Catrice Cosmetics Mattifying Primer — Extreme Blur Icy-Blue Gel, Hyaluronic Acid & Squalane for Instant Shine Control

Catrice Extreme Blur Mattifying Primer is a lightweight, cooling gel that visibly blurs pores and controls shine while hydrating with hyaluronic acid and squalane.

This primer combines a mattifying finish with skin-friendly hydrators to prep the complexion for makeup or a natural look. The icy-blue gel texture spreads easily, creating a softer visual skin surface and a refreshingly cool sensation on application. Designed for oily to combination skin but gentle enough for dryer zones, it balances oil control and moisture without alcohol, parabens, fragrance or microplastics.

How quickly will I notice the blurring and mattifying effect?

The gel formula delivers an immediate visual softening of pores and surface shine right after application. Results are visible instantly and continue to help reduce midday oiliness when used alone or under makeup.

• Instant mattifying finish that reduces surface sheen
• Blurs the look of pores and texture on contact
• Lightweight gel sinks in without leaving a greasy film

Can it hydrate and control oil at the same time?

Yes — the primer uses hyaluronic acid for hydration and squalane to support skin barrier balance while the mattifying agents absorb excess oil. The result is a non-greasy, comfortable wear that doesn't feel drying.

• Hyaluronic acid helps attract and retain moisture
• Squalane provides lightweight skin conditioning and a smooth feel
• Non-greasy formulation suitable for layering under makeup

Is it suitable for sensitive or animal-conscious shoppers?

Catrice Extreme Blur is formulated without alcohol, parabens, added fragrance or microplastic particles, and it is both vegan and certified cruelty-free by PETA. Its gentle ingredient profile reduces the risk of unnecessary irritation while aligning with ethical preferences.

• Vegan formulation with no animal-derived ingredients
• PETA-recognized cruelty-free brand assurance
• Free from common irritants like added fragrance and drying alcohol

How should I use this primer for best results?

Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, moisturized skin and smooth over zones where you want less shine and clearer texture. Let it set for a minute before applying foundation or powder, or wear it alone for a soft-focus, natural finish.

• Use sparingly — a little spreads widely on the face
• Allow a short settling time for optimal makeup adherence
• Reapply lightly to T-zone midday if needed to control shine

Who is this for: Catrice Extreme Blur Mattifying Primer is ideal for people with oily or combination skin seeking immediate shine control and a blurred complexion without heavy silicones or strong fragrances. It also suits anyone who wants a hydrating yet mattifying base for long-wearing makeup, and shoppers who prefer vegan, cruelty-free cosmetics formulated without parabens, alcohol, or microplastics.
