While YSL, Dior, Lancome and other big brands have made further upgrades to cushion products, Shiseido has just launched its first cushion foundation, which is called "smart" and named Fluid Cushion with Muscle Strain. Judging from the official introduction, the "intelligence" of this cushion lies in the fact that it can sense the user's skin state, so as to even out the skin tone, absorb shine, and maintain a clear and flawless makeup, which is not easy to remove makeup and dullness. In fact, the brightening glow comes from a skin-brightening powder that refracts light to improve the appearance of a dull complexion.
Aside from these concepts, from the perspective of actual use, the reputation of the strain cushion is quite good. At present, it has launched a spring and summer whitening model, a white-box packaging freckle removal and whitening cushion, and an autumn-winter moisturizing model and a black box packaging of the same name foundation. The white cushion focuses on brightening and oil control, mainly brightening the skin tone, anti-dullness, matte finish, suitable for oily skin. The black cushion is the most popular, and it is excellent in terms of coverage, staying power, and moisturizing, and it not only gives a creamy makeup effect on the face, but also feels like cream on the face, and is very delicate and silky. The coverage effect of the black cushion is amazing, even if you don't add extra coverage later, it can still be called a good base makeup, which is very suitable for users with dry skin and blemishes. Both cushions have a certain sun protection function, with the white cushion SPF of SPF 40 and the black cushion of only SPF23.
In terms of the choice of shades, the strain cushion also reflects the meticulousness of the Japanese base makeup, which is different from the European and American base makeup shades but there is little difference, although there are only four options: N2 pink white, N3 pink two white, G2 natural white and G3 natural two white, but as long as you determine whether you are yellowish or white, you can choose a shade that is closer to your skin tone.
