in your prime

If you've ever applied face makeup and found that all it does is accentuate your uneven texture and fine lines, you'll be thankful for Global Goddess Upgrade Complexion Face Primer ($36). Just smooth it on alone or under foundation to create a radiant, even canvas before applying your makeup. The lightweight formula won't clog pores or irritate sensitive skin but it does give it a smooth, matte finish while absorbing excess oil. But what really intrigued me was the fact that it promises to reflect light to give skin a brilliant glow. I applied some to my face and immediately noticed Global Goddesses' smoothing properties, thanks in part to vitamins A and E which nourish and antioxidants which protect. It also contains licorice extract which boosts circulation, brightens skin tone and lightens the appearance of imperfections. While it definitely helps makeup slide on evenly and stay put longer, I love the fact that it makes my skin feel so soft and smooth on its own. Besides, who doesn't love an upgrade?
