Hourglass Cosmetics Veil Mineral Primer SPF 15

I ADORE this primer! I hate silicone based primers because I often use too much, and it balls up on my face. This has very little sillicone in it and feels like a lightweight lotion when you apply it. It gives my skin a smooth, ever-so-slight luminescence. Yes, it's quite pricey, but I only need to use a little amount, so it's well worth it to me.

This is by far the best primer I have used & trust me I've tried a lot! It's expensive but a little goes a long way so it lasts a good amount of time.
It makes your skin feel so soft & every foundation I've used just works better with this.
But if you're expecting miracles - don't. I have oily skin and I still shine after 1 hour, but blot and that's …Read more

I have recently started to use face primers within the last year and this is by far my favourite one. Albeit most expensive primer which I’ve purchased but I only use a few small dots each time. The product spreads nicely, has a lovely slip to it, no tacky feel. Doesn’t leave my face feeling dry after application. It’s a little running in texture and oddly the white product has a bluish tinge …Read more

I'm currently using the sephora mini size of this, but I'm definitely going to buy a larger one when I run out. This is the first primer I've ever used so I have nothing to compare this to, but I do find that my foundation goes on a lot smoother with this underneath. It also seems to help my skin out moisture-wise, and definitely does not irritate my sensitive skin at all …Read more

Confession: I really love this primer. However, I think it's much too expensive AND the SPF is not enough. It makes my makeup look amazing, feels nice on the skin (it has a slightly slippery finish), and doesn't give me zits. I would love to keep buying it instead of hoping I get samples with my Sephora orders, but it's so ridiculously expensive for something I use up quickly. …Read more

I'm surprised at how much I like this primer given I have dry skin. I was looking for a cleaner primer option while pregnant and this stuff really keeps my makeup on lock down. It also doesn't dry out my skin and it helps blur as well. It's very pricey but you need so little that I think it's worth the splurge. I've since picked up their No.28 serum primer because I liked …Read more

I like the FEEL of this product but am not sure it does anything as a primer beyond providing SPF. This is a thick silconey white cream with mineral sunscreen with a white cast. It has a thick plush typical silicone feel, a bit like a thinned down liquid version of Benefit Porefessional. Doesn't irritate my sensitive skin.

Worn on its own for the SPF, it blends better than most …Read more

Next to Murad Invisiblur, this is my favorite primer when I want doll skin perfection. I have mature oily skin, and this product creates such a smooth flawless base for makeup, and is like a filter in a bottle...I'm really surprised at the low reviews, but YMMV. I get best results when I pat on a facial oil, let that fully absorb, then lightly pat on the Veil primer, not rub..I have …Read more

Okay now this primer is an amazing primer . I have oily skin & I’ve been on a hunt for a primer that makes the foundation last the distance & still look flawless and honestly this is it, I’ll admit trial & error you have to find the right foundation to pair with the primer depending on the look you want - I use the Estée Lauder double wear - but it’s honestly a great primer . It’s the …Read more

I have acne prone skin, my skin used to be oily but now has shifted towards combo-dry. This was my first choice for a new face primer as I need more hydration. What's good a bout it that is doesn't dry out my skin and makes my concealer / foundation apply nicely, unfortunately after a week of using, I started breaking out only on areas where I put my primer on. I stopped using after I …Read more
