BANILA CO Covericious Ultimate Cover Cushion Foundations Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Banila Co., the amazing K-Beauty brand, is known around the world for their the No.1 cleansing balm, and they have now added an incredible cushion foundation to their collection of products. Banila Co Covericious Ultimate Cover Cushion Foundation is available in 20 shades, each cushion offers buildable medium-to-full coverage with a soft-matte finish. I have 5 of the shades to share with you today.

According to BANILA CO,

Available in 20 expertly calibrated shades for fair to deep skin tones, experience long-lasting comfort and coverage with Banila Co’s high-performance Korean cushion foundation. Offering up to 100 hours of wear, each cushion blends seamlessly with your undertone to create a bright, natural-looking complexion without oxidizing or turning dull throughout the day. Designed to resist sweat and transfer,this formula stays fresh and even from morning to night.

Each cushion offers buildable medium-to-full coverage with a soft-matte finish. This visibly blurs pores and texture while delivering a lightweight, breathable feel that is never heavy or cakey. Formulated with skin-fitting powders, each skincare infused formula incorporates White Truffle, (rich in Vitamin B12 and antioxidants) and a complex of 8 white flowers including jasmine, lotus, and edelweiss. These ingredients help brighten dull skin, boost radiance, and soothe irritation, keeping your skin calm and hydrated even under makeup.

Each cushion is also designed with Banila Co’s exclusive white cushion puff, featuring a soft, bouncy texture that hugs the skin. Its unique shape makes it easy to glide or tap along facial contours, helping apply the formula thinly and evenly.

Each of the 5 colors that I received, shown below, apply effortlessly. They glide across the skin beautifully, deposit color evenly and they don't settle into pores or lines. The soft matte finish is quite natural and looks like skin, rather than makeup. It offers buildable medium to full coverage, but with a very light touch I am able to achieve my favorite lighter coverage (the my skin, but better appearance). Of the 5 shades that I received, 21C Rosé is my best match since it is a cool-toned neutral pink beige, and it gives my skin a flawless finish. It feels comfortable on the skin, it remains in place all day long until I remove it, and it never flakes, peels or looks as though I am wearing a mask. Banila Co claims that this foundation offers up to 100 hours of wear, but that is not a claim that I have tested, or that I intend to test since I would never go 4 days without washing my face, let alone without removing my makeup.

Erborian BB Crème Au Ginseng Cushion Compact & Erborian BB Crème au Ginseng | Review and Swatches

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

I have always preferred light-coverage foundations, tinted moisturizers and BB creams over full-coverage foundations– because I like to see my skin through my finishing products, and I definitely prefer a natural finish. Matte foundations don't appeal to me, nor do overly dewy finishes. I prefer a dewy, but natural finish that perfects, rather than conceals, the skin. I really love Erborian's CC Crème (Reviewed HERE), and was therefore very excited to try their Erborian Liquid BB Crème Au Ginseng Cushion Compact & Erborian BB Crème au Ginseng. I only wish that Erborian had a wider range of colors so that more people could enjoy their lovely BB Crèmes. I wear Clair in both formulas, which is a perfect match for my cool-toned skin, and it never oxidizes on my skin.

Erborian Liquid BB Crème Au Ginseng Cushion Compact ($48.00 for 0.49 oz. from Erborian and Sephora): This Liquid BB Crème glides across the skin effortlessly, deposits color evenly and it neither settles into, nor emphasizes, pores and fine lines. It feels very light on the skin and the formula is hydrating. It offers light buildable coverage with a natural slightly dewy finish, and it lasts all day on my normal-combination skin. Skin shows through, but appears more even in tone and perfected, and it leaves behind no greasy residue. It has a light fresh scent that fades after a few minutes. Available in two shades: Clair and Doré (both shades swatched below).

According to Erborian,

An easily portable, liquid BB cream enriched with ginseng for a flawless-looking complexion and immediate hydration. Held in a soft cushion, Liquid BB Crème helps to enhance the complexion and immediately moisturize your skin. Enriched with ginseng, known in Korea for its smoothing properties, the formula provides sheer coverage and helps to even out skin tone, conceal imperfections, reduce the visible signs of aging, and provide a feeling of freshness with instant hydration. Layer as you wish for more buildable coverage throughout the day.

Solutions for: Uneven skin tone, dryness, dullness and uneven texture.

