WBR: Primer

2025's most popular beauty

Fake tan stained knees

This week on Expert, it’s our last episode of the year, so we’re reflecting on the products you all loved (and purchased a lot) from Adore Beauty in 2025. We’re talking: top 10 status. Glowing reviews? You bet. 

In Win, Bin or Recycle, it’s the Great Primer Debate. Sadaf swears by it but Tegan doesn’t use it – is there a right or wrong way to skin prep or does it just come down to preference?

For our Adore Anonymous listener, we reveal our best tips on dealing with the dreaded fake tan knee stain. Fake tan users, listen up.
