With the recent launch of this new Laneige BB Cushion Hydra Radiance SPF 50 foundation at Sephora I was ecstatic to test it out!What is it?
Sephora describes this product as: A radiance-enhancing, hydrating version of LANEIGE’s BB Cushion. It contains SPF 50 broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection, making it perfect foundation for fun in the sun. It’s a 5-in-1 under the sun skin care in a compact. It hydrates, brightens, colour corrects, and soothes all skin types.
How does it work?
Sephora also claims that it is an “exclusive Melacrusher™ brightening technology evens skin and creates a flawless complexion. Double-coated pigments, infused with micro pearls and moisturizer, ensure long-lasting hydration and a luminous finish. Features an exclusive Skin Fit air cushion and dense antimicrobial applicator for a thin even layer of coverage every time.”
Simply press the cushion puff on the BB cushion, twist and pat onto skin evenly. Repeat process for buildable coverage.
Is It Worth It?
I was skeptical about BB foundations because I love a full coverage foundation. I’m a full glam kind of gal, but during the summer months you definitely don’t want to be wearing full glam to the beach or pool. That’s when this product comes in handy. It’s super lightweight and medium to full coverage. I love that it has SPF 50 in it as well. It’s a lightweight foundation that hides all blemishes and imperfections, and protects you from the sun. The only complaint I have is that even though it claims to be hydrating I found it to be slightly drying. I have dry skin and therefore don’t love when foundations are drying because they tend to crack on my skin. I found that using a setting spray after can help.
Overall, I think this product just became my summer staple!
