Blot & Blur Matte Primer Stick

NUDESTIX Blot & Blur Matte Primer Stick is a clear stick that starts as a balm and finishes as a powder. It soaks up oil and softens the look of uneven texture, so it can play the part of a primer in the morning or a touch-up tool at 4pm. Because it is clear, it does not interfere with the colour of anything you put over or under it.

What it actually does

• Absorbs oil on contact. Silica and Jeju Island volcanic ash are both there to take up excess oil — the ash is a naturally oil-absorbing mineral.
• Softens the look of texture. NUDESTIX describes it as visibly blurring texture imperfections, which is the job it does under foundation.
• Mugwort extract is included as a skin-nourishing extract aimed at the appearance of blemishes and irritation.
• Doesn't pile up. The brand's point about this stick is that you can dot it over existing makeup without cakey build-up — so it works mid-day, not just at step one.
• Three jobs, one stick: primer underneath, setting step on top, and blotting throughout the day.
• Formula callouts from the brand: vegan, gluten-free and cruelty-free, free of parabens, formaldehydes and formaldehyde-releasing agents, phthalates, mineral oil, retinyl palmitate, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, SLS and SLES sulfates, triclocarban and triclosan, with under one percent synthetic fragrance.

How to use

1. As a primer: glide it over areas where texture looks uneven before your base goes on.
2. As a setting step: run it over finished makeup where you want shine turned down — the balm sets to powder.
3. As a blotter: keep it with you and dot it onto oily areas during the day.
4. Keep it cool. Store below 22°C and away from direct heat, or the stick softens.

Questions

Will it leave a white cast?

The formula is clear, so it isn't designed to add colour or lightness. Apply in thin passes and press rather than drag if you want it completely invisible.

Can I use it over makeup, or only before?

Both. NUDESTIX specifically designed it to work on fresh skin and over finished makeup, dotted on to blur and blot without product piling up.

Does it melt in Egyptian summer?

The brand's own care instruction is to keep it at room temperature below 22°C and away from direct heat, since the stick softens if it gets hot. Don't leave it in a parked car.
