Laneige is my favorite high end beauty products, with my love affair starting after falling in love with their Laniege Water Sleeping Pack, since then i've bought a whole host of Laneige products, each and everyone being amazing quality and just generally fantastic products. I have really grown to love them & you may have read my reviews for a few of them. Today, we are delving into their BB cushion [Pore Control].
Laneige currently has a few different types of BB Cushion in the market. This exact one you are seeing here is the latest updated version of the BB Cushion [Pore Control] (Other variants include the original BB cushion, anti-aging etc).
The full package of the Laneige BB Cushion comes with a mirrored compact case, instruction pamphlet as well as two refill cushions( one of which is already in the compact). The offical Laneige lists 5 shades which coverages from light to medium to dark skin tones although most stores tend to carry the 3 lightest tone.
A closer look at the cushion itself, shows a soft sponge which holds the foundation.
A simple pat with the enclosed sponge into the cushion picks up a small amount of product that you can blend over your face in a patting motion. The foundation has the classic (heavy) Laneige fragrance that will linger around for a few hours after application. I do not mind the smell but I'd prefer they make it a little milder though.
Here, I'm wearing No 21. True beige- the calm natural beige for chic and natural skin.
Remember! Make sure you get the correct tone. You wouldn't wanna look ghastly pale or darker right? *Seek assistance if you need help in getting the suitable shade.
Doing a little finger swatching with the foundation reveals a creamy consistency. The swatch photo above is a really good representation of how creamy the foundation is.
I seriously cannot recommend this Laneige BB Cushion [Pore Control] enough. It's lightweight and easy to carry it around thanks to the mirror, it has amazingly build-able coverage, it gives my skin a natural glow, it leaves a gradient radiant finish, it is also long-wearing- lasting a good 6 hours before any touch-ups are required which is impressive. My claims might seem a bit biased for some but If you've read numerous reviews on my blog, you'll know i'm very critical over every product i reviewed.
If you are on the lookout for a new BB cushion, you certainly need to give this a try! As for me....i will most definitely be picking this up again :)

THE FINAL VERDICT
This is my first time laying my hands on a BB cushion and I'm very impressed by the results. The Laneige BB cushion did an excellent job in the coverage, the consistency, the longevity etc. It keeps my skin hydrated throughout the day. No other breakouts, negative reactions or skin issues to report which is great! I like it how it provides a natural satin glow yet keeps my skin hydrated and moisturized and feeling lightweight is exactly what i need. Consistency wise, it has a cooling sensation after application. Coverage wise, it's definitely build-able but i wouldn't recommend you to apply more than a layer- Because once i dabbed more than necessary, it really felt heavy and uncomfortable on my skin. Just a single layer provides you enough coverage that gets you satisfied. Longevity wise, it is long lasting than any other foundation. Best suited for dry to combination skin rather than oily skin.
My favorite way of applying it has to be with the Laneige Water Base CC cream, adding coverage where i need it without leaving my skin look cakey and plastered in foundation. So on days where you want to rock a 'no make-up day', you can simply dab on the cushion on the areas you need to cover up, like blemishes or uneven skin tone and your skin will look flawless with no sign of any foundation. Days where my skin is dry...This Laneige BB cushion really comes in handy. It's incredible ability to disguise my dry patches very well. Until using this bb cushion, i'd never found a product that would actually make a difference to my dry patches and would either cling onto them or just emphasize them further.
