Good day, lovely readers!
It is only but recently did I appreciate the usage of moisturizers and primers before I put on makeup.
I do own some makeup base/primers but most of them just made my face all shiny faster. I also use moisturizers before I sleep, but I avoided using them before I apply makeup. I've always thought that I didn't need it since I have oily skin (I was afraid that it will just make my skin more oily) and that I was still young and I that I will just use it when I reach my mid 20's, like 24 or 25. :P
I've been seeing a lot of posts about makeup primers and daily moisturizers, affordable ones at that, and I got curious to try some that will hopefully be effective for me.
And I did! One of those I tried and found effective is...

Other details:
Ingredients:
Etude House Dr. Oil Solution Shine Free Dual Primer is actually 2 products in 1 -- inside the tube is a liquid moisturizer/primer and in the cap is a solid primer that focuses on covering or hiding bigger pores!
The product has a mild scent too. Not irritating at all!
AND it dries fast so you can proceed on your makeup routine and not wait so long just to let the primer dry!
The pore cover primer is not sticky at all. My face actually feels silky when I apply this. I apply this on my nose, and on some parts of my cheeks and forehead.
Does it cover my pores?
Well... when I finish with my foundation, I do see a difference. It doesn't cover my ever-so-annoying-huge-pores, but it does make it look smaller. :P
The product also has a mild scent and it has a little compact mirror too!
Did it lessen the oiliness of my face?
Yes. Usually, when I'm outdoors, my skin gets all shiny in 2 hours. But recently, I've been outside doing errands for my thesis and I noticed that I only needed to do touch-ups after 4 hours. I kept on asking friends if I look shiny and I get positive feedbacks. So I'm very happy with that. Although my sis, Tracy, said that it doesn't do much for her (her skin is more oily than mine) and only prolongs the face getting shiny for only 30 minutes or so.
My foundation doesn't get cakey too. It usually happens to me before when I get too oily or put too much concealer and such. :)
Do I recommend it?
Yes I do! It works, it's affordable, and locally available! Although I wish that it has a high SPF -- it doesn't state if it has and how much. :(
I do like this product but I am still willing to try out others. I haven't tried much but very willing to experiment. Any suggestions?
