Evens skintone, takes a while to spread - 11.17.09
Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing, expensive, slightly light white in shade, blends well with med olive/tan

This goes on firstly a little light white and then blends into the skin. Since my skin tone is a med olive/tan complexion, the color is slightly light for me but not a deal breaker since my foundation goes over it anyway. This primer evens skin tone but takes a little while to spread (with a brush) all over the face and neck (or it’s just me).

Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight

This is a great primer, however I returned it because I purchased this with the toner and the makeup.... When I got home the makeup had been opened before I bought it and the toner had an expiration date, due to expire in a month.... I paid a lot of money for these and expect to have unused products when I get home with them. Also, I live 30 miles away and had to go back to return them... Employes should be checking shelf life of they're products and making sure they have not been opened before they give them to you....

Terrific! - 10.31.09
Quick Take: lightweight, fast-absorbing

This is the best primer I've found and I've tried them all - NARS, Laura Mericer, Smashbox, Urban Decay, ect. I was worried by the white color - I'm Asian - but it went on like a charm. It hold my foundation better than anything else I've tried. Just outstanding.

Pros/Cons - 10.01.09
Quick Take: smoothing

Love this primer, and have tried many! Really smooths out my skin and makes makeup - especially under-eye concealer - go on smoothly and stay on. Also love that it has SPF. Only con is that is does make me break out in my acne-prone areas. So I only use it in areas where I don't tend to break out.

Great primer! - 09.30.09
Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing

I have used other primers before - Smashbox and CoverFX. While those products are quite good, I am even happier with this one. Now that I am a bit older, the Veil Mineral Primer works well with my skin - the perfect balance of making my skin look smooth and helping my foundation go on flawlessly. Thank you, Hourglass!

Perfect! - 09.29.09
Quick Take: lightweight

Worth the money. The veil is weightless and slik. Fills in all the little *ahem* cracks. After putting the hourglass fioundation on top, my skin looks airbrushed and not 'heavy'. Perfect!

Okay but not a must have - 09.19.09
Quick Take: lightweight

I like that this primer has SPF. It's lightweight, absorbs easily. Makeup goes on smoothly. However, later in the day, this product fails the test. It does not prevent makeup from settling into fine lines. I think it almost makes it worse.

Most amazing product I have tried yet - 09.10.09
Quick Take: lightweight, fast-absorbing, unbelievably amazing

This primer is amazing! i Love it. And everyone i have shown it to, or tired it out on has gone out and bought it right away. It is the best primer because it is a liquid that goes to a powder. It leaves your skin feeling like silk. It is not a silicon base which is better for your skin and decreases breakouts.

So Soft, Great Pore-minimizer - 09.09.09
Quick Take: lightweight, fast-absorbing

The primer feels AMAZING on the skin. It's light & instantly turns powdery. One pump goes a long way. It noticeably makes the pores smaller.

I bought this primer with the new Bare Minerals Matte foundation (which is powder, not liquid) & these two products together seem to make my face TOO POWDERY. The primer works MUCH BETTER with liquid foundation & then a powder set as opposed to a powder-only foundation. I hope this makes sense...

Quick Take: lightweight

This stuff is definately good for your skin and it makes your skin feel so silky once applied. however, i'm not sure it makes my make up last any longer. i still preferr smashbox photofinish primer for that.

long lasting, does not clog pores, no breakouts - 08.16.09
Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing

I tried smashbox, philosophy, laura mercier primers and this one is by far the best and highest quality. it is very light, and is absorbed by your skin very quickly. no residue or oiliness. the best part: no break outs - all other primers made my acne-prone skin break out at the end of the day. i use lancome teint idole foundation which is already long lasting. with this primer, it lasts for over 14 hours!

Primer - 08.16.09
Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing

It is a good product. I use it to prior to setting my face with Hourglass mineral moisturizer. It leaves my face super soft and not oily at all. I gave it 4 stars as It is a bit pricey but a little goes a long way. I am still in search of the perfect primer that will erase all imperfections and fine lines completely.

Love this Primer! - 08.10.09
Quick Take: fast-absorbing, oil absorbing!

This is the best primer I've used them all, Smashbox, Laura Mericier, you name it. This feels absolutely wonderful going on and really keeps my very oily prone skin in check all day. Make-up lasts longer with this and looks fresher. I'm really impressed and love the SPF 15, just wish that was a bit higher. This is worth the money.
