It’s exactly what it is, blurring and hydrating....I never believed in primers, and especially a blurring oil control primer because I’m a dry skin girlie however I took a chance on this primer because it also has hyaluronic acid and that meant it wouldn’t be as dry or stripping on my skin. ...Both of the primers are incredible but the cooling applicator and blurring yet still hydrating technology is what does it for me.

Luminous Primers

Yellow Primers
“This primer has made my skin come back to life. I loved Smashbox brand primers before but this one is my new fave”
