It absorbs smoothly onto the skin.
ConsIt doesn't seem to function properly as a primer. Rather than concealing pores, it feels more like a regular base product.

ConsI'm not sure about its staying power, but it seems great for bare skin under a mask these days.

There's a slight cooling effect and it applies smoothly without feeling heavy. A little goes a long way! Eye Irritation & Sensitivity ○○○○○ - No irritation at all... No stinging, no eye discomfort, no blemish triggers. The cooling effect actually seems to calm redness, and the pink-toned base helps even out my blotchy complexion. Application ●●●●● - As mentioned, it's so moisturizing that it's hard to believe it's a primer. The texture is incredibly hydrating. Makeup Pilling & Emphasizing Dead Skin Cells? ○○○○○ - After completing my full skincare routine (toner, serum, emulsion, cream), applying sunscreen, and then this NARS base primer, my foundation goes on without any pilling. It absorbs well and doesn't sit on top of the skin. The lightweight formula doesn't emphasize dead skin cells either. It's a real game-changer! Finish & Feel ●●●●● - It creates the perfect canvas for foundation. The finish is fresh and firm. Value for Money ●●●●○ - A little product goes a long way, so considering the volume, price, and performance, I'd definitely repurchase when I run out. Scent - The fragrance is pleasant. I'd recommend this product to those who are sensitive to strong cosmetic scents.
ConsWhen I applied this primer and then Double Wear foundation, it stayed put from 7 PM until 5 PM the next day. Of course, I also used Urban Decay setting spray, but I always do that anyway.

It's a smooth-applying emulsion with low oil content. #Pores and Texture It does an excellent job of filling in pores and really smooths out skin texture. #Color I was shocked when I first squeezed it out - it was a salmon color with shimmering pearls. But when applied to the face, it turns into a light color, and the pearls don't sparkle excessively, instead giving the complexion a lively look. #Hydration Some primers I've used felt like they were coating the skin with an oil film, which felt stuffy, but this product is moisturizing with very little oiliness, which I liked. #After Use It covers pores and texture, making the skin look smooth. The fine pearls and salmon base subtly brighten dull skin, making makeup look really pretty. It doesn't slide around like oil, so makeup applied on top doesn't separate or look greasy. It also improves makeup longevity. I only used it on my nose and didn't experience any blemishes, but some people with sensitive skin reported getting small bumps. •Pros Makes makeup look radiant and smooth while improving its staying power. Low oil content and hydrating, so makeup doesn't look greasy. •Cons The ingredients list is a bit disappointing. The pearls can transfer to hands, which is slightly inconvenient. #Recommendation Recommended for those who want to improve skin texture and dislike heavy primers. Not recommended for sensitive skin types due to the ingredients.
ConsThe ingredients are really frustratingly disappointing. That's about all I can say for sure.

But this one? The difference before and after application is so noticeable that I always make sure to use it. It pairs exceptionally well with NARS foundation, but it's also great when mixed with drier foundations. It really changes how your foundation wears, making everything look more polished. The primer has a subtle pearl effect, absorbs well with a moisturizing feel, and finishes with a fresh sensation. Its excellent absorption makes me reach for it often. It also improves the longevity of foundation. After application, it gives a subtle glow that makes your skin look healthy. For those with dry skin, it acts as a hydrating base. All in all, it's a really great product in many ways.
ConsA truly wicked product with absolutely no value for money. The price tag is seriously irritating.

It glides on smoothly like a hydrating emulsion. Despite my blemish-prone skin, this caused no issues whatsoever.
ConsFirst off, it's quite pricey for the small amount you get. If you're expecting something like other pore-minimizing primers, you might be a bit let down. It feels almost too lightweight.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe product absorbs smoothly. Even when applied roughly with hands, it spreads evenly without causing any pilling or makeup displacement. It's convenient for busy mornings since you don't need to use a puff.
ConsI'm not sure if it's just me, but I can't tell if this product is effectively working as a primer. It's not cheap, and while I'm not expecting a full brightening effect, I feel it should at least provide some basic complexion evening. It just feels like I'm applying a primer because I have to. The color is a pretty mix of pink and coral, but once it touches the skin, there's a glow but no noticeable brightening effect or pore-smoothing finish. I probably won't repurchase. I bought it because of great blog reviews, but I wish I had checked the Hwahae Testers' opinions first.
TipI just looked at the ingredient list and I think I'll have to throw this away. A carcinogen when exposed to sunlight? Why even include UV protection if this is the case? What a waste.

When I apply it before foundation, the pearls naturally rise, giving my face a gorgeous glow!
ConsIt's disappointing that the oil layer sometimes separates. And the price... it's a bit wicked, isn't it?

The subtle shimmer is pretty too. To be honest, when I first applied it, it felt like a hydrating moisturizer.
ConsFirst off, if you're not a fan of a glowy look on your face, steer clear of this one. I couldn't feel any effect on minimizing pores either. Unfortunately, I developed blemishes after using it, so I've stopped for now. I'm working hard on recovering my skin, but I might give it another try later. It feels too wasteful to just let it sit unused... sigh.

The pink base gives the face a radiant appearance.
ConsCompletely fails to balance oil and moisture. Doesn't cover large pores effectively. I have very oily skin, so I usually use a dry sunscreen to balance my oil and moisture levels, which can make my skin look a bit dehydrated. When I went to test this product in-store, the staff member insisted I didn't have oily skin and strongly recommended it. They said I desperately needed hydration and that this product was full of moisture and would balance my oil and moisture levels perfectly. Trusting their advice, I bought and tried it. But there's no oil-moisture balancing effect at all. By lunchtime, my skin is already shiny, and by afternoon, my makeup has completely worn off. Looks like I've been fooled again...
