This gripping formula contains hyaluronic acid and electrolytes, plus vitamin E, pro-vitamin B5, magnesium, potassium and more. It keeps the skin deeply hydrated and makes it look plump, moisturized and replenished.
Maybelline New York Face Studio Master Prime in Hydrate + Smooth
This ultra-moisturizing formula can be applied before foundation to give your skin an extra dose of hydration, or you can wear it alone to make skin look naturally glowy and dewy.
