OK, you can't have a round-up of primers without including one from Smashbox, right? The Smashbox Photo Finish Primerizer is the perfect primer/moisturizer hybrid: It's a lightweight cream packed with complexion-boosting hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. And though it's quite hydrating, it quickly dries down to a silky texture.
This moisturizing primer is closer to a serum than your standard primer. Don't fear, though; it still performs very well. It's thin and slightly viscous, and in the packaging, it's quite beautiful -- pale gold with tiny gold flecks and bubbles suspended throughout. It adds a weightless supershot of hydration to your complexion, boosting glow and plumpness as it goes.
Looking to kick dry skin to the curb for good? You've found your new partner in crime. The Hourglass No 28 Primer Serum feels like a rich oil, and it glides over your face, leaving it extra dewy. Makeup applies like a dream over it, and its hydrating effects last all day. Another bonus? It smells absolutely amazing.
The Natasha Denona Face Glow Primer Hydrating Underbase creates plump, dewy complexions for all -- no matter how dry your skin happens to be. It helps construct a smooth canvas, and it adds a healthy, picture-perfect glow.
