CAFFEINE FREE

"what is a pre-makeup base/primer?"

a lot of girls have the misconception that if they apply a moisturiser before their make up, that is a makeup base itself. a moisturiser only hydrates your skin, while a primer prepares your skin for makeup.

"do i really need it?"

during the day, it is likely that your foundation will shift. due to excess sebum secretion or your moisturiser. It might collect in certain areas, ie, around your nose, or it might disappear from around your mouth or eyes. as said, a pre-makeup base provides a protective veil on your face giving it the same consistency and allow your makeup go on more smoothly, and more importantly, stay in place while giving you a flawless finish.

ive used ettusais' pre-makeup base, medicated acne whitening UV extra (oil block), for a while and i love it!

i did up a little diagram as to why:

yup, although the one in oil block is runny (as seen), you'll be surprised to find out that it dries to a soft satiny finish and brightens up my face!


available in two formulations:

"how do i apply it?"

1) after your moisturizer, shake well and apply about 4-5 drops/pea sized amount to clean hands.
2) Softly massage into the skin including the eye area, bearing extra concentration to the T-Zone areas as well as areas with/prone to fine lines.
3) Hang around for about a minute for it to dry and there, go ahead and use your fundamentals.

im not too sure about it lightening my dark spots as i'd probably need more time to judge that, but it sure made my skin brighter and more luminous! i even use it on days when im going out without foundation on, because not only does it shield my skin from the harmful UV rays, it protects it against daily external aggressors while keeping my face fresh!

its oil-free and lightweight texture is really the cherry on top. overall, a great product i'd recommend. (:
