It is time for a new beauty review here on my blog. This time I am going to chat with you about one of my all-time favourite beauty items. That is the amazing Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder. I can remember first seeing this on YouTube many years back when it was first released.

Normally I am not convinced to purchase new powders that easily. Because they all look the same and seem to do the same thing. However, people really were raving about this item and I wanted to know what it was all about. Needless to say, as soon as I picked it up and got my hands on it, I realised why people loved it so much. I have been using it ever since. For that reason, I think this review is well overdue here on my blog!

Why I bought this powder?

I bought this powder after seeing so many people talking about it online. Honestly,  love pretty much everything that Hourglass releases. So I knew that would be the case for this powder. I guess the thing that really stood out for me when I heard people describing this item was that even though it is a powder and it sets your makeup in place, it was also hydrating on their skin. This really spoke out to me because I have very combination skin, increasingly so, the older that I get. Once I finally got my hands on this, I quickly realised that I had been missing out on and I have used this pretty much every single day since I first picked it up.

 

Why I continue to use this powder?

For my blog, I need to try out lots of different makeup items. Whenever there is a new release, I have to hop online, purchase it and review it for you guys because that is what I love to do. Because of this, I tend to put items to one side regularly and move onto the next thing, even items that I really enjoyed using, can end up getting pushed aside, just because I need to try out new things. But, this Hourglass Powder is an item that no matter how many times I had to take a break to try out something new, I always came back to it and reached for it again. I really do think that is a clear indication for how much I adore and use this powder.

 

How this powder sits on the skin?

As I mentioned earlier in this blog post, I do have pretty combination skin. I am very oily around my nose, but then areas like my forehead and cheeks can be incredibly dry. Because of this, I find it very hard to get a suitable powder that is going to lock my makeup in place all day long, without making the dry areas of my skin desperate for moisture. I have found that with this Hourglass Veil Translucent Powder, my dry areas look incredibly smooth and it doesn’t settle into my fine lines through the day. In the areas where I get slightly oilier such as around my nose I can sometimes see powders begin to break up through the day, but that is not the case with this Hourglass product and for this reason, I will love it forever.

 

Do I think this is worth the cash?

My only bug bare when it comes to this amazing powder is the price tag. For a good quality product, I will happily spend my cash. This Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder is likely to set you back around £45. I just think is a staggering amount of money for this product. Yes, it does work amazing on my combination skin and it gives me a wonderful glow, but am I happy to pay the best part of £50 to get that look, when I never had an issue with the Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder that I was using before I ever laid hands on this, and that is around £20 cheaper for the same amount of product.

 

I hope that you guys liked this blog post. If you are on the market for a new translucent powder, go ahead and try this out. As I mentioned, this not only sets your makeup absolutely beautifully, it makes your skin look bright and luminous. I really do still love my Laura Mercier Translucent Powder and I still use that powder regularly. If I want my makeup to look flawless. Plus amazing in photographs and with a bit of luminosity, this is what I am going to be using. As always, I would love to hear what you guys think. Please do leave me a comment down below and let me know if you have tried out this item!
