I Don't Need Highlighter With Glow Recipe's Dew Drops Serum

I first experimented with primers a decade ago. At the time, they felt very silicone-like and were only marketed toward performers and dancers who needed their makeup to last for professional reasons — so I wrote them off because they felt too heavy and congested for my oily, breakout-prone skin. While the primer product category has seen a lot of growth and innovation in the last decade (there are many that I now like), I have not touched one since realizing how great of a replacement Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops are. 

My discovery was actually an accident. My skin has been especially dry, and to compensate, I've been cycling through a number of products marketed as being “dewy” or “glow-enhancing.” When I was moving from my skincare to my makeup routine, I noticed that after using Glow Recipe’s Dew Drops, my complexion looked much less porous, more even, and yes, dewy.

When I first used the product, I elected to skip a primer and go straight to foundation, and the effect was stunning. My foundation went on like I was working with the most even of canvases — not like the pothole- and pebble-covered road that my complexion frequently is.

Thanks to the niacinamide-packed formula, my skin looks (and feels) so soft, smooth, and radiant that sometimes I skip highlighter altogether. Plus, the hyaluronic acid in the formula locks in moisture super well — at the end of the day, my skin feels as hydrated as it did when I first finished my skincare routine. I also think the Dew Drops have been functioning as some sort of protective barrier, preventing any potentially comedogenic ingredients from penetrating my skin too deeply. My post-makeup skin is less clogged and congested when I prime my face with this product.

The TL;DR? Your makeup and skincare routines are probably missing out without these drops. Head to Amazon and Sephora to shop Glow Recipe’s makeup-improving Dew Drops.
