Have you always wanted to play with makeup like in your childhood days?
Once upon a time...
When Little G is growing up, she often sees her mommy putting on "strange" powders & "weird" sticks and voila her mommy looks interesting! She also observes this even stranger change.
As if black magic happens, after her mommy does this beauty ritual everytime she goes out, her mommy radiates with happiness, smiles more and looks at her adoringly. When she asks for a toy she wants, mommy will either buy for her or tell her nicely that she will buy another time. She especially loves mommy like this.
So she waits patiently for these moments. She also associates these moments with happiness and treasures them.
Hence that beautiful image stays stuck on her mind ever since.
As she grows up, slowly becoming a teenager, turning adult, she starts to develop a natural instinct to reach out for makeup. Subconsciously, she knows it makes her happy & radiant too.
And she too reaches out for some makeup... and more she receives & been blessed with ^_~
The beautiful tale begins.....

My Honest Professional Review:
Radiance Primer
Primers are my top secret weapons (by now, everyone who know me knows I preach it like a broken record!) to any flawless & poreless complexion on any model or celebrity's face I have the chance to apply makeup on!
As you know, most people have enlarged pores and they are so tired of concealing them with powder that didn't seem to help. Their pores get clogged easily and their makeup don't ever last.
MY Solution: USE A PRIMER. (
Apply it before foundation after sunscreen.
Say bye bye to oiliness & smudging!
