Hilary Duff’s Makeup Artist Swears by This Under-$50 Moisturizer for a Firm, Luminous Glow

Hilary Duff has long been one of our favorite sources of beauty inspiration, especially when it comes to her signature glowy skin. And while good makeup certainly helps, her makeup artist Taylor Healey knows that a radiant look starts well before foundation. Healey recently shared that she used the Drmtlgy FacialRX Brightening Moisturizer to prep Duff’s skin for the final night of the Lucky Me UK Tour.

“Mature skin often benefits from products that hydrate, boost radiance, and create a smoother-looking surface,” Healey told InStyle, adding that “this moisturizer does all of that without feeling heavy, making it a beautiful prep step before makeup.” The moisturizer is essentially a skin-prep multitasker, which means you can reach for it whether you’re planning on wearing a full face of makeup or going completely bare-faced.

It has vitamin C, an antioxidant known for its brightening benefits, along with glycerin, a humectant that helps draw moisture into the skin. It’s also made with glutathione, another antioxidant ingredient. Together, the cream is designed to tackle the dry, dull appearance that can keep skin from looking as luminous as you want it to!

Healey uses it as part of Duff’s pre-performance skin prep to create a smooth, luminous canvas before makeup, a particularly useful step when skin is going to be under unforgiving stage lighting. Instead of adding another complicated step to your routine, you can just smooth the moisturizer over clean skin and give it a few minutes to absorb before following with sunscreen and makeup. The added hydration can also help create that plump, fresh-looking base that makes complexion products look better on top.

One Amazon reviewer said it “really made a difference in the appearance of fine lines/wrinkles.” Another shopper who said it’s “great for mature skin” raved: “I have dry, mature skin and this product really does moisturize. It works well under makeup.”

If Duff’s luminous skin has you rethinking your own pre-makeup routine, this cream is a great place to start. Add it to your Amazon cart and get one step closer to a gorgeous glow!
