YSL NU Glow In Balm Face Priming Moisturizer
“This lightweight facial primer moisturizes skin with a non-comedogenic oil-in-water formula that nourishes without clogging pores. Infused with light-reflecting pearls and potent illuminating rose extract, it leaves skin radiant and prepped for seamless makeup application.”
The YSL NU Glow In Balm Face Priming Moisturizer is $36 and contains 1.35 oz/40 mL, and is packaged within a monochrome, squeezy plastic tube.
The packaging is the same as the tone corrector, except it’s black with white writing, but they’re more travel-friendly than their other primers housed within glass bottles.
This primer moisturiser is said to be 24 hour priming moisturizer with shea butter and vegetal glycerin to achieve a glowy skin look with or without makeup.
Key Ingredients
- Shea Butter: Known to help to soften and soothe skin
- Glycerin: Known to help trap moisture and hydrate skin
Directions
- Wear alone on bare skin as your daily moisturizer, or apply this illuminating primer after your skincare routine as a makeup primer and continue with your normal face makeup routine.
- Yves Saint Laurent recommends pairing with the Bare Look Tint Foundation (sold separately) for a fresh, healthy-looking complexion.
Looking at the above photo, the YSL NU Glow In Balm Face Priming Moisturizer looks very glowy, so it looks like it could be a primer for drier skin types.
I love a good glowy primer, so it’s a primer I’d like to try myself, as I’ve never been disappointed by any of the YSL face primers I’ve tried, and it’s available right here.
