Effortlessly lightweight, this illuminating makeup primer imparts instant radiance while brightening, color-correcting, and smoothing skin with vitamin C and squalane for more even, glowing skin and extended makeup weartime.

Pairs With:

Hydra-Bright Alpha Arbutin Drops are clinically proven to brighten and even out skin tone, making them the perfect radiance-boosting skin prep ahead of Illuminating Primer.
Use Hydra-Bright AHA Hydrator for instant luminosity while also brightening and conditioning skin.
Luminous Liquid Foundation features light-diffusing diamond powder, making it a great pairing with Illuminating Primer for elevated radiance.
Luminous Setting Powder puts the perfect finishing touch to your look for even longer-wearing luminosity.

Pro Tip: This multitasking primer can also be used as a mixing medium with liquid foundation. Mix a pea-size amount into liquid foundation to sheer out the foundation and add luminescence to the skin. Try mixing it in with your cream blush and even your lip gloss too. Post foundation application, apply a small amount to high-points of the face for a radiant highlight.

Can I layer different types of primers?

Our Solution Primers can be layered in moderation. Rather than layering on top of each other, you can also do the Block Priming method where you zone primers to specific areas of the face such as Illuminating Primer for high points of the face and Hydrating Primer on any dry patches. This way you can mix and match your primers to meet specific concerns like excess oil, breakouts, dryness, and so on, for truly customized complexion perfection.

How long should I wait to apply Illuminating Primer after moisturizer?

Wait 5-10 min for your moisturizer to absorb into skin, then apply Illuminating Primer.

Is this glowy primer good for someone with oily skin?

If shine or excess oil is a concern for you and you’re looking to mattify your skin, Mattifying Primer or Oil-Free Tinted Primer will be your go-to primer options. If you’re looking for a glowy primer to add a dewy finish to your skin, Illuminating Primer is the perfect pick.

What does Vitamin C primer do?

As a vitamin C primer, Illuminating Primer helps to even out skin tone and texture, brightening and protecting skin from environmental stressors, while the addition of ethically-sourced mica gives an instant luminosity and dewy sparkle-free finish.

Can you use Illuminating Primer on its own?

Yes, if you want to create a glowy skin effect you can wear Illuminating Primer solo, or add concealer for a more even, color-corrected effect. For a more built-out look add foundation. You can also dab a little Illuminating Primer on high points of face for a highlighted effect.
