The Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Primer is not billed specifically as a moisturizing primer -- in fact, it does add a matte glow to your complexion -- but you'll find it's actually quite hydrating as well. It helps extend the wear of your makeup without drying your skin, and honestly, it really doesn't get better than that stylish frosted glass and millennial pink cap.
At $7.99, it's certainly hard to go wrong -- and a low price point isn't all this superstar moisturizing primer has going for it. It also happens to have a light, oil-free formula that's boosted with botanical ingredients like chamomile, green tea and ginseng root to help increase your glow factor.
If you haven't heard of Red Earth before, it's definitely a cool new indie brand worth checking out. Their Bye Bye Dry Moisturizing Face Primer is so lovely to use -- it's got a pleasantly light fragrance, and a thin texture that soaks up near immediately, leaving you with a flawless, moisturized canvas to apply your makeup over.
Fans of the brand know that Marc Jacobs Beauty can do no wrong -- and their Under(cover) Perfecting Coconut Face Primer certainly is no exception. The richly moisturizing texture is so comfortable, and the subtle glow is basically perfection. A little goes a long way, so it'll last a long time, and it dries down without leaving any stickiness. And come on, it smells like coconuts!
The Stila Aqua Glow Perfecting Primer is quite novel: It comes in stick form, which makes it a convenient pick. The pale blue formula is cooling and refreshing, and it's packed with soothing ingredients like Alaskan glacial water, snow drop, aloe and lemon extracts.
