Hydra Veil Primer

I bought this as I found my normal moisturiser wasn't enough as I use powder foundation. It is brilliant at keeping my makeup on and looking fresh all day and I have dry skin. Some people said it slipped off, mine did untill I applied it with a brush, I think I was putting to much on with just fingers. Try playing with it, I love this primer it's now my go to.

I received this in my IPSY box and started using it before makeup. I’m 49 and have combination dry skin so I exfoliate and hydrate as it is a must. Let me just say this hydra-jel is just that it keeps the moisture locked in my skin so that my makeup...powders etc don’t strip it away. Ive noticed that my skin keeps its hydrated look and feel that no other product has in the past. For anyone who is having issues I would suggest a better exfoliating product and better moisturizer at least before applying this. If you have a hard layer of dry skin in your face its going to affect certain products from working properly and looking their best.

I got this product in my monthly Ipsy package and was skeptical on using it on my face due to my acne prone skin. Im scared to put it on my face because I dont need another acne mark but, something said just put it on top of your hand. When I did, my hand went from dry ashy skin to soft, smooth and moisturized. This work better than any hand moisturizer I have ever used. One day I will try it on my face but for now, this will be my favorite hand gel.

I'm not sure why a small group of people say these review must be lies. This is the best primer I've ever used, I had almost given up on primers all together because they cause me to break out into cystic acne. This dries fast, makes my make up look AMAZING and keeps my oil under control through the end of the day. It doesn't dry OUT my skin or feel goopy. It is probably best used with a makeup sponge rather than a brush.

I got a sample of this in my ipsy bag a couple months ago, since then I have bought it twice. This is hydrating but not too much and it makes your foundation go on better and last longer. Love this!!!

I received this product in my ipsy box and I usly just stick with my regular skin care products because I have sensitive skin and I'm acne prone. I also have combination skin 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️. So I would usually just give them away but my first thought was well this looks fancy 😂. It made me want to do some research so I went and read a few reviews not on here. Then i saw a youtube videos and i decided to give it a try. Well i absolutely love this stuff. It hydrates my skin, i love gel like texture, after every use it gives me such a glow and smooth skin. I know that it says to use it as a primer but I don't. I use it as a moisturizer before I go to bed and when I wake up. The way that it smoothed my skin i have noticed that it doesnt take as much foundation and this has only been a few days. I cant wait to see the results of using it for a long time. For all the people that threw theirs away I would have gladly taken it off your hands. I understand that not all products are made for everyone, we all have different skin types and textures and sensitivity. I am just glad that this works for me and I hope that you too find a product that works for you because there are only a few better feelings than waking up to beautiful healthy glowing skin. 🙌🏾🤞🏽💪🏾🥰

If you look deeper into the products uses and usage directions it says works best when mixed with (insert illamasqua product here) so I found if I mix it with either my regular daily moisturizer. Or one of my primers. Or both. It feels less tacky and doesn't dry and make you feel more dry because of the sticky tackiness. Also I got very different results when I applied with my hands and when I applied with a brush. Give it another try and play with it a little.

Received this item in my Ipsy monthly subscription. I tried it on the back of my hand first. It felt tacky, then made my hand feel very dry. I had gone through my normal morning skin care routine, and then followed the instructions on how to apply to my face. It dried so quickly and made my skin look like the Sahara. My makeup would not blend at all. I washed my face again and skipped moisturizer (thinking that it may not have played well with the Hydra Veil), and started over. Got the same result. Had high hopes, but I'm tossing it out.

 I got this product in my Ipsy bag this month. If I use this product without makeup it’s ok. If I use it under my makeup it’s a hot mess. I had somewhere to go tonight I decided to give it another try. Let’s just say I took it off as fast as I put it on. My makeup was cakey, splotchy and downright ugly. When I took it off an redid my makeup without it . My makeup looked good. This is a no go for me. I won’t be using this no more. It’s to sticky in the first place. I’m 38 an this under makeup made me look 43 years old. That’s what I was told when I wore it the other day. When I don’t use it I look in my 20’s. This made my dry skin a hot mess. Sorry but this is my honest answer.

Easy to apply, dries in no time. Good base for foundation and lasts. Gives a smooth appearance and lines and pores not so obvious. Good price for the amount you get. Only need a small amount for whole face.
