Pros
The product is great for areas with large pores, such as the nose, cheeks, or parts of the face that are prone to makeup caking. It doesn't cause the makeup to lift and works really well. You only need to use a small amount, so it's not a waste of money. When you first apply it by squeezing it onto your fingertips, there is an oily feeling, but it dries down to a matte, seamless finish.
Cons
You'll need to do a thorough cleansing, maybe even a double cleanse.
Tip
Make sure to apply it in a thin, even layer.

Pros
It's amazing how little of this you need to use. You apply a generous amount to the forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. When you spread it thinly, the texture looks smooth and the adhesion is good. It's closer to a base than a primer. It has the function of covering fine lines to some extent, so it's useful for a natural makeup look.
Cons
The price is expensive, though. Others say they can use a small amount and it's fine. But I seem to use too much of it. ㅠ
Tip
Apply sunscreen and primer thinly and widely, and you'll have a natural makeup look completed.

Pros
It helps conceal oily-looking skin and allows foundation to easily adhere to the surface in the summer.
Cons
However, it can make the skin feel a bit dry, so it's better to apply lotion first and then apply it on top.
Tip
Or apply it over sunscreen! Only apply it to the necessary areas!

Pros
I often hear that my skin texture is good, but my pores on my nose are a bit prominent, so when I applied foundation, the nose area looked a bit uneven. I tried using a primer that was recommended to me, and it applies lightly and the foundation adheres really well. Great great
Cons
The price is burdensome compared to the amount (52,000 won for the primer). When applied with the dedicated puff (19,000 won) instead of by hand, it adheres better.

Pros
This is the first product I always apply after skincare. That way, sunscreen or BB/foundation spreads evenly! The adhesion and application are amazing.
Cons
The price is indeed outrageous...That's why taking advantage of duty-free shops is a good idea. Haha

Pros
It seems to work well when applied before makeup, as it helps control oil and the cushion adheres well. Even though I have sensitive skin that is prone to breakouts, I didn't experience any issues after using it.
Cons
The price seems a bit burdensome to purchase it again. Other than that, it's fine.

Pros
I dare say that I can surpass the Benefit Professional!ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The moment I apply it, it's like Photoshop! It's not my nose, right? Where did my pores go? Why is it so smooth? To be honest, when I tried the Professional, the dramatic change wasn't that great. If you fail to control the amount of these primer-like products, the peeling is no joke. Since I only applied a tiny bit, I thought the effect wasn't visible to the naked eye. But the one from Memebox is just like a blur filter when it touches your skin ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The before and after difference is so evident that I was really amazed. And if you apply foundation on top of it, oh my god! Is this really my skin...! This is why everyone uses primers!! The adherence was great, and most importantly, it didn't feel dry at all ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Cons
When you apply too much, peeling is inevitable... Why is it that the more I try to apply the primer properly, the more scales appear? And the price... ㄷㄷㄷ
Tip
It seems like pressing it on with a sponge is the way to go ㅇㅂㅇ.. The lady at the department store applied it that way.

Pros
This was the first product I purchased, and when the store employee tested it on me, I really liked it so I bought it. The feeling of applying it is silky and lightweight. Most importantly, it immediately leaves a soft, smooth finish after application. It quickly fills in my pores, and the difference in makeup longevity and skin expression is noticeable, especially in how well it enhances my skin. I wore it for over 10 hours once and didn't experience any oiliness or makeup wearing off, so the lasting power is amazing. I would definitely call this my holy grail product and will absolutely repurchase it.
Cons
The only downside is that it is a bit pricey, but other than that, I don't have any other complaints.
Tip
Be sure to always apply a primer before using this product. The difference between using a primer and not using one is significant, especially in terms of longevity and for those with visible pores. After applying it with a primer, your skin will look as smooth and poreless as a baby's.

Pros
This foundation is not heavy or sticky, but rather very soft and blends out beautifully. It has a skin-like formula like Benefit, but it's not heavy and doesn't slide off. It's lighter than professional foundations, and the finish sets quickly. I actually tested this out in the store before purchasing, and when I got home and looked closely, my skin looked like I was seeing it for the first time. The skin texture looked so great that I fell in love with it and decided to buy it this time. When applied on the skin, it finishes up quickly, leaving a smooth and soft result. It also covers fine lines and pores well. The finish is so great that if you're considering a primer, I'd recommend trying this out first! Definitely a great product.
Cons
The price is 52,000 won for 30ml. Primers are usually applied in small amounts and targeted areas, so a single purchase can last a long time. However, the price point does give me some hesitation about just buying it outright.
Tip
As mentioned in the store, this product can be used not only before makeup, but also for touch-ups during the day. You can lightly blot any oily areas with blotting paper, then dab this primer on top. It helps refine the skin texture and leaves a smooth, soft finish. You can then lightly set it with powder. It can be applied with your fingers, a brush, or a sponge. I've tried this a few times and really liked the results. The only thing is you need to make sure to thoroughly cleanse your skin in the evening.
