My old foundation was too thick thus I often experienced clogged pores and acne. After some researches, I found the girls were talking about gentle base which has lighter consistency so as not to clog pores. Therefore, I decided to try that.
I was cheered up by the sweet packaging. It comes in 40ml transparent bottle with pump, wrapped in lovely pink box.
I was happy to use that but a little bothered by its poor oil control and the poor coverage. Finally, I realized that I was misusing the function of the base. As I mentioned before, I hoped this base will replace the function of my old foundation. At least to cover my acne scars. But, in the fact this is designed for a different function.
Makeup base acts to smooth over skin imperfections: enlarged pores, fine lines, etc. it also prepares the skin for make up. Using base helps to strengthen the cosmetic’s colors and hold the makeup longer. Some of them also enriched with SPF as the sun protection.
To use: apply to cleansed and moisturized skin before foundation, or wear alone.
Different Shades
Make up Base comes in various shades such as green, purple, orange, and pink. Different shades effects differently on our skin.
Green shade acts as skin tone correcting. It fades out the red patches caused by sensitivity or blemishes. The green pigment makes the skin tone appears more even.
Purple and pink are suitable to diminish the dullness complexion.
Orange helps to correct darker patches such as dark eye circles.
About my Etude Skinfit base, surely it has no oil control, because it is:
“Moisturizing makeup base with SkinFit oil corrects redness in skin”
It is available in green and purple to correct skin tone and suitable for dry skin.

Hi, thanks for visiting my blog! Nice review- gentle bases are definitely better for our pores. I like that you explain the different color shades of base :) To answer your question on my safari post, yes the visitors sit in a safari truck and drive up and down this huge mountain of 400 acres to see the animals!
I actually want to buy this base in purple (it's great to brightening your skin, making it glowy) and I have seen this base at the mall in Jakarta, but I didn't buy it.. >_<
because at that time I'm concentrating to find BB Cream.. ^^
But reading your post, I become so tempted to buy it, hehe.. ^^
Great review!
@miss K. You thanks for coming. We also have a safari in Indonesia and yes, we also need to ride a car to see the whole zoo ^-^
@Ceecile thanks for reading^^ ya .. Now I'm focusing on the BB cream as well. I rarely use the base since BB cream is more complete for me :">
