Welcome to your new makeup essential. Whether you're conquering the boardroom or dancing the night away, the Velvet Skin Primer is designed to keep your beauty looking fresh and intentional from morning to night—no compromises.

What Is the Velvet Skin Primer?

The Velvet Skin Primer is more than just a prep product. It's your personal canvas creator. This silky, weightless formula smooths skin, blurs pores and fine lines, and ensures your makeup stays put all day while keeping your skin hydrated and nourished. Think of it as the foundation for your foundation—or the perfect base for a natural, glowing look without any makeup at all.

Why a Primer Matters

A good primer does the heavy lifting so you can focus on expressing yourself. It creates a smooth, even surface for makeup application, extends wear time, and helps your products perform at their best. With Velvet Skin Primer, you're investing in makeup that lasts as long as your ambitions.

What Makes Velvet Skin Primer Special?

  • Lightweight & Silky Texture Our formula feels like nothing on your skin—no heaviness, no greasiness. Just pure comfort that lets your skin breathe while working hard underneath.

  • Universal Compatibility Formulated for all skin types—oily, dry, combination, sensitive—the Velvet Skin Primer adapts to your unique skin. No guesswork needed; it works beautifully for everyone.

  • Infused with Nourishing Ingredients We don't believe in compromise. That's why our primer is enriched with Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) and Bisabolol to hydrate and soothe your skin, promoting a healthy, radiant complexion. Your skin gets stronger, not stressed.

  • Built-In UV Protection With titanium and zinc oxide, this primer offers added sun protection while creating that flawless finish. It's skincare and makeup prep rolled into one.

How to Use Velvet Skin Primer

Getting the most out of your primer is simple—just a few easy steps:

Step 1: Start with Clean, Moisturised Skin Apply your usual skincare routine first. Wait a moment for your moisturiser to set before moving to the next step.

Step 2: Apply a Pea-Sized Amount You don't need much. A small amount goes a long way with this concentrated formula. Gently dab onto your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.

Step 3: Blend Smoothly Using your fingertips or a damp beauty sponge, blend the primer outward until it sits evenly across your face. You should see a slight blur effect immediately.

Step 4: Wait 30 Seconds Let the primer set for a moment. This helps it create the perfect base for your makeup.

Step 5: Apply Your Makeup Whether you're using our Changing Foundation, concealer, or just a swipe of our Vibrant Cheeks Blush, your makeup will glide on effortlessly and last all day.

Velvet Skin Primer Solo: The No-Makeup Makeup Option

It blurs imperfections without masking your authenticity. Perfect for those days when you want to look put-together but feel like yourself.
