Luminous Skin—With Zero Effort

An illuminating primer for effortless—and frankly, enviable—radiance.

This is your shortcut to an astonishingly dewy base that still looks and feels like skin (if your skin was megawatt glowy and suspiciously well-rested). Perfect for dry, thirsty complexions, Very Glowy Primer is packed with hydrating heavyweights (hyaluronic acid and provitamin B5) and antioxidants (pomegranate extract) to nourish and replenish skin.

Your skincare finisher, makeup starter: This breathable, barely-there formula preps, supports, and perfects the skin. For a base that’s terrifically glowy; never greasy. Formulated with light-reflecting magic, radiance is seriously boosted while imperfections are seamlessly blurred. No creasing, no patchiness, just a silky soft-focus base and makeup that stays put. (As it should.)

Use daily to help makeup apply better, look better, and last longer. Or skip the makeup: Wear this primer on its own for a subtle radiance. Suitable for all skin types. Glowrious.

Formulated in South Korea. Fragrance-free. Not just a pretty base.

Why We Made A Primer

A solid skincare routine will do most of the heavy lifting when it comes to skin health and appearance, and foundations will give an incredible finish. But even with all that sorcery, your skin (Breakouty? Dehydrated? Dull? Oily?) will eventually remind you it exists. Primers solve that. Read More

    Fabulous product

    This primer is fantastic. Honestly nothing compares i told my daughter but unknown to me she had already purchased it and we cannot say enough about it. I'm 68 and its the best primer I have ever had. Everyone comments on my skin and its because my makeup just glides on and gives my skin a glow. So thankyou and congratulations on a great product.

    Lovely product…annoying pump!

    Whilst I love the primer and I always get compliments about my skin when I’m wearing it, I find I get very little use from it given its price tag and the pump is very glitchy. I had to take a recent purchase back to Mecca as the pump wouldn’t release the primer.

    Hey Ange! Thanks for your review. So thrilled to hear you (and your skin!) are loving the primer, but so sorry to hear the pump is being a pesky one for you. A few solid taps on the base using your palm usually does the trick. It just needs a bit of a nudge to get things flowing again!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

    This is such a beautiful primer. Feels amazing to wear and love the glow pop! I wear minimal makeup and this is perfect for me to wear on its own with a bit of concealer and lip gloss.

    Love the product, don’t love the pump and bottle

    The product is excellent, gives my foundation a fantastic base. I have dry skin and prefer natural finish so this give

    just enough dewyness underneath so the foundation doesn’t go all matte on me…

    But….can we talk packaging and amount of product please??? As others have said the pump is terrible - very Forrest Gump chocolate box (you never know what you’ll get!) and it seemed to empty very quickly —- but no idea how to tell if it is indeed empty as the opaque bottle makes it impossible to know if there is product left…or if it’s just the hokey pump. I had to buy another far more quickly than other primers of same size. A tube like the Ester Lauder primer would be SO much easier to deal with.

    Also you can’t take the top off to check -and the bottle seems very unfriendly for recycling..

    Love product, please rethink packaging!

    Hey Sid! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're so thrilled your skin is loving the Very Glowy Primer. So sorry the packaging is being a pesky one for you! A few firm taps on the bottom (against your palm) usually does the trick - it just needs a nudge to move the formula up the tube. If applying once per day, you can expect your primer to last around one to two months!

    Goes quick, bottle is frustrating

    Lovely primer but lasted 3 weeks of use. Bottle pump is difficult to use.
