Lava Art vs. Regular Foundation: What's The Difference?

What exactly makes our Compact Cushion a better choice from your regular foundation? We break down the difference below. 

Foundation is the essential product of any makeup routine. Whether you're a liquid foundation, tinted moisturizer, BB or CC cream kind of girl, we all use some type of foundation as the base for our makeup. 

In recent times, you may have seen cushion foundations starting to pop up more and more, and there’s a good reason why! Born out of Korea as one of their biggest beauty trends, a cushion foundation is a liquid formula housed in a compact. Other than being super cute, compact cushion foundation really packs a bunch and once you use it, you won’t be able to imagine your makeup routine without it.

But what exactly makes our Compact Cushion a better choice from your regular foundation? We break down the difference below.

Regular Foundations 

Regular foundations are your classic liquid foundations. These generally come in a bottle not fitted with an easy applicator meaning a messy application. Think pouring or pumping it out on your hand first before dabbing a beauty blender or brush into the product and then finally applying it to your face. When you’re in a rush, the last thing you want to worry about is finicking about. 

Regular foundations don’t blend that easy either. If you’re applying with a brush first, you’ll then have to follow up with a beauty blender, and even then full coverage isn’t guaranteed. It's common to use three different foundations from different brands to get the perfect colour and finish which is not always achievable.

Lava Art 

The Lava Art Compact Cushion Foundation is a liquid foundation encompassed in a convenient compact form. The compact cushion comes with its own applicator (the puff) that you use to gently build up seamless coverage. It’s super easy to blend, doesn’t leave any kind of marks and I’ve noticed it’s also easier to apply the rest of the products.

The first thing you notice about our compact cushion is how lightweight it feels on your skin, almost as though you’re not wearing any foundation at all. It’s because we carefully selected 19 natural fruit and floral extracts like star anise, ginseng or blueberries and chamomile to provide your skin with natural nourishment, as well as added SPF 50/PA +++ to protect it from harmful UVB/UVA rays and sun damage.

Depending on your skin type and needs, you can go for the glow or matte options and choose from 10 shades to build up that healthy glow look. And let’s talk about how easy it is to touch up throughout the day! Our compact cushions are easy to keep in your bag, coming complete with your own cute compact case to store your compact and applicator. Fitted with a mirror, touching up on the go is easier than ever.
