LUMINOUS PRIMER ELF SKIN

When selecting the right primer for you, there are two formulas to consider. Some can also provide an extra layer of moisture. One of the most common reasons to apply a primer is to help makeup stay put longer (particularly useful during hot weather when it has a habit of sliding right off). It can be a particularly useful product for brightening ageing skin, giving you a bit of extra confidence on non-makeup days too. An illuminating primer takes things one step further, adding more of a radiant glow with the clever use of subtle luminescent particles.
