This cream to powder not only eliminates shine and controls sebum but also primes the skin, leaving it with a perfectly smooth surface for the application of any of the mineral bases. Absence keeps color true by forming an attraction barrier between the skin and makeup so that makeup can stay on longer, and skin stays shine-free. Absence doesn't just absorb oil the way most oil-control products do, but actually helps to control
over-active sebaceous glands. It has no effect on the actual moisture of the skin. The seaweed
content in this product also helps to regulate the pH balance of the skin. You have to try this to believe it! It also has an SPF 15.
Though it looks white (absence) or tan (absence 2) in the compact, it is transparent on the skin and is suitable for all skin types as a primer before
applying the bases. It should be part of the daily routine of acne sufferers. Absence can be used with any of the Jane Iredale bases.
It is available in two shades:
Absence (light)
Absence 2 (tan)
