HOURGLASS MINERAL VEIL PRIMER REVIEW! AND HOURGLASS FOUNDATION BRUSH!

[@Zimismom]

I've wanted to get Hourglass stuff for so long because of all the AMAZING reviews. But seriously their prices are daylight freaking robbery

[@DevanEvie]

My skin is very, very oily and this primer keeps my makeup on! My skin is sensitive also and this hasn't irritated it. Make sure you shake it before each use otherwise it WILL separate and come out milky. One pump covers your entire face and if you're looking for a cheaper primer (kinda) with SPF, try the CoverFX SPF 30 Protection Primer (my other favorite). It helps makeup glide on smooth, keeps it on with oily skin, and provides sun protection.

[@makeupplz]

I had a sample of the primer that I used twice and it literally changed my skin. I don't know how, but after using it my face has stayed soft and looks brighter. I normally have very dry, dull, and flaky skin and I normally avoid wearing make up in general because I just can't handle how bad my skin looks. I'm not sure what's in this, but it's made a dramatic difference, and even though I wish it were cheaper, I'm happy to dish out the money for it. I love it.

[@yzeevee]

I COULD NOT AGREE MORE. I was not a believer in primer before I got a sample of this. I cannot live without this! It's very expensive. ($25 for 10mL and $69 for 30mL in Australia) but I think it's worth the money.

[@Showponieful]

There is really no primer like this one! I'm obsessed. It feels amazing, like silk on the skin, and it can be used as an eye primer as well! If you have dry skin the No. 28 primer from Hourglass is chock full of good for you oils and it also makes your makeup last and last PLUS it can be used as a serum, too. Big fangirl over here.

[@jessm101]

Do you still love this primer?! It’s now 2018 so I’m curious if you’ve found a better one, or if I should just buy this one :)

[@lilly4069]

Jessica Morehead it’s amazing

[@lseeber01]

Just a bit of a price update.. here in the US at Ulta, the lg bottle is now $58.00. Which I did pay but I'm on the lookout for an equally good primer with a better price. I do love this stuff.

[@alouise3557]

HUDA. It's silicone based though. But my lines under my eyes are gone all day. I'm almost 50.

[@lseeber01]

@@alouise3557 I'm 67 and it works great on me. I use a bit of translucent powder over it to keep it from any settling.

[@jessicavmbell]

I just got the primer sample as a gift in the Christmas ambient light palette and when I first tried it I was totally in love! Now.. Watching it on bare skin (thank you very much for showing that) I did notice how it defused the light beautifully! It is in a way similar to the Laura mercier mineral primer. Wow on the price tag but what a beautiful product!

[@TheScarlett]

This lasts a long time for me and I have repurchased it many times. It is $52 in the US and I consider it a holy grail product. My makeup always looks better with it than without and I use less foundation because it glides on thanks to this.

[@VixxVicky]

This primer is AMAZING! It also makes any foundation you put on waterproof. It's great to pair off with powder makeup because it helps so that powder foundations don't transfer off. I've noticed with liquid foundations there is a slight transfer but the primer is amazing. It leaves your skin feeling silky and smooth. If you can afford the full size primer from Hourglass they do sell a small travel size it's about $18 in the US. Check out their new N. 28 serum/ primer! Great for dry skin.

[@BentoBoxHoarder]

The Hourglass mineral veil primer is the best primer I've ever tried, great for oily skin like mine, absolute love! I have tried many, many and nothing compares to my Hourglass one.Yes it is pricey, but it lasts me about 6-7 months, and one pump is enough for my entire face.

[@VickiCabrera]

My mom has that primer, its her favorite. Leaves your skin so so soft too.

[@LittleAmyHe]

What I love about Hourglass is how ingredient conscious they are and they never put out "flops" (unless you are allergic of course), but yes it is expensive. Though I like to see their face primers almost as skin care products since they put very nice ingredients in it.

[@Yingrak33]

This primer is fantastic!...I had tried many other brands before, none of them worked for me. I live in Southeast Asia where the climate is generally (super) hot and humid. my skin gets so oily but hourglass does it job amazingly. I'd rate it 9.5/10 for its quality. The only down point is the price. Too expensive. But I might re-purchase it. We'll see.

