I received a sample of this primer through Beautytap. I absolutely love this primer . It’s very hydrating, not thick, but very light on the skin. Perfect for any skin type, but I have dry and sensitive skin. At first it feels somewhat like a refreshing moisturizer that melts right into your skin. It is not heavy at all and just has the perfect “tackiness” to it in order to be a primer. My foundation went on flawlessly and stayed put my whole 12 hour day. I will definitely buy this primer as I have spent a lot more money on primers that don’t work half as well. My makeup looks flawless and I receive compliments on my makeup when I use this as my primer. Definitely hides large pores and keeps me from looking dry, as some primers do under my foundation.

This Hydra Veil Primer from Illamasqua works as a perfect canvas before makeup application! It has a clear gel-like consistency that glides on like a dream. The best part about it is it’s hydrating properties. I love that it’s infused with vitamin B3 and C along with plant extracts. Not many primers also act like skincare! Did I mention it helps smooth the skin and minimizes the look of large pores? Yes! Another positive is that you can apply this right up to the lash line and I love that because I’ll put my concealer on top of it and the result I get is amazing! The brand is also cruelty-free which is something I look for when buying my skincare. So, whether you’re a makeup artist or not, this primer is going to enhance your overall makeup application and finished look!! #highlyrecommend

Okay you need to try this! Let me tell you, the texture that this hydrating face primer gives you is pure buttery smooth skin! when you apply this product you will notice a slight cooling on the skin because of the jelly texture (jelly with no bounce) then once it’s fully absorbed the product makes the skin feel so soft and non sticky, with zero residue. Which is why I think it works so well under makeup. It’s clear so it won’t warp your skin tone or mess with any makeup routine. This is a win win for me, hydration and pore filling couldn’t ask for more. I like it so much I’m keeping one for myself and buying another to add to my makeup kit. I know my clients will love this! I feel like this will do well with mature skin because it’s so light weight and sits inside the skin a lot more that any other typical pore filling product.
