description

Moisturizing Foundation Primer does more than just prep skin for makeup application. Its superior formulation corrects complexion for clear, naturally radiant skin. Featuring the same loved texture and finish of past Paul & Joe primers, the Moisturizing Foundation Primer touts a higher concentration of orange flower water to condition skin, as well as two additional types of sodium hyaluronate This all amounts to superior hydration for dry skin and balanced moisture retention for oily skin.
