What does cushioning mean in skincare?

Skin cushioning is where skincare products like serums and moisturisers are used to give skin a plump, bouncy appearance similar to a soft, perfectly fluffed cushion. When skin is cushioned, it feels silky, smooth, voluminous, and perfectly primed for makeup.

As we age and when skin is tired and dehydrated, our complexion can begin to look deflated and is prone to developing dehydration lines and wrinkles. We need to cushion skin with hydrating skincare to make it appear lifted, luminous, and to give it its bounce back! Darlings, you need the cushioning effect because your skin will look instantly healthy and plump and your makeup will apply so smoothly.

Tilbury Tip: Magic Cream is Magic Skin, darlings! To get the cushioning effect, prep your skin with Charlotte’s Magic Cream to create a cushioning layer for makeup.

I worked with the best labs in the world to develop this skin tech, darlings… You’ve never seen WOW results like it!

The formula is like a soft cushion for your skin to nestle into… The rich, cushion-cream formula helps to smooth and plump the appearance of skin, retexturising the look of your canvas and giving it a bouncy glow. It also gives your complexion a flattering lift effect, helping facial contours to appear lifted and refined.

It’s the combination of cushion and lift that makes Charlotte’s Magic Cream so sensational. And darlings, it works instantly! In just 28 seconds, skin appears 2x more hydrated!* It’s immediate skin revival before your eyes!

What Makes Cushion + Lift Mesh Technology™ Magic?

Cushioning emollients: The antioxidant-rich emollients in Charlotte’s Magic Cream like rosehip oil, camellia oil and vitamins C and E help to create a cushioning effect that leaves skin looking firmer and plumper. They cocoon skin with hydration, giving your complexion a healthy-looking bouncy glow that looks beautiful under makeup.

Lift-effect Alpha-Glucans: My Cushion + Lift Mesh Technology™ contains a high-molecular weight network of Alpha-Glucans which are derived from oats. They adhere to the surface of your skin to create a cohesive mesh that smooths over the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to help skin texture appear super-smooth and cushiony while priming skin for a perfect foundation application.
