M.A.C Studio Fix Mattifine 12HR Shine-Control Primer 30ml

M·A·C Studio Fix Mattifine 12HR Shine-Control Primer is a mattifying make-up base designed to support a smoother-looking, longer-wearing complexion. The lightweight gel-to-powder texture glides over the skin, helping to diffuse the look of visible pores while immediately reducing the appearance of excess shine. Formulated to be oil-free, sweat- and humidity-resistant, it works to keep foundation looking fresher for up to 12 hours and may help skin feel more refined for hours after application.

Infused with shine-controlling Oil-Check Complex, lactobionic acid (PHA), algae extract and witch hazel, this primer is particularly suited to combination and oily skin types, or anyone who finds make-up breaks down through the day. Used after moisturiser and before foundation, it helps create a velvety, powder-soft finish that still feels weightless and comfortable on the skin. Worn alone, it can be used to help keep the T-zone looking more balanced and to promote a smoother, more even-looking canvas.

How to use
How to Use:
Apply to clean, dry skin after your usual moisturiser. Smooth a small, pea-sized amount of Studio Fix Mattifine 12HR Shine-Control Primer over the face, focusing on areas prone to oiliness or visible pores. Allow the formula to settle briefly, then follow with foundation or wear alone for a softly mattified finish.

Frequency:
Use as needed as part of your make-up routine, according to the product instructions.

Application Technique:
Dispense a small amount onto fingertips, a sponge or a brush. Gently smooth and blend over the T-zone and any other areas where shine tends to appear, then sweep over the rest of the face for an even base. Do not rinse; apply make-up directly over the primer once it has set.

Best Practices:
For best results, apply to thoroughly cleansed, well-moisturised skin and use thin, even layers rather than a thick coat. Allow skincare to absorb fully before applying the primer, and give the primer a moment to settle before foundation. Pair with long-wear foundation for extended make-up longevity.

Safety Tips:
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult the product packaging for further guidance. Keep out of reach of children and store according to the instructions on the pack.
