It's very moisturizing, so it's great to apply before makeup. And it helps makeup stay on well.
Cons
For oily skin types, it might clog pores and cause breakouts. That's the downside.

It was so-so, but the makeup still seems to come off the same.
Cons
It feels like it's clogging my pores? I feel like I'm getting acne, but I'm not sure if it's definitely because of this product.
Tip
Just use a drop!

I purchased makeup after a demonstration at the Mac store. As someone with dry, sensitive skin that is prone to breakouts and blemishes, I apply the cream as the final step in my skincare routine, and it has been great. It doesn't cause any breakouts and leaves my skin feeling plump and smooth. I recommend this to those with dry skin!
Cons
While there are many natural oils, it is concerning that there are 4 allergy-inducing ingredients for those with sensitive skin... However, the price is not exactly cheap either. I suppose it is the brand name premium.
Tip
I mix 2 drops of the cream into my nighttime moisturizer before bed, and my skin doesn't feel dry the next day. Before makeup, I mix 1 drop into my tone-up cream, and it doesn't leave my skin looking cakey.

The small size and compact volume make it convenient to carry around in a pouch and apply anytime. This is especially useful for touch-ups, such as wiping off uneven makeup or replenishing moisture when the skin feels dry. After wiping with a correction pad and applying lotion, I find that a drop or two of this oil on the cheeks helps the skin stay moisturized for a long time. There is no greasy or heavy feel, just a smooth absorption, so it seems suitable for both dry and oily skin types.
Cons
The price is a bit high considering the volume. However, I don't always finish using up oils, as they tend to oxidize quickly. So I think it's better to replace them more frequently. Even though I only use a couple of drops per day, it still lasts a while and doesn't seem to be running out quickly.
Tip
As someone with dry skin, I still need good coverage from my foundation, so I use a long-wearing formula. Without this oil, the foundation doesn't apply as smoothly. I like to apply this oil as the last step in my skincare routine, then follow with sunscreen and my foundation. This helps my skin look naturally dewy and hydrated, even with the long-wear foundation. I'll likely repurchase this oil once I finish the current bottle, as I find myself using it daily and it seems to last a decent amount of time despite the small size. I generally prioritize quality over quantity, so I'm willing to pay a bit more for a product that works well for my skin, even if the volume is not as large.

I really like using this before applying my base makeup! It feels like it's blocking the release of moisture and there's no sticky feeling that's typical of oils.
Cons
The price is too high compared to the amount. Other than that, it's my holy grail product!
Tip
When my skin is very dry, I like to mix a drop or two of this with my foundation for better application.

Even though I tend to be sensitive and prone to small breakouts, this oil did not cause any issues, and the scent is not unpleasant, so it seems to be a suitable oil for me to use.
Cons
The price compared to the volume and the absorption being a bit slow are the only downsides.
Tip
I mix in about two drops of it with my night lotion and apply it, or I absorb about one drop of it all over my face before applying my makeup.

My skin is relatively clear, so I don't usually wear heavy makeup. However, I was worried about my face getting flushed easily. At the MAC store, they checked my skin condition and recommended focusing more on the skincare line rather than the makeup base. The products they suggested seem to be a perfect match for me! I've been cleansing in the morning and evening, and then using a few drops of the moisturizer. The moisturizer really seems to stay on my face, so my makeup doesn't get patchy and lasts longer. I'll definitely repurchase once I run out.
Cons
Since the product contains chamomile oil, it may not be suitable for certain skin types. Please check and see if it works for you before purchasing.
Tip
Using one drop in the morning and two drops in the evening can help you get the most enjoyment out of the moisturizer.
