I found it worked best to apply a suitable amount using a spatula!

· The price felt a bit high for the amount of product you get.

· There's a specific way to open the lid, and you need to follow it! If you just try to twist it open, not only does the lid come off, but the entire pump mechanism falls out too.

Honest review from someone with extremely oily skin:

· It keeps my skin hydrated and makes it look beautiful without emphasizing pores. Even with my super oily skin, I could achieve that coveted Inner Glow makeup look!

· The fine shimmer particles in the product seem to create a beautiful glow. The finely milled pearls create a subtle radiance that makes your skin texture look gorgeous.

· It feels like a hydrating moisturizer, so there's no deep dryness, and it's excellent for improving makeup longevity!

· It's better for longevity than pore coverage, so don't buy it expecting major pore concealing effects.

· This would work well for combination to extremely oily skin types!

There's no dramatically impressive effect. The performance relative to its price isn't great.

First off, it gives a hydrated glow. Just two pumps are enough to evenly create a dewy look across your entire face. I loved that it wasn't heavy or sticky, and didn't feel suffocating on the skin. While it's not an extremely intense glass skin effect, it provides a nice, subtle hydrated glow that makes your skin look healthy.

The amount seems small... If you wear makeup daily, you might feel like it's not enough. Also, the glass container makes it a bit heavy.

It's not too thick but rather fluid, so you can easily apply a small amount all over your face! The formula isn't drying, so those with combination dehydrated skin or oily skin should make sure to use powder thoroughly! I'm currently using this product along with a makeup fixer, and while some primers can crack or clump when they're dry and meet the fixer, this product has a nice balance of hydration and richness that doesn't dry out quickly even after applying the fixer!

For those of you wondering about the correct order of primer, base prep, and sunscreen after skincare but before makeup, I've got you covered! Here's a quick guide:

- Chemical sunscreen (without tone-up effect) > Base prep > Primer > Foundation
- Base prep > Physical sunscreen (with tone-up effect) > Primer > Foundation

However, since many base preps and primers already include sufficient SPF, I personally recommend skipping the separate sunscreen and going straight for prep > primer > foundation. It's simpler and just as effective!

The price is a bit steep... Dear Dahlia products have beautiful designs and great quality, but they feel a bit pricey to me. It always makes me think twice before purchasing.

I loved this translucent gel-type essence! It's not runny like water, making it easy to apply. When you massage it in, you can really feel the burst of hydration. Unlike other brands that can leave a sticky finish even when moisturizing, this one has a fresh, clean feel. But let's be real - the most important thing for a base prep is how well it works with makeup and how long it lasts, right? I have extremely dry skin that tends to crack and flake if I'm not careful with my base. So, I put this to the ultimate test: I applied it after my skincare routine and then rubbed on foundation with my hands (yes, hands!). I was thrilled to see that it absorbed perfectly without any dead skin cells showing up, creating a smooth canvas for my makeup!

I've mentioned the downsides above. Mainly, there's a possibility of blemishes due to the natural oils. For me, grapefruit peel and olive oils didn't work well. Double-check the ingredients before purchasing. The product itself is good, though.

For shades 13-15 with light undertones:

This product works well for those who are more affected by high brightness and low saturation rather than warm/cool tones. It's great for those with a lot of redness who prefer a pink base. However, it tends to reject pink and orange blushers.

Overall review:

1. While many use Yeonjak Base Prep as a pre-makeup primer with its runny, pale yellow water-gel texture, Dear Dahlia Skin Prep has a pearlescent, opaque white formula. One pump forms a rounded shape on the back of your hand, feeling like a thin, slightly sticky hydrating cream.

2. Yeonjak Base Prep absorbs quickly, feeling almost unnoticeable - perfect for all skin types, especially combination dehydrated or oily skin. Dear Dahlia Skin Prep also absorbs fast but leaves a more noticeable moisturizing effect. It's not heavy, but you can definitely feel it on your skin - ideal for those with dry skin.

3. Both should be applied after sunscreen.

4. A major advantage of this Skin Prep is its pearlescent formula, which enhances the glow of subsequent base makeup. In practice, it doesn't create an oily sheen, but rather a radiant, high-end makeup look.

5. Neither this nor Yeonjak work as pore primers. Choose these products to improve base makeup adherence, extend wear time, and prevent makeup from drying out or separating.

6. One downside is the high concentration of natural oils like lavender, sweet almond, argan kernel, olive, and grapefruit peel oils. If you're sensitive to any of these, you might experience blemishes.

7. Personally, I think grapefruit peel and olive oils didn't agree with my skin. Throughout the month of use, I developed pimples around my brow area and butterfly zone, which became inflamed.

8. Despite loving the longevity, the radiance from the pearls, and the luxurious feel, I couldn't continue using it due to skin reactions. I'm envious of those who can use it without issues!
