The Ordinary Silicone primer

Silicone primers excel at creating a smooth canvas for makeup, extending the wear, controlling oil, and minimizing shine, making them particularly suitable for oily or combination skin. However, they may feel heavy or accentuate dryness on dry skin and can sometimes cause makeup pilling if rubbed in too much or layered improperly. Silicone primers often include ingredients like dimethicone and cyclopentasiloxane, and some variants combine hydration or illuminating agents for added benefits. They are best applied on clean, moisturized skin with a gentle pressing motion, then allowed to set before foundation application to ensure smooth and long-lasting makeup ���.
