It’s incredibly rare that a primer makes it’s way onto this little corner of the interwebs. My skin holds a base fairly well throughout the day, so I don’t feel the need to use them every single day for that purpose. Saying that, I’d been meaning to try out an illuminating primer for a while now (my winter skin is forever lacking in the lustre department), and was weighing up splashing out on the Laura Mercier or Kevyn Aucoin offerings when I saw Anna’s post on the Dior Glow Maximizer Light Boosting Primer.
Needless to say it was bumped to the top of my wish list – I swear that girl could sell me ice during an ice age… But there’s a reason for that. The review was spot on and it was exactly what I’ve been looking for – a primer with some serious glow. There’s nothing subtle about this one. It packs so much glow that not only can I use it as a primer, but a highlighter too. Most days I tend to layer it on under tinted moisturisers, or mix it in with heavier coverage foundations to balance things out a little.
I’m wearing it mixed with the YSL Youth Liberator above, but this morning I found out that it works best with the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk out of all my foundations. Out of all my tinted moisturisers it works best with the Laura Mercier Oil Free Tinted Moisturiser, giving the freshest and healthiest looking skin I’ve ever seen – even people at work noticed! On the odd day where I need a little extra glow on top, I pop a tiny amount onto the back of my hand and tap it over the high points of my face with my fingers.
And the best bit? No greasy or silicone feel, no glitter, just some serious glow. Did I mention I like it?
This sounds so amazing! Not really that into primers, but i love the idea of the ones that make your face look nice and 'glowy' 🙂

I'm always skeptical about primers, they never seem to actually do anything for me! Although, Dior is my favourite brand so I may have to give this little wonder a test x

I'm usually not a fan of primers because they either break me out or make me look like an oil slick. I have to admit I haven't tried many of them because I pretty much figured they would all have the same effect. I'm not prepared to spend this much on a primer but maybe I can get a sample somewhere and see what gives. It looks great on you, that's for sure.
definitely need to try this, it sounds amazing!

Sounds gorgeous 🙂 I'm always wary of illuminators because I have oily skin and I don't like to make it look even worse! But the non-greasy formula could have me sold on this 🙂

Seems gorgeous, wondering if this would work if you had oily skin because it's glowy? Look amazing on you though xxx

I've found my ideal primer a couple of months ago when I let the lady at the Laura Mercier counter talk me into theirs. I love how smooth the gel formula makes my foundation look and feel. This Dior primer sounds very promising and it looks great on you! xx

Sounds rather spectacular! I'm not into primers but this sounds amazing! I'm all for getting my glow on! Have you tried the Josie Maran Argan Oil Illuminizer? It's absolutely gorgeous mixed in with foundation or tinted moisturisers. Fab post! x

I picked this up when the spring collection first launched as well and it's lovely! It doesn't make me look too oily either which is always a problem I have, since I have oily skin.
