Despite my love for foundation, I find that it does have a tendency to suck the life out of my complexion. While some totally eradicate any hint of glow, others might cling to dry patches, crease or create an unwanted layer of oily sheen. Because of this, over the years, I have found it very difficult to achieve a perfect, seamless base with speed and ease.
That was until one day a few months ago, I started trialling a new skincare product. The minute I put it on, I realised that my skin felt smoother and looked perfected and glowing. And as I continued to use it every morning for the following few weeks, I noticed that my base went on like a dream. I didn’t find myself having to reach for powders or liquid highlight—it just looked glowing and healthy, first time, every time.
Intrigued, I found myself researching other glow-boosting makeup primers too. Unlike a traditional silicone-filled primer, priming moisturisers and serums sit firmly on the skincare side of things but have usually been formulated with makeup application in mind. They deliver skin-loving ingredients that boost moisture and glow but are also rich enough to create a seamless canvas for the makeup base of your choice (for this reason, I wouldn’t use them in place of my normal antioxidant or active serum, just as well as).
If you love the idea of fuss-free makeup application as much as I do, keep scrolling for the priming moisturisers that will totally revolutionise your makeup routine.
