes in a wide range of skin tones and doesn’t oxidise. You even get buildable coverage, so you can apply only as much as you need for a truly natural looking glow.

The Face Shop Ultra Moist CC Cushion

Why we love it: feels like you’re not wearing anything

This is the best cushion foundation for women who generally don’t like wearing makeup or a lot of sticky layers of skincare + base. Its hyaluronic acid and flower oil essences gives colour correction, moisturization and anti-aging. And it’s so easy to blend and absorb. If you’re always on the go and don’t have time for complicated morning skincare and makeup routines, this one’s for you!

Hera Black Cushion

Why we love it: full coverage

It’s hard to find a cushion foundation that gives heavy-duty coverage similar to what you’d get from liquid or cream foundations. But this South Korean cult favourite can! It can cover blemishes and scars, lasts a lot longer than other cushion foundations, and is super convenient to apply. Get that full studio makeup finish without having to lug around bottles, sponges and brushes!
