Makeup is really only as good as its base. As anyone who has ever tried to apply foundation to under-prepped skin can tell you, the finish is far from seamless: It settles into lines, clings on to dry patches, and looks caked on. While a good moisturizer can fix a lot of those problems, there’s a product from an Oprah-favorite brand that does all that and more, and it’s on sale for just $18 right now with the code ME15.

Laura Geller’s Spackle Skin Perfecting Primer has become a go-to for Hollywood’s makeup artists thanks to its skin-plumping and pore-blurring effects. The brand’s hydrating formula has been used on Fran Drescher to keep her award-show glam looking fresh, while Sarah Paulson’s MUA, Adam Breuchaud, just used the luminous Champagne Glow primer to give the actress some serious radiance on the Vanity Fair Oscars After Party red carpet.

Paulson’s Champagne primer is the ideal base if you like your makeup to look bright. It has a golden sheen that’s really subtle, catching the light to create a soft, natural-looking glow that can make any foundation you pair it with look a little more radiant. Shoppers say it makes their skin look “sun-kissed” and that it “blurs imperfections.” Because of that, many fans say that they actually now wear this in place of foundation.

That radiance is what makes this version of the Spackle Skin Perfecting Primer special, but, like the brand’s other primers, it also reduces the appearance of pores, increases the longevity of makeup, and hydrates and plumps skin. Those qualities have made it a favorite of shoppers with more mature skin. A 74-year-old said that it made their skin smoother, while others reported that it “minimized” and “filled in” their fine lines and left their skin looking “like silk.”

Laura Geller’s Spackle Skin Perfecting plumping primer has become the go-to for stars 50 and over, helping to create a smooth, even base for foundation. While Paulson’s artist opted for the Champagne Glow, the primer is available in six other versions, which you can shop below. Make sure to enter the code ME15 at checkout for an extra 15 percent off.
