ESPOIR Be Velvet Cushion Foundation is a Korean cushion compact offering buildable, medium coverage with a velvety smooth, natural finish. Formulated as a lightweight, vegan cushion with zero oxidation technology to maintain color stability throughout the day. Shade #26 Honey targets warm, deeper skin tones. The 0.46 oz compact delivers quick, easy application via the included puff. Currently discounted 30% to $20.30 (vs. typical $29), making it competitively priced per gram.
