The last time I was visiting home, I got dragged to some Neiman Marcus beauty event by my mother and cousin. In between being almost decapitated by the pillars of our community lusting after a sample of Creme de la Mer, my cousin found the AmorePacific counter and bought their color control cushion compact. AmorePacific, by the way, is apparently the first company that made cushion compacts a thing.

The color ended up being too light for my cousin but she gave it to me to test out and man did I fall in love with it. As you can see, I have some scarring on my chin, but I hate wearing heavy foundation because while it covers up the scars, it makes the rest of my face look like a mask. The AmorePacific compact is the perfect in between. I get a nice wash of color but it still feels like…my skin. It’s so easy to put on (there’s a soft sponge included) and lasts pretty much all day. To those balking at the price, I get it, but you do get TWO compacts with it and I know some makeup lines where you have to sell your kidney for an ounce of foundation.

If you’re any darker than me, you’re out of luck because my color (208) is the darkest they have for now (get your shit together, AmorePacific!) But for those looking for a “me but better” vibe for their foundation, check this one out!
