Why You’ll Love It
This fresh gel-like primer creates a smooth canvas for easy application of makeup, reduces shine, and helps balance the skin in any climate. Gives an instant matte finish in any situation. Introducing a lightweight primer with a versatile, fresh gel-like texture that glides gently over the skin for a velvety soft matte finish. It instantly smooths out uneven skin, improves the adhesion of foundation, reduces shine, and provides a beautiful finish that lasts. It uses NARS's unique climate balancing technology to give a soft matte finish even when used alone. Equipped with a dual action system that adjusts to the environment, preserving moisture in dry climates and absorbing excess moisture in humid climates, preventing makeup from coming off due to excess sweat and oil.
How to Work It Into Your Routine
Before applying makeup, apply a small amount to your entire face to evenly smooth the skin surface and make it easier for foundation to spread. It creates a soft, matte finish for a smooth complexion and can also be used alone. Not for use on eyelids. We recommend using eye primers such as "Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base" or "Tinted Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base" on your eyelids. After prepping your skin with your skincare routine, use before makeup. Take a pearl-sized amount on your fingertips and blend into your skin. Open the cap by pushing it straight up from the front. After use, wipe the opening of the container clean to prevent the contents from drying out, and then close the cap tightly. Do not store in direct sunlight or in high temperatures.

Honest reviews from skincare lovers around the globe.
I bought this because I was concerned about the oiliness on my nose and forehead. It feels smooth when you apply it to your skin, but it doesn't dry it out, so I've been able to use it without any problems so far.
From the moment I picked it up and applied it to my skin, I felt a strange sensation I'd never experienced before. It felt like it was filling in my pores and uneven areas of my face. I thought the texture was a little heavy, but it glides on smoothly. I'm not sure when I'll be sweating, but it doesn't smudge my makeup easily, so overall I think it's a great primer. However, I think it might not be enough for those hoping for a toning effect.
I was considering another primer, Light Reflecting Tone Up Veil, but I was very concerned about my pores, so after talking to the store staff, I decided to buy the Soft Matte Primer. It really smoothed out the uneven areas around my pores, and my skin looked so much better. My makeup stayed put, and it stayed on for quite some time without looking shiny. I really love it!

Best of all, it makes pores less noticeable. And it doesn't break down easily. The smell is a bit annoying, but I think it's pretty good.
