The winter light can be very harsh on our skin. We may feel that our skin has lost its luster and even looks a little grey reflecting the recent weather.
Here are my top 3 brightening primers which can be used alone on those non-makeup days or used under makeup to give an incredibly smooth and healthy glow.
These are not to replace your moisturiser; apply your moisturiser first and then apply your primer.
Bareminerals Vio-Lit Glow Primer 30ml
A blend of mineral pigments and a universally flattering violet hue to help illuminate any skin tone. This brightening formula and purple tone helps cancels out any yellowness in the skin, can help conceal very dark under-eye circles and dark spots on the skin. Get a lift and a glow from this fabulous primer.
This primer has:
1 – Flexi-Complex which allows the primer to move with the skin.
2 – Coconut Alkanes enhances the formula with soft feeling skin.
3 – Tri-Blend of Smoothing Pearls creates a soft focus effect on the skin.
4 – Mineral Based Violet Pigment which helps neutralise the appearance of dullness & sallowness.
