Etude House Peach Base

I got this on my trip to Korea, and thought that this would be a great primer since I have mild rosacea. It is the Etude House Pore Smoothing Peach Base. Comes a nice pump and has a strong fake peach scent. I mentioned that the Tony Moly hand cream had a scent, well this is the same scent. I don't know if the scent of peach is the same in all of the products form Korea, but it smells the same but fades quickly. Applied on my hand, it isn't think but a little on the liquidy side, and it has subtle shimmer in it to give the face a glow, but it wasn't like, why do you have glitter on your face. I put a drop and on the bottom, I blended it out. See, blended out all over my hand now, and it gave my hand a nice sheen to it. But if you notice, it made my hand a shade lighter than what it was before. Yes, you may say its the flash, but I tell you no, its the primer.

This is after I had the primer on my face This is before. Yes, I probably should have done this oppositely but bear with me. I have redness on my cheeks in the 2nd pic, but it's slightly toned down in the first picture.
You have to be careful, because this will give you a whitish cast to your skin if you apply it all over, so I suggest you take a little bit and only apply to the place you have redness. As a primer, my BB Cream stayed on for a bit longer, but nothing too much, and it really didn't do much for oil control. It felt nice on the skin and the BB cream went on better than on bare skin. However, I wouldn't repurchase this again, because its hard to get a hold of, and I really don't like the white, dead look that I get from this. Maybe its all Etude products because my Etude powder foundation also gave me the same sickly zombie like skin tone. I actually had to put on a good amount of blush, and coming from a person who has rosacea on her cheeks, I almost never have to put blush on.
Btw, these two things, especially the Milani. may be my new loves. Sorry Urban Decay, I may turn my back on you.
