Does this have a scent?
Our Brilliant Face Brightener Illuminating Primer is synthetic fragrance-free. It has a very light naturally-derived scent from our purposeful plant oils, like juniper berry oil and mandarin orange peel oil!
Is this non-comedogenic? Will this work with acne-prone/dry/oily skin?
We formulated our Brilliant Face Brightener Primer for all skin types: dry, normal, combination and oily. It’s made with hydrating and nourishing ingredients, but is weightless, does not clog pores, and has oil-controlling and toning properties for acne-prone skin day for a perfect radiant finish, thanks to its key ingredients:
- MCT Oil (Caprylic Triglyceride) rapidly absorbs into the skin to nourish and moisturize with skin-smoothing fatty acids known to prevent clogged pores.
- African Whitewood Extract regulates excess sebum production, shrinks the look of pores and tightens skin.
-
Juniper Berry Oil naturally tones your complexion and helps control oil all day long, making it ideal for blemish-prone skin.
How long will my makeup last using this?
Our Brilliant Face Brightener Illuminating Primer is proven to keep your makeup flawless for up to 16 hours! It creates a smoothing, blurring, a makeup-gripping canvas that hydrates skin and controls oil to keep your look fresh and glowy all day.
Will my skin look matte or dewy when using this?
Our Brilliant Face Brightener Primer creates a healthy and dewy glow while enhancing and prolonging makeup wear. Immediately after application, you’ll notice a beautiful radiant finish that is non-greasy.
Can I use this without foundation/CC Cream?
Absolutely! On no-makeup days, we recommend applying Brilliant Face Brightener Primer, concentrating on the high points of your face, like your cheekbones and the bridge of your nose for a natural-looking dewy glow. Because our primer is formulated with hydrating and brightening skin-loving ingredients like Bioactive Defense Complex™ and Licorice Root Extract, your skin will love you for wearing it with or without makeup!
Should this be applied under or over sunscreen?
The Brilliant Face Brightener™ Illuminating Primer would be the next step after you've completed all your skincare (including your sunscreen!) but before applying any foundation or concealer.
Will this feel sticky or tacky on the skin?
Definitely not! Our Brilliant Face Brightener Illuminating Primer has a serum-like liquid texture that rapidly absorbs, leaving your skin feeling hydrated, radiant and healthy.
What is the difference between Brilliant Face Brightener Illuminating Primer + Filtered Effects Blurring Primer? Do I need both primers?
Our Brilliant Face Brightener Illuminating Primer rapidly brightens skin with light-reflecting smart pigments, reducing dullness, and the look of dark spots and discoloration over time. Our Filtered Effects Blurring Primer creates a velvety smooth finish that transforms the overall appearance of skin texture and smoothes the look of fine lines and wrinkles immediately upon application and over time.
We recommend using our Filtered Effects Blurring Primer if you desire a skin-perfecting, smoothing, velvet matte finish. If you desire a radiant, lit-from-within, glowy finish, we recommend our Brilliant Face Brightener Illuminating Primer. Both will prolong the life of your makeup look for up to 16 hours and can be used at the same time! If you’re using both products together, we recommend applying our Filtered Effects Primer to your T-zone or anywhere you have texture to smooth and mattify. You can apply Brilliant Face Brightener Primer to the high points of your face, like your cheekbones + bridge of your nose for a natural-looking dewy glow wherever you want to add radiance.
