A hydrating primer that creates a smooth, luminous canvas for makeup. Formulated for a "lit-from-within" glow, this base helps foundation adhere better and last longer, making it a perfect prep step for the Mauritian climate where makeup can easily fade or look dull.

Struggling with makeup that looks dry, cakey, or lacks radiance? This primer is designed to solve that. It creates a hydrated, subtly glowing base that helps your foundation glide on smoothly and stay put.

• Best For: Normal, Combination, and Dry skin types.
• Key Benefits: Boosts skin's glow, improves makeup longevity, hydrates without feeling heavy, and smooths skin texture.
• Finish: Natural, dewy radiance with a subtle shimmer from gold particles.
• What to Expect: Immediately, skin looks more luminous and feels hydrated. Makeup applies more evenly and has a radiant finish. With consistent use, you'll notice makeup wears better throughout the day.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean face.
2. THIS PRODUCT (Glow On Base): Apply 1-2 pumps evenly. Wait 1-2 minutes for it to set.
3. Sunscreen & Makeup: Apply your daily sunscreen, followed by foundation or BB cream.

Mindful Tip: Already own a primer? Finish that bottle first to prevent waste. This product is a substitute for your current primer step, not an addition.

This primer is the bridge between your skincare and makeup routine.

• Step 1: Cleanser — Gently wash your face.
• Step 2: Toner/Serum (Optional) — Apply any lightweight hydrating serums. Let them absorb for 30-60 seconds.
• Step 3: Moisturiser — Apply a light moisturiser if your skin is dry. Let it absorb.
• Step 4: THIS PRODUCT (Glow On Base) — Apply 1-2 pumps as your priming step. Wait 1-2 minutes.
• Step 5: Sunscreen — This is crucial. Apply your SPF 30+ and wait another 1-2 minutes.
• Step 6: Makeup — Proceed with foundation, cushion, or BB cream.

Daily Use — AM Only:

• Amount: 1-2 pumps for the entire face. Using too much can cause pilling.
• Apply to: A clean, moisturised face.
• Method: Dispense onto your fingertips and gently smooth over the skin, from the center of the face outwards. Pat lightly to finish.
• Wait Times: Crucial for performance. Wait a full 1-2 minutes for the primer to set before applying sunscreen or foundation. This prevents pilling.

Makeup Tips (No Pilling):

• Less is More: Start with one pump. You only need a thin layer.
• Patience is Key: Ensure your moisturiser is fully absorbed before applying the primer, and that the primer is fully set before applying makeup. Rushing is the main cause of pilling.
• Pat, Don't Rub: When applying foundation over the primer, use a patting or stippling motion with a sponge or brush instead of rubbing, which can disturb the base layer.
• Mix it In: For a dewier finish, you can mix a small drop of this base with a matte or dry-textured foundation before application.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and consult a professional. Patch testing before first use is recommended.

• Daily (AM): Use as the final step of your skincare routine, right before sunscreen and makeup. It is gentle enough for daily use.
• Frequency: Use every morning you plan to wear makeup for best results.

Mauritius Note: On very humid summer days, if you have combination or oily skin, you might find this is hydrating enough to use in place of a light moisturiser under your sunscreen.

• Immediately: Skin appears visibly brighter, with a subtle, healthy glow. It feels hydrated and smooth, creating an ideal canvas for makeup.
• After 2-4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, you may notice your makeup applies more smoothly and wears better throughout the day. Your skin may feel more balanced and hydrated.
• After 8+ Weeks: The long-term benefits are primarily related to improved makeup application and wear. Consistent hydration from the base can contribute to overall skin plumpness and health.

• Works Well With: Most water-based or silicone-based foundations, BB creams, and cushions. It layers beautifully over hydrating serums (like hyaluronic acid) and light moisturisers.
• Use Carefully With: Very oil-heavy moisturisers or facial oils applied right before. Allow any oils to fully absorb to prevent the primer from slipping. If your sunscreen is very thick or has a matte, powdery finish, apply the primer first and let it set completely to avoid pilling.
• Avoid On: This is a pre-makeup base and should not be used as the final step of a nighttime routine.

• Excellent For:
  • Dry Skin: Provides a much-needed boost of hydration and oil to prevent makeup from looking flaky or clinging to dry patches.
  • Normal Skin: Creates a beautiful, healthy glow.
  • Dehydrated Skin: The hydrating formula helps plump the skin, making foundation look smoother.
• Use With Caution:
  • Oily & Combination Skin: This "Oil Volume" version can be too dewy for very oily skin types, especially in Mauritius' humidity. It might be better suited for evening use or during cooler, drier months. Consider the "Hydra" version for a lighter feel.
  • Acne-Prone Skin: While not highly comedogenic, the oil content may be a concern for some. A user review noted new spots appearing, though the cause was uncertain. Patch testing is advised.

