Fran Drescher, 67, loves this 'bright and beautiful' primer for aging skin
It 'just glides on' and doesn't settle into creases and fine lines, other fans say.
Her voice may be grating, but her skin is darn smooth. It turns out that Fran Drescher's secret to glowing, age-defying skin may be within reach for us regular folks. Drescher, 67, partnered with cosmetics brand Laura Geller on a collection of primers designed to impart a custom finish, from an ethereal glow to perfectly matte. Other stars like Bethenny Frankel and Paulina Porizkova have joined suit. But back to Drescher: The star's go-to? The brand's Spackle Primer.
The primer is especially effective on aging skin because it doesn't settle into creases and fine lines, fans say.
The primer is a must-have in Drescher's makeup bag. She shared on Instagram that it's the ultimate multitasker — it's so hydrating that she can skip using a moisturizer. It's formulated to slough away dry, flaky skin and create a smooth, porcelain-like finish. It's lightweight, not greasy or tacky, so you may even forget it's even there, fans say. Plus, you can wear it alone or under foundation.
"It keeps my makeup looking bright and beautiful all day long," Drescher gushed.
This Laura Geller favorite has also garnered praise from many shoppers over the age of 55 who consider it a five-star buy.
"I do have age spots to cover since I am over the age of 70," shared a shopper. "I have been using this moisturizer ... for a month and have decided to totally change to this brand from my older choice that I have used for over 30 years. Definitely helps with the coverup of spots and helps moisturize my face prior to putting the makeup on."
"I'm 55 and starting to wrinkle," another fan shared. "I've been having a terrible time finding a foundation that doesn't just settle into the wrinkles and make me look cakey and even older. This made all the difference in the world. It's smooth and creamy, which I was a little surprised at because it's called Spackle — I thought it would be thick like drywall spackle! It just glides on, feels great and now my foundation is smooth and floats on my skin!"
A third chimed in: "It doesn't take much at all and I added it to my regular face makeup ... Mix it together and it's amazing even on a 65-year-old face!"
Like any beauty product, this primer isn't a miracle worker. As one reviewer noted: "The product was okay, I didn't notice a significant change in the appearance of my skin when using it. The cream glides on nicely, makes skin feel nice and soft, and provides an even base under makeup or BB/CC cream."
Another shared: "Unfortunately, this primer is not the best one for hiding large pores. It does work for smoothing the surface of the skin and helping grip your foundation. However, if you have large pores, you might want to look elsewhere."
Shoppers and celebs alike say this hydrating primer helps makeup glide on effortlessly.
