Dewy, Not Greasy: The Glazed Donut Primer 101
The glazed donut look can best be described as a super glowy and dewy finish, achieved through strategic use of moisturizers to intensely hydrate, nourish, and ultimately brighten skin.
Dewy skin doesn’t have to mean greasy skin, though. Especially if you already have oily skin, the last thing you want is to invite more shine.
Luckily, you can enhance sheen without looking greasy. We’ve got the best 2-in-1 moisturizer and primer to prep skin for a gorgeous glazed donut makeup look — without the grease.
This Glazed Donut Makeup Primer is 'Filter in a Bottle'
Meet our NEW Glazed Donut Skin Set, featuring a face serum + cream developed with nourishing oils and antioxidants to drench skin in long-lasting hydration without clogging pores, enhancing shine, or leaving skin feeling greasy.
Inspired by our O.G. Glazed Donut Shave Oil, this duo was designed especially for your face to let you create that iconic Glazed Donut look a la Hailey Bieber.
Besides intensely hydrating dry skin, this Glazed Donut duo works great as a makeup primer. In fact, we discovered that applying one or both of these formulas prior to foundation and concealer gives you a next level glowy makeup look. Alongside this, they ensure smooth makeup application for a flawless, poreless finish.
Why it’s Special
This 2-step skincare routine is a shortcut to that glazed skin look you’ve been seeing on celebs, TikTok, and of course, the Truly babes! While Hailey Bieber shared her recipe for glazed donut skin, the slew of skincare products she uses to achieve the look racks up to nearly $500.
If you don’t have the time or money to mimic Bieber’s formula, our Glazed Donut Skin Set is your solution. In only two steps, and with a price tag well under $100, you can get that gorgeous glow in a matter of seconds.
You can use it as part of your daily skincare routine or makeup routine. It really is the quick fix for glowy, healthy skin that looks lit from within!
How it Works
Infused with grapeseed, shea, vitamin E, and passion fruit, this duo provides skin with an instant burst of hydration and nourishment for a grease-free gleam that lasts all day.
Thanks to antioxidant rich grapeseed and vitamin E, these formulas help with brightening, firming, and softening the appearance of fine lines over time. While shea and passion fruit support the skin barrier and seal in moisture for a day’s worth of dewiness.
Since foundation looks best on hydrated skin, this Glazed Donut Set provides adequate moisture to skin, allowing your concealer and foundation to melt in seamlessly for a glistening, grease-free finish. It also softens and smooths so that foundation looks extra flawless — like your second skin, almost.

After using your daily cleanser, pat a couple of drops of Glazed Donut Serum into your face and neck. Then apply a thin layer of Glazed Donut Facial Glow Cream on top. You can follow up with eye cream and SPF, if you’re dealing with dark circles or planning to go out. Leave it to absorb before applying your makeup products.