[@iianhthuiii]

I'm so happy you reviewed this! I got this primer last year after getting suckered in at the counter at Bloomingdales. I really like it, but i wasn't sure if it was worth to purchase since it's SOOOO expensive! I just been dying to know if you like it too! and you do! yay!!

[@DeniseGarcia77]

What's your favorite primer, for oily skin?

[@LeeanaAwa]

This primer is EXCELLENT. Not only does it really keep your makeup intact but it also makes your skin better over time (especially for those with dry skin, like me! :D ), If you guys want a sample of this, go to Sephora (store not online) and they would get you a sample that would last you for 2 WEEKS! It was simply one of the greatest things that happened to my skin 10/10 would definitely recommend.

[@cillacilla8994]

I actually have this primer and I like it as much as benefit precessional.

[@loufromlou]

I have tried many primers. I have acneic skin; congested, oily, red, large pores, etc. This primer is hands down the greatest. The lady at Sephora talked me into buying MUF Primer because it's cheaper and she said all primers do the same thing but it's garbage compared to this. it breaks my heart how expensive it is but it makes my skin look so much better. it's to die for if you are trying to achieve great skin. also holds up EXCELLENTLY in heat, humidity...sigh. need to go buy a bottle :))

[@ellerye698]

You always know how to state a review perfectly and this was another honest and right on point review!

[@ltlsofibaby]

I've been using this primer for about a year and i love it. very good for people with acne. i just wish it was cheaper.

[@LisaNuth2006]

i have been loving the hourglass primer, recently. i do think it's the best primer i have ever used. and the loreal primer is an awesome drugstore favorite of mine also, for ppl that need a good drugstore primer.

[@mariappalala]

Agreed!! I love the mineral primer!

[@QuelleQuelleMarie]

I could never find a primer that worked. They all seem to make my foundation go on cakey. I got a sample of this primer and I was expecting it not to work. Surprisingly, it works really, really well. No caking, make up lasts forever. But the price! I hate the price! I just cannot find a dupe. But it works so well I will just have to spend the money. Boo!

[@Lavandelover]

This is the best primer I have found to date and I have tried them all.

[@robh6613]

What is a good primer for dry skin and pores? I seem to try ones that are moisturizing but does nothing to hide pores and the ones that hide pores are too drying!! Very frustrating and confusing in this cosmetic world... Any comments would be welcomed, thanks.

[@xotennisxgirlox]

Rob H a lot of people with dry skin like the too faced hangover primer

[@aliyacxopp4036]

Bobbi brown face base primer the one Jeffree Star always talks about I bought it a month ago and I loveeee it I use it with a sponge

[@kimr6482]

I have both products, primer and brush, and love both BUT agree they are a bit over-priced. And it's funny you mention the brush not holding any makeup/bacteria; I use the Sephora daily anti-bacteria brush cleaner and hardly any products come off the Hourglass brush when I swipe it on my paper towel! It makes so much sense now, I wasn't aware! Thanks!

[@Moosemania100]

I bought the small purse size for $17, I just couldn't do $52! Looking forward the tinted moisturizer review, love that! Excellent coverage for a tinted moisturizer.

[@TheRedStilleto]

Thank you for your honesty. You look great in that cranberry-ish color you are wearing! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

[@einsteinzvice517]

Using a silk pillowcase (or satin) will help prevent those annoying "sleep-creases!" :-) Luv @ YOU, W.G.! :-)

[@cindypltnm]

I purchased this brush at my local Sephora. It is pricey, but I rather invest in quality brushes over time then crappy ones. And this is a good one for my liquid/cream products.

[@BeautyAndComicBooks]

I always love these videos, you give an honest opinion about the product and it's value for the money. Thank you :)

[@blondiexox]

I just bought this primer. Just waiting for it in the mail. Is it better to use with a brush or your hands?

