Hourglass | Veil Translucent Setting Powder

Juli

Great

That powder doesn't make a miracle with your face, but it's amazing especially for dry skin. It doesn't concrete your make up like Becca or Laura Mercier, so I would not use that for party occasions but for daytime it's great. It gives a little healthy glow to your skin - doesn't leave a totally matte finish, and it perfectly blurs pores. Buying third can - because it's in my everyday make up routine.

Poreless, smoothed out complexion

I've never paid so much for a setting powder, but decided to give it a try, since I've heard good reviews about it. Spoiler alert: I'm so glad I took the splurge! This looks like magic on my skin! My skin looks flawless, poreless, smooth. Feels like velvet on the skin and doesn't mattify completely, making it look a bit more natural on the skin. It definitely is the best I've tried so far.

Stella

Sad

Bc of the great reviews I thought I give this powder a chance and I feel let down. The packaging is pretty and contains the powder well, which is why I gave it 3 stars. I currently have some dry patches on my cheeks and the powder make them look horrendous. In terms of blocking oiliness/shine it worked for about 30 minutes.

Emar

Love it!

I've always struggled with powders sitting on my face, looking cakey and not blending in well. Thought I'd try the travel size of this powder and oh my god I LOVE it! You only need a small amount to make your foundation stay all day and it doesn't look cakey on the skin. Once my travel size runs out I will deffo buy the full size. It looks expensive but with how little you need each time, it will last ages so is worth the money I feel.

Ren

In love!

This is THE POWDER. It's really like a magical veil and makes you glow. I don't need to try out anything else now, this product is what I need.

Rose

Stunning

I have many loose setting powders, from La Mer to Dior to Channel but this one- this Hourglass veil loose setting powder, she’s THAT GIRL

Myu

love it!

It is lightweight with a beautiful finish. Not cakey and a blurring effect. Gorgeous packaging.

Henriette

Super!

Paola

Gorgeous powder!

This powder really changed my makeup game. It is so finely milled and glowy, it sets the makeup beautifully without making the skin look dry and cakey, no matter how much you apply. My skin has never looked better. The only con is the packaging which I find a bit difficult to use without wasting product, but the performance of this powder is so extraordinary that I cannot rate it less than 5 stars!

Sandy

Disappointed

After reading lots of reviews and hesitating between this powder and the Laura Mercier, I decided to try the mini Hourglass. I am quite disappointed as the pot is not really convenient, difficult to get some powder. The powder is ok but can’t see a difference with my other ones. Don’t understand why everyone loves the product. Next time will try the LM.

Svitlana

Amazing!!!

This product is amazing, so soft and silky. It looks very nice on my oily skin, I love the finish, I love all in this powder.

Kathy

What a shame

Nope, not great for me. Sadly. I loved it - the texture is so pretty and silky but my dry and skin and powders, even this powder, just don't mix. It was drying and a it clung to patches of dryness around my chin and on my nose. Very expensive and lovely if you are normal to oily I think but I am dry dry dry and it's a no for me.

Nika

Absolutely fantastic

I've never believed that a veil/powder could produce such great results - whenever I apply it (even if it is only on BB cream), my skin is smooth and looks absolutely perfect. I'm glad that I went for a full sized product because it is my new Holy Grail.

W

It is The best powder I have ever had

It is really beautiful, it has a matte finish, but it is not cakey

Gabi B

Good loose powder

Great for under the eyes, and the travel size is good for someone on the go (you, however, need a brush to pair with). I only need it under the eyes and nose, since I do not get oily / require brightening in other places. The top is great since it has a sift to distribute the right amount and not make a mess everywhere. I would not use all over on the daily (maybe for a special occasion), so travel size is best.

Nuria

Very good

I purchased the travel size to have a try on this. I absolutely love the result in my combination skin. The powder is really thin and does not seem powdery at all. My makeup stays hours.

