Editor’s Note

Cushion foundation was pioneered around 2013 by IOPE, followed by a slew of other major K beauty brands. It’s essentially a cream foundation but with a spongey “cushion” that the foundation is pushed through—resulting in a dreamy, smooth, and matte-but-not-dry coverage when applied with a makeup puff. I first noticed my cousin using it in 2019. She always looked like she had perfect skin—I had no idea that she struggled with acne until I saw her makeup-free. That flawlessly natural coverage should’ve been a clue, but it was only last year when someone gifted me an IOPE Super Vital Cushion Foundation SPF 50++ that I realized what I’d been missing out on. It gives me a perfectly even, porcelain, and luxurious finish with only a very thin layer of a single product. I don’t like to waste something that was gifted to me, so I will use the IOPE cushion foundation ($69.99 on Amazon) until it runs out. But afterwards, I would like to try a cushion foundation from a brand that’s definitely cruelty-free.

After extensive research I found only ONE cushion foundation by a brand that’s definitely cruelty-free and doesn’t sell in China. It’s Future Skin Cushion Foundation  by Chantecaille, which is quickly turning into my all-time favorite beauty brand for skincare and makeup. This luxurious and cruelty-free brand donates a portion of their proceeds to various conservation partners. This cushion foundation in particular benefits Sheldrick Trust, an African elephant rescue and conservation NGO. It also is a great deal considering that it comes with a refill!
