Pure Porefection: Stila’s Aqua Glow Perfecting Primer
This summer, we’re making sure to stuff our beauty bags with this new pore-perfecting primer stick ($28) from Stila. It expertly preps skin for makeup application while also soothing irritation, minimizing pores, evening out skin tone, and fighting free radicals. The best part is the cooling sensation it provides upon application, which makes it a wonderfully refreshing summer skin-saver when you’re on the go.
The stick is packed with a unique blend of beneficial ingredients, including lemon extract to fight signs of fatigue, Alaska glacial water to nourish and hydrate,snowflake extract to rejuvenate dull skin, and aloe extract to help repair damage caused by UV rays. Its cooling effect is also excellent for reducing under-eye bags and puffiness, and it calms inflammation with a powerful mix of snow drop, corn, pumpkin, broccoli, carrot and aloe extract. The formula is lightweight and non-greasy, and the stick applicator allows you to add only as much as you need.
It’s designed to be worn under makeup, and works beautifully with Stila’s Aqua Glow Perfecting Bronzer. But we’re currently obsessed with using it on its own — the cooling sensation is so divine, its hard not to apply it to problem spots over and over again. Plus, it leaves your skin with a really nice, naturally looking glow, one that’s perfect for makeup-free summer days (but don’t forget to wear SPF!).
