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.

Key Ingredients:

  • Vitamin C: A powerhouse antioxidant to brighten and even skin tone.
  • Squalane + jojoba seed oil: Soothing skin conditioners target dark spots and fine lines, while softening texture.
  • Ethically-sourced mica: Light-reflecting pearlescent minerals create instant luminosity.

Dispense a pea size amount onto clean fingertips or back of hand, then swatch onto skin. Can be applied to full face or used to target areas in need of extra radiance and glow. Blend with fingertips or your favorite Glo Skin Beauty complexion tool.

Apply after your serum, moisturizer, and SPF, prior to foundation to add radiance and for a more built-out look with longer-lasting coverage.

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.
