A weightless, silicone-free, gel primer enriched with ultra-fine pearls for a lit-from-within glow.



This silicone-free, water-based gel primer cools upon contact while it smooths, hydrates, and illuminates.
The weightless formula is infused with ultra-fine pearls for instant radiance. Containing a botanical blend of lotus, gardenia, and white waterlily, it helps to soothe and calm stressed-out skin.

Directions

Apply one or two pumps of primer to clean, moisturized skin before foundation or concealer for best results.



This primer was formulated to create the perfect canvas for our Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation (sold separately).
It helps to plump and smooth the appearance of surface texture with hydration and ultra-fine pearls to reflect light, instantly creating a more even tone.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Mixed feelings I have mixed opinions on this and have realised it completely depends on what I’m using it with. Sometimes it looks way too glittery and makes my foundation very chalky. Other times it wears beautifully and give a lovely glow

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I recommend! It brings such an amazing glow to my face! It is made of tiny little glitters you can barely see and it looks lovely. The texture is great too, not heavy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Shimmery and Smooth This is my favourite primer. I get so many compliments on it from my friends. It is shimmery and smooth. I will continue to purchase this especially because you don't need to use much more than one small pump per day. Great coverage!
