After using it, I'm impressed by its smooth texture and matte finish. It fills in pores well, allowing for a clean makeup application. There's a noticeable difference in makeup longevity between days with and without primer (of course, it lasts longer with primer!). As this is my first primer, I can't compare it to others, but I use it every time I apply makeup. It's great value for money. If you find primer prices daunting, I gently recommend giving this product a try!
ConsThe main drawback is that it can pill if you apply too much. Due to the nature of primers, overapplication can lead to pilling and cause your foundation to look patchy, so it's crucial to use only a small amount.
TipTo overcome this issue, I've started using a spatula instead of my fingers. Using a spatula allows for a thin, even application of the primer on the skin, resulting in a smoother complexion. As a bonus, it helps fill in pores even more effectively.

In the hot summer, when I apply it as a BB cream, it sticks to the sides of my nose and when I wear a mask, the makeup on my nose area gets wiped off and gets stuck in my pores. This was a product I had tried before. I didn't expect any dramatic effects, just that it would control the pores around my nose. But it not only controlled them very well, it also increased the makeup adhesion, so I was very satisfied and used it well throughout the summer~ If you apply a half-bean-sized amount to your nose and the sides of your nose before applying BB cream, and then walk for 15-20 minutes in the hot summer while wearing a mask, it will control the BB cream quite well. Just pat your face with a tissue to absorb the sweat and oil, and you're done. Now, due to the cold weather and skin troubles, I'm using less color cosmetics. It's a shame that it's been discontinued.
ConsThere's really nothing bad. This is just a bit more satisfying than I expected.
TipIt's still being sold on the Nunknown homepage.

But the cushion foundation I recently bought doesn't seem to apply well at all. Then I remembered I had received a primer sample, so I tried applying that before my makeup and it worked really well. Normally, even when I apply my skincare products thickly, my makeup can still look a bit uneven. But with the primer, the difficult-to-apply cushion foundation actually adhered well to my skin. What surprised me was that my boyfriend and male coworker both commented that my skin looked a bit different, which was kind of interesting. I couldn't really tell the difference myself though. After trying the sample, I ended up purchasing the product and have been using it. I haven't experienced any breakouts! The effects of this product have been great, and a little goes a long way. The price is also reasonable.
ConsSince I have quite fair skin, this product does make my skin tone look a bit lighter... Not exactly a tone-down, but more of a slight yellowing effect. This is just a personal skin tone difference, so I can't really complain about it. Also, while it's fine in the summer, I think in the winter when my skin is a bit drier, the product may feel a bit drying.
TipI'd recommend applying this especially to areas with large pores or blemishes, as it can help make the skin texture look more even overall when you don't apply it everywhere.

So I tested and bought a primer, and to my surprise, I found a really nice one that's also affordable. Since my pores aren't too prominent, I focused on the wear and adherence of the makeup. When I first applied a small amount to my face, I was like, "Whoa, this is surprisingly silky!" My previous primer was more hydrating and had a slightly tacky finish, while the famous pore-filling primer I tried before had an unrealistically silky texture. This one doesn't have an extreme feel, but it definitely leaves a different finish compared to my bare skin - my skin feels so smooth and velvety. Thanks to this primer, my makeup applies really well. I have some slight unevenness around my nose due to blackheads, and I always have to gently pat and soothe that area when applying. I'm not sure if it's just a placebo effect, but the makeup seems to adhere much better in that problem area after using this primer. I'm quite satisfied with the results.
ConsHonestly, I don't really feel like the longevity is that great. Especially since I'm the type who flushes easily when drinking alcohol or when my face gets heated up, and my makeup tends to just melt off in those situations. So I shouldn't have expected this primer to make my makeup last forever. I didn't have any dramatic expectations for this product - I just wanted something to help prep my skin before foundation application. It does the job well enough for everyday wear, but there's no miraculous change. I think of it as a way to nourish my skin (psychologically) before putting on my foundation. It can be a bit drying, which is an inevitable issue for us dry-skinned folks. Even with the semi-matte/matte craze, it's still a struggle for us dry types. This primer might be a good balance of mattifying and not overly drying for those with more normal/combination skin. *Update (October 27): Actually, I take back what I said about the longevity not being great. It actually does a really good job of controlling oil, especially around my nose and cheeks. There are times when I forget to apply the primer, and I can definitely tell a difference - my t-zone gets shiny and greasy much faster without it. So this primer is really effective at keeping my skin looking more matte and controlling excess oil throughout the day. I think I may have underestimated its performance before.

The tube is thin, so it can be applied thinly and conveniently. After applying makeup, it feels fluffy.
ConsIt seems to slide a bit. It's not particularly long-lasting.
