How To Use It

So you can use the La Mer Hydrating Illuminator in a number of ways:

• Wear alone for a fresh-faced, natural radiance

I have been loving using this as a primer as I love the way it it makes my skin look and feel. You can see how it works as a primer in this Instagram video:

I find it super hydrating and smoothing, and it creates the perfect base for foundation. I also love it tapped onto the high points of my face for a really juicy glow and fresh looking skin. It’s all about that lit from within look, and I love that it’s packed with La Mer’s skincare ingredients.
