When applied before makeup, it ensures your look stays flawless all day. While it's said to be fine for evening use too, I only use it in the morning. It has a pinkish, sunscreen-like texture that's different from regular skincare, so it might not let your skin 'rest' at night. It seems to function more like a primer, enhancing elasticity and giving a glow rather than just moisturizing. I love the fantastical branding - it feels like something Barbie or Hollywood actresses would use!
ConsThe texture isn't smooth, feeling a bit stiff when applying, which isn't great (though surprisingly, it adheres well once on). It would have been even better if it felt softer during application.

When applied, it gives your skin a radiant glow and makes it incredibly receptive to makeup. What's even better is that it doesn't just provide shine - it also takes care of hydration and skin elasticity! As someone who already spends a lot of time on makeup, I'm particularly critical of products that don't deliver results. But this one... it's really good. I mean, it's genuinely impressive. There's no other way to describe it than to say it makes your makeup adhere beautifully. If you've ever been stressed about your base makeup looking patchy, you'll notice the difference immediately with this product. On days when my skin isn't at its best, makeup usually just sits on top, looking cakey. But with this product, it's like the makeup becomes one with my skin! It's as if my face has the same condition as after using a sheet mask and sleeping pack. What's more, I used to get annoyed when my gel-type sunscreen (which I started using because I dislike oiliness) would sometimes pill due to dryness. But when I layer this cream on top, there's absolutely no pilling, and my makeup finishes flawlessly. It doesn't have a tone-up effect and isn't excessively oily - it's just like a rich moisturizer. I was surprised at how effective it is. Even a small amount can transform your skin's condition. The application is incredibly smooth. Despite its thick texture, it doesn't feel heavy like some moisturizers. It spreads thinly and evenly - even if you apply it haphazardly, it still goes on well. Its absorption is top-notch, no doubt about it. Now, when I mention a glow, oily-skinned folks might be wary, but I have extremely oily skin myself. I used to only do matte makeup, but I switched to slightly glossier products when I realized matte makeup was emphasizing my skin texture. However, I still dislike excessive shine that makes my whole face look greasy! With this product, there's an overall radiance that looks good even when some oil comes through. It doesn't give that greasy, oily appearance, which is why I keep using it. Plus, my foundation doesn't mix with excess oil and get patchy! You know how after wearing makeup for a while, your face can feel like a battlefield - oily on the surface but dry underneath? This product seems to prevent that to some extent. Even in the evening, my skin doesn't feel dry or like it's rebelling. The oil that does come through is minimal. It's not so much about preventing makeup breakdown as it is about preventing a messy-looking face. While I've accepted that makeup breakdown is somewhat inevitable, I couldn't stand how messy my face would look. This product solved that issue, and I'm thrilled about it. Even touch-ups are easier - the makeup doesn't cake up. You might think this product is only for dry skin types because it provides hydration, but as someone with oily skin, I actually want to recommend it to other oily-skinned individuals! Especially if you have dehydrated skin underneath and find that your makeup becomes oily within an hour or two, making powder and touch-ups a necessity - I think you'll be very satisfied with this product!
ConsIt doesn't come with a built-in spatula. Usually, these tend to disappear over time and end up being discarded anyway, but not having one from the start does make me a bit concerned about hygiene. For now, I'm using a separate spatula to apply it. The ingredients aren't particularly impressive. I'm okay with using it since it's not a product I apply before bed, and makeup products generally have worse ingredients anyway. The price is probably the biggest drawback. It's not like it completely transforms your face or anything. However, if you're someone who's been considering this product, you're likely stressed about your base makeup, and it does deliver value... It's one of those 'I understand why people buy it despite the price' situations.
TipPersonally, I apply this right before makeup, after washing my face, applying skincare, and drying my hair. I've found that if I apply sunscreen right before makeup, it tends to cover up the dewy effect of my skincare routine. So applying this product after sunscreen helps create a calm base for makeup application. I usually hesitate to say 'It's worth trying despite the price,' but if you're constantly frustrated with your foundation getting patchy, needing frequent touch-ups, or your skin getting excessively oily too quickly, and you've been on the fence about this product... I'd recommend it. It does live up to its value.
