Struggling with makeup that looks dull, cakey, or emphasizes dry patches? The ETUDE Glow On Hydra Base is a skincare-makeup hybrid designed to solve that. It’s a lightweight gel primer that deeply hydrates the skin while imparting a subtle, pearlescent glow.

• Texture: A refreshing water-gel with tiny encapsulated pearl, diamond, and gold particles that melt into the skin upon application.
• Finish: Creates a dewy, luminous, and smooth canvas, helping foundation glide on seamlessly.
• Best For: Normal, Combination, and especially Dry skin types looking to achieve a healthy, hydrated "glass skin" effect under their makeup.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
2. Sunscreen (AM): Apply your daily SPF 30+ and let it set for 1-2 minutes. This is a crucial step to protect your skin.
3. Glow On Hydra Base (THIS PRODUCT): Apply one pump evenly over the face.
4. Makeup (Optional): Proceed with your foundation or BB cream for a radiant, long-lasting finish.

Mindful Tip: Already have a primer? Finish it first. The goal is to substitute, not to stack similar products, to ensure you get the best results and avoid waste.

The correct order is essential to prevent pilling and ensure every product works effectively.

• Minimalist Routine (4 steps):
  1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
  2. Moisturiser (Optional): If you have very dry skin, apply a light moisturiser. For oily/combo skin, this primer might provide enough hydration.
  3. Sunscreen: Apply a generous amount of SPF 30 or higher. Wait 1-2 minutes for it to absorb and form a protective layer. This is the most important step for skin health in Mauritius.
  4. ETUDE Glow On Hydra Base (THIS PRODUCT): Apply as the final step before makeup.
• Optional Additions:
  • Hydrating Toner/Serum: If your skin is dehydrated, apply a hydrating serum before your moisturiser/SPF.
  • Foundation/BB Cream: Apply after the Glow On Hydra Base has set for a smooth, dewy finish.

Daily Use — AM Only:

• Amount: One full pump is sufficient for the entire face.
• Apply to: A clean, moisturised, and sunscreen-protected face.
• Method: Dispense onto fingertips and gently smooth over the skin. Pat lightly to help the capsules melt and absorb. Avoid vigorous rubbing to prevent pilling.
• Wait time: Allow the primer to set for at least 60 seconds before applying foundation.
• Frequency: Use daily in your morning routine as a makeup base.

Makeup Tips (No Pilling):

• Pilling Culprit #1: Rushing. Always wait for your sunscreen to fully absorb before applying this primer. Then, wait for the primer to set before foundation.
• Pilling Culprit #2: Friction. Instead of rubbing foundation on, gently press and pat it into the skin with a sponge or your fingers. This technique prevents the layers underneath from balling up.
• Compatibility: This hydrating primer works best with hydrating or satin-finish foundations. Be cautious when pairing with very heavy, matte, or silicone-heavy foundations, as textures can sometimes clash.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use if signs of irritation appear.

• Immediately: Skin feels instantly hydrated and appears visibly brighter and more luminous. The surface is smoother, creating an ideal canvas for makeup application. Foundation glides on more easily and looks less cakey.
• Within 2-4 weeks: With daily use, the cumulative hydrating effects of ingredients like Glycerin and Hyaluronic Acid help improve the skin's baseline moisture levels. Skin may feel softer and more supple even without the product on.
• 4-8+ weeks: This is a cosmetic primer, not a targeted treatment serum. Any long-term skin benefits are secondary to its primary function of improving makeup application and finish.

• Why this, not that: Instead of relying on heavy, pore-clogging silicone primers that just create a thick layer on the skin, choose a modern hydrating primer like this one. It uses water-based hydration and light-reflecting particles to smooth and perfect the skin's appearance without the suffocating feel, making it a better choice for overall skin health.

• Works Well With:
  • Hydrating serums (like Hyaluronic Acid) applied before SPF.
  • Most chemical and mineral sunscreens (allow them to dry down first).
  • Liquid and cream foundations, BB creams, and cushions with a satin or dewy finish.
• Use Carefully With:
  • Matte Foundations: The dewy base of the primer can sometimes conflict with the formulation of an ultra-matte foundation, potentially causing separation or pilling. If you must use a matte foundation, apply a very thin layer of the primer and allow it to set completely.
  • Silicone-Heavy Products: Layering too many silicone-based products (some serums, sunscreens, and foundations) can lead to pilling. If you notice this, check the ingredient lists of your products and try to reduce the number of silicone-heavy formulas used together.

