What the gurus are saying

Gurus praise it for delivering a soft, natural glow with a pleasant golden hue that blends seamlessly into skin, paired with a gel texture that feels hydrating and cushioning rather than heavy. The main thing to watch: a little goes a long way, so those aiming for glow rather than shine may want to use it sparingly to avoid an overly dewy finish. A few experts suggest massaging it in with fingertips to work it fully into the skin.

"I use a primer to give a good glow. And I love Vieve Skin Nova. I like skin dew mixed with Chanel's illuminating primer. But if you use too much skin dew, you do look like the tin men."

"It's got like the most beautiful kind of golden hue to it. It's a really nice kind of like gel consistency but because you've got that radiance in there it leaves the skin nice and glowy but not sparkly like at all. Just glow, no glitter. That's what we like. Actually smells beautiful too but not in a super heavily like artificial fragrance way."

"Skin Nova is our instant radiance primer but it is an incredible lightweight moisturizer. It hydrates skin by 202% so it literally floods your skin with moisture. It is just the most phenomenal primer, it's our best seller. It's a product that anyone can use, any skin type tone. It's got a really nice golden hue to it which just disappears into the skin and just kind of gives that radiance. I use it every single day."

EASY MAKEUP TUTORIAL (that actually looks quite glam) | JAMIE GENEVIEVE
"Prepping skin with Skin Nova, I just work that into my fingertips and then into my skin. This hydrates skin so much and I like to really massage it in and give my skin that love. It's a really stretchy texture, really cushioning, very hugging to the skin, really really hydrating."

"This primer hydrates skin by 202% so it is unbelievable, it's definitely like almost more skin care than makeup. I use it every single morning whether I'm doing makeup or not and after 48 hours your skin moisturization levels are still boosted by 30% so it's a product that works over time and instantly."
