Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer SPF 15 Review

I picked up this mighty primer upon curiosity. I got the travel size (0.33 oz) and it is packaged beautifully in a frosted glass bottle, the full sized (1 oz.) is packaged the same way. Powered up with naturally derived titanium dioxide and zinc oxide instead of chemical sun-blocking agents helps prevent the skin from sun damage. However, beware of having white cast upon applying this primer. Veil Mineral Primer is totally fragrance-free! I just love how it doesn't smell like how sunblocks usually do! 

my almost empty mighty primer *sobs*

 I would admit that this mineral-based and water resistant primer actually prolongs makeup wear. Plus it helps to smooth out skin surface and fill in pores. I still get oily after hours of being in humid, hot climate. But this primer just tend to extend makeup wear. And I feel my face appears brighter with this primer! The Veil Mineral Primer won't efficiently reduce any redness or discoloration, you will still need more coverage to hid those. I was experiencing some dryness around my mouth and nose. They were flaking like crazy and I tried applying this primer after my usual skincare routine. I wasn't surprised that it didn't do much for the dryness or flakiness nor did making it worse. Those with drier skin might want to extra moisturize before putting on this primer and makeup afterwards.

This Veil Mineral Primer feels satin smooth and quickly disappears into skin. On my first trial of this primer I was pretty shock that it really sinks into skin super fast, like in seconds fast! Upon initial application it will leave a slightly white cast (due to its color) but it's nothing to worry much about. Some might say it lighten the color of foundation that applied afterwards. I tried the Chanel Perfection Lumiere with and without this primer and overall the color stayed pretty much similar. A tad darker shade of face powder will do the trick!

Best thing of all, you need just a teeny tiny bit of product for the whole face! One pump is enough! For those who's getting the full size doesn't need to worry about splurging in this product because it will last for a very long time. I loveeee this primer and would buy the full bottle when my travel size officially runs out! <3
