I’ve wanted to try cushions for a while, but as a dark-skinned black girl, I was convinced I’d never be able to. I was so happy to find out you could make your own!! Yaaaay!!! Thanks Morgan, you’re a lifesaver!😊

[@Kayveman01]

Tip: it's not necessary to soak the sponge into the bowl. The bowl is good for mixing in foundation, but it's not needed soak the sponge in as well. An alternative is to simply mix the foundation/sunscreen/what ever product in the bowl, pour it into the cartridge, put in the sponge, then close the cushion. Place the cushion pact upside down so that the product can soak into the sponge.

[@rebekahighut8347]

yas

[@leorista1]

tikanishewolf or simply just mix it in the catridge

[@Kayveman01]

ahh that works too....it's just that when mixing liquids, esp foundation, mixing in that tiny cartridge can be a bit tricky

[@natyc1028]

I know it's a late comment but can a cushion be saved if I don't use it much and it's starting to dry out?? How do I prevent it I always check that mines is closed tightly but it sorta looks like it's starting to dry out.

[@miranaa_aihaa4637]

that moment when LANEIGE cushion.....cut in half......😲

[@dynayustisia1]

my hearttttt..... lol

[@kickicat628]

Aiha Mirana IKR!! 😅😅

[@allison7415]

Hehe i cant even buy one laneige cushion xD

[@alicevania8666]

im dyin inside....

[@insyiwinsyi]

lol ikr 😂

[@Sechari]

The sunscreen one is GENIUS! I'm going to do that right now, at 1:30 am. Yep! That's my life. Another "hack" is that you can often use refills from one brand with compacts from another (not every refill fits every compact, there are lists that can be googled of what fits what though). This helps to cut down on garbage because you need fewer compacts, and it also saves money. I have an Etude House LE compact that I really love that I refill with other brands all the time.

[@icausley2919]

Why am I watching this? I don't even use cushion foundations xD

[@grace99523]

me too. hahha. but i'll give it a try

[@Renhei]

Hahaha I'm watching but I don't even use any kind of foundation

[@akirarosenthal]

I don't know if this is a hack or me being extremely frugal. But after using the cushion, flipping it ten million times and it's finally reached its end, I would actually take the sponge itself and just use that instead of an air puff. It gives maybe just a few extra kicks to the sponge.

[@chancepassenger3659]

Akira Rosenthal me too!!!!

[@reneewerner1972bd]

Akira Rosenthal you can reuse the empty cushion containers. just take out the cushion add the moisturizer and your favorite foundation and mix and put the cushion pad back in and flip over...

[@akirarosenthal]

Renee Werner Renee Werner It's actually best to clean the sponge before making a new cushion with your favourite foundation. It helps preferably to start afresh, so no bacteria nor colour contamination. Because it's foundation, not only moisturiser but also anything else like SPF, illuminating base or colour corrector can be mixed with foundation.

[@reneewerner1972bd]

yeah that was a given.

[@francespelinta]

Definitely me 😅

[@ichigomiruku8737]

OMGOMG when you cut them and put it into eachother now you have two of the desired cushions!! One for home and one in your bag. Genius idea

[@n444b11]

Ikr

[@liv2340]

*opens your purse* SO MANY CUSHION COMPACTS

[@fifijeyner152]

I love the ideas of sunscreen and moisturizer cushion 😍💕

[@meixdenise]

I definitely do have a couple of cushions that I am not willing to throw out because of the packaging so I'll definitely try some of these hacks especially the sunblock and foundation !

[@meowitsmartha]

Why did I never think of that sunscreen hack!? Thanks so much, Morgan!!

[@mariongonzalez1]

I was internally screaming when she was cutting those LANEIGE cushions...😱

[@AmandaVF1]

Wait a moisturizer ?! That's so smart. I added my tinted sunscreen but def need some extra moisture.

[@chronicallyfabulous88]

ALWAYS keep a close eye on any DIY cushions (foundation, sunscreen, moisturiser, blush, highlighter, whatever), because they're FAR more vulnerable to mould and bacterial contamination than store-bought cushion formulations. The store-bought formulas contain preservatives, designed to combat the bacteria and mould a cushion product is unavoidably exposed to every time you use it. But our DIY formulas don't have those preservatives in them, so personally, I tend to empty out and thoroughly sanitise the case with at least 70% ethanol (which is what we use in the lab to kill bacteria, mould, etc. on surfaces and can be bought from most pharmacies/drugstores) and replace the cushion and puff with brand new ones before adding new products. Washing the cushion for reuse just isn't thorough enough.

