Even I noticed that right after application, it creates a subtle shimmer on the face, not an excessive shine. The pearl effect isn't chunky or overwhelming, so it doesn't look artificial at all. It's more like my natural skin has a slight luminous sheen! The texture is also perfect - not too thick, making it easy to layer other cosmetics on top. The consistency is just right, smooth, and absorbs well. I'd recommend this to anyone looking to add a subtle glow to their makeup without going overboard.
ConsDespite being called a primer, it doesn't seem to cover pores or uneven texture very well. It's more of a luminous highlighter than a true primer. Also, it's a bit heavier than expected. Make sure to moisturize well before applying this as part of your makeup routine.
TipRather than using it alone under foundation, I find it works better when mixed with foundation in a 1:1 ratio to enhance the glow. For added dimension, try applying a little extra on areas like the bridge of your nose to sculpt the face.

People say it's a cheaper alternative to MAC Strobe Cream, but I haven't tried that so I can't compare. There is a noticeable price difference though. I initially bought it to use as a primer, but since that function wasn't strong, I've been mixing it with my Double Wear foundation.
ConsIt has almost no pore-covering ability. I end up using it more as a base than a primer. It would be nice if it had even a little bit of sun protection.
TipI've been mixing it with my foundation for use during the winter months.

The pearlescent finish makes your foundation look beautiful when applied on top.
ConsDue to its thin consistency, it doesn't seem to cover pores very well.
TipIt's wonderfully hydrating and perfect for use during the winter months!

It applies smoothly, which is nice.
ConsIt doesn't cover large pores at all! As for smaller ones, I'm not really sure... it's hard to tell.
TipJust be aware that on days when your skin texture is uneven, it might look a bit messy.

I noticed that after applying this primer, my pictures actually look brighter and better. ⭐Love that the container is transparent, so I can see how much product I've used. ⭐There's a reason why this product is so popular! I have no regrets using the Lumi Layer Primer.
ConsFor some reason, I don't reach for it often... Maybe it's because I'm lazy after applying sunscreen and cushion foundation... I haven't used it much. I'm not sure if it really covers pores...
TipApply the primer after your skincare routine and wait a bit before applying makeup! This helps prevent the primer from pilling.

I received this as a gratis item with my VDL cushion purchase and I'm enjoying it. It's like a budget-friendly strobe cream? It seems more convenient to use as a makeup base.
ConsThe cosmetic fragrance is a bit strong... (I'm not a fan of strong scents). It feels more like a subtle shimmer base than a primer? It slightly evens out the skin tone but doesn't completely cover pores.
TipYou should use small amounts, pumping out just a little at a time. The pump dispenser is good for dispensing small quantities. Instead of applying it to your palm, pump a small amount onto the back of your hand and gently sweep it across your cheeks.

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.ProsI've used about 3-4 bottles of this so far. I usually dislike strong fragrances in cosmetics, but this one is almost unscented. A couple of small pumps are enough to cover my forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin, so it lasts quite a while. There's a noticeable difference in makeup longevity when I use this versus when I don't! I prefer a dewy finish over a matte one, and my oil-based foundations and cushions tend to fade quickly. This product really helps improve the staying power, making it a must-have in my pre-makeup routine.
ConsDon't expect too much in terms of pore coverage. This product is better for slightly refining skin texture, creating a soft-focus glow, and improving makeup longevity. It contains some shimmer that subtly brightens the complexion, but it doesn't create an obvious shine (which is actually a plus).
TipFor areas with larger pores, it's good to use this alongside a thicker product. I apply a different product first on areas where pores are more noticeable, like around the nose, then lightly layer this product over the entire face and key areas. Make sure to wait a bit before applying your makeup! Primer products tend to lose their effectiveness if you apply makeup immediately on top, as it can cause pilling and reduce longevity.

On days I wear it, friends ask if my nose looks higher, wondering if it's always been that way! (And my nose was already high to begin with... haha) While I don't use it often due to laziness, it's undeniable that when I do apply it, my skin looks more vibrant and I appear prettier overall. I'm extremely satisfied with how the shimmer isn't overwhelming, giving a natural look instead.
ConsThis isn't a product designed for pores or uneven texture. It doesn't have pore-minimizing primer effects, so you'll need to apply a separate product for that.
TipFor a truly beautiful look, try this after finishing your makeup: squeeze out a tiny amount (just a speck) and gently pat it under your aegyo-sal (charming eye fat) and on your nose!

It gives a lovely pink glow and makes my skin sparkle.
ConsIt's a bit rich for a primer. It doesn't cover pores or anything like that, and I was quite surprised by how pink it is.