[@scottishroad35]

Yay I have this!! Thanks for the review and the advice. I had put it aside bc I forgot why I even bought it. Still waiting in that revlon review. I have it and love it

[@jasi121793]

i use this primer and the foundation from the same brand and it is the only combo that doesn't break me out , i love it even though it is so expensive but i find that the set will last me awhile

[@sianmcgrath2196]

I love how honest you are in your videos! I really want to try this primer but the price tag is stopping me from getting it. Would this primer work on oily to combination skin?

[@callmebigpoppa92]

you are so right even right here in the us its so freaken expensive. just for a primer. there is really food primers for way cheaper. i have tried this one in sample size and it is good but i prefer other primers with a better price tag.

[@mpineda713]

Love that primer. i had a sample of it and it seriously made my foundation last all day. Am trying different primers and none can beat the hourglass primer. I hate that i tried it because it's so expensive and now i want to go buy it lol.

[@kaisantiagocosmetics]

THE BEST PRIMER I HAVE EVER USED IN MY LIFE!!!!!!

[@Ishouldntbehere6]

I love the colour of your sweater! looks good on you :)

[@gracew2450]

Love this primer and I do find the SPF 15 does give me protection because I have missed spots before near my hairline and definitely seen a bit of sunburn

[@ocandro]

You need a very thiiiick layer of spf to get the advertised protection. Primer is probably the single product that we use in the tiniest amounts and this particular one only has spf 15, so you probably end up with spf of freaking 3 in the end. Your hairline burned, because it's when we catch the most sun. Makeup products only protect your skin, when they claim really high factor and you use them on cloudy, dark days.

[@Cirandadebeleza]

Wayne, I love your videos, I am subscribed to both your channels and the daily mix TV. Could you pretty please do a Video on your favourite primers as well as a video about lipsticks that make our teeth look whiter showing examples pleaaase? Whenever I search for this type of lipsticks I only find posts about red lipsticks, but I wanted to see a wider range of blue toned lipsticks. Either way, thank you for your videos and your time! Love from your biggest brazillian fan =)

[@cindyrellla10]

Thank you. What do you think is a good dupe for this primer? I would have to repurchase if I don't find something similar. Love your videos ;)

[@shmoopiedo]

I like this primer alot. I especially like that it has spf so that I don't need an extra layer of product on my face. I bought the small size to try but I don't think I would repurchase because of the price.

[@ag10v]

I love this primer. It's the one I've ever used that actually kept my oily skin from destroying whatever I had used that day. Is there a comparable cheaper alternate?

[@lOVely5liTTle5me]

your skin already looks flawless

[@Lulumaikalani]

Hi Wayne, I just purchased the foundation brush & the Veil foundation. So far, so good. What primer, other than the Hourglass primer, would you recommend? Thanks so much - Becky

[@thankful516]

I recently purchased the hourglass stick foundation & I absolutely love it. I have oily skin and visible pores. I got a sample of this primer because it was so expensive , I just wanted to make sure it was worth it. I have been using the benefit pores no more and it works well enough and they also came out with a gel pore mattifier that I am interested in trying. Anyway I love the way this hourglass goes on and I feel it lasts all day ( I use primer, then stick, a little powder and spray setting water). Is there any better primer before I go all in and buy the big tube of this? thank you

[@sams517]

thankful516 a lot of people say the nyx angel veil is a dupe

[@BentoBoxHoarder]

I'm surprised it is so much higher in the UK, here in the US is about $52 dollars, seems like they forgot to do the conversion! So for $52 it is totally worth it especially if you've tried many others and nothing has worked. Their tinted moisturizer is also amazing, it actually provides med to full coverage, so very pigmented which means you use less product. The brand is worth the price tag, in my opinion, because their products deliver and contain skin nutrients, which most brands don't.

[@christifiedlerhomes]

I love this primer! It is the only primer that hasn't caused breakuots...

[@ShinyFini]

Could you do a review on the Too Faced Pure Primer. The oil free one in the white tube. Thanks and I love your videos!

[@MminaMaclang]

Wish you showed closeup comparisons as well of the same cheek when it was bare, and when the primer is on. Because there are different types of primers, right, and some of them are about smoothing out texture and diffusing the light so pores aren't as visible, and some of them don't do that but are intended for moisture to make sure your foundation doesn't cling onto dry patches. Every review of this has said that it looks pretty, it's got a nice feel, but nobody has specified what type of primer it is and what effect it had on them.