[@jupiter6628]

Chronically Fabulous she didn't make anything. she just put the products in cushions and into compacts- she used factory made products that have preservatives.

[@jupiter6628]

Chronically Fabulous also, she clearly used new puffs. every time. so.

[@alex1462]

cait grace I'm super late. But since she mixed products (each with their own preservative) and introduced bacteria by mixing and touching products with unsanitized utensils and fingers, there's a high chance that the types and amounts of preservative in the resulting mix aren't effective together or need extra preservatives; you could be cutting preservation time in half. Jars need more preservatives than squeeze bottles because you are introducing bacteria, mold, and fungi with every scoop. Cushions need more preservatives than pump foundations.

[@syafiqah6680]

i learnt this the hard way lol. The next week i wanted to use it, it was already a mould farm. disgusting.

[@maryannez8416]

@@syafiqah6680 did you only add foundation into a new cushion? cos I was thinking of doing that but your comment scared me 😂

[@blutsabbath6686]

I've never tried a cushion foundation, but I suddenly want to.

[@lowkeylida8524]

this is also great for black/mixed race people! asian companies never come out with shades dark enough for them. getting a dark foundation and making your own like this can be very useful!

[@drizzy6855]

your skin is so flawless!! So jelly!

[@juliavelasco6956]

D4DAINA make up*

[@milkk6287]

Julia Velasco nah her skin is like that she has a complicated scincare regiment

[@AmbreenK]

I loved this soo much. Since i love the concept of cushions but every cushion i buy has been way too light thanks to your ideas i can just empty those out and pop my foundations in my colour and custom my own cushion. You look super pretty in this video too. x

[@pdechl]

the cutting part is so innovative!! I always struggle with finding the right cushion foundation color for my skin cuz the shade range of many Korean cushion foundations is so limited... thanks for the helpful video and you are so pretty!

[@thanaa2551]

I can't get over your beauty and glowing skin, seriously, you're gorgeous!

[@KA21601]

Omg, this is such a great idea! Easy to apply and aesthetically pleasing way to use moisturizers and spf! Maybe, if I don't find a cushion foundation I like, I could put my own foundation in an empty one and make my own cushion foundation!

[@Lucy-to3iz]

she's the first person who don't use 3min of the video to talk about things nobody cares about. I subscribed.

[@sanishagurung301]

your skin is flawless.. 😍😍

[@TriceeXO]

I came across this vid somewhere and honestly, I can't stop looking at you. You're so beautiful ❤️ and I found your video helpful! You just got a new subbie 😊

[@kendallhenderson5020]

i love the editing of this video and the intro! it feels chill and professional but with your lovely cheerfulness & enthusiasm

[@itsdiraw]

Omg this was such a revelation 🙄 the idea of being able to easily carry the perfect personalized foundation is giving me life

[@bg5126]

that moisturizer is literally jelly, SO COOL i'm not sure how well it will work but Korea baited me in..props to them

[@callmeyourdai5y518]

NOT catfishing it's really nice and great for people with oily or big pores as it doesn't block them or make your skin overly greasy

[@sanae45]

Call me Your Dai5y what brand is that? I am really tempted to try it out

[@RaychRamos]

Yay! Cushion addict here. 😁 Love watching your videos, morgan! Its my birthday today. A greeting from you will really make my day! ❤️

[@thebeautybreakdown]

Happy Birthday! :)

[@sylvivv7214]

thebeautymove

[@RaychRamos]

TheBeautyBreakdown Thank you

[@jessentries]

I've never thought of a moisturiser cushion, that'll totally help save the day! Thanks Morgan 💕

[@LullyMaharani]

Morgan, your cushion sunscreen hack is genius! 👍🏼😍

[@jennawihaveproblems500]

I came here quite a while ago, before I could wear makeup but I'm back now with my first ever foundation: a cushion! It's not Korean but I plan to get there. Thanks and once my cushion is empty I hope to try these ❤️❤️

[@lipsticklover]

wow the part about cutting the cushions to adjust the color blew my mind! i was wondering what to do with a cushion that is too dark for me and there is actually a solution! it reminds me of girls cutting up pot eyeshadows to share with their friend but never thought of that for cushions. like the part of the sunscreen and moisturizer as well since i hate getting my hands dirty. love this video and would love to see more!

[@kcitymaryh]

Yes! Yes! Yes! More of these types of videos. So helpful!

[@sy.c_c]

Thanks Morgan! I literally just finished a cushion today and decided to clean but keep my empty cushion holder thinking I could put it to use somehow. I'm definitely going to try to see if my ear buds fit in it - I've been looking for a compact case for those things anyway. Great tips and they came at the perfect time for me!