• Dullness Under Makeup: Instantly imparts a radiant, "glass skin" effect.
• Cakey or Patchy Foundation: Creates a smooth, hydrated base so makeup glides on without clinging to dry spots.
• Poor Makeup Longevity: Helps to grip foundation, improving its adherence and wear time.
• Dehydration Lines: The hydrating formula helps to plump the skin, making fine lines less visible under makeup.

• MFDS Class: General Cosmetic. This product is not classified as a functional cosmetic by the South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) for benefits like brightening or wrinkle improvement. Its primary purpose is cosmetic preparation for makeup.
• Claims Basis: The benefits of glow and hydration are based on the formulation's ingredients (e.g., glycerin, oils, hyaluronic acid) and their known cosmetic functions. This is based on ingredient rationale.
• Medical Disclaimer: This product is a cosmetic for external use. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.

Key Ingredients Explained:

• Glycerin, Propanediol, Betaine: A trio of powerful humectants that draw moisture into the skin, providing a plump, hydrated base and preventing foundation from looking dry. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Gold (CI 77480): Finely milled gold particles suspended in the gel. While gold has some antioxidant properties, its primary role here is aesthetic, providing a visible luxurious shimmer that translates to a luminous glow on the skin. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil & Salvia Hispanica (Chia) Seed Extract: Emollient plant-derived oils that nourish the skin and contribute to the "oil volume" effect, giving a dewy, supple finish. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid: A low-molecular-weight form of hyaluronic acid that can penetrate the skin's surface to provide deeper hydration. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E): A potent antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental stressors and supports skin health. (Ingredient Rationale)

Full INCI List: Water, Glycerin, Propanediol, Diglycerin, Methyl Gluceth-20, PEG/PPG-17/6 Copolymer, Dimethicone, 1,2-Hexanediol, Betaine, Undecane, Salvia Hispanica Seed Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Tromethamine, Tridecane, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Fructooligosaccharides, Saccharide Hydrolysate, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Xanthan Gum, Pullulan, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Phenyl Trimethicone, Iron Oxides (CI 77489), Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Tocopherol, Gold (CI 77480), Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Polysorbate 20, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Fragrance.

• Fragrance: This product contains added fragrance ("Parfum"). The scent is typically described as a light, fresh, and slightly floral cosmetic fragrance. Intensity: 2/5.
• EU Allergens: The full list of potential fragrance allergens (e.g., Linalool, Limonene) is not publicly disclosed by the brand. A patch test is always advised for those with fragrance sensitivities.

• Texture: A lightweight, viscous gel-serum with visible gold flakes suspended within it.
• Feel: Spreads easily and feels hydrating and smooth on the skin. It sets to a slightly tacky finish, which helps grip makeup.
• Scent: Light, pleasant cosmetic fragrance.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand, but primers are typically formulated near the skin's natural pH of ~5.5.
• Comedogenicity Note: Contains Dimethicone, which has a low comedogenic rating but can be a concern for some highly sensitive or acne-prone individuals. Individual responses vary.

• Issue: My makeup is pilling or balling up.
  • Solution: You are likely using too much product or not waiting long enough. Use only one pump and wait a full 1-2 minutes for it to form a film before applying your next product. Also, try patting your foundation on instead of rubbing.
• Issue: It makes my skin look too shiny or greasy.
  • Solution: This "Oil Volume" formula is designed for a dewy look. Try using half a pump and concentrating it on the high points of your face (cheekbones, brow bone) as a liquid highlighter instead of an all-over primer. Alternatively, set your T-zone with a translucent powder. For very oily skin, our alternative recommendation, the "ETUDE Glow On Hydra Base," may be a better fit.
• Issue: I think it might be breaking me out.
  • Solution: Discontinue use immediately. The oil and silicone content may not be suitable for your skin. Check your other products for pore-clogging ingredients and ensure you are double-cleansing thoroughly at night.

• Humid Summer: For those with dry to normal skin, this provides a beautiful glow that doesn't feel heavy. For combination to oily skin, it may feel too dewy during the day; consider using it for evening makeup or switching to a mattifying primer for daytime.
• Drier Winter/AC Environments: Excellent for all skin types (except very oily) to combat the drying effects of "winter" air or constant air-conditioning. It prevents makeup from looking flat or flaky.

Aggregated sentiment from online reviews. Individual results may vary.

"My makeup looks flawless and my skin appears honey-like! I can't do my makeup without this product! It's a bit sticky, and my hair tends to stick to it."

"A perfect base to prevent makeup from flaking in winter! For dry skin, the Oil Volume works better than the Hydra version... if you apply too much, your base makeup might pill."

A user with combination/sensitive skin noted, "it did provide a non-greasy, subtle radiance. When my makeup started to wear off, it did so in an attractive way." However, they also suspected it might have caused a few new blemishes, but were uncertain if the product was the direct cause.
