Like a Second Skin--But So Much Prettier!
It's not often that I use a fluid foundation, especially at this time of year, when I like to pare down my beauty routine and concentrate on fun and new, flattering brighter colors. Lancôme's Renergie Lift Makeup SPF 20 is an exception here--I use it in place of their "Dual Finish Versatile Powder Makeup" when I'm seeking a softer, more moisturized look. After experimenting with Hourglass Cosmetics' amazing "Ambient Lighting Powders," I moved on to some of their other products. Hourglass puts quality above everything. The hefty price tag justifies the purchase, even for those on a budget, as the products I've used have far exceeded the claims they have made. Recently I couldn't resist the lovely color of their "Veil Fluid Makeup SPF 15" in Ivory ($60.00 at Sephora), a light shade with the perfect pink undertone for my coloring. There are far more benefits besides the shade. The formula itself is very rich, yet completely oil-free. It has ingredients to support the body's natural ability to produce collagen, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and Skin Tightener ST™ PH to enhance your complexion's appearance (who couldn't love that?). It was shown to have a lifting effect on forehead furrows and wrinkles around the eyes. Moreover, Hourglass' Veil is created without harmful Parabens, Sulfates, and Phthalates, along with potentially irritating fragrances. The feel is luxurious and satiny, and a small amount does indeed go a long way. It will cover skin completely, disguising any imperfections quite well. Evidently the formula also contains ingredients to enhance illumination, as it gives me a lit-from-within glow which I love and is noticeable to others. I don't always use a foundation primer, and this stays in place for many long hours and through different conditions--cold, heat, and humidity. Although you can apply with your fingers or a sponge, it works best when you use a good foundation brush for a seamless, gorgeous finish. — 1 month, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Worth it!
I got a sample of this product before purchasing it. I loved the oxygen mineral foundation and thought I would give this a try. I used very little of it on my face. It spreads nicely and gives a very satiny finish. I put the oxygen mineral powder over this foundation. As a result, I loved it. I wore it all day through a busy amusement park. It really held up and looked fresh all day. Surprisingly it didn't lose its staying power. The only thing I'm not sure on is if its making me look orangey. This is expensive, but I think it is completely worth it. — 3 years, 12 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 7 people said helpful

Review subject
I love this foundation. I wear it everyday. A little does go a long way. Also it has little enhancers that makes your face look glowing. It is thick so sometimes I mix it with my day time moisturizer. It has excellent coverage without looking cakey. I do avoid putting it under my eyes because I do not want it to get into the fine lines. People often think I am not wearing foundation when I wear it. I use about a bottle in 3 months. The smell is non existent and it is very smooth and silky. There are only a few shades so if the color does not match you cannot use this brand. I put it on with my fingers because I think when I use the foundation brush I have to use too much product. I put a light transcluencent powder over. If I am going out then I will brush some pressed powder over as well. Overall, after searching for a foundation with enough coverage without looking too think, I have found one. — 7 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful
