ADDICTION Silky Balm Stick
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.
