Gracy Essence Powder BB SPF22 (1)

I think this is great for touching up your makeup, not after applying makeup primer in the morning. It's slim and doesn't take up much space in your makeup bag. I carry it with me and a slim brush. It also has sunscreen, so I'm happy with it.

It's a convenient item for saving time and touch-ups. It feels light immediately after application, but as time passes, it feels moisturized and blends in. Even a thin layer can look powdery and thick, so I found it difficult to layer for full coverage. While it doesn't dry out or feel brittle, it does come off easily with sweat, so I'm not sure if it's something you need to touch up frequently. Because the shade selection is limited, even the lighter shades are quite dark, and depending on how much you apply, they can make your face look darker. For products with three or more shades, if you normally choose the lightest shade, I strongly recommend checking the shade before purchasing.

I recently purchased and used Integrate Gracie's Light Finishing Powder UV, but when I used it after applying gel foundation, the powder would get wet and harden, which meant that the next time I used it, it wouldn't adhere properly to the sponge and I had to scrape it off, which was a pain. So I tried this product, and it had no effect at all, the powder didn't harden, and it's comfortable and hassle-free to apply makeup every time. It also has better coverage than the Light Finishing Powder, and on days when light makeup is okay this time of year, this product is enough to hide imperfections and doesn't dry out my skin. It'll probably be dry in the winter, but I plan to use it all the time during the hotter months. Shiseido has a lot of affordable products that are satisfying, which is great. When layered over Gracie's BB foundation, it covers almost everything except for small blemishes on the cheeks.

I bought this because it was recommended on YouTube, but it didn't really suit me.

[2 Natural to Dark Skin Tone] Perhaps because the powder is moist, it sticks too thickly to the puff and doesn't transfer well to the skin. The third image appears to have only been used twice, but I thought it would be clear that the powder was stuck to the puff, so I included it, even though it looks messy. Incidentally, the puff has a brushed surface on one side and a regular sponge on the other, allowing you to choose the finish you prefer. This may actually help prevent thick application. This is a matter of personal preference, so I can't say it's good or bad. Regarding my concern about uneven application, if I moisturize my skin thoroughly during my skincare routine and my skin is moist, it can sometimes stick unevenly or feel bulky. I found that applying this powder after leaving my skin smooth gave me a beautiful finish. I use this powder immediately after applying Anessa. Anessa leaves the skin smooth, so it's a good match. This powder requires specific skincare and primer, so some people may find it troublesome. I recommend it if you understand its properties and think it will work well with your existing products. ☆★Thank you to everyone who read the review★☆
