If you love luxury beauty products, Dior Capture Totale Dreamskin Perfect Skin Cushion, $82, is the Cadillac of BB cushions. It also has some of the most powerful anti-aging ingredients of any cushion foundation. With SPF 50 sunscreen plus exotic ingredients like longoza fruit and opilia to brighten skin tone and smooth lines, Dior's cushion foundation could make your anti-aging serum obsolete. Although this high-end BB cushion has a high-end price, refill cushions cost about half as much.

BB cushions are great foundations for people who hate foundation. If you want to feel like you're wearing nothing at all, consider Philosophy Take a Deep Breath Cushion Foundation, $40. It's formulated to give breathable, buildable coverage and dries to a satin/matte finish, adding the barest hint of hydration. With SPF 20, it'll give you a smidge of sun protection as well.

If we had a dollar for every time a beauty product promised us "glowing skin," we'd probably take the money and just get a damn facial. But Dr. Jart+ Air Mesh, $48, won over our jaded hearts with its serum-like feel and, yes, glowing finish. The compact includes a face puff, which is great for building coverage. But we think this BB looks best applied with fingers to sheer, dewy perfection -- plus, poking the bouncy, air-filled cushion is just too fun. Marine extracts moisturize, reduce redness and detoxify skin over the long term.

Most cushion foundations come in a very edited range of shades. That's why we're so into Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Cushion Foundation, $47, which comes in 18 beautiful shades, so you're practically guaranteed to find a color match. Like Dr. Jart's product, it has a mesh cushion that offers quick delivery of the full-coverage, matte-finish cream. Lancome's BB is surprisingly light on skin-care benefits, but the oil-free, SPF 50 formula may be just what the doctor ordered for those with acne-prone skin.

Sulwhasoo Perfecting Cushion Intense, $80, is intense on benefits as well as on pigmentation. Red pine extract fights fine lines and skin laxity, and antioxidant plum blossom fights free radicals in the environment. The formula comes in seven shades, and boasts broad-spectrum SPF 50+. While the price tag may seem like a shock, this cushion foundation is a surprisingly great value. A little goes a really, really long way, and each compact comes with a refill -- so convenient, especially since most cushion compacts don't hold a lot of product.
