I had this for almost a year. I just did not want to use it for some reason. Thanks to the tinted moisturizer, I finally tore the foil cap and use it. I tried with the foundations I have at the moment. I tried it after moisturizer. I tried it on a clean face. The packaging said I can use either way. I like it as it is soft/watery feels like gel and just goes on easily. It is clear and gives an invisible layer to give your face a smooth canvas. It dry pretty alright, doesn't break me out. Helps to prolong my foundation. Helps to smooth out foundations making them so much cleaner and nicer overall.
It is pricey, I wouldn't buy it again as I like long lasting foundation in first place. So I find that this is a redundant step. I guess it is nice for an important day or night to use a primer. But for daily, not a big fan. Oh except to cover my pores. So wait, I guess it is quite an important step. But if you have really good foundation, then you wouldn't need a primer right? But this doesn't really hide my pores, so its not the primer of my choice.
Tinted moisturizer in porcelain which is the lightest shade. It's just a tube shared between cousins, so each one of us get a bit of sample. It is an ok tinted moisturizer. It is not as moisturizing. As it is really hard to glide onto skin. It gives a sheer and smooth finish, once you managed to cover your whole face. The best way to apply is using your fingers. Using brush is just too jerky. From the picture, you will think its watery. It looks like it, but it is pretty thick. Strangely it becomes a light coverage.
Application with the face primer is much better. Any primer will do. It is still hard to apply, but blend a bit easier.
Anyway this is oil-free, one of the thing I like about. It doesn't give a matte finish, but it isn't oily. I still have to apply powder to set it, but the oil control is moderate. Pretty much last until I want to take them off. Porcelain is too light for me though. But yes, this is where the bronzer comes in.
