A dreamy water-based primer infused with pearlescent, quartz and hydrating oil beads. Your face looks instantly refreshed, ultra-smooth and radiant. Review: "I love this product. Gives a beautiful glow whether you wear it alone or under make up. Easy to apply and really good value for money."

Our girl Charlotte Tilbury has gone and done it again with the superb Wonderglow primer. Apply this before your foundation and harness the glow of a Greek goddess. We're not joking.Review: "I use this primer on its own in the summer when my skin is at its most tanned. It's soft on the skin and looks great on its own. Leaves a healthy glow to the skin- I've just bought the bigger bottle."

This purse-friendly primer has fine pearl pigments which enhance the complexion for a super-luminous, glowing look. It also helps blur pores and lines for a flawless finish. Review: "Amazing product, especially for mature skin. I'm very pleasantly surprised. Blurs lines well, takes years off with my illuminating foundation on top. I'm definitely a regular buyer from now on."

This power-watt formula is blended with light-reflecting micronised pearls and porcelain flower extract to illuminate the complexion. It's glowy enough to be worn as an illuminator. Review: "AMAZING!!!! This primer has to be one of the best illuminating primers. I love this primer when I'm trying to go for that glow from within look, especially on a no makeup, makeup kind of day."

Ah. We like to call this the YSL miracle primer because the results are truly, well, miraculous. The Touche Éclat primer contains optimal light diffusion technology to help boost the radiance of your foundation and even out your skin tone. It's a little on the spennier side, but it's 10000 per cent worth it. Trust us on this one. Review: "This product is amazing. Feels so luxurious on my face and neck. My tinted moisturiser or foundation glided on afterwards and my skin looks really smooth. It helps to blur my wrinkles and at 73 that's quite amazing."

This is brimming with gold flecks (boujee!) and honey, which nourishes the skin and neutralises the appearance of discolouration and redness. Despite a small-looking bottle, it will last you ages. Review: "This is definitely one of the best primers I've used. I have dry skin with a lot of texture. This smooths out my skin and hydrates it. My foundation looks amazing over this! I always keep coming back to it."

Ideal for oily skin, this stops skin looking too shiny, whilst adding radiance. It contains Niacinamide and Vitamin E which both help with congestion and hydration for skin that improves over time. Review: "This make up Primer is amazing - Just a few drops blended into skin before applying make-up leaves my skin feeling super soft. I even use it on 'Stay at home - make up free days'...Lovely light scent, blends easily into skin. What's not to like. Would definitely recommend."

For insane levels of radiance, Kevyn Aucoin's Glass Glow Primer has got yo' back. The glow is subtle but poppin' and shines relentlessly through any foundation. We love. Review: "I absolutely love this and the glow it gives. I mix in a half a pump of this with my Kevyn Aucoin skin tint and the results are fabulous! I then go in a dab the tiniest amount of this on the high points of my face, for extra glassiness. A little really goes a long way!"

A blue light primer? That's right. Wunder2's primer protects, primes and perfects skin with its active Jasminum Sambac and Mangosteen ingredients, leaving you feeling silky smooth as ever.Review: "Great texture and provides nice moisturizing base to any….or NO makeup. I ordered more."
