Overview & background
The cushion compact — a foundation or BB cream soaked into a sponge cushion, applied with a puff and topped by a mirror lid — is a Korean beauty innovation that reshaped base makeup. Using a glass base for the compact adds weight and a luxury finish that plastic compacts cannot match.
A gradient or ombré spray on the glass creates a jewel-like, light-shifting effect, turning a functional compact into a desirable object on the vanity.
