DO YOU NEED PRIMER WITH MATTE FOUNDATION?

The best way to ensure your matte makeup lasts all day is to create a foundation base using Fit Me Matte + Poreless Mattifying Face Primer. Not only does it extend the wear of your makeup, but it also controls shine, blurs pores, and helps to protect skin with SPF 20. The result is an instant mattifying effect that lasts up to 16 hours and flawless-looking skin. You can also touch up your t-zone throughout the day with the oil-absorbing Fit Me Matte + Poreless Powder.

WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO APPLY MATTE FOUNDATION?

After primer, apply a small amount of foundation to the back of your hand. Using fingertips or a makeup sponge to apply a thin layer to your face starting from the inside and working your way out. Then, add a little more where you need extra coverage. Follow with concealer.
