Mattifying Face Primer – Pore Minimizing, Oil Free & Long-Lasting Formula, 24ml

The Mattifying Face Primer with Pore Minimising, Oil Free Formula is a lightweight pre-makeup base that visibly smooths skin texture, blurs the appearance of pores, and controls shine for a flawless, long-lasting foundation canvas.

3. Apply evenly across the face using fingertips or a primer brush, working from the centre outward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to use a primer if I already use a good moisturiser?
Moisturiser and primer serve different purposes. Moisturiser hydrates the skin, while primer creates a smooth surface that helps makeup adhere and last longer. If you struggle with shine, visible pores, or makeup fading during the day, adding this primer step will make a noticeable difference.

Will this primer work with any foundation?
Yes — the formula is designed to be compatible with liquid, cream, powder, and CC foundation formulas. Allow the primer to set for about 60 seconds before applying foundation on top for the best blending experience.

Can I use this primer if I have dry skin?
This primer is oil-free and mattifying, so it is best suited to normal, combination, and oily skin. Those with dry skin may prefer a hydrating primer instead to avoid any emphasis on dry areas. If you do try it with dry skin, ensure you apply a generous moisturiser first and allow it to fully absorb.

Can I wear this without any foundation on top?
Absolutely — the primer can be worn alone as a standalone matte, pore-smoothing base for a naturally polished look. It creates a visibly refined, shine-free appearance without any foundation required.

Does this primer contain silicone?
Please refer to the full ingredient list on the product packaging. The silky, smoothing texture is achieved through a combination of skin-smoothing agents designed to minimise pore appearance and create a flawless base for makeup.