Directions: Press the cushion gently with the sponge to release Liquid BB Crème. Pat on or smooth over the face.

Ingredients: Water, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Ci 77891/Titanium Dioxide, Methyl Trimethicone, Dimethicone, Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone, Lauryl Peg-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Pentylene Glycol, Mica, Caprylyl Methicone, Trisiloxane, Peg-10 Dimethicone, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Dioscorea Villosa (Wild Yam) Root Extract, Kigelia Africana Fruit Extract, Equisetum Giganteum Extract, Lauroyl Lysine, Magnesium Sulfate, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Acrylates/Stearyl Acrylate/Dimethicone Methacrylate Copolymer, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Stearic Acid, Aluminum Hydroxide, Alumina, Disodium Edta, Tocopherol, Fragrance, Hexyl Cinnamal, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Linalool, Citronellol, Geraniol, Eugenol, Limonene, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Ci 77492/Iron Oxides, Ci 77491/Iron Oxides, Ci 77499/Iron Oxides.

The built in sponge applicator offers the perfect application, and no other tools are needed to blend for a perfect finish.

Erborian BB Crème au Ginseng ($39.00 for 1.5 oz. from Erborian, Sephora, Feel Unique, Space NK UK and Soko Glam): This BB Crème is lightweight on the skin, but it offers buildable coverage. Like their cushion BB Crème, this one also glides across the skin effortlessly, deposits color evenly, and it neither emphasizes, nor settles into, fine lines and pores. With a lighter application, skin shows through, and it appears more even in tone and texture. It leaves skin hydrated with a lovely luminescence, though it is described as mattifying, and it does not leave behind any sort of greasy residue.

It definitely creates the coveted my-skin-but-better look, while the buildable coverage allows for the concealment of scars, sun-spots, and other imperfections that one might seek to conceal. It also includes a broad-spectrum SPF 20, but I wear an additional sunscreen since I never wear less than an SPF 30.  It also has a light fresh scent that fades after a few minutes. Available in three shades: Clair, Doré and Caramel.

According to Erborian,

A five-in-one BB Cream made with ginseng for flawless-looking coverage and protection. This lightweight, five-in-one primer provides a buildable and mattifying coverage for your perfect base to be worn alone or under your favorite makeup look. With three shades formulated to match wide ranges of skin tones, the creamy texture blends easily and helps to minimize the look of pores and skin imperfections for a primed canvas. Broad-spectrum SPF 20 helps to shield skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays, and the result is a protected complexion that feels soft with a velvety, non-oily finish.

Ginseng is ideal for skincare formulation, offering moisturizing and smoothing properties. During the growth process, the root pulls many nutrients from the soil making it a prized ingredient for skincare. Erborian’s ginseng takes four to six years to reach maturity before it can be harvested.

Solutions for: Uneven skin tone. Dullness and uneven texture.

Select Ingredients and Their Attributes: Ethylhexy l Methoxycinnamate, Octinoxate, Titanium Dioxide, and Zinc Oxide: Provide sunscreen properties. Ginseng: Moisturizes and smooths.

Ingredients: Water, Cyclomethicone, Glycerin, Peg-10 Dimethicone, Dipropylene Glycol, Di-Methicone, Talc, Isoeicosane, Hexyl Laurate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Betaine, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Dioscorea Villosa (Wild Yam) Root Extract, Mequisetum Giganteum Extract, Kigelia Africana Fruit Extract, Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Magne, Sium Sulfate, Silica, Glycosyl Trehalose, Aluminum Hydroxide, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Phenoxyethanol , Butylene Glycol, Acrylates/Dimethicone Co -Polymer, Dimethicone /Vinyl Di-Methicone Crosspolymer, Methicone, Vinyl Dimethicone /Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Fragrance, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool, Citronellol, Geraniol , Eugenol, Limonene, Ci 77492/Iron Oxides , Ci 77499/Iron Oxides, Ci 77491/Iron Oxide.

Left to Right: Liquid BB Crème Au Ginseng Cushion Compact in Clair and Doré and BB Crème au Ginseng in Clair and Caramel. Intersting Clair is a bit different in hue between the two BB Crèmes. The cushion variant is slightly warmer, but once applied to my face it isn't at all noticeable.

Overall Assessment: I love the formula and coverage of both of the Erborian BB Crèmes, but wish that they offered a wider range of shades so that many more people could enjoy their lovely formulas.
