blur primers

• Silk Screen Smoothing Primer: is a lightweight cream primer with Vitamin A, Vitamin E and Squalane that gives a dewy, filter-like finish and improves skin texture over time.
• Quick Stick Priming Balm: is a charcoal infused stick with Niacinamide and Tea Tree that mattifies and controls shine, making it best suited to oily or combination skin.
• Line Erase Undereye Jelly: is a targeted formula with Vitamin B3, Centaurea Cyanus and Hyaluronate that hydrates and primes the delicate under eye area.
• Airbrush Effect Finishing Powder: is a translucent tinted powder with Niacinamide that sets makeup and adds a soft-focus finish on top.

All four blur the appearance of pores and fine lines, so the right pick comes down to whether skin needs a dewy base, a matte base, targeted under eye priming or a setting step to finish the look.

Blurring primers use finely milled ingredients to scatter light across the skin's surface, which visually softens the appearance of pores, fine lines and texture rather than physically filling them in. Natio's Silk Screen Smoothing Primer combines this light diffusing effect with Vitamin A, Vitamin E and Squalane, so it blurs imperfections instantly while also working on skin texture with continued use.

Not necessarily. Whether a primer clogs pores comes down to its formula. Natio's Quick Stick Priming Balm was formulated with Charcoal, Niacinamide and Tea Tree specifically for oily and acne-prone skin, with an oil absorbing formula that helps manage the shine and congestion that can contribute to breakouts rather than causing them. Niacinamide also helps strengthen the skin barrier and calm redness, so it supports skin rather than working against it.

It can, particularly with primers that rely heavily on silicone or mineral powders that reflect flash photography. Natio's Silk Screen Smoothing Primer is designed with a light reflecting rather than light bouncing finish, which is intended to soften skin in person without the flat, ghostly look some silicone primers give under camera flash. As with any primer, using a thin, pea-sized amount helps avoid a heavy cast.

Natio Blur primers are designed to wear under makeup for a full day. The Quick Stick Priming Balm's oil absorbing, non-tacky formula is built to keep shine controlled through the day, while the Airbrush Effect Finishing Powder can be used to touch up and re-set the blurred, soft-focus finish over top of makeup without disturbing it.

For visibly large pores, the Silk Screen Smoothing Primer and Quick Stick Priming Balm both target pore appearance directly, with the Quick Stick's charcoal core also drawing out excess oil that can make pores look larger. For an all-over softening effect over makeup, the Airbrush Effect Finishing Powder sets on top with a translucent, soft-focus finish that helps minimise the look of pores through the day.
