Texture & Feel

Texture & Feel

Expected texture
Liquid, cream, or powder — ranges from watery fluid to dense cream depending on coverage
SpreadabilityVery easy
AbsorptionNormal
Tackiness / ResidueVery low
Finish:Variable — matte, dewy, or natural depending on formula

Pigment-rich and blendable — designed for buildable, even coverage. 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.
