View SephoraWhat Sephora says
A three-in-one solution addressing the look of wrinkles, pores, and uneven texture with a velvety-smooth colorless formula that primes for 12 hours of flawless makeup wear.
Apply a thin, even layer over face as the last step of your skincare regimen before makeup application. May be applied under makeup or worn alone.
What Glass adds
This is a unique hybrid product. It functions well as a primer and offers SPF protection, but its primary benefits are cosmetic. Consider it if you prioritize makeup performance and a blurred complexion over targeted skincare concerns.
Makeup primer performance
Many users praise its ability to create a smooth, pore-blurring base for makeup, making foundation application seamless and extending wear time.
Texture and finish
The velvety, matte finish is a consistent highlight, though some find it too drying for drier skin types.

Routine fit
Apply this as the very last step in your skincare routine, after all serums and moisturizers, but before any makeup. It acts as a primer, so makeup should go on top.
Why it works
The useful question is not whether this product is good in a vacuum. It is whether it makes your routine easier to run or just adds one more bottle with a familiar ingredient on it.
What it actually does well
Where it starts to feel redundant
Routine fit
Morning routine
This is strictly a morning product due to its SPF content. It should be applied after your regular skincare and before makeup.
