Why we love it: The Blithe Inbetween Makeup Prep Essence 30ml is designed to bridge skincare and makeup in a single step. With a creamy texture that preps the skin before foundation, it coats the surface to create a smooth, ready canvas. The product taps into Blithe’s concept of three essence ideas—FilmEssence for a refined texture, GlueStickEssence for enhanced color payoff and long wear, and EraserEssence as part of the brand’s in-between routine—delivering a balanced base without adding heaviness. Formulated with a thoughtful blend of humectants, barrier-supporting ingredients, and skin-conditioning extracts, it supports comfortable, more even makeup application. Description: The Inbetween Makeup Prep Essence functions as a pre-m makeup primer that sits between your skincare and makeup routine. Its creamy texture glides onto the skin to help even out the complexion, aiming to improve makeup adhesion and longevity while maintaining a natural look. The formula combines humectants and nourishing actives, including Niacinamide for improved texture and brightness, Ceramide NP to support the skin barrier, and Adenosine for a subtle anti-wrinkle effect. With Squalane and plant-derived ferment filtrates, the essence seeks to provide conditioning without a heavy residue. A fragrance component is present in the list of ingredients, contributing to a pleasing application experience. This 30ml bottle is compact enough for travel, making it easy to incorporate into daily routines for makeup-ready skin. How to Use: 1. Use before applying makeup. 2. Apply a moderate amount of the cream over the entire face, then spread evenly. Allow it to settle briefly before applying foundation or other makeup products for a smoother base and more even color.
