Face Glow Tinted Primer + Illuminator by Graydon Skincare
$38, graydonskincare.com
Achieve a natural end-of-summer glow with this tinted primer and illuminator designed for all skin types. This lightweight, hydrating formula is packed with ingredients like Non-Nano Zinc Oxide to protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, as well as Spirulina (a.k.a. blue-green algae) to help fight free radicals, as well as replenish skin’s hydration. Use it alone, under makeup, or as a highlighter on your cheekbones or brow bone.
“I love this illuminator. It’s great for freshening up your face when you don’t feel like wearing foundation. I usually put a pea size amount all over my face after I moisturize. It gives your face a nice, subtle glow and enhances your natural color. This product has become a staple in my daily makeup routine.”

“The texture and fragrance of this light, moisturizing hand cream is incredible. I tried White Tea & Fig and this is my new favorite product. I am so pleased that this hand cream is free from parabens and sulfates and is cruelty-free. It has the perfect amount of moisture which absorbs easily into my dry hands.” —Beauty Buzz Member Jessica Vermillion, 39, Crofton
