Apply to the complexion before the application of foundation.

I'm using the product right after skincare, so it was the first step of makeup before any foundation is applied.  The product comes in this pretty box and lovely container. The box has all the details needed and everything is written clearly in several language.

The bottle container is a duff clear with white top. There's an accent of chrysanthemum on the container. The pump works well dispensing the formula and it was like a creamy gel with lovely fruity flowery aroma.

It blended easily on the skin and gives my skin a 'just the right touch' coverage. Fine lines, large pores, redness, acne marks, signs of fatigues, they are all disappear.  My skin seems like a new canvas, ready to be colored.

The formula is pleasing, non sticky, feels comfortable when used, lightweight, non greasy, and suitable for those looking for a primer with fresh looking skin, not really 'glowing' nor 'radiance' type but more like after shower in the morning.

Any foundation used afterwards is easy and I'm using the Gel Foundation from Paul & Joe as well and they works well together providing an ample coverage.

Can I use the Protecting Foundation Primer S alone without any addition to the base? Yes! It has that natural soft focus finish, like your skin is just made that way, effortlessly brighter and fresh.

But, if you want to pile it up with concealer, foundation and powders, like my images here, I can gladly say that thanks to Protecting Foundation Primer S, I don't have to use much as without. The formula able to held the products better hence I only need to add a few thin layers afterwards.

Using the Protecting Foundation Primer S also made my makeup last longer and better too. I was having flu and annoying cough for the past week, it means cold sweats every now and then, using the primer really made a huge difference. It made my makeup stays put. 

When attending events especially, I need my makeup to stay and I don't want to look sick. The primer helps making sure the base stays intact and so does the color makeup. I didn't look sick. My nose doesn't seem red and the sweats doesn't melt the makeup easily. I made it through looking healthy when I'm actually not.

Overall,

A very good primer that I would like to recommend. I love the fresh finish and the feeling like using none. The primer helps adding hours to the makeup and helps them to stays better against all odds (like cold sweat). I'm head over heels with the skincare ingredients inside the primer and this is truly what I like to call as skincare infused makeup that works!
