I bought the Brightening Spot Control Base in Green (32g). I saw hair and makeup artist Imutan on YouTube and he said it was great, so I was curious and bought it. Most control bases are watery, but this one isn't. It's thick and covers redness well. It's been a while since I've found a good control base. I'm very happy with my purchase. However, the lid is small, so it's sometimes difficult to stand up. Other than that, it's perfect.
I have the green one too and love how moisturizing it is and how opaque it is, so I bought the pink one too!
It contains SPF and PA, and I love it because it tones up my skin just enough to make it look beautiful.
I had been using Credo's popular primer, but I felt the coverage wasn't quite there, so I was looking for a new one and came across this one. I like it so much that I'll definitely be buying it again. The texture is a little thicker than Credo, and the coverage is even. I also have reddish skin, and I previously used Won Jongyo's yellow primer, which I loved because it made my skin look even and whiter. This ivory primer seems to have a similar effect. It evens out uneven skin tone, and I love it. Also, when I had my makeup touched up at a department store, the beauty advisor recommended this product, saying that although it's not heavily promoted, it has solid color control and is highly recommended. It feels a little harsher on the skin than Credo, so I'll probably need to use it differently depending on the situation, but I'll continue to use it.
