Texture & Feel

Texture & Feel

Expected texture
Lightweight gel-cream — fresh, water-like feel
SpreadabilityVery easy
AbsorptionVery fast
Tackiness / ResidueNone
Finish:Luminous / radiant — subtle light-reflecting glow

Silicones create a smooth, velvety "slip" with a blurring sensory effect. Slight initial tackiness that fades into a hydrated dewy finish. Powder-like dry finish typical of "soft focus" pore-blurring primers.
