Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer, Face Primer That Extends Face Makeup Wear, Creates Smooth, Even Skin, Conceals Redness, and Minimizes Pores, Lines and Wrinkles, Oil-Free and SPF 15 Protection

This seems expensive for the price to amount ratio. HOWEVER, considering that one only uses a small amount each time (just a pinky nail amount will do) this is actually a great value.I got a sample from a Blue Mercury anniversary bag. I tried it and LOVED IT. I was using Benefit primer and that literally feels like sandy spackle compared to this. It goes on so silky smooth and my skin looks flawless under foundation. I have also used spray primers. Nothing beats this!Now, I wouldn't call this a miracle worker IF you don't regularly exfoliate, do masks, wash your face twice a day and use proper moisturizer and skin care products. If you DO have a healthy regime, you CAN go without foundation and have a FOUNDATION look.This primer was what I needed because, as one gets older, the novelty of makeup wears off and one wishes to focus on skincare. This was my case. I wanted to have a flawless look without looking like I was going on TV or a drag show. And still, if you want a heavy MAC look, this will also serve its purpose in giving you a fantastic primer finish for your makeup foundation. However, if you don't like wearing a lot of makeup but want a clean look, this product is for you, too!A true winner. I am glad I purchased this!

Goes on silky smooth and a little bit goes a long way. I finally found a primer I love!

This is the best primer I’ve ever used! I’m on my sixth bottle and they last a long time because you only need a tiny bit. Really helps makeup stay on longer and look more matte without being drying on my skin. Definitely worth the cost.

This is the best beauty product I have ever purchased. It controls oil and keeps my makeup looking fresh all day. It is expensive, but worth every penny. I have purchased many oil control primers in the past, but have never found anything that creates as flawless of a finish as this product. It is lightweight and makes my skin feel smooth and soft. I will continue to buy this product and recently ordered it in the larger size.

The first time I wore this primer, a friend asked me what I did differently with my makeup that day, because I looked nice. I'd say that's when I decided I loved this product.Other reasons I am in love with Hourglass Veil:- Smoothing it over my face feels like silk. It also just takes about 3/4 of a pump to cover your entire face.- My mineral makeup actually lasts all day when worn over this product. Since I hate reapplying, this is huge for me.- Shine is controlled and my T-zone is way less T-zoney.Though I knew I liked this before, I didn't repurchase after my first bottle ran out, because of the price (in this economy!?). I tried samples that I picked up from Avon, Ulta, and Sephora, but they didn't work as well for me, being too siliconey or just not as effective. After I impulse-bought another bottle of Hourglass and started using it again, I remembered why I loved it so much. It's totally worth it, and I won't let myself run out again.

Nice texture. Easy application. Seems to work with several different foundations I have (RMS, Lancome stick, Armani). NYX Angel Veil is not a dupe, in my opinion. I like this better. But, neither of them totally control my oil, and this one is pretty expensive. So... if you're not too oily and you're ok with the price, this is really good.

I cannot emphasize enough how long I have been looking for a primer that actually makes my makeup stay on my oily face. I tested this out on a warm day and my make up looked flawless hours later. Highly recommend!