[@caramelobear1952]

Fantastique! I thought the same ideas but wasn't sure to put my thoughts into action. Now I feel confident except I'm concerned about bacteria, viruses and fungi growing in there cos of the sponge not being clean enough. Thank you!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@ParchCraftAustralia]

Wow..what a great lot of ideas!! Just goes to show how very little product we really get in pre made cushion compacts when you remove the sponge or make your own!

[@fangirlfoodie]

love all these ideas. idk how i didnt think of using the holders to hold other stuff

[@melissayebron3793]

i super love the hacks because i have been wondering what to do with my empty cushion containers. 😊😊😊 thank you!

[@shaharumnurdiniah7601]

Seriously, I really love those hacks! Such an innovative way to reuse ur cushion casing! 😍😍😍

[@sherryschannel]

Great tips! I've never thought of cutting up the cushions and combining the shades.

[@fawncranmer6062]

Thank you! I know a lot of people probably already know some of these tips, but I find them super helpful. I am new to cushion foundations, so these are all great. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@WeenieBiscuits]

Loved these hacks/tips for cushions! Esp. the whole mixing colors or creating your own shade with BB creams and such. I tend to have trouble with Korean products where they never match my skin color tone esp. in the summer when I get darker. Look forward to seeing more videos like this one!

[@KayH6]

another tip is always place ur cushion foundation upside down and gravity will ensure the content will not stay at the bottom.

[@danielasandoval1306]

irishque halim😂😂

[@Bluey1252]

Shania Loos think she means when you're running out of product

[@jacobandcharlie]

This is awesome. I wonder if one can make a blush cushion. I am definitely going to try.

[@hisafu]

waaa its open my mind to not to throw away my old cushion case when i dont used it anymore.. thank u much ^^

[@KammyKlosst7a74y]

I love this! BB cushions are sometimes difficult to use.

[@ayaust]

I loved all the tips and tutorials to make them. Good job!

[@aileen7013]

updated cushion hacks video?!

[@user-pf9gp1ri1o]

i loved the diy about the earrings! very practical and cute

[@janicegoh2648]

OMG!!! I never knew that you can do that!!!! And also they sell spare clean sponges!!!!???? That's amazing!!! Thank you soo much for the tip!!!!!!!!

[@yeseniagarcia7539]

Could you please make a video dedicated to cushion foundations for people with darker skin (as in, not white lol)? :)

[@athena9557]

Yesenia Garcia Cushions are notoriously known for their lack of shade range the ones that I have seen that go darkest are the loreal lumi cushion and the innisfree cushions. Otherwise you might fair better creating one of the DIY ones.

[@sayurivkg]

Just today I flipped my cushion foundation. I am still new at using cushion foundations so this was helpful.

[@ee-linyong6732]

Hi. Greetings from Malaysia. This video is so good. Thank you for the lessons and tips on cushions. I'm going to flip over the cushion sponge to maximise the usage.

[@trishamonica__]

Cushions, cushions, cushions. 💕 Loved these hacks, definitely going to try them out. Thanks Morgan! 😊 Btw, absolutely love your eye makeup in this vid. 👀

[@camelliayou_]

Love the idea of making a cushion sunscreen.

[@robynalice879]

Good lord, the Cushion Halves are absolutely genius! 😁😁

[@MandyN]

Thanks for all these hacks. You encourage me to make my own cushion foundation now. :)

[@heatherva]

I didn't even think about using it for moisturizer thoughout the day. I am about to go on accutane and I am sure my skin will dry out really badly. I would be the one to bedazzle my cushion with rhinestones lol

[@donnaquinn7453]

Finally! A hacks video that is actually useful! ^_^ Thanks Morgan!

[@mayling7965]

all of your videos are awesome Morgan ! thanks for the hacks . love ya 💕 .

[@TheBeautyOwl]

I use a lot of these hacks! thanks for sharing morgan!!

[@parmosi]

MORGAAAAAN I just came back from Korea and binge watching your channel was soooo worth it!! I'm loving all your recommendations that I bought and I just wanna say thank you so much for the big big help!!!

[@esthercraft]

Do a tutorial on this look is gorgeous!!!

[@almatoledo1608]

Now I know how to re-use and re-purpose my future YSL cushion. Loved the video¡!

[@kodomojanai]

I don't get it. How would you apply moisturizer over makeup without it ruining the makeup? Same with the sunscreen... Either way, interesting video. Might try some of the other tips.

