🔍 How This Primer for Smoothing Skin Works

🌿 Oil-Absorbing Yet Moisturizing

Finding the right balance between hydration and oil control can be tricky—this primer gets it just right. It contains ingredients that absorb excess oil and shine while keeping the skin comfortably moisturized. The result? A fresh, non-greasy matte finish that doesn’t dry you out.

💨 Smooths and Blurs Instantly

The lightweight texture glides effortlessly onto the skin, blurring pores, fine lines, and rough texture to create a smooth, even surface. It’s the perfect prep step that lets your foundation (or even just concealer) sit beautifully and last longer.

💄 Long-Lasting Makeup Wear

This primer doesn’t just prep your skin—it helps your makeup stay put. It locks in your base, resists humidity, and extends wear time so you can stay shine-free and flawless all day long.

🎯 Matte + Poreless Finish

As part of the cult-favorite Fit Me range, this primer delivers on its promise of mattifying the skin while minimizing the appearance of pores. Whether you’re layering it under foundation or wearing it solo for a clean, natural look, it provides that camera-ready, poreless effect instantly.


Perfect For:

  • Oily to combination skin types
  • Makeup beginners and pros alike
  • Quick on-the-go touch-ups (thanks to the travel-friendly 8g size)
  • Those who love a mattified yet healthy-looking base
