If you're after that glow that looks and feels effortless, you're in the right place. While good skincare lays the foundation for an even, radiant base, an illuminating primer can take it one step further—creating a smooth, light-reflecting canvas that helps your makeup glide on seamlessly.
These glow-boosting formulas do more than just hold your foundation in place. They hydrate, blur and add a soft luminosity that instantly lifts tired or lacklustre skin—whether worn under makeup or on their own. And with dewy skin still dominating everything from runways to GRWMs, they’ve become a go-to for those who want to revive their complexion without piling on the products.
