Product description
A new genre of anti-shine make up. The transparent, balm-like Matte Touch stops your face looking oily, creating a shineless finish without using powder. This skin perfector contains Willow Bark Extract to calm & firm your skin as well as vitamins C, D & E to fight free radical ageing. It degreases the skin & works like a soft filler diminishing any visible pores. It's like a tiny portable airbrush & comes in the famous interlocking Jouer packaging so you can create your own portable pallets.
Why it's cult
Jouer cosmetics is a marriage of the convenient, where make up and skincare live happily ever after in a house built of the most ingenious packaging. Practical but sexy (oh so hard to find!) it is the little black dress of your beauty wardrobe and because it cares for the skin underneath the overall finish it gives is immaculate. If you suffer from shiny, oily skin or visible pores this post or pre-make up mattifying primer makes the problem go away.
Directions & ingredients for Jouer Cosmetics Essential Matte Touch
Directions
Use your finger or a brush to pat on the areas of your face that go shiny or have visible pores. This can be used under make up as a skin-smoothing primer or over it to prevent shine. While it looks whitish in the container, it applies completely clear and is suitable for all skin types. It doesn't build up and on my dry skin, never makes your skin feel oily or laden with product.
Active ingredients
Willow Bark Extract to calm & firm your skin as well as vitamins C, D & E.

Good make up base

By Tanya, , , Monmouthshire
I was expecting something more powdery to soak up the oil, but this is more of a primer, a smoothing resurfacing product. It makes applying make up evenly a doddle, and strangely my normal shine didn't appear half way through the day and there was no make up slippage.
Not impressed...

Either I am using this product in the wrong way, or it definitely does not suit me. In theory, it can be applied with your fingertips but I have not managed to do so. The product is brick solid and I cannot get it into my fingers easily. When applied, I feel a sort of oily film growing over my chin, which I would say it is the opposite of what it should be. I cannot recommend it.
