Clio – Kill Cover Founwear Cushion All New

Clio relaunched their bestselling “Kill Cover Founwear Cushion” with a new improved formula that provides thinner and finer coverage for over 54 hours.

“Kill Cover Founwear Cushion All New” is a semi-matte cushion that effectively minimizes the appearance of pores and blemishes. Its formula is resistant to both oil and moisture, allowing the cushion to stay in place all day, even when wearing a face mask.

Additionally, the cushion puff included with the product was redesigned to enhance performance and adhesion to the skin. The new water-drop shape allows precise application and perfect adherence even in the most delicate and narrow parts of the face.

The shade range was also extended to 7: #1.5 Fair, #2 Lingerie, #2.5 Ivory, #3 Linen, #3.5 Vanilla, #4 Ginger and #5 Sand.

Iope – Air Cushion [5th generation]

Iope launched the 5th generation of their renowned “Air Cushion” with a new, thinner formula that adheres better to the skin.

The new cushion was reformulated using Air Cover, a specialised technology that makes the particles in the formulas finer and more uniform. This allowed Iope to create a highly-breathable and comfortable formula that helps restore and maintain the ideal water and oil balance of the skin, for maximum long-lasting comfort.

Additionally, Iope added a film former agent to the formula to prevent it from smudging when wearing a face mask. Lastly, the product was formulated using a Microbiome technology to soothe and strengthen skin.

Air Cushion Natural

Air Cushion Cover

The new Air Cushion is available in two variants: Air Cushion Cover and Air Cushion Natural. “Air Cushion Cover” is a full-coverage cushion foundation that perfectly conceals blemishes, pores, fine lines and redness for 12 hours without oxidising. Thanks to its innovative ultra-light formula (Air-Light), it adheres thinly to the skin, without looking cakey like most full-coverage makeup.

“Air Cushion Natural” is a moisturising foundation with a a thin formula and a natural-looking, luminous finish. The particles in its formula were double coated with moisturising agents to keep skin hydrated and smooth for a long time.

Both cushions are available in 6 shades: 13N, 17N, 21C, 21N, 23N and 23W.

Hera – Lingerie Collection

Following last year’s enormous success of the shade “Lingerie” from their “Sensual Spicy Nude” lip range, Hera decided to create “Lingerie Collection“, a new limited edition makeup collection based on the popular lip colour.

The collection consists of a cushion, a face palette and two lip products to create many trendy, Lingerie-inspired, nude tone makeup looks.

“Lingerie Collection Nude Glow Multi Palette” is a multi-use face palette that combines one highlighter, one eyeshadow, one bronzer and one face blush, in a convenient compact formula. The palette was formulated with an ultra-fine and soft texture that improves adhesion to the skin and prevents clumping even when using fingers to apply the product, instead of a separate applicator.

“Lingerie Collection Glow Lasting Cushion” is a limited edition repackage of Hera’s bestselling “Glow Lasting Cushion”, a glowy cushion foundation with a thin, natural-looking formula.

“Lingerie Collection Sensual Spicy Nude Gloss [#422 Lingerie]” is a new take on Hera’s iconic “Sensual Spicy Nude Gloss” in the shade “Lingerie”. The new formula was improved to reduce stickiness and improve adhesion to the lips.

Likewise, “Lingerie Collection Sensual Spicy Nude Balm [#423 Lingerie Gold]” is a reinterpretation of Hera’s “Sensual Spicy Nude Balm” in the shade “Lingerie”. The new shade features “Snow Crystal Powders”, light-reflecting particles that add a glamorous shine to the lips, and “Wax Crystal Control Technology”, that makes the formula softer and reduces stickiness.
