AmorePacific Color Control Cushion Compact

Hello peeps!

Yesterday I was walking through the halls of Sephora (which is never a good idea, and my wallet doesn’t appreciate it at all) and I stopped at the AmorePacific section.

I am a huge fan of AmorePacific and its cosmetics brands. They own Etude House, Innisfree, Aritaum, Laneige, IOPE, Mamonde, and a whole other bunch other of brands.

This time I wanted to try the CC Cushion so I went ahead and grabbed it.

Here are my thoughts!

The packaging is very sleek. It looks very luxurious and it fits well in the hand.

It comes with a mirror and a cushion puff.

OKAY… SO LET’S TRY THIS BAD BOY!

Here is my bare face.

I have uneven skin tone and I have some crazy hyper pigmentation happening under my left eye. My hope for this CC Cushion is to be able to correct those, that way I don’t have to wear too much makeup.

After the Cushion:

I was actually very impressed with this CC Cushion. It legit controls any discoloration and it makes your skin tone pretty even.

It helped quite a bit with my under eye hyper pigmentation, but it didn’t cover it completely. But it is one of the only product that actually does a decent job covering it.

This CC Cushion also leaves your skin with a dewy finish. Since it is summer here I need to control it with some powder, but it’s nothing too complicated. It does brighten the skin and it leaves it with a cooling sensation.

 Another plus for this product is that it has broad spectrum SPF 50. It protects against UVB and also UVA rays. So if you are lazy like me, you don’t have to worry about putting sunscreen on xD

To use I pat the product on my face. I lot of people sweep it on the face, but that isn’t my style.

If you are wondering how this compares to the Laneige BB Cushion, I would start by saying that these two have two different purposes. The Laneige BB focuses on giving a little bit more of coverage and the AmorePacific focuses on color correcting. They both give a dewy finish, but the AmorePacif does a better job at correcting discoloration and blemishes. The price is also different. The Laneige BB Cushion retails for $30 bucks @ Target and the CC Cushion is $60 bucks @ Sephora. They both come with a replacement cushion.

CONCLUSION

  • Really good product. It covered blemishes and it also helped quite a lot cover my under eye hyper pigmentation.
  • The packaging is luxurious and it looks really sturdy too.
  • I would say that it is reasonably priced. It costs $60 dollars but you also get a second cushion.
  • I wished there were more colors. The one that I got it’s a bit darker than my skin tone, but the other colors were too light.
  • I give this product a 5/5
