The other day my roommate said something horrifying: Dewy skin is out. It’s not (at least if you ask us or Martha Stewart), but here’s the thing: The Laura Geller Spackle Skin Perfecting Primer—an Oprah-used brand that caters specifically to dry, textured skin—uses its hydrating properties for good. Rather than leaving skin with a slick shine, shoppers with mature skin praise the product for nourishing flakey complexions, gliding across rough patches, and paving over fine lines and wrinkles. In fact, users say their skin tone looks so even under its lightweight layer of coverage that they can ditch any other makeup in favor of this one, pore-minimizing primer, with one claiming “You don’t even need foundation” when wearing it.
Considering its line of powder foundations that practically airbrush skin and celebrity endorsements from Bethenny Frankel and Fran Drescher, we had no doubt the primer would be a hit among shoppers with aging skin. Beyond that, if you decide to buff additional product on top of the primer, its makeup-gripping properties lock looks in place all day without the sticky, goopy texture. And, now is your last chance to get it for 54 percent off at Amazon before Memorial Day ends tonight.
Laura Geller Spackle Skin Perfecting Primer: Hydrate
The skin-softening primer is a double agent: It primes for makeup by surfacing the skin with an even coat of coverage while moisturizing it with dermatologist-approved ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and soothing plant-based extracts, including aloe leaf. Not only does the primer give users the appearance of glass skin, but one 64-year-old shopper, who calls the formula “liquid gold,” claims it evened out her rosacea-induced discoloration and redness.
Other reviewers recommend it for anyone who prefers the no-makeup-makeup, everyday look because it enhances your natural skin. One shopper, for instance, says they can “feel the tightening effect after my skin has a couple of minutes to absorb it.” And rather than clinging to textured areas or disguising skin under a globby blanket, your natural radiance shines through under the primer’s non-tacky formula (goodbye, cakey clumps). Even better, the luxurious consistency feels featherweight and silky—according to another shopper, it “melts into the skin like butter,” to apply seamlessly to any complexion.
Although it’s practically impossible to overdo this lightweight, serum-like formula, it dispenses neatly from a push-down pump applicator. It allows users to control how much primer they apply and never waste a single drop.