Julia

I believe the hype now

My skin is very, very dry but I still need powder to set my dewy foundation. Everything I have tried so far just made my skin cakey and my dry patches were horribly visible. No matter how much I put on, I haven’t got the distant feeling of a ‘powder face’, my under eye area doesn’t crease but my face is so smooth and my foundation is set. My face feels so smooth, not powdery at all when you wake up in the morning with fresh skin. Actually, that is the best description of how my face feels. Sold.

Grazinute

Amazing

Amazing powder, I'm very happy.

Binnie001

Love this!

Love this setting powder, it doesn’t make me cakey at all and sets my make up beautiful. A little on the higher end in terms of price but I do love it!

Anónimo

Maravillosos!!!

Poco más hay que decir sobre estos polvos: son finísimos por lo que no aportan nada de textura. Los uso a diario aunque si voy a estar muchas horas maquillada, en mi piel mixta tengo que reforzar la frente con otros polvos un poco más matificantes si no quiero que me salgan brillos a lo largo de las horas. Por lo demás me parecen estupendos. /Little more must be said about these powders: they are very fine, so they do not provide any texture. I use them daily although if I am going to be wearing makeup for many hours, on my mixed skin I have to reinforce my forehead with other slightly more mattifying powders if I do not want to shine on the hours. Otherwise, they seem great./

Наталья

Прекрасный продукт

Брала мини-размер для закрепления консилера. Давно искала пудру которая не будет сушить кожу и подчеркивать мимические морщинки. Данный продукт идеально подходят для возрастной кожи. I took a mini-size for fixing the concealer. For a long time I was looking for a powder that will not dry the skin and emphasize facial wrinkles. This product is ideal for aging skin.

Aireen

Good

Best powder for the undereye area so far. Still hoping there's one out there that doesn't look dry.

Simone

OK - not translucent

The powder works in removing shine and oil but it isn't translucent, turns you a bit pale and white.

Inga

Amaaaazing

Amazing powder that fixes my makeup for the entire day. You need a tiny amount and it seems it will last forever, gorgeous package. Totally in love with product

katherine_b

Nice powder

Quite a good product as it creates a lightweight but blurring look. It's great in setting my makeup — every other dry product such as blush/bronzer/contour is distributed perfectly after the veil is applied. Oh, and it doesn't reveal peach fuzz at all! The only but is that my oily skin starts glowing fast, like in 2 hours.

Nayomi

A true veil

Leaves a subtle glow without a white cast on my medium tan skin. Travel size is great to try out the product and it is actually perfect since you have to use only a very little amount.

Nicky

Hourglass

Best powder ever

foodeyk

Great product

Love the powder. Just wish that it had a sifter to limit the amount.

Karolina

Perfect

Perfect powder for under eye.

Sophie

Powder great, dispenser not so great

Clumsy dispensing as big puffs of powder come out of the sieve-effect inner lid, meaning that it clumps onto the brush and makes it wasteful as the rest has to be shaken away before it goes on the face. The powder itself is so fine and pigmented that it's great.

Marina

The best powder for dry skin

If you have dry, normal skin you will love it

Ska

Increíble ***Incredible

Superrrr increíble!!! Vale la pena el dinero que cuesta! ***Superrrr amazing!!! It is worth the money it costs!

Brah6

Wonderful powder

I have dry skin and been searching for a powder that will suit my skin and this powder just did that. It’s an amazing powder, it just glides on.

Lau

Wow

This really is amazing! Having trialed a good number of translucent powders, this is by far my favourite. I have oily/combination skin and it doesn't leave my face feeling dry or cakey, never clings to dry patches and my make up doesn't budge all day. Love, love, love.

Shell84

Love it

Love this for setting and buffing my makeup.

banban

l love it!

I use this after sunscreen or foundation and it still leaves a glow to my face. Love it!

Ib

Great powder

Very good product. Pricey but worth the money.

EllieT

I love it

I enjoyed some of the brands other products so decided to pick up the travel size to give it a go, not expecting more than a normal powder. This is no normal powder. I have used it everyday since and plan to buy the full size. It takes down shine but keeps luminosity. It makes your skin so soft. I feel like my routine isn't complete without it now.

Kitty

Love it

I got the mini size first. Now I purchased the bigger size. It makes my skin look fantastic.

