The primer imparts a white tint that blends (cast-free) into all skin tones. Be warned that it is heavily scented, so if you’re easily irritated by fragrances in cosmetics, you may want to steer clear of this primer. Honest Beauty’s Everything Primer is EWG (Environmental Working Group) Verified, which means it’s free from EWG’s known chemicals of concern and adheres to strict health standards. The clean formula employs micronized bamboo powder which creates a blurring, smoothing effect, and dries with a matte finish, making it a great option for blemish-prone skin.

Infused with both silk extracts and silk powder, this velvety balm makes your skin quite literally feel as smooth as silk. Ideal for all skin types, the multi-tasking formula (it can be used on eyes, lips, and face) helps to minimize shine and offers a soft-focus finish that blurs the look of imperfections and fine lines. It also contains pollution-fighting natural actives like camellia sinensis leaf extract meant to not only repair immediate damage but also strengthen the skin barrier to protect against future damage. Plus, it contains the brand’s signature Hadasei-3, a trinity of Japanese superfoods, green tea, rice, and algae – antioxidants that leave skin soft and radiant.

This silky, invisible gel mattifies skin and also helps smooth uneven skin texture, scars, and dry patches for up to 12 hours.
