Futurist Aqua Brilliance Watery Glow Primer with Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin

Estée Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance Watery Glow Primer is a skincare-makeup hybrid: a refreshing gel-cream that bursts into micro water droplets on contact, smoothing skin for makeup while flooding it with moisture. Wear it under foundation for a better application — or alone for a plumped, lit-from-within glow.

What it actually does

• Triples skin's moisture. Estée Lauder says the Triple Moisture Complex — two types of hyaluronic acid plus glycerin — delivers all-day and longer-term hydration.
• Smooths for makeup. The gel-cream visibly evens the skin surface so foundation applies more beautifully.
• Supports the barrier. Per the brand, it strengthens the skin barrier and protects against environmental stressors, with ion-charged water and naturally derived ingredients.
• Brand-reported clinical results: in Estée Lauder's study on 19 panelists, 95% showed a 113% moisture increase immediately and after 8 hours of wear, and 100% showed more even tone and increased radiance at both time points. Individual results vary.

How to use

1. Dab a one-inch (2.5 cm) circle onto your fingertips.
2. Blend gently over the whole face, after your daily serum and moisturiser.
3. Wear it on its own for a dewy skin day, or follow with foundation — Estée Lauder suggests pairing it with Futurist Hydra Rescue Moisturizing Makeup SPF 45 (sold separately).

Questions

Can I skip moisturiser and just use this?

Estée Lauder positions it to go over your daily serum and moisturiser. On a rushed morning it adds serious hydration on its own, but for best results keep your moisturiser underneath.

Does it work without foundation on top?

Yes — it's designed to be worn alone for a plumped, glowing look, or underneath foundation as prep. Both are intended uses.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability — in-stock items arrive at the shorter end of that range.

How can I pay?

Credit card, debit card, Instapay and mobile wallets — no cash on delivery.

What if my order arrives damaged or expired?

Report it within 1 day of delivery — defective, damaged or expired items are the only eligible returns. Refunds are issued to the original payment method within 15–30 days.