[@TalaveraEvelyn]

I wish it didn't have SPF I just think its pointless my moisturizer has a high SPF and I don't like using primers and foundations with SPF I feel like it will mess with the SPF I already had on

[@roseytrax]

+Eve Talavera it doesn't mess with other spf............ only the higher spf is doing the job, they don't add up or anything

[@sams517]

Eve Talavera it’s only spf 15 which is basically ineffective

[@redrudy8t3]

love that you noted SPF issues. great when SPF in cheaper products as you front mind being liberal with product! 52 pounds would warrant a miniscule amount used each time!

[@leilahniannelle2835]

Luv ur honesty!!! It's very appreciated!

[@sassygurl129]

Thnx for another wonderful review! However I'm surprised that this didn't make you break out! I have super greasy skin, and this primer acted more like a pore clogger more than anything for me. :/

[@glp113]

It's actually one of my favorite primers, but I do think it's too expensive, especially when there are other good primers out there for less money. It does work, though.

[@seoeunkang]

Thank you so much. I always enjoy watching your videos. By the way, how much primer should I use? Is it like foundation that where I need more coverage, I should use more primer?

[@briannarae44]

I remember you saying that you loved the philosophy primer. Do you still prefer the philosophy over the mineral veil? Or is the mineral veil better?

[@PositivelyNice]

I like how you gave an objective view instead of pure crazy rave.

[@jgomez9600]

What primer is worth the money & works well in your opinion

[@eviegirl1029]

I turned to HD just in order to see the lines you mentions! Still! you are brilliant!

[@thatjwgurl]

i have sensitive Oily Skin and this is My favorite Primer

[@stef140286]

wayne, can u tell me what it is exactly you use to clean your brushes as I want to buy some but i am unsure what to get x

[@littlemisscute1]

i second kaitlyn, which do you think is the best primer?

[@brendagoetz6752]

What type of primer do you like the best? Thanks for the review:)

[@MultiBigbird01]

I'm planning on buying the £17 travel size version from cult beauty. I do want to know though if it can be used with water-based foundations such as my fave bobbi brown skin foundation, as the description for the product says it is water-repellant, plus do you think it is good for oilier skin?

[@fancyfaceb]

Good review. Can you also review/talk about the Hourglass 28 primer? Thanks!

[@ohsaudi]

thank u i've been waiting for hourglass foundation review

[@daliae4433]

Does the primer cause flashback in flash photography?

[@avadakedavra019]

Yes

[@TheMDenae]

Yes SPF is what causes flashback

[@nhimcool]

I'm new to make up, in the effort trying to control my very oily skin (eyelid, near ears area...all are very oily). Can I just apply this then put loose powder on top? I don't need any coverage, just need to get my skin matted. Thanks in advance.

[@xnobzx]

52 Pounds! That's the equivalent of $84.30 American! So glad that Hourglass is cheaper here in the states. It's $52 here, which is still pricey but not too crazy. Now I know why Lisa Eldridge and Pixiwoo always go on about how Hourglasses is a ultra luxury brand whenever they use one of their products!

[@coldsoba5859]

U have a really nice complexion :D

[@serenayoung9099]

I just bought this for my oily skin as I'm doing my own w doing makeup. I was f aware it has SPF as I've been told SPF ruins wedding photos. Any insight on this? It's so expensive, and I've spent a long time looking for something for my skin type.

[@taspany]

Wayne, I have quite ugly acne scars (at least I think they are :) ). Not really an issue of scar tissue of different colour. More like many small deep holes especially on my cheekbone area, which is very unattractive since it's the area that stands out... Which primer would you recommend for deep core concealing? Also my skin tends to be oily but easily dehydrated.

[@leeesuhx3]

This primer is my favorite!

[@cindypltnm]

yes, it is the brush. Great brush as well;)

[@jennaXhye818]

i want this so bad! i have the lancome la bse which is like 7 bucks cheaper & doesnt work for me, so i think im gonna splurge and get this

[@mrskaa7584]

I love Hourglass, but I just cannot afford it as a daily primer. I keep a small bottle for use on special occasions, and fortunately, most special occasions occur later in the day or at night so I don't have to worry about the spf issue either.

