PRIME PERFECT 

The key to long-lasting makeup is a good primer, especially when trying to combat shine or creating a smooth base for your foundation. Perfect to keep in your makeup pouch for a full day out, Cezanne’s Make Retouch Base can be used under or over makeup, and works like oil blotting paper for an instant matte finish. Its skin-tightening ingredients such as mint water and menthol help to minimise the appearance of large pores, leaving you with flawless-looking skin from day till night.
