Clean and minimal is in – so why shouldn’t your makeup application be the same?  To achieve this, many are turning to mesh cushion compacts to create a natural, clearer-looking complexion.  The travel-sized product provides moisture, prevents contamination or dry out, and is easily controlled so your hands aren’t left messy and your skin, flawless. Introducing two new cushion compact launches from Maybelline (January 2017) and Dr.Jart+ (February 2017).
