DIY Cushion Foundation

last year cushion is a big hit in Korea, plus early this year Lancome has launched Miracle Cushion early this year with wide color range for every skin tone.  What is so good about this sponge soaked with foundation? isn't just like wearing foundation with sponge?

well based on my personal experience, it makes applying the base makeup more evenly and effortlessly. The cushion (sponge soaked with foundation) help to pickup foundation with enough amount and evenly. and all you need to do is stamp the product on your face. It's so easy to achieve a nice makeup base. No crazy buffing, no blotchy looking makeup base. My mom said that she always get compliment every time she use Etude House Precious Mineral Any Cushion and she also impress how easy and practical to use it and how it make her skin look glowing.

  "This product is part of our patented Fluid Capture Technology, which basically transforms a low-viscosity liquid into a refined emulsion via cushion delivery," explains Nathalie Paiva, senior manager of marketing and public relations at AmorePacific. "This allows for a uniquely weightless and buildable coverage."

That also means layering is not only possible, but encouraged: The more product you tap into your skin, the more dewy coverage you get. And that's not the only benefit: "The ability to incorporate a broad spectrum SPF 50 into such a light formula is a point of differentiation that sets this product apart," Paiva says. "Our research and development team worked tirelessly to ensure we could deliver flawless coverage without even a hint of the white cast that's so common in other SPF products." So now, you can reapply every two hours and get breathable, gorgeous coverage. Pretty genius, huh? - Phillip Picardi, Teen Vogue

Sadly since it was from South Korea, I had trouble to find the shade that match my skin tone. I'm dying to try miracle cushion from lancome, but sadly not yet launch any time soon in Indonesia. So I decided to go on creative route and create my own Cushion Foundation.

1. Dispose the remaining product by took off the sponge, squeeze remaining product from the sponge then I clean the container.

2. You could also wash the sponge, but I just squeeze mine and left a little.

3. In the clean container I pump my own mix, and stir to combine them evenly. Then spread the mixture evenly, till it covers the bottom parts evenly.

4. Put back the sponge to the container. Tap the sponge several time till the sponge soaked the mix.

5. Time to try try your cushion, you could adjust the colour by add more darker color foundation if it was too light, vice versa.

Ps. My secret mix

Halloween 2013

Okay I didn't go to any Halloween party, I just got home from the parent meeting from my brother school, order some Chinese food and then had date with my dentist. But night is still long, it's Halloween, everybody dress up, and I'm feeling creative. I put some make up and Tadaaa...

I dress as Nü gui, in chinese folkore this ghost is the spirit of a woman who committed suicide while wearing a red dress. Usually, she met with some injustice when she was alive, such as being wronged or sexually abused. She returns to take her revenge.The dress, I got it for Chinese new year in 2012, My cousin ask me, "Did you watch the horror movie about the girl who killed while wearing a red dress, and then the spirit haunt the killer for revenge". What an info sis, and such an inspiration.

Eventually I got extra time and creativity left from last night that I try to make some gore...
All I use only tissue, eyelid glue, some foundation and dark brown shadow and red nail polish.
