10 Cushion Compacts For Smooth Coverage On The Go

Feb. 17, 2017

One of my very first memories of makeup was watching my mother apply her foundation before applying her lipstick. My next memories with makeup involved caking on foundation for numerous dance competitions and recitals. What do these memories have in common? Compacts. But the foundation compacts of today aren't like the ones from my memories. They're better in so many different ways — not only do they make your skin look even more flawless, cushion compacts are also made with tons of good-for-your-skin ingredients. Some of them even have SPF built into it, which allows you to touch up and protect your face throughout the day.

The best part? A cushion compact is simple and easy, and it can do it all. It serves as the base for the rest of your makeup; it helps even out the skin tone with its skin-perfecting ingredients; and it acts as a primer for other beauty elements. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the portable compact is also perfect for anyone who's constantly on the go — and really, who isn't?

I've rounded up some of the best cushion compacts for you to check out and try. Once you've found the right one for you, there's no going back. Trust me.
