![]() Although it is still oil-free it gives a wonderful lit-from-within, dewy finish on the skin. The Veil Fluid Makeup is a lightweight (the lightest of all 4 foundation) serum-like texture. It provides a medium coverage, although, I often use this very sparingly for no-makeup-days instead of a tinted moisturiser as it gives *that type* of finish but better. This is for those who like makeup and skincare infused and like that feeling of a really hydrating base. The Hyaluronic Skin Tint (formally Illusion) is one of my favourite of their bases and it is whipped-mousse formula that contains hyaluronic acid, pearlescent pigments for a glowing finish & firming ingredients. I can’t remember which range it was (possibly The Veil) but I was their palest shade when usually I am around 4th/5th in! I have found Hourglass always to be good at accommodating for deeper skin tones although sometimes hard to find them in stock on counter. I’m also glad to see they have extended their paler shades lately as I really struggled to find really porcelain/pale shades from Hourglass up until about 2 years ago. Hourglass currently do 4 different foundations: I find the shades can really vary between them all so don’t think because you are ‘Beige’ in one, you will be the same in another formula. I just find them a bit of a fuss and wish they gave more oomph to the skin. I was really looking forward to these, but it just seems for colour-correcting, they don’t do enough OR have enough colour-correcting/brightening pigments in them. They are oil-free and lightweight in texture although heavier than both the above. ![]() This comes in 3 colour correcting and brightening shades that smooth, blur and even out skin tone. The newest of the hourglass primers and actually my least favourite of the three is the Ambient Light Correcting Primer. I will often use this onto cleansed skin as skincare and primer – often no need for anything else. A super elixir that is very oily in texture so be warned : not for those oily-combo babes out there. It has a combination of 28 different anti-ageing ingredients (hence the name bitches) including 14 essential oils, 10 lipid-rich plant oils & 4 vitamins. Vegan-friendly, oil-free, fragrance-free.įor Dry skins and mature skins, the No.28 Primer is the one I opt for as this is a lot more hydrating, nourishing and leaves the skin absolutely GLOWING. I find it particularly works well on a normal-oilier skin as it smooths pores, has a velvet finish, reduces redness and repels any water/humidity. Be careful on the amount you are applying, with the SPF 15 this can look visible on darker skin if you apply too much. It is a white translucent air-like fluid that goes colourless onto the skin and feels super smooth. I think really performs like it promises and keeps product locked onto the skin throughout the day. The Veil Mineral Primer has been on of my kit go-to’s and most used primers for many years. ![]() I *do* have all 3 for different needs of my clients, so here is the lowdown : They do x 3 primers at the moment : The infamous Veil Mineral Primer, The newer Ambient Light Correcting Primer and the lesser-known no 28 Primer Serum. I have done similar with NARS bases if you want to check that out here. I know it’s also a brand that isn’t everywhere and it can sometimes be difficult to get to a counter and/or try out the products so I just basically want to give you as much honest information possible. Probably one of the most-so that I regularly invest in for my kit. Hourglass is a very luxury (& pricey) cosmetics brand. Here, I am going through my favourites and not-so-favourites from ALL the bases and skin preps that they do, including swatches of all the foundations that I have. There are quite a few to choose from and as this is one of my favourite brands I have quite a good selection of the products in my kit and have been using Hourglass for around 6 years now. I wanted to do another brand focus to go a little more in-depth on the Hourglass Bases, primers & concealers.
