A Drugstore BB Cushion That Works!




As much as I would love to do the "pabitin", you probably saw the answer on the cover photo of this blog post!  I am amazed on how this "underrated" Maybelline BB Cushion could stay "this quiet" after trying this out for months!  

Well, don't get too excited, that's just me!  It works for my skin type and the shade is just perfect!

According to Maybelline BB Cushion ---
A cushion-type BB that creates a radiant poreless finish.
Delivers impressive full coverage with a natural finish;  evens out skin tone and minimizes the appearance of blemishes;  nourishes and moisturizes skin with 60 percent esscence; enriched with pure mineral pigments; protects with SPF29 PA+++; leaves skin looking healthy and luminous.


The packaging is housed in a "non-Maybelline-looking" packaging.  It's actually a gorgeous BB Cushion packaging in nude compact with a bit of a dusty-rose metallic flip-cap.  If you ask me, the look won me over!

Now as to any BB Cushion, it come with a sponge that is comparable to the high-end ones.

It also comes with a "flip cap" which is extremely important if you own a BB Cushion.  This cap must be SEALED at all times to prevent the cushion from drying out.

Upon purchase, it comes with a sticker sealed for freshness!  I actually was a bit too OC I return this sticker up until this very moment!

03 Natural shade is perfect for me!  It has a yellow undertone making it a perfect bet for those with warm skin tone.  

How to use?  Just gently press the cushion using light-hand with the sponge that comes with the compact.  Please try your best not to press too hard as a little goes a long way!

As for application to ANY BB Cushion, the application should always be with a short, quick, dabbing motion.  I like to concentrate more at the areas of my face that needed more coverage and use the least amount on my "clear skin" areas.

To those who feel more comfortable using a brush, you may use a flat top kabuki brush or foundation brush to apply this!  But I chose to use the sponge because really, the magic happens with the help of the sponge!

Before and After

AMW says ---

  • The Maybelline BB Cushion gives medium to heavy coverage.
  • Works for normal and dry skin.
  • Keep skin hydrated all throughout the day without drying out.
  • Oily skin users may find this a bit too hydrating so it is very important to use an oil-control primer and set oily areas properly with a setting powder.
  • Maybelline BB Cushon gives my skin a radiant glow.
  • Can hide redness, certain spots and undereye circles.

  2. I DIY my own cushion because I can't find a cushion that stays on in my oily skin. Anyway, I love the thefaceshop's full stay cc cushion because it withstand my oily skin but, I can use it all up in less than a week of everyday use and it is costly on my part.
