Today I am going to review an absolutely fabulous product that I feel is a must for all...young and old. You might of already see some of the hype about it or this might be your first introduction to the product. I am talking about Illamasqua's first skin care product, Hydra Veil.
The product comes in a very stylish pot that completely represents the brand. The sales woman who I spoke to was very helpful in explaining the product to its fullest, stating that the gel formula aim to hydrate the skin whilst creating the perfect primer for foundation.
Hydra-Veil come with the cutest spoon which illustrates just how little product is needed to cover the whole face. Which means that the price tag of £27 is well worth it, am predicting that it will last a long time.
The texture of the product is a gel that is highly refreshing, smooth and hydrating. You can literally feel the gel rehydrating your skin without making it feel slippery or too wet as the product glides on and absorbs effortlessly.
It is an unusual formula that when is mixed turns into a jelly like substance however after leaving it to sit for a minute returns to it original glass like gel mixture.
Which is what happens on the skin, goes on smooth as glass it. I tested this product on both myself and my mother who immediately felt a difference in her skin and visibly saw a difference in her lines and wrinkles, seeing them smoother and reduced.
For myself, after applying the gel and then my makeup over the top I found the result incredible. I found that it created a perfect balance on my skin between rehydrating and creating an even surface for my foundation which meant that it created a flawless finish. My skin was smoother and my foundation lasts longer and prevented the foundation from flaking in areas or gathering in facial lines. Its absolutely perfect for combination skin types that suffer from patches of dehydrated skin as it balances out the skin. It also work fabulously with Illamasqua's own Skin base foundations.
All in all I believe the product is a must for all makeup artists and makeup lovers!
Below is an example of my makeup when wearing Hydra Veil under the foundation....
