Editor's note: Here at Cosmo, we're all about being up to date with the latest drops from all*the beauty brands, finding hidden gems already out there, and finding our next Holy Grail. And don't worry—we're not gatekeeping!
Every day, we post one beauty product from our stash at the office (because trust us, we get a lot of them) and give you a no-nonsense lowdown on each item. You get all the info in just one click. It's a TL;DR, if you will. They're all in one daily series: The Beauty FYP, a page that's all about beauty—just for you (see what we did there?). Let the Cosmo editors be your personal algorithm. ;)
If there's one product I wish I didn't need, it would have to be foundation. Most of them tend to feel heavy AF, and as someone with oily skin, it's a sensory overload. However, since I'm dealing with a couple of dark marks that have to be covered up with foundation (and not just concealer). Fortunately, there are a ton of brands that are coming out with lightweight formulas that still have buildable coverage—a win-win!
If you're also like me and you're still on the search for a foundation that checks all those things and more, you might want to give today's #BeautyFYP a read. Here, we'll be giving you the 411 on everything you need to know about SOLA Beauty's latest base product: the Cushion Ultra Matte.
Will it be the newest addition to your makeup kit? Read on to learn more:
What is the SOLA Cushion Ultra Matte?
It's a base product that claims to be a primer, foundation, and concealer all in one, which can effectively cut down time in your morning makeup routine—it even offers SPF protection! (Though we still recommend using your regular sunscreen before applying it, JSYK!) It offers buildable medium to full coverage with a glowy, matte-but-not-flat finish. It's said to last up to 18 hours with proper application and prep.
Who's it for?
This product is perfect for the girlies who are always in a rush in the morning. *raises hand* Since it offers enough coverage that it can work as a foundation and concealer, it can shave away the precious minutes you spend getting ready. It's also great if you're looking for something that can offer you coverage without feeling heavy or cakey.
What are the ingredients in the SOLA Cushion Ultra Matte?
The latest addition to SOLA's lineup of bases contains four (!) different types of Korean algae to hydrate and nourish your skin. It also has a broad UV spectrum that can offer additional protection from the sun's rays to prevent premature aging and worsening of dark spots.
What are the shades of the SOLA Cushion Ultra Matte?
As of writing, it's available in Light Beige and Sand Beige. Fingers crossed they come out with more shades soon like they did for their Foundation Primer!
How much is it?
It costs P479.
Where can I buy it?
You can purchase the Cushion Ultra Matte on SOLA's official Shopee and Lazada stores and on their TikTok Shop. If you want to try out its shades IRL before biting the bullet and buying it, SOLA also offers it at 7-Eleven, Watsons, and Mercury Drug branches nationwide.
