Pore-Blurring Primer Balm Stick

A balm that turns to silk on contact and leaves skin looking smoothed, even and softly matte before makeup begins. Beeswax and squalane carry it across the skin without tackiness, while titanium dioxide gives a soft-focus finish that tempers shine along the T-zone.

Twist the base and sweep it over forehead, cheeks, nose and chin, then buff your foundation over the top with a brush. Base makeup sits level rather than catching on texture, and the finish stays put through a long working day and into the evening.

Reach for it when foundation settles into fine texture or shine returns by midday. It suits combination and oily complexions, and anyone building a base that holds through warm, humid weather. The 25g stick fits in a makeup bag for a midday touch-up.
