Microalgae, vitamin C and B3 work together to help maintain the skin's hydration levels, creating a healthy-looking, balanced finish. Plant extracts also provide a calming and refreshing feeling, leaving skin fully prepped to apply your complexion products. Pro Tip From Illamasqua Head Makeup Artist - Mel Barrese: Hydra Veil is the ultimate lightweight, gel primer to help smooth and hydrate skin, giving you the perfect base for makeup. Underneath foundation, it will smooth away any unwanted texture, such as fine lines and open pores, and will give your makeup increased long wear. I apply a small amount using my fingers, on top of cleansed, moisturised skin, ensuring the most amount of product is around the T-Zone and then blend out. After a few seconds, the freshly primed skin will be ready for your foundation application. How to Use ☼ AM / ☽ PM When to Use: Prior to foundation application, use the spoon provided to apply one scoop to the palm of your hand. Using a foundation or highlighter brush, gently brush the product from your hand and apply all over the face, right up to the lash line until the product is absorbed.
This guide is for anyone looking to achieve a flawless makeup base with the Illamasqua Hydra Veil Primer. It's perfect for those seeking hydration and a smooth canvas, leading to longer-lasting makeup. Keep in mind that while it works well for most skin types, those with extremely oily skin may need to adjust their application for optimal results.
