Pros
Applying it before makeup helps improve the longevity of your makeup. It has a smooth, creamy application.
Cons
It doesn't seem to properly perform the primer function. Rather than minimizing pores, it just feels like a regular base.

Pros
A little goes a long way, as it applies smoothly and has a subtle pearlescent effect that I really like.
Cons
I'm not sure about the longevity, but it seems to work well for wearing with a mask these days.

Pros
Moisturizing & Dewy Finish ●●●●● -The application feels really nice. There's a slight cooling sensation but it's not stuffy. A small amount spreads well! Eye Irritation & Stimulation ○○○○○ -No irritation at all...no stinging, eye watering, or breakout irritation. Instead, the cooling sensation seemed to soothe the redness, and the pink-toned base helped balance out my uneven skin tone. Application ●●●●● -As mentioned, it's incredibly dewy, making it hard to believe this is a primer. The application is so smooth and hydrating. Makeup Slippage & Accentuating Flakes? ○○○○○ -After my full skincare routine of toner, serum, lotion, and cream, and then applying sunscreen and the NARS base primer, I put on foundation. It didn't slip at all - the absorption is great and it doesn't sit on top. The lightweight formula also doesn't emphasize any flakiness. Finish & Feel ●●●●● -My skin was in perfect condition for foundation application. It just feels so fresh and plump. Price & Value ●●●●○ -A little goes a long way, so for the amount, price, and performance, I'd definitely repurchase once I run out. Fragrance -The fragrance is nice~ I'd recommend this product to those who are sensitive to strong scents.
Cons
When I used this and then applied the double wear foundation, it lasted from 7pm the previous day to 5pm the next day... Of course, I also used the Urban Decay setting spray, but I always use that.

Pros
#Product Introduction NARS Radiant Primer SPF 35/PA+++ 30ml, 50,000 won #Ingredients No allergens, 5 out of 20 caution ingredients Panthenol - Conditioning Sodium Hyaluronate, Butylene Glycol - Moisturizing #Texture Unlike common primers, it doesn't feel heavy or like there's an oil film. It applies smoothly with a lightweight, low-oil lotion feel. #Pores, Skin Texture It does a great job of filling in pores and refining skin texture. #Color At first, the salmon color with shimmers looked quite startling, but once applied to the face, it transforms into a light color with subtle, non-glittery shimmers that brightens the complexion. #Hydration Many primers create an occlusive film, which can feel suffocating, but this one is hydrating yet low in oil, which I really liked. #After Use It covers pores and smoothens the skin, making it look flawless. The subtle salmon base and micro-shimmers add a healthy, radiant glow without looking oily, even with additional makeup on top. It also helps extend makeup wear. I only used it on my nose area and didn't experience any breakouts, but some sensitive users reported getting small bumps. •Pros Makes makeup look radiant and smooth, while extending wear. Low in oil yet hydrating, so makeup doesn't look greasy. •Cons The ingredients could be better. The shimmers can transfer a bit, which is slightly inconvenient.
Cons
The ingredients are really frustrating and annoying. I'm not sure about much else.

Pros
To be honest, even though I've tried many primers, there are often times when I only apply them diligently at first, and they end up just sitting on my face. But this one definitely makes a noticeable difference before and after application, so I always make sure to use it. It pairs best with the Nars foundation, but it also works well when mixed with drier foundations. It even helps improve the overall longevity of the foundation. It has a nice, luminous finish that looks fresh and clean, and the application is smooth and even. So I find myself reaching for it quite often. It also helps hydrate dry skin, so it's great all-around.
Cons
This product has absolutely no value for the money. The price is just so frustrating.

Pros
The texture is so moisturizing and smooth, it glides on like a hydrating lotion. Even though I have problematic skin, this product didn't cause any issues at all.
Cons
The price is quite high, but the amount is really too little. Compared to other pore primers I've tried, this one might be a bit disappointing as it feels quite lightweight.

Pros
The application is smooth and creamy. Even when applied hastily with just your hands, it spreads evenly without causing the makeup to slide or shift. It was convenient that I didn't need to use a puff in the busy morning routine.
Cons
I'm not sure if this product properly fulfills the role of a primer. It's not even cheap, yet while it doesn't provide a full tone-up effect, it should at least help even out the basic skin tone, but it just feels like I'm applying a regular primer. The color is a lovely pink-coral blend, but once applied, it has a shiny finish without the noticeable tone-up effect or pore-smoothing sensation, so I don't think I'll be repurchasing it. I bought it based on the great blog reviews, but I should have checked the Hwahae Trial Reviewer comments first. ㅜㅜ
Tip
ㅡ.ㅡ I just checked the ingredient list and I need to throw this away. It contains carcinogenic ingredients that get activated by sunlight... If that's the case, why did they even include sun protection in it? Aish.

Pros
It's moisturizing and has good spreadability. When applied before foundation, the pearls come up naturally, giving a glow to the face!
Cons
It's sometimes disappointing when the oil layer separates. And the price is quite evil...

Pros
The product is moisturizing and has a nice glide. The subtle shimmer is also pretty. To be honest, when I first applied it, I felt like it was a moisturizer.
Cons
If you don't like a shiny look on your face, this product is not for you. I didn't feel it helped minimize my pores either. And I ㅠㅠㅠ developed some breakouts after using it, so I had to stop using it for now. I'm working hard to recover, but I'd like to try it again later. It would be a shame to completely give up on it... Sob, sob.

Pros
The product applies smoothly and moistly, and the pink base makes the face look radiant and bright.
Cons
It doesn't balance the oil and moisture at all, and it doesn't fill in large pores. I'm normally an oily-skinned person, so I use a drying sunscreen to balance the oil and moisture, but that makes my skin look a bit dry. When I went to the store to test it, the employee strongly recommended it to me, saying that I don't seem to be oily-skinned and that this product is very moisturizing and balances the oil and moisture well. I believed them and bought it to try, but there's no moisture balancing at all. By lunchtime, my face is already shiny and greasy, and by the afternoon, my makeup is all gone. I've been fooled again.
