What is Cushion Compact?
쿠션
Sponge-delivered foundation
Cushion compacts are a K-beauty innovation where liquid foundation is infused into a sponge inside a compact case. You press a puff into the sponge to pick up product, then pat it onto skin for a natural, dewy finish. Invented by AmorePacific in 2008, cushion compacts revolutionized the beauty industry and have been widely copied by Western brands.
