#1 The Face Shop Lovely ME:EX Make up base

So for my first review, I decided to do a make up base since its one of the first things you should apply.
- (a little bit on make up bases for beginners: its important because it acts like a separator between your skin and foundation. it also makes your foundation last longer.)  

here's the official product description: -prevents radiation, Makeup Base that enables soft and baby-like skin, natural coverage and long lasting, makes transparent skin make up base, light weight and keep moisture

It comes in 2 colours, Green #1 and Violet #2

green is for people with reddish skin and lots of pimple marks while purple is for people with yellowish dull skin.

in my case, I got the purple one because it helps to whiten and lighten complexion.

As you can see, it is only 40ml in capacity...not a lot. However, I've come to discover that you do not need a lot of it for a total coverage, I normally only use 2 squirts and its more than enough.

Here's what it looks like on my hand

it's not very obvious on camera, but the lotion is actually VERY violet

it makes quite a difference, the bottom half of my hand is noticeably paler and smoother than the top half

User's reviews:

1. it's a good product for beginners, cheap and easy to use

2.the smell is okay, a bit like soap,which I don't really like

3. the coverage is really good, you don't need much of it

4.packaging is only a plastic bag

5.it whitens the skin and covers pores

6.it suits my skin tone (my skin is quite pale but it tends to look kind of yellow from lack of sleep etc)
and it makes me look more healthy

7.it feels like thick moisturiser, so not smothering at all

8.it lasts for about more than half a day or so (a day does not literally mean 24 hrs)

It's a worthy purchase, but I would probably not buy it again shortly as I'd want to sample other brands.

Price (online) $ 10~$15 USD
