  Pros

  1. The base has a pearl-like feel, allowing for a natural semi-tone up. 2. The design is pretty and chic, like Barbie's. 3. Just a light application leaves a glossy, radiant glow on the face. 4. The herbal scent is pleasant.

  Cons

  1. Being a pot-type, it may be inconvenient for those who prefer tube-type products. 2. The area around the opening gets dirty over time, requiring frequent wiping. 3. The price range is not inexpensive.

  Pros

  Since I have dry skin, liquid or dewy types or the peach-colored Mebest tend to feel too dry and a bit heavy for me. They have a sticky feeling 😢 This Bobbi base, however, is moisturizing and has a subtle, luminous pearl finish (not overpowering!) that makes my skin look healthy and glowy! It's perfect for achieving a natural Bobbi Brown-esque makeup look! :)

  Cons

  First of all, the SPF is lower compared to other products, so I always have to apply sunscreen on top. For dry skin like mine, using a cream or layering products can feel burdensome, though it may not be an issue for everyone depending on your skin type! Also, the packaging is a jar, so it's really inconvenient to use up the product. The container gets messy... I wish they had changed the packaging, but even after cleaning it, it still looks nice, so it's a love-hate relationship, haha.

  Tip

  Whenever I just want to do a light makeup look, like for running errands or giving my skin a break, I'll apply this base to get a dewy, healthy-looking finish. I'll just use a concealer to lightly cover the reddish areas around my eyes and nose, and it's not perfect, but it makes my skin look comfortable and smooth. (But... only when my skin is in good condition 😂)

  Pros

  It's great to apply it naturally when you want a glowing complexion. I've used it as a base and mixed it with foundation as well. The texture is also moisturizing and helps minimize flaky skin.

  Cons

  The oiliness was a bit of a burden for me, as I have oily skin on my forehead.

  Pros

  When applied, it gives a subtle glow and natural-looking tone correction. It seems suitable as a skin prep before makeup.

  Cons

  I have sensitive skin, so as soon as I applied it, it became irritated and red spots appeared, so I stopped using it. The packaging type was also a bit disappointing.

  Pros

  It provides a natural glow and pearlescent finish to the face The subtle pearls are quite pretty

  Cons

  It's inconvenient to use because it has to be applied with a spatula They call it a base, but I don't know what function it has besides providing a pearlescent finish When I apply it, my face looks shiny, but since it's a base, it seems to become a bit matte. I'm not sure if the skin tone correcting power is that great either There's not much value for the price

  Pros

  The coverage is lacking, but it finishes with a natural glow. It's good for daily use when used with a concealer.

  Cons

  I sometimes mix it with BB cream to cover, but then it can get a bit cakey...

  Tip

  Use a concealer to cover dark circles and blemishes~~

  Pros

  The natural dewy skin expression was great. It was not dry at all, despite having pearls in it.

  Cons

  As a primer substitute, it does not cover pores or acne scars.

  Tip

  If you apply it all over the face, it will look puffy. If you apply it only to the areas you want to look brighter, it will create a more dimensional look.

  Pros

  I always get compliments on my skin when I use it. The most important thing is to apply the BB cream or mix it with other products. Mixing it makes your skin tone look more natural and bright. It's a must-have product when you're putting on makeup and taking care of your skin!

  Cons

  If you look closely, the pearl finish is quite strong, so it may not be to everyone's taste. Applying too much can make your face look overly white. The amount is a bit too much...but it lasts a long time.

  Tip

  To make your face look smaller, only apply it to the inner parts of your face. If you apply it on your nose bridge, the pearl will catch the light and make your nose look higher.

  The subtle pearlescent finish makes it look natural. I'm applying it by mixing it with foundation. It helps increase the adherence.

  Cons

  Apart from the price being a bit disappointing, there are no other significant downsides.
