Cushion compacts, are makeup/skincare products that come in a sponge built inside of the cushion compact case. By gently pressing the special-made puff onto the sponge soaked with cosmetic product, users get a perfect amount of product and an easy, mess-free application. It’s smaller in size, and does not require a beaty blender or a brush to apply, therefore became very popular for its portability.
According to an article online(https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/beauty-files-need-know-cushion-foundations), the first cushion foundation came out around 2002, and in 2008 IOPE, a Korean cosmetic company, launched their cushion cosmetic products, and opened the world’s first cushion product category. As we all know, Korean style makeup goes for a natural, no-makeup finish, therefore the cushion foundation’s formula was more on the dewy side, and thinner than normal liquid foundation, which means they provide a lower coverage effect. Nowadays, cushion compacts are so much more than foundation products: foundation (duh), color correction products, sunscreen, serum, blush, bronzer, and even brow products!
When it comes to packaging, the most important thing is to choose a company that is trustworthy. Choose us, Sengmi packaging. We are not only good at writing articles, making production videos, but so much more importantly, we are a trustworthy cosmetic packaging manufacturer that provides free design service.
The second most important thing about packaging, is the design. A cushion compact mainly consists of five parts.
For starters, the first thing you’ll see on a cushion compact is the top of it. This part is often in the shape of a flat dome, logos and art designs are printed on top of it. And then it’s assembled onto the cover of the compact. Inside of the cover is a cosmetic mirror, cut to the perfect shape to be glued onto the inside. ABS and AS plastic material are often used for the covers.
Next, it’s the middle part of the compact. First, there’s a circle that fixes the interchangeable part that holds the makeup product. One clever design on the circle, or as we call it, the middle holder, is that a piece of silicon is stuck in the back of it, to make the cover pop off in a satisfying way when pressed open.
Inside of it, is the interchangeable plastic tank with a sponge that soaks up the product. This design allows consumers to purchase the refills to continue using the product, and not buying another compact. Its special design helps the moisture to stay inside of the sponge, so that it doesn’t dry out easily. A puff for applying the product is placed on top of the refill. In a word, there are two sponges in a cushion compact. In addition, there are also different types of dispensers too! Like plain sponge, sponge with a mesh on the top, rubber filter with patterns on them, or even a squeeze bottle inserted instead of sponge. Each evolved from the original design, and developed phenomenal branding effects.

The bottom of the compact is wrapped around the middle holder, and interlocks with the cover. It’s often designed round and glossy, making it easy and comfortable to hold. At the bottom of compact, users can push the refill tank out of the compact with their thumbs, and place a new one on the inside. Simple, quick, and mess-free.
From Korea to all around the world, cushion foundation has really taken off on a long journey, bringing Asian beauty to everybody’s makeup bag.
