Texture & Feel

Texture & Feel

Expected texture
Lightweight gel-cream — silky, designed for the delicate eye area
SpreadabilityVery easy
AbsorptionFast
Tackiness / ResidueNone
Finish:Silky, lightweight — designed to absorb without pulling

Silicone-smooth or gel-light — designed for the thinnest skin on the face. 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.
