3 Essentials to Upgrade Your Skin and Makeup Routines

Dermablend Insta-Grip Jelly Primer

Does your makeup seem to melt off mid-day? End the battle once and for all by incorporating Dermablend’s Insta-Grip Jelly Primer into the mix. This jelly primer is a triple-threat, operating as a tightening mask, instant moisturizer, and makeup-gripper all in one. In addition to extending your makeup’s wear time, the formula also helps attract moisture to the skin and prep it for smooth makeup application.

Our editor took the Insta-Grip Jelly Primer for a test-drive —and spoiler alert— the results did not disappoint. You can read all about her experience, here. 

How to Use:

Step #1: Sweep Insta-Grip Jelly Primer all over the face. You’ll immediately feel the sticky sensation. 

Step #2: Let the primer dry so that it’s ready to grip onto your subsequently-applied makeup.

Dermablend Makeup Dissolver

Anyone who’s loyal to wearing full-coverage makeup understands the struggle of removing it at the end of day. Sometimes even our most powerful cleansers can’t do the trick. But what’s arguably worse than our makeup not coming off? Forcing it to. The repeated tugging and pulling can wreak havoc on our complexions overtime. That’s why we recommend turning to a gentle emulsion that can instantly melt away makeup on the eyes, lips, face and body without the need for harsh rubbing. Enter: Dermablend’s Makeup Dissolver. Free of parabens, sulfates and fragrance, this vegan-friendly and non-greasy dissolving cream feels lightweight and cooling on the skin. It’s also non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog your pores.

And if that type of convenience isn’t enough to convince you — this will: you don’t have to use water! The formula is versatile enough to cater to different preferences, so if you do like to rinse your face the old-fashioned way, you’re absolutely free to do so. Or, if you intend on making it a lazy night, you may remove Makeup Dissolver with a tissue from the comfort of your own bed.
