Essence Silky Cushion Foundation - 168

The oil-free formula is generally gentle, but we recommend checking the ingredient list for any personal sensitivities.

Yes, you can use a dense synthetic foundation brush, though the cushion puff is designed to give the most natural, seamless finish.

The product description does not list SPF, so it is recommended to apply a separate sunscreen underneath.

Essence offers various shades like 110 Nude, 155 Beige, and 168. We recommend matching the shade to your jawline in natural light.

Essence is known for its commitment to cruelty-free practices; please verify the specific packaging for the most current certification details.

Yes, it works well with most concealers, provided you apply the foundation first and then spot-conceal where necessary.

Ensure you are using a dabbing or stippling motion rather than dragging the applicator across the skin, and apply in thinner, buildable layers.

Try flipping the sponge cushion over using clean tweezers to redistribute the product that may have settled at the bottom of the container.

Lightly dust the T-zone with a translucent setting powder to lock the waterproof formula in place for longer wear.
