It brightens the skin tone by one level before applying foundation. As it is a mousse type, it does not get easily transferred onto the hands, which is also good.
ConsThis is really drying. Haha. If you have combination to oily skin, you need to have a solid skincare routine. However, if you use it with a long-wear foundation in the summer... It will not budge at all, even if you party all night long.
TipApplying it with a sponge makes it go on thinly and helps refine the pores well. Try using it with a long-wear foundation in the summer. It absolutely will not break down.

I've tried other brand primers, sunscreens, and bases, but nothing compares to this one for me!! First of all, it has UV protection, so I don't need to apply sunscreen separately. Just as the name suggests, it covers pores and leaves my skin smooth and velvety. I highly recommend this base to oily-skinned people. I've used up more than 5 bottles, switching between different shades!
ConsThe fact that it's a Japanese product! Honestly, I avoided using anything for 3 years because of the radiation concerns. I couldn't find a base (sunscreen, primer) that I liked, and since I knew the Armani primer I was using was made in Japan, I just decided to use this one.
TipBefore this, I used to apply the Shu Uemura Stage Performer, and it worked great for me.

Even if I don't go out far, my bare face can feel burdensome, so just applying this lightly is good enough. They said it has primer functionality, and since I don't have major pore concerns, I was satisfied with its pore-covering effect as well. I use it with the Shiseido Synchro Skin Glow Luminizing Fluid Foundation, and my makeup definitely lasts longer. And the smooth, soft finish is great. This is a really reliable base product.
ConsWhile the product is nicely satin-like, it may not be ideal for dry skin types in the winter. Dry-skinned individuals should test it out before purchasing.
TipThis pairs well with the Shiseido Synchro Skin Glow Luminizing Fluid Foundation.

Using this and then applying foundation, my skin looks like a celebrity's - it has a bit of a glow and looks absolutely amazing. Truly, when I use this and then put on foundation, my skin looks so good, really really good. I've heard a lot about it and thought this must be a holy grail product.
ConsSurprisingly, when I applied this, my face felt a bit stingy. I thought it might be temporary, but every time I used it, it would sting. Later, it even started to feel itchy. The good thing is my skin didn't really get messed up, but due to the tightness and stinging, I stopped using it after 2 bottles. It was almost my holy grail, but... Looking at it now, the ingredients don't seem that great either.

I usually try to use it all the time, but there are times when I don't have enough time in the morning before going to school to apply this and also do my makeup, so I end up not using it sometimes. But I've noticed a significant difference when I do use it - my skin looks more radiant, my pores are better concealed even without a primer, and my skin tone is more even. There is a dedicated sponge for this product, and although it is quite expensive for a sponge, it is really worth the price. Be sure to use the Shu Uemura sponge, as other sponges will pale in comparison when used with this product.
ConsAs mentioned in other reviews, the downside of this mousse-type product is that the finish can be matte (and sometimes dry) depending on the condition. However, I think this depends on how well you've applied the base. When I've applied it on a well-hydrated skin, it blends beautifully and doesn't feel dry at all. And while it can be tricky to control the amount as it dispenses quite a lot with just a light press, you'll get used to it with continued use.
TipAlways be sure to shake the product well before use and only press down lightly. If you press too hard, too much product will come out, which can be difficult to manage. And the most important thing is to have a good base - I don't use a toner, just the Kiehl's moisturizer before applying this.

It is non-greasy and does not leave a shiny or oily finish, making it a great choice. It also helps brighten the complexion quickly, which is a plus.
ConsAs I have a dry skin type, during the dry winter months, I found that a few hours after applying this product, the cheek area would start to look white and flaky. The lack of oil in the formula may not be the best fit for dry skin types.
TipApplying a small amount of an oil-based moisturizer beforehand and not using too much of this product can help prevent the white, flaky appearance on dry skin.

It also seems to melt right into my skin.
ConsThere is a slight sense of irritation, and over time, there is a bit of tightness. If I don't really moisturize my skin beforehand, it can start to feel dry and flaky quite quickly. The mousse-like formula also runs out pretty fast.

It's fluffy and helps even out my skin tone nicely!!!
ConsThe price is evil... The Pentagon sponge is also evil in price... ㅠㅠ I have combination skin, and it's too dry to use in the winter. If I use it in the summer and have some left over...it's a dilemma ㅜㅠ

ConsAbove all, the amount control is too difficult... The plastic packaging makes it hard to tell when the product is used up, which is a bit disappointing

ConsIt's too drying :( When I apply it with a sponge, the sponge seems to absorb a lot of product :( The price is outrageous given the amount of product.
