Sunset Light by Veil
$45, veilcosmetics.com
brThis 3-in-1 oil-free formula triples as a primer, serum, and a mixing base for a flawless, matte appearance. The primer helps create an even base for your makeup, as well as a long-lasting finish. The serum brightens, soothes, and hydrates skin for those “no makeup” makeup days. The mixing base can be blended with your favorite BB cream or foundation for a smooth texture.
“This primer is fantastic. The primer claims to provide makeup longevity and glow, instantly hydrate, plump and brighten skin, and smooth the appearance of pores and fine lines. My skin felt smooth and hydrated. The pump is easy to use. I love that this product is so versatile. I tried it under a BB cream, liquid foundation, and powder foundation. I also mixed it with my liquid foundation. It kept my makeup looking perfect for hours.” —Beauty Buzz Member Kristen Carpenter, 29, Severn
