First Look
Essence My Base comes in two variants: The Skin Perfection Make Up Base and and the Illuminating Make Up base. The Illuminating variant has ultra fine shimmer in it which reflects light, while Skin Perfecting variant comes plain without any shimmer. The product being reviewed here is the Skin Perfecting Make Up Base.
The Make Up base comes in a slender tube with a pump dispenser. The packaging is cute, simple and travel friendly with a cap that fits in firmly.
I expected the tube to be a normal squeeze type one, but this one came with a pumping mechanism which I’m not really happy with. Even though this provides a sophisticated way of product dispensing, which is more hygienic and mess- free, the downside is that we can’t actually control the amount of product. Since the product doesn’t have a runny consistency, and is more like a cream, it just shoots out from the tube everytime the pump is pressed.
Two pumps of product will be too much , while one pump is not enough. There is no way to put extra unused product back to the tube and this leads to product wastage.

My Experience
Essence My Base Skin Perfection Make Up Base has an orange tint to it. The tint seems a little too bright but once applied the tint blends to the skin tone and disappears.The consistency of the product is perfect, neither too runny nor too thick and spreads easily on skin.
On application , it takes a few seconds to set and the finish is semi-matte to dewy. It moisturizes the skin very well. The product actually makes my oily-combination skin look more oily and shiny.
If used as a tinted moisturizer, it does the moisturizing part well but the coverage is zero. It just evens out skin tone lightly. If not topped on with a setting powder unless you have dry skin, it is going to make the face look like an oil slick.
When the product is used as a primer , it didn’t do much. Neither did it fill in the pores nor did it provide a smooth surface for foundation application. It actually felt heavy on skin, and because of the dewy finish, it made the foundation slide off easily. Instead of providing long-lasting foundation, it actually made face oilier and the foundation to wear off faster.
After a lot o trial and error, the best method which I found to make this primer work is by mixing it with foundation and then apply it. This gives a flawless finish and makeup stays longer. Since the primer has an orange tint, it also helps to neutralize pink based foundations when mixed.
The product caused mild breakouts on the skin and tends to clog the pores on sensitive skin.
This product, from my experience will not suit for oily-combo skin types if used as a separate layer. Dry skinned people will definitely like it for the dewy finish and moisturization it provides.
