ESTEE LAUDER Futurist Aqua Brilliance Watery Glow Primer Review and Swatches

Hello my lovelies,

As we are quickly approaching the holidays, I wanted to share this superstar combo for flawless skin all day long. I started using the Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance Watery Glow Primer a few months ago and I was amazed at how it keeps my skin looking fresh no matter what the weather might be. I have used this in humidity, as well as in Calgary's super dry weather and I loved the results so much that I must share my experience for you. I love using this primer with my all time favorite foundation - Estee Lauder Double Wear and currently I am using the shade Tawny (review here)

ESTEE LAUDER Futurist Aqua Brilliance Watery Glow Primer is a lightweight primer that promises to immediately triple skin’s moisture and can be worn alone or under a foundation. This dewy finish primer has a non oily, watery feel on skin and quite aptly named the Watery Glow Primer.  It also promises to strengthen skin’s barrier and provide moisturization that lasts all day. I can certainly vouch for that because my skin stays nicely hydrated and never feels tight or itchy while I have this on. Often I would feel that the Double Wear foundation dries out my skin in cold winter weather and needs something underneath. While you all you know I detest silicone primers, I love this new era of moisturizing primers that works so much better for my skin. I have reviewed the Guerlain L'essential primer here, which feels similar on skin but the Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance Watery Glow Primer has a dewy finish which I absolutely love and NEED for a more radiant look.

I love the tube packaging as it makes it easy to dispense a small amount for application while also preventing unnecessary contact with air. I wish every skincare product would come in either a pump bottle or a tube packaging. 

ESTEE LAUDER Futurist Aqua Brilliance Watery Glow Primer Swatches

From the swatch above you can see the slight sheen this primer adds to my skin which looks beautiful on its own and adds a touch of radiance to the foundation I apply over it. I have worn this with the Double Wear Foundation to many events where I was photographed with flash at night and also during the day; I can confirm that it looks absolutely perfect in photos as it does to the eye. 

If you are on the hunt for a primer that nourishes your skin, adds longevity to your foundation while also making your skin look radiant, then this is the right one for you. I can't stop using this and I highly recommend the ESTEE LAUDER Futurist Aqua Brilliance Watery Glow Primer. It retails for $49 in Canada and its available at all major beauty counters and online at Estee Lauder's website.
