Texture & Feel

Texture & Feel

Expected texture
Rich velvety cream with silicone slip — smooth application
SpreadabilityVery easy
AbsorptionVery fast
Tackiness / ResidueNone
Finish:Matte velvet — smooth, shine-free, "soft focus"

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.
