Boosting Your Skin’s Radiance with Primer

Nov 17, 2015

Does your skin suffer from the winter blahs?  To give your skin’s brightness a boost, switch primers.

In the warmer months, I need to keep the oil at bay with NARS Pro Prime.  For the winter, I traded it in for Laura Mercier’s Radiance Primer.  It gives my skin a lit-from-within glow.  When I’m exhausted, my skin looks well-rested and hydrated.  Even after I apply powder. 

To see the results, several beauty bloggers have before-and-afters to show you the brightening effects.  It’s a light radiance, but enough to make a difference.

Need a drugstore dupe?  The Interwebs recommend Revlon Skinlights in Peach or L’Oreal Magic Lumi.

    I have the radiance primer from Laura but only used it for evening. Do you think it’s ok for office wear?

    Primer is an absolute must for me – in all temperatures and seasons! In fact, I find that sometimes wearing primer alone is enough to help keep shine at bay, even if I don’t wear anything else.

    After experimenting with a few samples from Sephora, I just purchased the Too Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer, and it’s really helping my extremely dry skin look refreshed and dewy!

    Does anyone have any suggestions for a good nighttime moisturizer to use in the winter? Preferably under $30 please. Thanks!

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