[@tinkytina123]

kodomojanai you'd only use enough to put a small layer over your face. and with the sponge, since you're patting instead of rubbing, it doesn't smear the makeup or anything.

[@joycegoh9779]

gonna try the sunscreen and moisturiser cushion!!!

[@Ingrid0410]

Great great ideas! Amazing! Especially about sunscreen! I'm going to try this! Where do you get the air puffs to appy? Didn't see your link to this. The ones you're using at 3.38? thanks so much!

[@lanhoang913]

Omg your skin is flawless

[@ellion2676]

This was great! Especially for the limited edition compacts where you really love the compact but the foundation is lousy!

[@missjane946]

A big WOW to the portable sunscreen 😱😱

[@sashavonkirsch4948]

That was a nice video))) I like to flip my cushion sponge every week and I give it couple spray of mineral water or aloe vera spray just to refresh )))

[@Darkemy]

this was perfect!! I have a lovely hellokitty cushion and i was very sad because its almost dry!! thank you

[@sOetty]

WOw, so creative hacks, I wanna try them ❗️ thank u sweety❤️

[@babblebubble5467]

I love these kind of videos! Thank you Morgan 😄👍

[@froufroudeluxe]

The sunscreen cushion looks like such a good idea! I wonder if it gives enough protection from the sun though, because cushions give such a sheer coverage

[@АнастасияЕгорова-у1х]

This is sooooo simple and at the same time absolutely genius. Thank you!

[@stellazhu3065]

WOW, ALL THOSE HACKS ARE REALLY WORK THO~I really like your videos😍😍😘

[@annienguyen8369]

Ur skin is honestly so amazing

[@AWORTHYLOVE]

Thank you so much for making this. I just discovered cushion foundation and these ideas are so awesome for what do after the product is empty

[@tiffanyfelkner8995]

Thanks for this. I was wondering what you were going to do with the cute Disney cushions that you didn't like. Now I know. Great ideas.

[@Secretcrushonglam]

Great ideas, thank you! Especially the DIY cushion ones, why didn't I think of that ?

[@pati_smt]

Loved all this hacks!! Amazing video!!😘❤

[@SarahSunflower25]

Question- what are the best sunscreens out there for the face? Do you have a video on this?

[@ChesaDy]

Loveeeeed this!!!! I just started using cushions and this helped a lot!

[@michaelak6753]

are there any advantages to using a cushion foundation over a regular foundation aside from the better portability?

[@tanincat]

Mikey it's really buildable and can look rly natural, and you don't need any tools besides what it comes with.

[@MummyBrown]

They are perfect for those of us that want lighter coverage.

[@noanook]

cushion foundations can look so cute!

[@ssushoo]

Ohhh such a nifty hack video!!! Such good cushion hacks~ totally gonna get some spare sponges to make my own personalized foundation cushion =D but I love the idea of a sunscreen cushion~

[@tinytiff29]

Morgan! I love your videos! curious to know more about your recommendations for sunscreen. I'd love to hear about cheaper sunscreens found in drugstores and about high end sunscreens and which ones you like most. Thanks!

[@RegularGal86]

thank you so much!!! this has been soo usefull!!! good luck!

[@sinsinc]

Hey Morgan! I really enjoyed this video and I was wondering if you could share how we should sort out our empties? It could be for both make-up and skincare and I am not sure what to do with the empty container as some just seem too good to be sent for the recycling center, yet I can't seem to think of any uses for them. Do you have any upcycling or repurpose tips? :)

[@ohmykennethx]

I have no need for your vlogs, but I watch them anyway 'cause I find you very entertaining... and pretty too. :)

[@3gmom408]

Your cushion hacks are amazing!!!!

[@cele20ce]

this was super helpful! keep up the amazing work, beautiful as always 😊😊

[@katrinawong8501]

thanks morgan!! these hacks was so useful to me!!!!

[@nicotina1600]

Hi!Huge fan of Korean beauty.I'm curious of the Physician's Formula cushion,have you tried it or if not are you interested in testing it out in the future?

[@ainaasyiqin9369]

Hi do you have any suggestions on water based toner or any other product that i could use(water based) other than than what u alrdy mention in the video . Thankyou !!✨

[@ohhellothere25]

Ooh love those flower earrings! Where did you get them??

[@yulsbrumbeck4081]

girl thats was an awesome vídeo !!! I just subbed 😉

[@emilysuuu]

interesting! i bought a sunblock cushion from etude house and one from the face shop... but nice to see i can repurpose that way... refills are so expensive!!

[@DeadStuffGuy]

Can you do a video on what to look for in a non-cushion foundation that you want to put in a cushion case and make into a cushion foundation?
