BLITHE - chronicallybadassbeauty review for InBetween Makeup Prep Essence

This is a lightweight serum that works to protect and prep the skin before applying makeup-- creating a radiant, smooth, flaw-free canvas. It enhances makeup wear while evening the skin's texture and also helps make removing makeup easier during the cleansing process. Key ingredients: -It is formulated with fermented soybeans, tomato leaf, rice extract, & ginseng, all of which help to fortify the skin's natural barrier. -Also contains squalane, niacinamide, and ceramides which work to brighten and boost hydration. This product can be used with or without makeup, and gives the skin a beautiful glow from within when worn alone. When wearing under foundation, I have noticed that it layers beautifully! There is no pilling or buildup and it feels very lightweight on the skin, so it doesn't feel oily or greasy. The serum has a juicy, slightly viscous consistency that is similar to a light gel, which helps keep my skin hydrated. It glides onto the skin so smoothly and leaves behind a slight tackiness, ensuring that the makeup has something to adhere to. There is a beautiful lavender scent that isn't overbearing and doesn't linger for long after applying. The best way I can describe this product is like a primer + a barrier-- it multi-tasks to intensify makeup while creating a protective veil that helps keep makeup and other harmful external particles from coming into direct contact with the skin. This essence also works to prevent dryness from makeup wear. The light film it creates makes the makeup removal process a breeze, as it gently strips the coat of serum off of the skin along with all makeup that adhered to it. Whether using with or without makeup my pores are noticeably more blurred, my skin is more hydrated & glowy, and much less dull than if I weren't using it. This product has really taken my makeup game to the next level and has made my routine so much easier!
