Award-winning go-to primer creates a smooth, even surface for flawless makeup application. The formula provides a soft-focus optics effect to help minimize the look of pores, fine lines, and imperfections. Prepares for and perfects makeup application Like all Laura Mercier™ Primers, it creates a perfectly smooth, even surface for applying foundation. It helps makeup glide on easily and last longer, so your look stays fresh and colour-true for hours. Why Laura's primers are different Unlike traditional primers that are overloaded with silicone smoothers, Laura Mercier™ Primers are water-based and include a minimal concentration of the lightest silicones. That's why they feel fresh and lightweight, and why they work as well as they do. In addition, they create an invisible "buffer" for your skin, with an antioxidant vitamin complex that helps protect skin against harmful, aging effects of the environment. Natural Finish Our most universal primer, it gives skin a natural finish, with invisible coverage. The lightweight, creamy, water-based gel is ideal for all skin types. How to use: Apply on clean skin, or after your moisturizer or sunscreen. Gently massage primer into skin’s surface with fingertips. Follow with Tinted Moisturizer, Foundation, or Concealer. PRO TIP Place in the refrigerator before use. The coolness will refresh your skin and help reduce visible puffiness.
