So hydrating but mattifying? It's a mousy texture that feels thick at first but then mattifies on the face. That thick texture i found is really good for cold harsh weather as well to protect skin. It works like a charm as a primer or on makeup no makeup days where I want my face to be blurred. It has a blurring tint to it that works well for my pale skin tone for a very light coverage.
