You’ll notice plenty more product at the bottom of the sponge – something that’s easy to miss if we’ve only been using one side of it.

After slotting the flipped cushion back in place, pick up a cotton swab and clean off any excess residue on the compact case.

Voilà! You now have a cushion foundation that is as good as new.
Aside from flipping the sponge over, some TikTok users have commented that storing the entire compact case upside down can also prevent excessive amounts of product from sinking to the bottom.
But since most of us love to carry our compacts around for touchups, this simple hack is a great way to spread the formula more evenly after all the time it spends in your purse.
