Laneige took over the market with a storm after Descendants of the Sun became a big hit in 2016. Since then, I've started using Laneige's BB Cushion for 2 years until the Laneige Layering Cover Cushion & Concealing Base came to the market.

When Laneige's Layering Cover Cushion was introduced in the market, I was quite reluctant to buy it because it costs around S$33 while the BB Cushion only costs S$46 which comes with a refill. But probably because of a sale, I finally decided to get my hands on Laneige's Layering Cover Cushion. And I never turned back since then.

Comparing the two cushions, I chose the Layering Cover Cushion for a few reasons. Although the BB Cushion has won numerous awards (which proves that it is a really good product), I do think that it is slightly less suitable for dry skin. On the other hand, the Layering Cover Cushion does not form cracks on dry skin after applying. Instead, it gives a much more dewy and plump look to the face.

In terms of coverage, the BB Cushion lasted me for around 4-5 hours while the Layering Cover Cushion could last me around 6-7 hours. Throughout the day, it does wear off a little but I like how it gives a much more longer-lasting coverage.

On the other hand, since the BB Cushion does not come with concealer, you'll need to get a separate concealer if you want to conceal your pimples. As for the Layering Cover Cushion, since it comes with concealer, it is easier to handle uneven skin tone. But do note that, dark pimple scars can't be covered completely (as shown in the picture).

To sum up, the Layering Cover Cushion is much more suitable for dry skin, gives a longer-lasting coverage, and is able to even out skin tones. Those were the main reason why I chose the Layering Cover Cushion instead. 

That said, the BB Cushion might be a good choice for you if you have normal-hydrated skin and do not need to worry about blemishes! 

Nonetheless, both cushions did a pretty good job in pore coverage and are lightweight on the skin too. It does not give off the cakey look after application. With SPF coverage, there's no need to apply additional sunscreen. This is one of the main reason why I go for face cushions!
