"Redundant", "No use", "Waste time", "No coverage", "No benefit", "See no point in using it" are some of the most common misconceptions that girls have towards "PRE-MAKEUP BASES". Even though it does not have benefits that you can see like a foundation or concealer, it does make a difference in the long run because of the positive effect it will have on ur skin.
Do not overlook the IMPORTANCE of Pre-makeup bases. It actually helps to form a PROTECTIVE VEIL OVER YOUR SKIN!
Take for instance, Ettusais's pre-makeup bases - Medicated Acne Whitening UV Extra (S$41).
Here are some of the benefits:
- Act as sunscreen, protects ur skin from harmful UV rays. (SPF 24. PA ++, this is sufficient for day use!)
- Brightens up your face so u will look radiant!!
- Prevents makeup from fading. In other words, help to last longer.
- Ability to lighten acne scars, freckles & uneven skin tone.
- Has anti-bacterial effect that treats acne and prevents further outbreaks.
- Fragrance free. (Safe for users with sensitive skin)
P/S: Pls make sure you apply and blend the base EVENLY onto your skin. Do not leave white patches. Always shake before use.
It comes in 2 formulas:
1) Oil Block (Oily or Combination Skin)
- Moisturising
- Keeps skin fresh & matte
- Improved sebum and sweat absorption
2) Dry Block (Dry or Dehydrate Skin)
- Moisturising
- Hydrate skin with Star Ingredient: AC Control Oil
- Prevent Shine
I was given the Oil Block formula because my t-zone is kinda oily. After using the make-up base, sebum on my forehead takes a longer time to SHINE. haha. and my make-up colour doesnt fade as fast. Because i am always going outdoors for parties, dinners, events, etc, the oil block helps to keep my skin fresh and absorb sweat! Even when i go out at night, i will still apply it because i like the fact that it has moisturizing effect! and the best part of it is that it helps to slightly lighten my freckles on the left side of my face. better coverage when use it together with ZERO PORE PACT! ;)
