Designer Brands Rise & Prime Luminescent Primer

A good base starts with a good primer. DB's new primer is designed to provide a smooth, glowing base, leaving your skin flawless and ready for foundation. This formula uses peach and gold light diffusing pigments to even out your skin tone and give a gorgeous 'lit from within' glow. Packed with skin loving ingredients like Green Tea, Aloe Vera and Vitamins A, C & E, the Rise & Prime Luminescent Primer evens the skin tone and encourages skin cell renewal. On top of all of that, it also hydrates and plumps the skin as well. I was immediately excited about this because the colour and texture is very similar to the Mecca Lit From Within primer, but less than half the price. It's a little bit thinner in texture, but I'd almost say that it is a perfect dupe for the Mecca one. I have been loving how well this sits on my skin, it is hydrating and illuminating, but not shimmery like many illuminating products I have used previously. I also like that because of the subtle pigments it evens out the skin tone ever so slightly, making it the perfect skin base.  This has quickly become my favourite primer. If you have dry skin and are looking for a hydrating primer, or even if you have any skin type and are looking for a way to illuminate your skin, then I highly recommend this primer. Use it by itself for a 'no make up' look, or wear it under your favourite foundation. Costing just $19.99, it feels like a high end primer but for a fraction of the price tag.
