ConsThe sunscreen had a smooth, non-greasy application, with a white color and pearlescent finish that helped brighten and liven up the complexion. At first, it applied smoothly, but after fully absorbing, there was a slightly drying sensation and some pilling. I had the chance to try this product as a sample from Shu Uemura, and I think it could work well for those who prefer a glowy base, but since I tend to like more semi-matte or satin finishes, it didn't quite match my personal preferences.

It contains pearls, so even a small amount makes the face brighter and more radiant. If you have good skin, just using this could give you skin like Kim Hee-ae's. Even if your skin is dry, after using it, there is a sense of moisture, so it seems good for those with dry skin. I plan to use it in the areas I want to glow.
ConsPersonally, I don't prefer products with pearls. I tend to get breakouts when they get stuck in my pores. It might be better to use it in parts. The price also seems a bit high compared to the amount.
TipIf you apply it after using a light base, the oil content in the product will blend well, so it will be good to use.

The Strobe Cream is a moisturizing cream with a pearl-like effect, but this one has tiny pearl particles. When you apply this and then put on foundation, it gives a glossy, radiant finish. It has a similar feel to the Laura Primer, but with an added glow effect. I'd recommend this to those who want to create a light and luminous look.
ConsHmm, it seems a bit too oily. Those who don't like the oily feel might not like it. And the scent... ugh.

It's like it's on, but not on - the glow is great 😄 Compared to other pearl bases, it doesn't make the face feel as stuffy, and when applied, it has a bouncy, supple feel!
ConsSince it has pearl, when I used it for a few days in a row, breakouts kept coming up..... I had to stop using it, and even a few weeks later when I tried it again, the breakouts came back..... 😭😭😭😭😭 I feel like the pearl is clogging my pores... Among pearl bases, this was the only one with a texture I really liked, but the breakouts made me give it to a friend.

The skin expression is pretty, with a subtle glow that is not too much, and it even has UV protection.
ConsAfter using it for a day, a couple of small bumps appeared, and by the second day, it was a full-on acne party... My skin was completely disrupted, and I had to stop using it right away. It seems the ingredients don't agree with me. I'm so disappointed.

There is a subtle glow on the bare face.
ConsPersonally, this product is not really for me. Shu Uemura base products don't seem to suit me very well. It's not like the MAC Strobe Cream where it makes your skin feel moisturized when you apply it. And when I apply foundation on top, the glow gets covered up, so the effect is not there. The formula is moisturizing, but the finish doesn't feel very hydrating and it ends up being a bit silky. In my opinion, the MAC Strobe was much better.

I originally had a lot of pores and blackheads, so the foundation didn't adhere well and my skin expression wasn't very pretty. But when I use this, it gives a bit of a primer effect and my skin expression becomes really pretty, and the foundation adhesion also gets better. You should definitely buy it!
ConsThere isn't any yet, but I'll let you know if it happens later on.
TipDon't apply too much, use an appropriate amount. And apply it mainly to the central part of your face! If you apply it all over, your face may look bigger.

When I apply this and do my makeup, my skin looks great haha
ConsThe UV protection factor is too low.. These days, a lot of products come out with SPF 50, but... I don't know about winter, but in the summer I have to apply sunscreen once more, which is inconvenient.. I'm a bit disappointed that the UV protection factor isn't higher

The skin naturally has a glow. It's not a shimmery pearl. No. 1 Pure Glow is recommended for cool-toned skin. It's a bit bright, so if warm-toned people use it, it may look a bit cyberpunk. Warm-toned people can use No. 2 Warm Glow.
ConsIt's expensive, but since you don't use much, it should be fine. Not recommended for oily and acne-prone skin, even in the winter when it's an oil slick. It needs to be applied very neatly for the skin makeup to look pretty. I feel it wears off on my oily skin.
TipIt would be better if the glow was a bit more pronounced. Applying it on top would be good (the Mac product has a pearl that comes through even as a base, but this product is very subtle, so it's more noticeable when applied on top rather than as a base, although there is a difference even when used as a base, but it's too subtle...)
