If you ask us, one K-beauty invention that we are most thankful for is cushion compacts. They are portable, easy to use, and can give us a fresh-faced look with just a few taps. One big problem that we encounter though, is the lack of diversity in shade ranges. This poses a big problem for morenas because the colors only cater to fair complexions, leaving brown-skinned Pinays in the dark.
That said, we listed down the brands that offer cushion compacts with shade ranges that are more than just the usual milky and beige tones. Keep on scrolling for your next holy grail product:
Innisfree My To Go Cushion
Korean compact cushions usually just cater to fair and medium skin tones, so imagine our delight when famous brand Innisfree released the My To Go Cushion. It comes in 10 shades that range from light to deep hues. Plus, My To Go Cushion offers buildable coverage and delivers a dewy finish. If you're still not convinced, our favorite morena YouTuber, Johnreyslife, loves it!
