HOURGLASSVeil Mineral Primer

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!

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

This primer is like liquid gold to me.

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!

I've tried numerous primers. Hourglass is by far the best. I also like that it has SPF 15.

Leaves a white cast

This is the best primer I have every tried, and I have tried them all. It is pricey, but worth it. I would highly recommend this.
