naturaglace Makeup Cream [01 Champagne Beige]

My friend's girlfriend is Japanese, so I met up with her and had fun. Under the light, her skin looked so smooth and flawless, so I asked her what she was using and followed suit. She said her skin is sensitive, so she uses this Lavender Pink product, and that's the only color sold in Korea, so I bought it. When I apply it without any dead skin, my skin feels really moisturized, but on days when I only do a quick wash in the morning, it gets really dry and flaky. I need to properly exfoliate to remove the dead skin... It has a pearly finish, so it makes my skin look glowy and naturally brightens my complexion. But the pearl effect also makes my pores look a bit messy. It has a lot of oil in it, so it doesn't dry out. One time I fell asleep with it on after drinking, and I didn't get a single blemish.

I'm a bit iffy about it being a Japanese product, and the color selection is limited. I wanted to try the Lavender Pink, but direct purchase isn't possible, so I had to go through a proxy, and I ended up giving up on it. It feels like it's not enough to complete my makeup routine on its own, and it's even less effective than a regular tone-up cream. The pearly finish makes it look shiny, but my skin still looks bare. The tone correction is not as good as a color-correcting tone-up sunscreen. Sometimes when I use this, my skin looks amazing, but on other days, it looks really dull. I wonder if there's something wrong with my skin.

Since it's an all-in-one product, I used it alone, but I need to at least apply a basic moisturizer as well.
