Review 1 for Makeup Color Base Pearl White SPF 16 PA++

Flawless, longer wearing foundation
-08.16.12
Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing, creamy, lengthens foundation wear, diffuses pores
I love the way my foundation looks, but I only get about 6 hours of really great wear with it. This Makeup Color Base Pearl White creates a flawless finish and made my makeup last ALL day...10 hours or more! When I went to wash it off at night I was shocked at how flawless it still looked- I'm normally quite dewy by the end of the day. I love the creamy texture of this primer in that it doesn't have that silicone feeling that causes me to breakout uncontrollably (bare essentials and laura mercier primers wrecked havoc on my skin). I also noticed my acne scars and pores were definitely minimized. I'll continue to use this and hopefully I don't break out :).

Review 3 for Makeup Color Base Pearl White SPF 16 PA++
Perfection
-02.04.12
I've tried quite a few primers and I never saw the point of adding them to my routine. They never did anything for me besides leave a residue on my skin and cost me money.
This one, however, changes everything. It gives my skin a porcelain doll effect, and has the most finely milled amount of shimmer. It is so finely milled and such a small amount that I feel like I am offending the product by calling it shimmer. It just makes your skin feel and look amazing. Ready to look like a doll. It does not leave any gross silicone residue on your skin either.
I have to hold back everything from slathering it on. I wish I could just bathe in the stuff.

Review 4 for Makeup Color Base Pearl White SPF 16 PA++
Great as an eyeshadow!
-01.12.12
Quick Take: shimmery
I was not expecting this to have such big chunks of shimmer (not glitter), but its not totally unwearable on the cheeks, just not as natural as a benefit highlighter- which is much cheaper. This has great luminosity and makes my eyes look awake when I use it on my lids, and it looks shimmery and pearlescent on the cheeks. I probably would not repurchase because of the price, but will use for all the good-for you ingredients and how great of a quick eyeshadow it is. I would never put this on my whole face because of the shimmer. This helps you look healthy, but it doesn't look completely natural because the shimmer is so big, although not dense enough to be too noticeable.

Review 5 for Makeup Color Base Pearl White SPF 16 PA++
Great base
-11.26.11
Quick Take: lightweight, evens out skintone
The Base Pearl White base provided good even coverage. I deducted one star because I wished it had a little more silicone like other primers. Instead of using it for a primer, I added a drop of Pearl White on my foundation brush along with my foundation. It adds a nice sheen to foundation.

Review 6 for Makeup Color Base Pearl White SPF 16 PA++
best primer out there
-09.13.11
Quick Take: lightweight, fast-absorbing
So glad to see this at Sephora. I alternate this with my Hourglass primer.
You only need one squirt--and you can use it under foundation or mix it with a bit of liquid foundation.
I warm it for a second bewtween my fingers and it allows it to glide right on.
It works well under all types of foundations, especially powder foundations. It helpa a lot with controlling oil & allows you to look great from early AM through night.
It also makes your skin look amazing all by itself.
This is an amazing product!