• Excellent For:
  • Dry Skin: Provides a much-needed layer of hydration that prevents foundation from clinging to dry patches and looking flaky.
  • Normal Skin: Enhances the skin's natural radiance for a healthy, dewy look.
• Good For:
  • Combination Skin: Can hydrate dry areas without making the T-zone feel overly greasy. In Mauritius' humidity, it might even be sufficient as a light morning moisturiser.
  • Mature Skin: The hydrating and plumping effect can help to soften the appearance of fine lines, creating a smoother canvas for makeup.
• Use With Caution:
  • Very Oily Skin: This primer is designed to add glow, not control oil. If you have very oily skin, you may find the finish too dewy. Consider using it only on the high points of your face as a liquid highlighter, or opt for a mattifying primer instead.

While primarily a makeup product, its formulation helps with skin concerns related to makeup application:

• Dull, Lacklustre Skin: Instantly imparts a radiant, "lit-from-within" glow.
• Dehydrated Skin Under Makeup: Provides a layer of moisture to keep skin feeling comfortable and looking plump throughout the day.
• Foundation Clinging to Dry Patches: Creates a smooth, hydrated surface so makeup applies evenly without catching on flaky areas.
• Poor Makeup Adhesion/Longevity: Helps grip foundation for a longer-lasting, more seamless finish.

• Country of Manufacture: Republic of Korea (South Korea)

Who Should Use With Caution:

• Individuals with a known sensitivity to fragrances in cosmetics.
• Those with extremely oily or acne-prone skin may find the dewy finish exacerbates shine or feels heavy.

Patch Test Protocol:

Before using on your full face, we recommend a patch test. Apply a pea-sized amount to a small, clean area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your jawline. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation. If a reaction occurs, discontinue use.

For Teens: This product is suitable for teens who wear makeup. The focus for teenage skin should always be a simple routine: cleanser, a light moisturiser, and daily sunscreen.

• Texture: A clear, lightweight, water-based gel containing visible suspended capsules that burst upon application, releasing the glow components without any gritty feel.
• Finish: Leaves a hydrated, dewy, and subtly luminous finish. It is not glittery, but rather creates a natural-looking sheen.
• Scent: Has a noticeable but pleasant floral fragrance that dissipates after application.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand, but likely formulated in the skin-friendly range of 5.5-6.5.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Polysorbate 20 and PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, which can be potential triggers for those with fungal acne. Individual responses vary; patch testing is advised.

• If your makeup is pilling (balling up): You are likely using too much product or not waiting long enough between layers. Use only one pump, spread it thinly, and wait a full minute for your sunscreen to dry before applying the primer, and another minute for the primer to dry before applying foundation. Also, try patting your base makeup on instead of rubbing.
• If you look too shiny: This is a glow-focused primer. If you have oily skin, try using it only on the high points of your face (cheekbones, bridge of the nose) as a liquid highlighter under your foundation, or mix a small drop directly into your foundation to sheer it out and add radiance.
• If your skin feels sticky: You may have applied too much. A single pump should absorb cleanly, leaving a hydrated but not overly sticky feel.

• Humid Summers: The lightweight gel texture is perfect for Mauritius' humid climate. For those with oily or combination skin, this primer can often double as a morning moisturiser under sunscreen, providing sufficient hydration without feeling heavy or greasy.
• Drier Winters/AC Environments: During the drier winter months or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, this primer provides an excellent extra layer of hydration to prevent your makeup from looking dry and cakey. For very dry skin, apply it over your regular moisturiser.

• On the Glow and Hydration: "I have dry skin and my make up always look flaky after awhile... This is very moisturising and not oily. A good primer for make up as well. Highly recommended!" — YesStyle review (2023-08)
• On Makeup Application: "It creates a really beautiful, subtle glow from within. It’s not glittery at all. My foundation goes on so much smoother and looks more like real skin. It’s become a staple in my routine." — Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024-02)
• A Fair Caveat (For Oily Skin): "If you have oily skin, this might not be for you. It's definitely a 'glowy' primer, not a mattifying one. On my combo skin, I have to powder my t-zone, but my cheeks look amazing and hydrated all day." — Amazon customer review (2023-11)

At Adilsons, we are committed to providing you with authentic, high-quality K-beauty products. We carefully curate our selection based on efficacy, safety, and conscious formulation. Our promise is to offer transparent, evidence-based information to help you make mindful choices for your skin. We guarantee 100% authenticity on every product we sell.

1. Do I use this before or after sunscreen?
Always apply this primer after your sunscreen. Sunscreen needs to form an even layer directly on your skin to be effective. Let your SPF set for 1-2 minutes, then apply the Glow On Hydra Base.

2. Will this make my oily skin look greasy?
It might. This primer is designed to add a dewy glow, not control oil. If you have very oily skin, you could try using it as a targeted highlighter on your cheekbones before foundation, or mix a tiny amount into your foundation for a less intense glow.

3. Are the glitter particles visible on the skin?
No, the capsules contain very fine, pearlescent minerals, not chunky glitter. They melt into the skin to create a subtle, diffused radiance that looks like a natural, healthy glow rather than visible shimmer.

• Best For: Individuals with normal to dry skin types seeking a hydrated, dewy base for makeup.
