Drawing inspiration from the skincare philosophy of Korean aesthetic clinics, Seoul-born beauty brand ELBAONO brings skincare ingredients into everyday complexion makeup. Its new ELBAONO 3-in-1 Cloud Cushion combines cushion foundation, cream blush and a dewy highlighter in one compact, making it easier to create a fresh, polished look at home or on the go.
A Skincare Approach to Everyday Makeup
For ELBAONO, a well-formulated foundation does more than even out skin tone. How smoothly it applies, how comfortably it wears and how natural it looks up close are equally important.
The brand develops its makeup textures with skincare ingredients in mind, paying attention to both the finished look and the feel of the formula on the skin. Its approach to the Korean dewy makeup look favors an even complexion with a soft, natural luminosity—coverage that enhances the skin without obscuring its character.
Two Expressions of a Luminous Complexion
ELBAONO Pink Blossom Longwear Cushion and ELBAONO Silver Collagen Cushion offer distinct interpretations of this approach.
Pink Blossom Longwear Cushion pairs finely milled powders with a lightweight film-forming system for a close-fitting finish and a soft glow. Its formula includes bifida ferment filtrate and collagen-related ingredients, with an emphasis on comfort during everyday wear. The result is a smooth-looking complexion without a heavy, powdery appearance.
Silver Collagen Cushion emphasizes a supple feel and a dewy finish. The formula combines collagen-related ingredients, bifida ferment filtrate and Centella asiatica extract with squalane and emollient oils. Its smooth texture blends evenly with gentle patting, leaving the complexion looking fresh and luminous.
Building on these two foundations, ELBAONO 3-in-1 Cloud Cushion brings complexion makeup, cheek color and highlighting together in a single portable compact.
Three Makeup Steps in One Compact
The new 3-in-1 Cloud Cushion brings three complementary formulas into one easy-to-carry format.
Pat on an even base, blend in a natural flush and tap on a touch of glow. Each step adds to the last, creating a coordinated look without the need to carry several separate products.
The skincare-infused cushion foundation provides the base. Taking inspiration from the extracellular matrix, or ECM, the formula combines peptides, collagen-related ingredients and hyaluronic acid–based ingredients. Hydrolyzed DNA, sodium DNA, niacinamide and botanical extracts complete the skincare ingredient blend.
The cream blush adds warmth and color. Its soft texture blends easily with gentle patting, sitting naturally over the foundation without an obvious edge. Applied to the apples of the cheeks, it creates a fresh, rosy flush; blended outward along the cheekbones, it helps accentuate the face’s natural contours. Placement allows the wearer to adapt the look to their features and preferred makeup style.
The dewy highlighter provides the finishing touch. Its creamy texture and light-reflecting ingredients create a fresh sheen on the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose and other high points of the face. Rather than emphasizing visible glitter, it lends the skin a soft, dewy luminosity that complements the foundation and blush.
The appeal of the three-in-one format goes beyond convenience. By bringing these formulas together, ELBAONO makes it easier to build a balanced complexion, with coverage, cheek color and light working in harmony.
From its established cushion foundations to the new 3-in-1 Cloud Cushion, ELBAONO continues to explore the connection between skincare and makeup, translating its Korean aesthetic clinic inspiration into products designed for everyday use.
