NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Bare With Me Hydrating Jelly Primer — Water-Based Vegan Face Primer, Pore-Blurring Hydration

NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Bare With Me Hydrating Jelly Primer is a lightweight, water-based gel primer that hydrates skin, blurs pores, and creates a smooth base for makeup or no-makeup looks.

This hydrating jelly primer combines a bouncy gel texture with water-based gripping polymers and soothing botanicals to refresh the complexion and help makeup sit evenly. The formula layers easily under liquid or powder products, adds a subtle matte finish, and can be worn alone as a light hydrator for a natural glow. It’s vegan, PETA-recognized cruelty-free, and formulated to leave skin feeling soft without heavy silicones.

How does this primer help my skin before makeup?

The gel texture smooths the surface of the skin, reducing the visible appearance of pores while delivering lightweight hydration. It creates a thin, even layer that helps foundation and concealer apply more predictably and last longer throughout the day.

• Water-based formula prevents a greasy feel and layers well under makeup
• Cucumber and aloe extracts soothe and refresh skin
• Gripping polymers provide a tacky-but-not-sticky base for foundation
• Mattifying finish controls shine while maintaining a natural look

Can I wear it alone, and what results should I expect?

Yes — the primer doubles as a light hydrator for days when you want minimal coverage. Applied alone, it leaves skin looking brighter and more even, with a soft-touch finish that reduces the need for heavy makeup.

• Light hydration without a slimy or heavy residue
• Subtle blurring effect for pores and fine texture
• Fresh, dewy-but-controlled radiance suitable for no-makeup looks

How does the texture feel and how much should I use?

The product has a springy, jelly-like consistency that bounces back when touched, making it easy to distribute across the face. A pea-sized amount is usually enough for full-face coverage; you can add a touch more to drier areas.

• Bouncy jelly texture glides and spreads evenly
• Quick-absorbing without tackiness once set
• Packable: small amount covers forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin

Is this primer compatible with different skin types and other NYX products?

This water-based primer is suitable for normal, combination, and oily skin because it hydrates while helping control shine. It also works well with NYX foundations, concealers, and setting sprays to create a cohesive Bare With Me routine for color correction and long wear.

• Pairs with liquid and powder foundations for smoother application
• Complements other Bare With Me products for a uniform finish
• Formulated without animal testing and suitable for vegan routines