Sarah

Love it!

I have oily skin and I find that this powder keeps the oil at bay longer than any other powder I've tried. It's not completely matte and makes your skin look healthy and natural with a lovely sheen. Will definitely purchase again!

SJ

Travel price is 4x than it should be so didnt buy

I desperately wanted to try this and thought I was in for a winner trying the travel size before spending £42 for the full-size, but then i checked the sizes and the full-size is 10.5g, making 1g=£4, but you only actually get 0.9g=£16. So disappointed although i love hourglass.

Anastasia

Try it!

Great finishing powder! It makes my skin look beautiful!

Tatiana

best product

Very good product. Suitable for all skin types. Pores, sets makeup.

MARLA MARLA

BEST POWDER!

Пудра прекрасная. У меня сухая кожа и я никогда не использовала пудры даже для закрепления консилера под глазами. Но с появлением этой пудры я стала даже закреплять тон на лице. Они чудесная! Отлично блюрит поры на лице, не наглухо матовая, имеет небольшой подсвечивающий эффект! Супер классная! Powder beautiful. My skin is dry and I have never used powders even to fix the concealer under the eyes. But with the advent of this powder, I even began to fix the tone on the face. They are wonderful! Perfectly bluring the pores on the face, not tightly dull, has a small highlighting effect! Super cool!

Ems

The best of the best

What more is there to say?

Becky

Great powder - use sparingly!

Best powder out there! I have oily skin + uneven skin tone + random acne + fine lines. I also work long days and need something that STAYS PUT. It can be a bit hard to get out of the container, so slightly unscrew the lid > turn it upside down > shake it a bit > turn the right way up + unscrew. I then use a large, fluffy powder brush (nothing too dense otherwise it'll pick it too much product and look cakey!) and lightly fluff it all over my face. Whenever I have spots, I'll separately dot on some concealer, let it set a bit, then put a big bit of powder on top - this then acts like a 'mini bake' whilst I do the rest of my make up. I then brush off the excess once I'm done and my face looks flawless. Stays all day with either the Mac Fix+ or UD All Nighter Setting Sprays! Hope this helps all my fellow oily girls out there.

Julie

Best powder for dry skin.

I've struggled to find a powder I enjoyed, that wasn't going to emphasise my already dry skin, but this really gave the most gorgeous finish! 100% worth the money.

Merce

Amazing

This is really good on my combo-oily skin during fall/winter because it’s lightweight and non-cakey, leaves a natural glow finish and I love to use it especially on those days where my skin has a few dry patches (because of the weather).

Prav

Amazing

This, dare I say, is better than the Laura Mercier powder which I have been loyal to for a very long time. But I just had to try this powder, and I'm very glad I did. It just blurs out the pores and makes my makeup look seamless. Worth the price, glad I bought it.

Ekaterina

The best powder ever

This is the best powder I've ever tried! And I've tried them plenty. It makes your skin smooth and gorgeous. In love as many others people.

Ines

Great Powder for Dry Skin!

Amazing powder. The finish is absolutely lovely on my dry skin. Really lightweight and kind of perfecting. Love it! Oh, and the mini size is not that mini.

Yas.s

Best

This is the best powder I used not drying and lightweight love it.

Anna

Absolutely fabulous!

Great setting powder, gives your skin the lightest feeling, absolutely non-drying, blurring skin as no other powder! I'm in love

Anna

I like it

I do like it. Nice shear finish.

Dee

Little bit goes a long way :)

Silky soft very fine powder, blends into my makeup and helped it stay on for longer.

Kellylou

Worth the price

I have to admit I have never spent this much on a setting powder however so far I have to say I’m really impressed! I have quite oily skin especially after a long day and this gives brilliant coverage all day. It feels light on the skin and a little bit goes a long way. Would highly recommend.

Madiee

Does what it says!

Amazing powder!

Riina

Fancy!

It looks gorgeous. Very fine milled and looks glowy on the skin. Comparing to Laura Mercier it has kinda more glowy/sheen /fancier look. If you are oily/combo - at the end of the night it might wear off! Mercier lasts longer but is also more drying and don't have that fancy sheen to it.

