Even though I usually struggle with dead skin cells no matter what I apply, this base makes my foundation go on incredibly smoothly. It also gives my skin a hydrated, healthy-looking effect.
ConsThe shimmer particles are a bit large, so you need to blend it well when applying. It can pill a bit if you apply sunscreen, so make sure to let it absorb fully before use. Other than that, I don't have any other complaints.

It's great how it instantly hydrates, and it absorbs quickly, making it perfect for busy mornings.
ConsIt tends to cause pilling with sunscreen or moisturizer applied underneath. Even after allowing sufficient absorption time, the formula still tends to create some pilling. Also, I wouldn't recommend this for those with oily skin. My mom has oily skin, and when she used it, I noticed that her skin became quite greasy as time went on.

Recently, I've been frustrated, thinking I might have to give up on sunscreen because my foundation would pill no matter which sunscreen I used. However, after applying this gold base, my foundation adheres well even over sunscreen, making my makeup routine enjoyable again. The changes I've noticed after using this base are: 1. Improved foundation adhesion. 2. No more foundation buildup or clumping around the nose. 3. Foundation breakdown looks less unsightly. (Previously, it would settle into pores, making texture more visible) 4. Less tightness even in dry spring winds. (Before, it was painfully tight, with visible fine lines around the cheekbones when smiling, like a pie crust) And more... Although it adds an extra step to my routine, I'm happy to embrace it since it reduces the need for touch-ups. I hope many people use it so it doesn't get discontinued!
Cons1. Be generous when applying the base. At first, I didn't know better and used just one pump before sunscreen and foundation, which made my foundation pill even more. I thought I'd wasted my money. But when I used 2-3 pumps for ample coverage before sunscreen and foundation, I finally understood what 'smooth as an egg' means. 2. The gold flakes... I'm not sure if they're added for a luxurious look or serve a purpose, but as a lazy beauty enthusiast, I sometimes end up walking around with gold flakes on my cheekbones because I can't be bothered to blend them in. 3. I'm unsure how well it would pair with a dewy foundation. I prefer a matte finish, so when I use this base, I lightly dust powder along the edges of my face where hair touches. The base gives such a dewy feel that you might need to test whether it creates synergy with a dewy foundation or if it becomes too much of a good thing.
TipIf you apply just a light layer of hydrating emulsion during your skincare routine before using this base, you won't experience any deep dryness from your foundation, and it will break down beautifully without darkening.
