Face Base

A good face base preps the skin to absorb make-up better for a flawless complexion. Eye make-up, face powders and cheek blushers tend to sit on better with a smoother face base and stay on longer too.

SMIM Hydrating Density Emulsion

THE FACE SHOP

This light green bottle is recommended for combination skin to me by the shop manager as one of the better choice for my skin type. So I decided to go ahead and give it a shot as a day moisturizer, so far it does a good job without any stickiness in this hot weather. The moisturizing emulsion has a smooth texture for those who want a well-moisted skin.

FACE it Primer

Velvet Skin

THE FACE SHOP

The same shop manager recommended me this bottle of primer as one of their better selling products. As the name suggests, this primer will solve the uneven skin tone by creating a smooth velvety finish to the face base. For those who find themselves with oily T-zones, this primer can create a matt finish after application for smooth as velvet skin.



Make-up Base – Moist and Natural

SANA Pore Putty

 

Pores, visible and enlarged will go away once you smooth over this cream base. Hailed from Japan it works like a tinted moisturizer (fair tint to go along with most Japanese women’s fair complexion) and feels like sunscreen when applied on skin with an SPF 25 PA++. This brand is one of the top experts for pore minimizing and you can Google keanapate.jp to see the before and after picture of pore minimizing for age in the 30s. If the light cream tint is not suitable for you then not to fret as there is the clear make-up base version which you can get.


Soothing Face Mist

Guardian

This is a must-have for skin dehydration on long flights. As the cabin air is quite drying for my skin, I just need to spray it on my face whenever I need a mist of water. It has oleanic acid to do the trick for providing a moisture mist and Q10 for skin radiance. Witch hazel extract tightens skin to promote a youthful complexion. If during the day your make-up turns oily and face appears shiny in the office, before make-up you can spray this on your face as well. Please close your eyes and spray 30cm away to avoid eye irritation.