Hani

Love it

Super!

Sophie

Great setting powder

I used to use the Laura Mercier one and switched to this for a change and really like it. I don’t get cake face, it lasts me about a year and just gives a nice finish to the skin. Packaging is lovely too as all Hourglass products are.

Zsóka

Jó

Elég nehézen lehet hozzáférni a porhoz,csak a szemem alá használom.Nagyon sokan szeretik,annyival nem jobb,mint a többi It’s pretty hard to access the dust, I just use it under my eyes. A lot of people like it, it’s not so much better than the others

Elenariesa

Love it!

Super!

Olivia - Cult Beauty Staff

I really wanted to love it

I'm an Hourglass fanatic through and through. It pains me that I didn't fall in love with this product. I expected it to be a bit more finely milled than what it is and I find I can't set with it as well as other products, it seems to gather wherever I place it. I've given it two stars as the packing and component is life-changing, begone accidentally inhaling half of your powder and spilling it on the floor with this secure, lux container.

Hana

Amazing

Love love it so smooth not dry like Laura Mercier Just beautiful

Beautylover

Drying and ashy

I find it quick drying and ashy. I’m not someone who has dry skin - I’m quite the opposite (oily combination skin) and I don’t have fine lines or wrinkles underneath my eyes - usually I’m not dry at all. On a normal day I don’t even bake and usually just set. Though I did find with this powder it did dry out my eyes to the point where it was visible and quite patchy. I didn’t like the result. Maybe there is a specific way to use it

Ana

The best

Really amazing for under the eyes!! Every other powder makes my undereyes so so dry, this one is the only one that doesn't!

Hana

Loveeee

Perfect love it

NurA

Hourglass powder

Tried on the smaller size and instantly fell in love! Does not makes your face that oily and blends in nicely! Small size can last up to 3 months and then I upgraded. never going back to other powder!

Inga

Works wonders

Worth every penny! I have combination sensitive skin and some old scars - so very far from perfect - and this powder makes my skin look flawless! (together with a light water based foundation) It's also the only powder that achieves such results with my skin (and I've used dozens of different ones - including more expensive ones). The difference with other high range products becomes clear very quickly once you use a different one after the veil. I didn't expect it but it's a remarkable difference!

Oleksandra

самая лучшая пудра из всех, которые пробовала

взяла мини-размер для пробы и влюбилась окончательно, идеально мне подошла, моя кожа комбинированная, эта пудра не пересушивает сухие места и отлично сидит на жирной T-зоне I bought the mini-size for the test and fell in love completely, it fit me perfectly, my skin is combination, this powder does not dry out dry places and perfectly sits on the oily T-zone

Cata

love it

I have purchased this product in the travel size version, as I was cautious to not spend my money and have a product that might not be ok for my skin type( combination on the oilier side with a bit of wrinkles ). However I was so pleasantly surprised. I just love it. I use it to set my under eye and it does not emphasize wrinkles, it feels so soft and lasts all day. It gives brightness and makes me look younger. I prefer it to another big brand as that one seems to make me look older and not give the brightness it is supposed to. (LM) I use it on myself and my clients and love it. So I highly recommend this powder and I will purchase it in the bigger size.

Samantha

Amazing

This product is a dream. The packaging is beautiful and looks expensive which is what made me buy it. It is like no other powder I've tried before. The application is easy and effortless and sets under eyes like no other powder out there. It has a shine to it which makes make up look flawless. Without dry spots looking cakey with a build up of products. It even blurs the fine lines under my eyes and spots too. I don't think I could live without it. I love this brand soo much it's my favourite and pure luxury.

Maria

Hourglass travel size

It is good for dry skin, packaging may be a bit off (I have the smaller version), but all in all I like it and I feels luxurious.

