WHAT IT IS
If your makeup starts looking shiny through the T-zone or seems to emphasize pores and texture, adding more powder isn’t always the answer.
Oil-Control Matte Face Primer is a lightweight, silky primer designed to help smooth the look of pores and uneven texture while creating a soft-matte base for foundation, tinted moisturizer, or BB cream.
The clear silicone-based formula glides easily over skin, helping complexion makeup apply more evenly without adding another heavy layer.
Use it all over or just where you tend to get shiny.
Smooth the texture. Control the shine. Keep the makeup light.

WHY IT MAKES SENSE AFTER 40
Skin after 40 can be a mix of concerns.
You may notice more visible texture or pores while still getting oily through the forehead, nose, or chin.
Instead of adding extra foundation or repeated layers of powder, a mattifying primer lets you target the areas that need more shine control while keeping the rest of your makeup simple.
Mattify where you need it. Keep the rest of your skin looking like skin.
HIGHLIGHTED INGREDIENTS
Cyclopentasiloxane
A lightweight silicone that helps give the primer its silky slip and smooth application.
Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer
Helps create the soft, velvety texture that visually smooths the appearance of pores and uneven texture.
BEST FOR
• Oily or combination skin
• T-zone shine
• Visible-looking pores
• Uneven makeup texture
• Foundation that needs a smoother base
• Anyone who prefers a soft-matte rather than dewy finish
HOW TO USE
Apply after your skincare and sunscreen have fully absorbed.
Use a small amount and smooth a thin layer over areas where you notice shine, visible pores, or uneven texture.
Focus on the forehead, nose, chin, or cheeks as needed.
Allow the primer to set for about 30–60 seconds, then follow with foundation, BB cream, or tinted moisturizer.
