Our review

ICONIC London became famous for its Illuminator, and Underglow is its subtler, everyday version: a primer that, instead of leaving skin flat and matte, creates a demi-matte finish with a soft glow that looks like it comes from within.

The secret is two kinds of particles: soft-focus blurring powders that visually smooth pores and fine lines, and ultra-fine champagne pearls that reflect light with no visible glitter. As a single sheer, universal shade it works on both fair and deep skin tones — the brand's own photos show it on both.

It also includes antioxidant vitamin C and Artemisia capillaris extract, which the brand links to blue-light protection. It doesn't replace sunscreen: there's no SPF.

The dropper makes dosing easy (2–3 drops for the whole face) and the 27 ml bottle lasts a while. At about $37 per ounce it's clearly more affordable than many luxury primers, though it contains fragrance — worth noting if your skin is reactive.

How to use

After moisturizing, apply 2–3 drops over the face, focusing on shinier areas, and blend with fingertips or a brush. Wear alone or under foundation.

What we love / Keep in mind

What we love

  • Blurs pores with a very natural luminous finish
  • One universal shade that works on every skin tone
  • Can be worn alone for a “no-makeup” look
  • Vegan and cruelty-free

Keep in mind

  • Contains fragrance
  • No SPF: you still need sunscreen
  • On very oily skin the glow can look like shine by the end of the day

Best for

Anyone after natural glowing skin and blurred pores without layers of makeup, or a luminous base that helps foundation last longer.

Skip it if…

Very oily skin that prefers a fully matte finish, or skin that reacts to fragrance.

What buyers say

4.3

Buyers mostly love the subtle, elegant glow, how well it blurs pores and that makeup lasts longer. Some with oily skin say they need to mattify the T-zone, and a few dislike the scent.
