Product details

A closed and an open grey Nu Zero Cushion compact, the open one showing its beige cushion, on a pale grey stone table between a grey pebble with foundation swipes and a sprig of hinoki cypress

Semi-matte cushion

A light, semi-matte cushion that lays down a thin, even layer and stays put without looking cakey.

rom&nd’s Nu Zero Cushion uses fine powder particles and what the brand calls an air light system for a flawless, semi-matte finish that still feels light. It presses on thin, wears long without caking, and rom&nd says even touch-ups blend in cleanly. The brand pitches it at normal and oily skin, with SPF24 PA++.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Light, airy base

    Water and light, fast-evaporating silicones keep the formula thin and weightless as it sets.

    No. 1, 2, 4 of 34 on the list

  • Sun protection

    A mineral and a chemical filter behind rom&nd’s SPF24 PA++ rating.

    No. 3, 13 of 34 on the list

  • Fine, blurring powders

    Soft powders and a film-former for the semi-matte finish and long, cake-free wear.

    No. 10, 14, 20 of 34 on the list

  • Skin-care extras

    Niacinamide sits high on the list, with adenosine, hyaluronic acid and hinoki cypress water further down.

    No. 9, 29, 32, 34 of 34 on the list

How to use

Press, then tap

  1. 1

    Press

    Press the puff lightly into the cushion.

  2. 2

    Tap

    Tap it over the face for a thin, even layer; rom&nd says there’s no need to fuss over the amount.

  3. 3

    Build

    Tap a little more where you want extra coverage, or to touch up later in the day.

Light, even, lasting

A thin semi-matte layer that looks like skin, not makeup, and holds up through the day.
