FAQs
Can you layer different types of primers?

Our Solution Primers can be layered in moderation. Rather than layering on top of each other, you can also do the Block Priming method where you zone primers to specific areas of the face such as Hydrating Primer for dry skin and Illuminating Primer to add luminosity to high points of the face. This way you can mix and match your primers to meet specific concerns like excess oil, breakouts, dryness, and so on, for truly customized complexion perfection.

How long should I wait to apply Hydrating Primer after moisturizer?

Wait 5-10 min for your moisturizer to absorb into skin, then apply Hydrating Primer.

Is this primer good for someone with oily skin?

All skin types in need of a hydrating pick-me-up can use Hydrating Primer, even oily skin. The perfect hydrating primer for dry skin, it delivers hyaluronic acid and moisture-laden botanicals in a lightweight formulation that cools and cushions skin. As shine is also a concern for oily skin types, you can apply Hydrating Primer on any dry patches and Mattifying Primer on any shiny areas.

Should dry skin use primer?

All skin types can benefit from using a primer to boost makeup longevity, the trick is to find a formulation that targets your skin concerns. If you’re looking for the right makeup primer for dry skin, opt for a primer that includes hydrating, cushioning benefits, like Hydrating Primer for a dewy finish. If you’re also looking to create a brighter, glowing effect, try adding Illuminating Primer too.

Is hydrating primer the same as moisturizer?

Hydrating Primer and a moisturizer are two different products. Hydrating Primer is a multitasking makeup-skincare hybrid with a radiant dewy finish. It creates a hydrated, smoother makeup canvas, priming skin to ensure that foundations and concealers apply evenly without clinging or caking, and stays in place for longer. A moisturizer is a skincare product that seals the skin, locking in moisture and nutrients, conditioning and cushioning the skin. Apply your full skincare routine—finishing with your moisturizer and SPF (for day), then apply Hydrating Primer to prep your complexion for your makeup application.

Can you wear this primer by itself?

For a natural, fresh-faced “dewy primer” look, Hydrating Primer delivers all that plus an added layer of hydration. Wear it solo for an even complexion, topped with concealer to create a more smoothed, color-corrected effect, or for a more built-out look, topped with your favorite foundation.

    Preferred previous primer

    I purchased the hydrating primer in the grey tube when the original face primer in a black tube was no longer available. My liquid foundation does not glide over this hydrating primer like the previous version. Especially concerning in the under eye area. I am 69 years old now and had always thought I should have started using the original face primer when I was younger.
