Product Description

A solid balm primer in stick form that melts on contact, transforming from a hydrating balm into a smooth, powdery finish. Blurs pores and uneven texture on application, creating a silky base that helps makeup grip and last. The format is genuinely clever: portable, mess free, no need for fingers or tools. Won Best Face Primer at the @cosme Best Cosmetics Awards 2025, which is remarkable for a niche Japanese brand competing against global primer heavyweights. ADDICTION is known for its minimalist Tokyo aesthetic and makeup artist pedigree (founded by AYAKO, one of Japan's most influential makeup artists). The US storefront has closed, but the brand remains widely available through Japanese retailers.

FAQ

How does a balm turn into a powder finish?
The stick is solid balm that melts on contact with skin, then transforms into a silky, powdery finish as it sets. It's a clever formula that gives you the hydration of a balm with the blurring, mattifying effect of a powder primer.
Is this worth the premium price?
If you want a portable, mess-free primer that doesn't require fingers or tools, yes. ADDICTION won Best Face Primer at @cosme 2025, beating global brands. The stick format and transformative texture are genuinely innovative, not just marketing.
