Key benefits

• Setting action helps makeup stay in place from morning to evening.
• Can be worn alone or layered during the day for a quick refresh without caking.
• Fine texture mats the skin and minimizes shine for a natural finish.
• Convenient 5 G size makes it easy to carry for on-the-go touch-ups.

Ingredients and why they matter

• Talc — provides a silky base that helps smooth skin and blur texture.
• Silica — helps control shine and improve the appearance of pores.
• Mica — adds a subtle, natural-looking tint and light-reflective balance.
• Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate — helps absorb oil and reduce tackiness on the skin surface.
• Magnesium Stearate — supports slip and helps the powder adhere to skin for long wear.
• Ethylhexyl Palmitate and Dimethicone — provide slip and slip-resistance, aiding a smooth, layered finish.
• Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A) — contributes to skin conditioning with a subtle brightening effect; use as directed and avoid prolonged sun exposure if sensitivity occurs.
• Iron Oxides (Ci 77491, Ci 77492, Ci 77499) — deliver the tinted finish you see in the product.
• Preservatives such as Phenoxyethanol and Caprylyl Glycol help keep the formula fresh between uses.

Usage tips and who it’s for

• Apply after makeup has been applied, loosely dusting powder all over the face to set makeup in place.
• Use alone for a soft, tinted finish or over your makeup for a quick touch-up during the day.
• Best for those seeking a light, natural look with long-wear capabilities without heavy coverage.
• Safety note: test on a small area of skin first to check for sensitivity, especially if you have reactive skin.

Keep in mind that this product is a cosmetic powder and should be stored in a cool, dry place. If any irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a professional. For best results, apply with a soft brush or puff to blend evenly and avoid over-application.

Prime & Stay Finishing Powder offers a practical solution for a polished complexion, blending well with multiple skin tones and makeup looks. Its tinted formula helps minimize the appearance of fine lines while keeping makeup locked in place across the day.
