After application, it doesn't feel sticky but rather refreshing and lightweight. The hydration is impressive - at first, it felt moisturizing and luminous, as if suitable for a makeup base. But after absorption, the finish has a dewy, supple feel, without leaving the skin feeling dry. Even without using a puff or brush, it applies well and adheres nicely when applied with just the hands.
ConsThis product isn't quite a must-have for me, so I'm a little disappointed. It's the kind of thing that's nice to have if you have it, but not essential.
TipIt seems to be a product that creates a base that doesn't break down all day long. As long as it properly absorbs the rising oil, there's no need for touch-ups.

It seems like a product that would be even better to use during seasonal changes or in winter.
ConsIf you have oily skin and use it in summer, you might not fully enjoy the benefits of this base prep product.

It doesn't feel drying when applied (though it's not extremely moisturizing either), but it provides just the right amount of hydration while smoothing out your complexion nicely.
ConsDue to its thin consistency, it might be challenging to completely cover pores.
TipFor areas where pores are a concern, try using a separate pore primer first, then apply this product all over your face. It works wonders that way!

Previously, I mainly used matte primers, but lately I've been enjoying the Jung Saem Mool Water Cream Light + Hera Airy Primer combo for its non-drying formula, longevity, and ability to minimize pores. However, being a bit of a skincare junkie, I don't have many holy grail items, so I applied to be a Hwahae Tester to try something new. To cut to the chase - the glow is insane. Recently, I've been feeling quite dehydrated and realizing the importance of hydrating bases. When I first applied this, it didn't feel super moisturizing, more like a refreshing serum. It plays well with foundation, but can pill a bit, so be careful with the amount. The longevity wasn't mind-blowing, but as time passed, the combination of my oily skin and the base glow... wow... it's like those Instagram MUAs' skin! If you love that post-collagen mask glow, you'll adore this. As a matte lover though, it was a bit much for me. Even blotting with a hand towel didn't diminish the glow, so the base itself must be incredibly luminous.
ConsAs someone with extremely oily skin that gets greasy within 30 minutes of applying makeup, the glow was unbearable. The base seemed to make my skin produce oil faster and in larger quantities than usual. When I use hydrating bases with matte primers, it usually balances out, but with this... if that's how it performs with a matte primer, I can't imagine how oily it would be on its own!
TipOn days when I applied it too quickly and roughly, it tended to pill. Using a spatula to spread it and then patting it in with my hands gave the best results, achieving the desired hydrating base consistency and effectively filling in pores. This product definitely performs its core functions better when applied in a thin layer. Applying with a brush and patting with a puff could work well too. It had better compatibility with regular cushion puffs or air puffs rather than damp makeup sponges.

It applies like a hydrating serum, leaving your skin feeling moisturized. Once it absorbs, it's like your skin becomes one with the product. It definitely improves adherence and because it's so hydrating, my skin feels less dry even hours later.
ConsIt can be a bit of a hassle to apply this after sunscreen, but now I can't imagine my routine without it.
TipWhen using a cushion foundation, it's easier to apply the base if you spread this product before it's fully absorbed. For liquid foundation, let it absorb completely and then use a bit more foundation than usual. I have dry skin, so I use two pumps.

Provides coverage. I appreciate how well it absorbs. 1. Being a hydrating line, I felt it helped control my dryness even more, which I loved. *The design is so cute that I packed it in my travel pouch. 2. Rather than focusing on coverage or filling in pores, it gave a natural, clear expression of my skin texture.
ConsOh, there really weren't any negatives. This is my first time trying their makeup line, and I'm definitely considering purchasing more.

I've always struggled with constant dryness and white dead skin cells appearing no matter what I apply. This product works best when applied after thoroughly completing your skincare routine, followed by a thin layer of sunscreen on top. The gentle ingredients have left me even more satisfied, as I haven't experienced any blemishes or signs of irritation so far. It's crucial to build a solid skincare foundation before applying this base prep. Once it's well absorbed, your makeup goes on smoothly. If it's not fully absorbed, you might experience pilling or clumping, which can make your skin look messy. While I didn't quite get the Inner Glow or dewy effect I was hoping for, it did create a clean skin appearance that required less powder. Even with my dry skin, I used to apply a bit of powder, but with this S Nature Makeup Base Prep, it sets so neatly that I think it'll work well even in summer, not just fall and winter.
ConsThe hydrated glow I was hoping for seems a bit lacking for dry skin. While it feels moisturizing when applied, the feeling of dryness seems to return quickly.

With winter drying out my skin, I've been favoring base makeup that gives a hydrated glow. This product perfectly helps create a subtle, dewy base with a hint of moisture. I was already a fan of the brand's serum and moisturizer, so I used this without hesitation. As expected from a brand that excels in skincare, there was no deep dryness after application, and my makeup seemed to last much longer. I love that the case is semi-transparent, making it easy to see how much product is left. The pump dispenser is more hygienic than a tube. I was a bit concerned about taking it on trips, but the cap fits securely and didn't come off during travel! Those with sensitive noses will absolutely love this - it's fragrance-free, so there's no bothersome scent at all! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for hydrating makeup with great staying power.
ConsI can't think of any downsides! It would be nice if it came in a larger size.

With the cold weather lately, my skin was feeling tight and dry, so I was thrilled to try this product! It's meant to be applied after skincare and before makeup, so I was worried it might cause pilling or make my makeup look cakey. However, it absorbs well and leaves a non-sticky finish, making it highly compatible with other cosmetics.
ConsAs it's a base prep product, I was hoping it would improve the longevity of my makeup, but it didn't quite meet my expectations in that regard.

Smooth and refreshing application When I first dispensed it, the texture felt light yet slightly creamy. It absorbs into the skin like a nourishing toner, adhering smoothly and absorbing quickly. I could move on to the next makeup step without any pilling. 2. Adds hydration to the skin After applying, my skin felt like it was wrapped in a plump layer. Even in dry weather, my skin stayed comfortable without feeling tight. This reduced instances of makeup looking patchy due to dehydration. 3. Subtle enhancement of skin's glow As it layers thinly on the skin, it adds a subtle, not overdone, luminosity. This gives the skin a glossy appearance, and I loved how this glow persisted even after applying foundation or cushion products. 4. Long-lasting makeup base I especially recommend this for those who struggle with makeup longevity or easy makeup breakdown. Using this product, my makeup didn't become patchy and maintained a clean, glossy state for a relatively long time. 5. Gentle ingredients that don't stress the skin As someone with sensitive skin, I always check ingredients on Hwahae before purchasing. This product caused almost no skin irritation after use. I appreciated that I could use it comfortably without blemishes or itching, and it didn't feel heavy on the skin.
ConsBefore using this product, I recommend thoroughly applying toner, ampoule, cream, and sunscreen, then applying only a small amount of this product (I use about a pea-sized amount) in a thin layer. I think it's difficult for this product alone to address dryness and flaking. It's best to think of it as adding a plump barrier after fully hydrating your skin.
