Primers are broadly divided into moisturizing, oil-controlling, touch-up, pore-covering, and hourglass primers. If you're craving a primer that can flawless your base and make you look beautiful without a smile, Hourglass is the secret weapon that can make that difference. It combines the strengths of all primers on the market, and every application is like grabbing foundation into the skin, making it blend perfectly, not only for a delicate finish, but also to improve the overall wear.
 
Compared with YSL and Bobbi Brown, the Mineral Primer takes acne skin care into account in more detail, and is oil-free, alcohol-free, colorant-free, and friendly to acne-sensitive skin. Its super oil control ability is also a highlight, using mineral-based ingredients to absorb excess oil, and at the same time, the upper face film is waterproof, laying a smooth foundation for subsequent base makeup, with excellent makeup holding effect, and can easily cope with occasions that need to wear makeup for a long time, which is very suitable for users with oily and combination skin.
 
For enlarged pores, the Soft Veil Mineral Primer is different from Benefit's anti-pore elite upper face with a strong silica feel, it will not have the discomfort of clogged pores, but will naturally focus pores and fine lines, making the subsequent base makeup smoother. The soft yarn mineral primer has a white emulsion texture, smooth and easy to push, the skin feels refreshing and non-greasy, has a slight whitening and brightening effect, and will not whiten, it is enough to apply the whole face by pressing it, and too much primer at one time will affect the makeup effect, 30ml reference price is 450 yuan.
 
N°28 Primer Serum is a primer for dry skin. Enriched with a variety of botanical and essential oils, it has a viscous, transparent gel-like texture that spreads and moisturizes even the most matte, driest foundations. At the same time, this primer is also the perfect partner of the brand's seamless foundation stick, and the two can be used together for a more comfortable application. However, its large amount of oily ingredients can make oily skin feel oily and stuffy, so choose it with caution for oily skin. The reference price of this 30ml base serum is 550 yuan.
 
Both Hourglass primers are packaged in press-on glass bottles for a beautiful and easy to use. In addition to the 30ml format, there is also an 8ml travel size, which can also be purchased as a sample.
 
Hourglass was founded in 2004 by Carisa Janes, former Creative Director of Makeup at Urban Decay. With its excellent product experience and luxurious packaging, Hourglass has become a new luxury brand in the makeup industry, on a par with Dior and Lancome, but still keeping a low profile. Hourglass's makeup products are most famous for lipsticks, blushes, and base makeup, with prices ranging from 300 yuan to 1,000 yuan, and in addition to being sold through Sephora, the brand has also entered high-end retail platforms such as Harrod's, Barneys New York, and Bluemercury.