[@khyberkarn]

BBB41414 I really couldn't afford to buy this but it was so amazing when it was demonstrated on me that I parted with my money. Actually it worked out as a great investment cos it makes my high street L'Oréal foundation look fantastic so in a way it stopped me from forking out on a more expensive Nars foundation I had my eye on! I'm very pleased with it and the quality is fantastic!

[@lyssaScruz]

i've checked this stuff from sephora its very expensive .. i dont think i can afford to buy this primer .. pls recommend a dupe primer similar to hourglass thank you wayne .. happy holidays :)

[@MarijaTravels]

Sephora's matt primer is great!

[@InqSheen]

Hi Wayne, would you say that foundation would oxidize less on your skin with this primer? Foundations oxidize really badly on my face. Thank you

[@jubaliciousdelicious]

Amazing as always! xx

[@badlydoneemma8736]

it looks as if it could leave dark skin with an ashy afterglow so maybe more suitable for lighter/paler skin

[@sophiallewellyn3322]

I do use this mineral veil it is great (THE BEST) and very pricey but do you know of any other primer that is this good that you can recommend?

[@roselynriley]

can you do a review on what type of brushes are best for mineral foundation? kabuki, powderbrush etc. i have trubbel finding one that gives good coverage and dont waste alot of product. =/

[@Gkimberly34]

gossmakeupchat does this primer control oils throughout the day? I've heard some say it is really good for oily skin, but if you could please reply Wayne, i really trust your honest reviews and would like to know if it would be worth the money or are there other primers that do help with oily face that are inexpensive, thanks :)

[@caitlynvu9257]

Late reply but omg yes! I have oily skin and I love wearing dewy foundation ,but I'm always afraid to wear it due to my oily skin. But, with this primer underneath, my oil is at bay and I can wear dewy foundations without having to worry about touching up my skin

[@Gkimberly34]

Caitlyn Vu so you would say that it is worth every penny? and don't worry about the late reply lol

[@caitlynvu9257]

Oh most definitely. I just repurchased another bottle yesterday. No other primer compares to this one when it comes to controlling my oil and making my makeup last.

[@Gkimberly34]

Caitlyn Vu oh well thank you so much, i think i'll be purchasing one myself :)

[@TalaveraEvelyn]

The smashbox photo finish light helps with oily skin and I like that primer though I tried the hourglass one on my hand and made my skin look healthy and luminous

[@imhyperjuice]

My favorite primer.

[@Makeuplite]

Aawww...I hope you feel better soon! Much love

[@sudariahick27]

what would be a very good brush set that i can buy? i've been looking for brush sets and the hakuhodo brushes is what I have my eye on but are their brush sets good or the individual? thank you

[@destinattencs]

Wayne what would in your opinion be a product that works just as we'll as the hourglass veil?

[@Arain606]

Does the primer work with all types of foundation ?? Meaning ones containing oil and ones that are oil free? Thanks

[@genbabez]

Can u review the foundation. I returned mine bc I did not like it and I'm curious to hear you opinion. I returned the mineral veil foundation

[@freshminttea8488]

Hi Wayne..compare to Becca Cosmetics Ever Matte Poreless Primerwhich one better?please..thank you..

[@kittykittycatkat]

would u recommend a cheaper primer that does a fantastic job?:)

[@ahx1234]

I believe he uses 'Beauty so clean' and surgical spirit/rubbing alcohol, he mentioned in previous videos

[@DennyBoyXo]

I wonder. Should I, or should I not use moisturizer before putting this primer on? Since I have very oily skin.. Hmm.. help!

[@Jessie.Marie.x3]

Regardless of your skin type, you must ALWAYS moisturizer your skin. Just make sure you use the correct products suited for your skin type.

[@missrockandrolla]

Hi Wayne, is the primer good to use on brides (with the SPF and all)?

[@mariaqintas]

Somebody tried this primer with mac face and body and can tell me if it works together?

[@tairamalby1064]

what primer would you recommend instead?
