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.
The Erborian Pink Perfect Créme helps blur imperfections, while also creating a plump, hydrated complexion. Think of it like your own personal filter -- you might even feel tempted to skip your foundation.
So gentle and so hydrating -- you'll love this one. It's simple, and it gets the job done -- in fact, it almost feels more like a lightweight moisturizer than a traditional primer, but it leaves your skin silky and primed for your next makeup step. Plus, its pale pink appearance and pleasant fragrance make it feel like a luxe treat.
FAB Coconut Skin Smoothie Priming Moisturizer, $28
"Skin Smoothie" sounds about right -- this primer has a creamy, smoothie-like texture that delivers a major dosage of hydration right to your complexion. It feels so soothing, and the hydration factor is nothing to sneeze at.
Here's a real jack-of-all-trades: the Jose Maran Argan Moonstone Priming and Highlighting Oil can do just about anything it sets its mind to. You shake it, then apply a drop or two -- and the results are instantaneous. Your skin drinks up the nourishing oil, and the gorgeous radiance pearls add a subtle, lit-from-within glow. You'll also love the fresh, herbal scent.
