Quick Answer

Start with clean, moisturized skin. Apply a pea-sized amount of SunBlur Primer evenly across your face, focusing on the T-zone. Let it set for 60 seconds before applying foundation. The SPF 50 and mattifying finish create a smooth, shine-free base that helps makeup last up to 8 hours.

Why SunBlur Primer Works Under Makeup

SunBlur Primer is a lightweight, invisible sunscreen primer with SPF 50 that smooths and mattifies while helping grip makeup for a shine-free, all-day hold. It acts as a mattifying primer to help control shine and helps blur the look of pores and imperfections for a smoothing, soft-focus effect. Unlike some SPF products that feel greasy under foundation, this one dries down to a velvety finish that won't pill or slide.

Step-by-Step SunBlur Primer Application

  1. Step 1: Start with Clean, Moisturized Skin: Wash your face and apply your regular moisturizer. Wait 2 minutes for it to fully absorb. SunBlur Primer works best on a dry, prepped canvas. Common mistake: applying primer on damp skin can cause pilling. Always let moisturizer sink in first.
  2. Step 2: Dispense a Pea-Sized Amount: Squeeze a pea-sized drop onto your fingertips. A little goes a long way—using too much can make foundation slide or look cakey. Checkpoint: if you need more than a pea for your whole face, you might be over-applying. Start small and add only to areas that need extra blurring.
  3. Step 3: Dot and Blend Evenly: Dot the primer onto your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. Using your fingertips, blend outward in light, sweeping motions. Focus extra product on your T-zone and areas with visible pores. Common mistake: rubbing in circles can disturb the primer's film-forming properties. Use gentle outward strokes instead.
  4. Step 4: Wait 60 Seconds Before Foundation: Let the primer set for about 60 seconds. It should feel almost dry to the touch, not tacky. This pause allows the SPF to settle and the mattifying ingredients to activate. Checkpoint: if your skin still feels sticky after 60 seconds, you may have used too much. Blot lightly with a tissue before applying foundation.
  5. Step 5: Apply Foundation with a Damp Sponge or Brush: Use a damp makeup sponge or a flat foundation brush to apply your foundation in light, tapping motions. Avoid dragging or buffing aggressively, which can disturb the primer layer. Common mistake: using a heavy hand or a dense brush can push the primer around and reduce its pore-blurring effect. Tap, don't rub.
