NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Marshmellow Smoothing Primer — Vegan, Silicone‑Free Face Primer for Soft‑Focus Skin

NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Marshmellow Smoothing Primer is a 100% vegan, silicone‑free face primer that smooths texture, blurs fine lines, evens skin tone and extends makeup wear with a marshmallow root–infused formula.

Lightweight and non‑comedogenic, this primer creates a soft, even canvas so foundation and concealer apply and sit more evenly. Designed to deliver ten visible benefits—from hydration and soothing to a soft‑focus finish—this product aims to improve makeup longevity without silicones or animal testing. Its marshmallow root extract helps give the surface of skin a pillowy feel while makeup stays fresh longer.

How does this primer prepare skin for foundation?

The primer fills in uneven texture and blurs fine lines so liquids, creams, and powders glide on more evenly. It creates a uniform base that reduces patchiness and helps color products adhere consistently across the face.

• Smoothes and softens skin surface for easier application
• Minimizes visible texture and blurs pores and lines
• Helps foundation apply with less streaking or settling

Which skin concerns does it address during the day?

Beyond a better foundation fit, this primer hydrates and soothes while controlling the look of uneven tone and texture. It aims to keep makeup looking freshly applied by reducing shine and preventing early breakdown of pigments.

• Hydrates to prevent dry patchiness
• Soothes to calm the complexion under makeup
• Extends wear so makeup resists fading and shifting

What makes the formula different from other primers?

NYX’s Marshmellow primer is silicone‑free and fully vegan, yet still produces a soft‑focus effect without silicone smoothing agents. It’s non‑comedogenic and dermatologist‑tested, using marshmallow root extract to achieve a cushiony feel rather than relying on heavy silicones.

• 100% vegan, cruelty‑free and PETA‑acknowledged brand
• Silicone‑free texture for lighter, breathable coverage
• Dermatologist tested and non‑comedogenic for everyday use

How should I use it for best results?

Apply a pea‑sized amount to cleansed, toned skin before foundation. Gently pat or smooth the primer into areas where texture or lines are most visible, then let it set briefly before layering color makeup.

• Start with clean, moisturized skin for even application
• Use sparingly—target T‑zone, cheeks, or fine‑line areas
• Wait a few seconds for the primer to settle before foundation

Who is this for: This primer suits anyone wanting a lighter, vegan alternative to silicone‑based bases—ideal for people seeking smoother application, subtle blurring, and longer makeup wear without added silicones or animal testing. It works well for most skin types, especially those wanting to reduce visible texture, hydrate under makeup, or extend their look through the day.
