The Ordinary High Adherence Silicone Primer 30 ml
Description:
- The Ordinary High Adherence Silicone Primer 30 ml is a lightweight, non-greasy face primer designed to smooth skin texture, blur pores, and create a flawless, matte base for makeup. Using advanced, non-greasy silicones, it helps refine the appearance of fine lines and uneven texture while enhancing foundation adherence and wear time.
