A lightweight, shine-controlling primer for matte, makeup-ready skin.
When glowy skin isn’t it: Very Mattifying Primer. Formulated with oil-taming, pore-blurring ingredients to help smooth imperfections, reduce unwanted shine, and leave skin with a velvety finish that holds. Like, all day.
Deals with excess oil, visible pores, and uneven texture so you don’t have to. For a soft-focus base that won’t disappear on you. Infused with niacinamide, vitamin E, and provitamin B5, this non-sticky formula delivers hydration while helping to minimise the look of texture and fine lines. The result? A calm, bright face and a smooth, matte canvas for makeup. No creasing. No sliding. No dry patches.
Lightweight enough for daily wear, but grippy enough for long days (and nights), Very Mattifying Primer keeps oil balanced, skin hydrated, and makeup well-behaved. 3PM shine doesn’t stand a chance.
Formulated in South Korea. Fragrance-free. Total (oil) control freak.

Smooth and Light!
I have traditionally steered away from primers because I found them heavy, thick and a bit greasy under my makeup but this has changed all that. Before I even put any makeup on my face, my skin felt smooth and plump from the product. My makeup stayed all day without going shiny or flaking off which in a Melbourne winter is a proper miracle. I hadn't considered a primer an essential part of my routine, but that has changed significantly!

Why We Made A Primer
A solid skincare routine will do most of the heavy lifting when it comes to skin health and appearance, and foundations will give an incredible finish. But even with all that sorcery, your skin (Breakouty? Dehydrated? Dull? Oily?) will eventually remind you it exists. Primers solve that.

a great new product
I usually use hourglass veil mineral primer (the only one I've found even comes close to keeping foundation on my skin all day) and this one seems to match that ability. I've only used it for a week or so now but it seems to help keep my foundation in place throughout the work day!

Velvety, luxurious and amazing!!
Love this product! At 41 years old I’ve never really used a primer, found them heavy. This primer has quickly become part of my daily routine, whether going make up free or under full makeup. Feels beautiful on my skin and keeps me shine free all day! (Monty also approves)
