Description

For instant luminosity, plus brightened, conditioned skin, meet Illuminating Primer. A multitasking makeup-skincare hybrid with a radiant, glass-skin finish, it's powered by antioxidant vitamin C to brighten and even out skin tone prior to foundation application. Skin-conditioning squalane and jojoba oil reduce the appearance of dark spots and fine lines while softening texture to ensure your smoothest foundation and concealer application ever. Ethically-sourced mica creates a pearlescent light-reflecting effect paired with sheer peachy tones to amplify skin's natural radiance for a vibrant lit-from-within glow. Luxuriously lightweight, this light-loving primer delivers seamless makeup application and extended weartime.

Suitable for all skin types, except oily or acneic.

Key Benefits:

  • Brightens + Corrects: Targeting uneven pigmentation and evening out tone with a subtle, sheer peach tone, antioxidants boost skin's brightness, enhancing your natural radiance.
  • Elevated Priming: Makeup applies seamlessly and stays in place for extended weartime while providing boosting brightening + illumination.
  • Conditions: Hydrating botanicals condition and smooth skin, creating a softer canvas.
  • Illuminates: Imparting instant radiance, ultra-fine minerals create a softly lit-from-within glow.

FAQs
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.

    Glowing

    Nice product. Feels great and gives you a nice radiant glow. Only downside is alot of the product is dispensed at once so I feel like alot is wasted as more product comes out then what is really needed.

    My face had a natural glow!

    This is my favorite of the four primers. The glow appeared immediately after applying and got even better when I finished with my Glo illuminating foundation! I wear this primer when I am headed out to dinner or meetings in the evening, love it! The glow lasted until I removed my makeup around 9pm or so in the evening. Now that is impressive!
