If there's one thing I've learned from years of chasing a dewy, radiant complexion, it's that the right primer can completely transform your skin.
After testing pretty much all the primers out there, I can safely say that the one I swear by is Vieve's Skin Nova.
Created by beauty mogul Jamie Genevieve, this isn't just any primer. It's a skin-enhancing, glow-boosting powerhouse that elevates my complexion in an instant.
Designed to blur imperfections, hydrate, and boost radiance, it's quickly become my go-to for days when my skin needs a lift (read: most of them).
Formulated with niacinamide to brighten and smooth, and beta-glucan to calm and hydrate, Skin Nova leaves skin soft and glowing. Light-reflecting pigments create a lit-from-within finish, while the breathable formula grips makeup for flawless wear that lasts. Wear it alone for a natural, dewy glow or layer under your favourite foundation for extra radiance. Buy Now for £31 at space nk
From the moment I applied Vieve Skin Nova, I knew this was going to be a staple in my makeup bag.
With a lightweight, silky gel-like texture, it glides on effortlessly, leaving behind a subtle glow (no harsh glitter chunks here!) More Trending
It doesn't sit on top of the skin like many primers do either, and it feels like it's actually enhancing my skin's natural radiance rather than acting like a mask.
The best part? It doesn't leave my skin feeling heavy or greasy, which I am prone to in my T-Zone.
Vegan, cruelty-free and fragrance-free, the Vieve Skin Nova primer is a skincare hybrid. Formulated with niacinamide to strengthen the skin barrier plus, beta-glucan and rose water to soothe and comfort skin.
So, not only does it make your skin look amazing, but it's also actually working to improve the health of your skin as you wear it. What's not to love?
