Compact powder cases and air cushion cases may look similar, but they have key differences in structure and function. Here’s how you can distinguish them:
Purpose & Content
- Compact Powder Case: Designed for pressed powder products such as foundation, blush, or setting powder. It holds a solid powder pan.
- Air Cushion Case: Used for liquid or cream foundation, which is absorbed in a sponge cushion inside the case.
Inner Structure
Compact Powder Case:
*Features a metal or plastic pan where the pressed powder is fixed.
*Usually includes a powder puff or brush storage area.
*Typically has a hinged lid with a mirror inside.
Air Cushion Case:
*Has an inner compartment that holds the sponge cushion soaked with liquid foundation.
*Includes a sealing lid inside to prevent liquid from drying out.
*Often comes with an air puff applicator instead of a brush or sponge.
Sealing & Closure
- Compact Powder Case: Does not require an airtight seal since the product is solid.
- Air Cushion Case: Needs an airtight inner lid to prevent the liquid foundation from drying.
Appearance & Design
- Compact Powder Case: Usually thinner and comes in various shapes, often with a sleek, simple design.
- Air Cushion Case: Often thicker/bulkier due to the extra inner compartment for the cushion.
