Ultra-Hydrating Makeup Primers

The Complexion Perfection Pre-Makeup Base Takes Cues from Vagisil

The Complexion Perfection Pre-Makeup Base is a new Huda Beauty product that is being touted as one that has an ultra-hydrating, smooth and silky formula that boasts the ability to blur fine lines and wrinkles.

The product includes antioxidant-rich rosehip oil and has the potential to double as a lightweight moisturizer as it is so nourishing to the skin. As well as being able to use the priming base straight on one's skin, consumers may make their own BB cream by combining the product with a foundation.

The idea for the Complexion Perfection Pre-Makeup Base came to Huda Beauty founder Huda Kattan after she experimented with Vagisil as a makeup primer. As such, the new primer formula actually includes Vagisil's key ingredient, dimethicone, which is known for its ability to diminish fine lines and even out the skin's texture.