KC

Best powder I've ever used

I picked up the mini size in the Black Friday sale as I needed a setting powder to use on my wedding day. I don't use powder regularly as I have dry skin and have never found one that works, but knew I needed one for the big day. This genuinely lived up to the reviews - it doesn't grab on to my dry skin or highlight fine lines. Creates a lovely base to put more makeup on top (if you want) and sits nicely over foundation. You also only need a small amount so I think the travel size will actually last quite a while, especially if you're not using it every day anyway.

Juffi

Try the trial size first

It is a nice powder when first applied but doesn’t last for long. I use it for my under eyes and after 2.3 hrs they don't look that great. Better to use the trial size to know if it works for you or not. Hope the review helps

Vanessa

Perfect powder

Adorei a textura e o leve brilho saudável que deixa na pele. Recomendo. I loved the texture and the light healthy glow it leaves on the skin. I recommend.

Anna

Better off buying something else

Doesn't work well with Clinique's super balanced foundation, looks like flour on the skin.

Анастасия

Красивый финиш и нестойкость ***Beautiful finish and instability***

Круто и незаметно блюрит кожу. Но совершенно не стойкая. К вечеру жирный блинчик. *Кожа лица нормальная склонная к жирности. ***Cool and blurs the skin. Absolutely smooth, flawless skin. Great for normal skin - prone to oily.***

MH

great

I really enjoyed using this product, and the packaging is great. However, I wouldn't be purchasing it again since , in my opinion, there are better powders out there. By better I mean have more filtering effects on the face than just natural glow and mattifying.

Sophie

Beautiful

I love a sheer, dewy foundation but I need to set it without looking powdery and this does the job great! Such a beautiful product, it’s so fine and blends beautifully. Never looks ‘cakey’ or like I am wearing a lot of makeup. My makeup lasts a long time using this me it doesn’t set into any fine lines. Well worth the price and I will continue to purchase.

Violet

Nice powder.

Nice powder, does not cling to dry patches. Very finely milled.

Pily

Lovely

The Hourglass veil is amazing, people won't see that you're wearing powder. It's incredible. I'm in love with it.

Anastasia

Really good

Самая незаметная на коже пудра, которая у меня когда-либо была, её вообще на ней не видно. Не сушит кожу, не создаёт ощущение "маски" на лице, финиш естественный. Упаковка просто потрясающе красивая, действительно люксовый продукт.Я думаю, что это настоящая находка для сухой кожи и пудра действительно хороша. НО. У меня кожа комбинированная, и мне больше нравится Laura Mercier translucent loose setting powder, поскольку с пудрой Hourglass у меня начинает жирниться Т-зона спустя уже несколько часов, с Laura Mercier такого не случается, и если выбирать между ними, я бы выбрала Laura Mercier (там и продукта больше - целых 29 грамм, и закрепляет макияж она лучше).Но если ваше главное требование к рассыпчатой пудре - чтобы она не сушила кожу и незаметно лежала на лице, вам к Hourglass :) *****The most invisible powder on my skin that I have ever had, it is generally not visible on it. Does not dry the skin, does not create the feeling of a “mask” on the face, the finish is natural. The packaging is simply stunningly beautiful, truly a luxury product.I think this is a real find for dry skin and the powder is really good.BUT. My skin is combination and I prefer Laura Mercier translucent loose setting powder, because with the Hourglass powder my T-zone starts to oily a few hours later, with Laura Mercier this does not happen, and if I choose between them, I would choose Laura Mercier (there is more product there - as much as 29 grams, and it fixes makeup better).But if your main requirement for loose powder is that it does not dry your skin and imperceptibly lie on your face, you should go to Hourglass :)****

Dida

Great powder.

Татьяна

Стоящий продукт ***outstanding product

Пудра стоит своих денег. Начнём с упаковки. С виду ничего необычного, но когда открываешь крышку, получаешь эстетическое наслаждение. Красота внутри. Имея очень слуху кожу лица, пудра подошла идеально, она не пересушивает, не подчёркивает шелушения. На коже ложиться незаметно, не образовывает эффект «персика», многие девушки поймут меня. Расход экономичный. К покупке рекомендую. Она стоит своих денег. Буду пробывать ещё продукты из этой марки. ***This powder is worth the money. Let's start with the packaging; it looks like nothing special, but when you open the lid, you get aesthetic pleasure. Beautiful inside. Having very dry skin on my face, the powder came up perfectly, it does not dry me out, does not emphasise and flakiness. On the skin it goes unnoticed, does not give you any "peach fuzz" that many girls will understand. Economical to use. I recommend to buy. It's worth the money. I will try more products from this brand.

