Radiant Cushion Foundation

Despite the item info requested, the shade that I have is O20, which is the same shade that I use in CdP’s liquid foundations. I have to say that cushion foundations have really spoiled me. They apply and settle quickly, can be built up to medium coverage and are portable. What more can you want in a luxury cosmetic product? There is a slight learning curve for those new to cushion foundation, ranging from nest application to getting the most out of an expensive product. The nest application for me is to press the applicator into the sponge a couple of times, then roll it onto the skin, concentrating in the center, then smoothing it out toward the edges. To me, this is very similar to targeted application of powder. The result is a seamless, light application of foundation. Because you’re exerting pressure on the top of the sponge, you’re effectively pushing the foundation to the bottom of the sponge. When you reach the point where you’re not getting sufficient foundation on the applicator, simply turn the sponge over. The sponge can be turned over several times before all of the foundation is exhausted. I’ve been using my cushion foundation since March, without problems. It’s just now reaching the point where I need a refill and I’m seriously considering adding some of my liquid foundation to the sponge to see if its use can be expanded further. I was surprised that several reviewers commented about only having three weeks’ use and wonder if any attempt to turn the cushion was made. If the answer is yes, then I’d certainly contact Cle de Peau immediately. My experience has been very good. I love the convenience and skin care benefits of this product. I especially love how easy it is to get a light application. Is it the best cushion foundation that I’ve used? No, because the shade is slightly off for me. However, it’s my second favorite and I don’t hesitate to recommend it.

I love this foundation. Application is easy and blends beautifully. It leaves your skin feeling very smooth. However, Nordstrom only offers this one shade online and I found it too light for my Asian skin color. My usual shade is 030 Ocher. I did find the 030 shade online at Neiman Marcus who offered the foundation in 6 shades.

I only use this cle de peau foundation and the one in the gold jar. This one in the cushion compact is hands down my most favorite. It doesn’t over cover. It doesn’t irritate my eye area or skin. The color is gorgeous and luminous wo too many steps. Literally just this w concealer and a touch of powder. Just love this translucent but not too translucent wear.
