Ingredients 

You can see the ingredients on the picture. 

Packaging

It is 30 ml black plastic bottle with a pump dispenser covered with a lot of tiny sparkles. The packaging is quite nice yet irritating. It is travel friendly and you do not have to worry if you accidentally drop it but in the other side, you cannot tell how much the product is left. It would facilitate user if the packaging comes in transparent bottle or tube. Well, in this case if you want to see the product that left inside, you can pry the bottom cap with bobbi pin. I will show you the picture how I did it below. 

Texture and Scent

This lightweight, unscented white lotion with shimmery particles blends out wonderfully and does not blur pores. It leaves skin feeling velvety and moisturized and gives a smooth base to apply make up. Although i have an oily skin, I do not consider the glitters as a big issue as they are very subtle and not overpowering nor obvious especially if you layer foundation on top of it, they will seem vanish into your skin. It gives a natural glow and dries quite fast. 

Longevity of Make Up 

This product claims that it evens out skin redness - in my experience, it does not really tone the redness down, it is just okay. It also claims that it blots away excess oil, I agree with that. It does but so so. I noticed that my face get oily after a few hours using it (especially in outdoor) but better or less oily than when i do not have a primer at all. It does a good job as primer which is prolongs the wear of make up.

Application 

Apply it before foundation. 1 pump is enough for the entire face and blend it out using foundation brush or if you prefer fingers make sure that yours are clean.
