Primed and Ready With Skin Functional
“Whether you’re looking for hydration, illumination, mattification, or protection, this new range ensures your skin is prepped, perfected, and primed for any makeup look,” – Shannon Dougall, Founder of SKIN functional.

Hydra Splash Primer
For a plump, hydrated finish, this refreshing, clear jelly primer envelopes the skin to create an even, silky base. Packed with potent humectants, this formula boosts hydration and minimises dry, flaky patches for smoother, longer-lasting makeup. Expect a naturally plump, dewy finish that looks fresh all day. This primer offers skincare benefits such as:
- Niacinamide improves the skin barrier, elasticity, and resilience, and also includes anti-inflammatory, skin brightening, and anti-ageing properties.
- Polyglutamic acid for long-lasting moisturisation and humectancy, promoting skin protection against environmental aggression while increasing skin elasticity.
- Trimethylglycine, which highly purified sugar beet extract, protects against dehydration and protein denaturation. Strong water binding properties to increase Stratum Corneum moisture content, strengthen skin barrier, and regulate cell water balance.
Illumination Glow Primer
Awaken dull, tired skin instantly with this illuminating primer that glides on effortlessly to deliver hydration and radiance.
With Orange Fruit Extract to energize and Sodium Hyaluronate for deep moisturising, skin looks visibly brighter, smoother, and more alive—your shortcut to a lit-from-within glow. Expect ingredients such as:

Perfection Primer
A transparent gel base that blurs imperfections while mattifying the skin, this primer is your ticket to a poreless, airbrushed look. Ideal for all skin types seeking smoother makeup application and improved hold without greasiness.
This perfecting primer includes Silica, which is an opaque and absorbent powder that maintains a mattifying effect and manages sebum production, with the key ingredient being Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract for hydrating, soothing, and cooling benefits.
