The one thing that really caught my eye was the fact that the base ingredient Cyclopentasiloxane is the same base Hourglass Mineral Veil has and is also quite skin beneficial/friendly.
Has anyone had any experience with this primer? I would love to know since it is significantly cheaper to the full size hourglass.

What benefits does hourglass primer and the primer serum have for skin because I use both and want to branch out to more skin saving/helping makeup.

I have no idea, I've never used either. But if you have sensitive skin honey can irritate it. I know my sisters skin reacts badly to honey extract, so I'd be careful with that. But the balm one looks like it's got quite a few good ingredients in it. I think it'd be worth a try, and if you don't like it you could return it. Kinda making me want to buy/try it lol.

I haven't used it either but Paula's Choice Beautypedia gives it a "BEST" Expert rating :)

@Brianna The Hourglass veil mineral primer is designed to blur imperfections, cancel any minor redness, and make your makeup waterproof along with giving you a great satin finished canvas on your complexion. This one is great for all skin types. The Hourglass primer serum is anti-aging and hydrating because it has plant oils infused into the primer making it skin nourishing. This one is best for normal or dry skin types.

Ok thank you I actually use both at the same time I use the serum first then primer or am I just wasting one?

I'd suggest using one or the other that way you're not wasting because one will do the job :)

You apply serum prior to moisturizer and then primer on top of your moisturizer.
Serums are skin boosters that prepare the skin for the next part.
