Key IngredientsSerum-based hydrating complex

ETUDE Nymph Dewy Base Prep is a hydrating serum primer formulated with lightweight, water-based ingredients designed to prep skin and extend makeup wear. The primer leaves a dewy, luminous finish rather than a matte or grip-focused hold, making it best suited for those seeking a glowing base and hydration over maximum makeup longevity. Ideal for normal to dry skin, it aims to smooth texture and provide a hydrated canvas without the tacky feel of silicone grip primers. The formula emphasizes serum-like hydration, fitting the K-beauty aesthetic that ETUDE is known for. Comes in a convenient pump bottle.