Stine

Amazing powder!

This translucent powder is my favourite. It is light, doesn’t cancel out the glow from products underneath and it feels very light on the skin. I also love the packaging, as the lid helps.

Ash

Really good

Worth the money.

I.

Amazing

Love it.

anna

I loved it

I bought the travel size because It was my first try but I am Really impressed with this powder. I love baking my face with it. it hides all lines. it bakes my face so well.

Emma

We have a winner!

I have dry skin with an oily T-zone and enlarged pores, so I have tried almost every powder on the market - and I just have to leave a review on this one - because it is the best ever!! It has a natural, matte look, yet it keeps olis at bay all day, and is in no way drying on my skin. It is an absolute wonder, and if you are struggling with powders like me, I can only recommend trying this one.

Lola

Good

This is a really great powder If you have dry skin looks really glowy and natural but It won’t contain oils.

Egri

Top!

Simply the best powder I've ever used! Perfect even for mature skin and as under-eye setting powder. Definitely recommended!

CJ

Very pleasantly surprised!

Wasn’t expecting anything from this. Rather than just buying another Laura Geller, loving Hourglass as i do, I took a chance. Very glad i did. Excellent powder. I use for setting and a light bake. I have dry skin so some powders can add 10 years to me but the very subtle peal shine to this powder creates a lovely glow that the Geller just can’t match. But as other reviewers have mentioned use sparingly until you get used to its coverage as it can eventuate fine lines.

Dina

Very good

Perfect for dry skin. A little difficult to use.

MamaOrtal

Best ever

Best finishing powder I ever used ! Wonderful for mature skin. Will definitely repurchase!

Mariya

Light powder

Beautiful light powder. Mattes and hides pores. Light glow.

Anna

Good on the forehead

It perfectly sets foundation on my forehead and prevents creasing in the fine lines. However, it makes my under eye and the area around my mouth really cakey.

Amanda

AMAZING powder

I have tried many powders and I must say this: the Laura Mercier loose powders are my faves. I just love the way these powders make my skin look.

PriK

The Best

I have used so many setting powders, but this by far is the best one. Finely milled with a blurring filter. A little goes a long way. I love it!

Steffi

Waste of money

I'm very disappointed with this product and I don't understand how other people can possibly like it. First of all the smell of this powder is almost nauseating, to the point where I wouldn't want to use it even if it looked good on my skin. But what bothers me the most is how drying and cakey it makes my base makeup look, I don't understand how people think this is hydrating whatsoever, maybe they're just associating the slight shimmer it covers your whole face in with hydration? In my case it just accentuates pores and fine lines that I didn't even know I had. I wish I had only purchased the travel size , but I really didn't think a powder could be this bad, especially at this price point.

Kasie

Amazing

Don't normally like setting powders as I'm more on the dry side but I am amazed by this, its great for all skin types including dry and doesn't make me look cakey or flat looking just smooth and airbrushed.

IS

Gorgeous

Gorgeous glow. Surprised about how well it sets makeup too. Compliments guaranteed every time I wear it. Don't over do it, which one can easily tend do, then it will look a bit dry.

Anna

Miraculous!

Wonderful unearthly light setting powder with blurring effect. I'm in love as others reviewers.

Елена

Я влюблена ***I'm in love***

Это что-то необыкновенное. Понравилось все и упаковка и качество пудры. На лице незаметна, шелушения не подчеркивает, кожу не сушит. ***This is extraordinary. I liked everything about this product from the packaging and quality of powder. On the face is is invisible, it does not look dry and I love the finish.***

Yijia

I love this!

It’s light weight! I think it’s better than Laura Mercier loose powder.
