If you apply it before makeup, your makeup will be 100% successful that day. They say it's okay to apply it in the evening, but there's a pinkish particle like a sunscreen, so I feel like my skin won't be able to rest, so I only apply it in the morning. It seems to do more of a primer-like function of giving radiance and elasticity rather than just simple moisturizing. The fantastic branding that feels like something Barbie girls or Hollywood actresses would use is really nice.
ConsIt's not very smooth and has a slightly sticky feel, so the initial impression isn't great (but it surprisingly adheres well once applied). It would have been even better if the application felt smoother.

The oil keeps coming up, but the dryness is still there. This product seems to help manage that to some degree. Even by evening, my skin doesn't look excessively dry or like it's about to revolt. The oil that does come up is also more subtle. Rather than just preventing the makeup from breaking down, it seems to prevent the face from getting too messy. I used to really struggle with how dirty my face would get, but this product has solved that problem, and I'm very satisfied. Even with just a casual touch-up, the makeup doesn't cake up. I thought this product would be more geared towards dry skin types since it's said to provide hydration, but as an oily-skinned person, I actually want to recommend it to other oily-skinned folks! Especially for those who struggle with the sudden oil breakthrough an hour or two after makeup, making powder-free makeup impossible and touch-ups essential - I think you'll really appreciate the performance of this product.
ConsI see, so it doesn't have an integrated spatula, which can be a bit inconvenient since they tend to disappear over time when using the product. Having to scoop it out with a separate spatula does raise some hygiene concerns, even though you're still able to use it that way. You're right, the ingredient profile isn't the best, but since it's not a nighttime product, it's understandable to be a bit more lenient about that. Makeup products in general often have questionable ingredients, so this is probably not the worst offender. The price is definitely the biggest hurdle here. It's not like this product is completely transforming your skin, so the cost can seem steep. However, if someone was specifically looking for this product, they were likely dealing with a lot of stress around their base makeup, and in that context, the price tag might be justifiable. I can see how someone in that situation would feel it's worth the investment, despite the concerns you mentioned.
TipI see, so you apply your skincare routine well in advance before doing your makeup, and then just use this product right before applying your makeup. That makes sense, as applying sunscreen right before makeup can sometimes cancel out the glow and hydration from the skincare. Using this product after the sunscreen helps create a more balanced, refined base for your makeup application. I wouldn't readily recommend spending this much on a product to just anyone, but if you've been really struggling with issues like foundation patchiness, frequent touch-ups, and rapid oil breakthrough, then I do think this product is worth the investment. The benefits it provides in terms of improving the overall makeup application and longevity seem to justify the price tag, especially if you've been dealing with a lot of frustration around your base makeup. For those specific concerns, I would confidently recommend giving this a try.
