Love it: Hourglass Veil Retouching Fluid

I feel like every day I’m looking for a new soothing eye mask, de-puffer or workhorse concealer to disguise the shadows under my eyes, one that won’t settle into creases and make the whole area look older, as well as way tired-er. I am the owner of hereditary dark circles and was happy to conceal away with anything I could get my hands on when I was younger but now? I just want to look fresh, damn it!

In all honesty, I’ve been mostly forgoing concealer of late due to the fact that most formulas settle most unattractively into the fine lines under my eyes, so it was with great excitement that I greeted the arrival of Hourglass’ Veil Retouching Fluid at Mecca Cosmetica – a wonder product that harnesses the power of the brand's popular Ambient Lighting Powder in a new fluid formula. 

The light to the touch, serum-like formula instantly illuminates wherever you dot it on, working overtime to refresh, revive and retouch the complexion. The weightless fluid is designed to be used in a multitude of ways, taking care of everything from refreshing any parts of the face that need a touch of hydration to reviving the aforementioned under eye without caking or creasing, and retouching the complexion for no-makeup days.

The formula is rich in skin nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, plant water extract and grapefruit extract, and the sheer formula can be used anywhere on the face that needs instant radiance and light coverage. I love that it can be used anytime during the day to touch up and perfect the complexion on the go, all the while not disturbing the makeup underneath. 

Easy to use for even a novice like me, it’s a lovely sheer product that adds coverage without being cake-y or heavy. It has a luminous quality but no shimmer, so it’s kind to all skin types, ages and textures and has a super flattering, truly skin-like finish. For best results I have been dotting it on with the doe foot applicator and then gently patting it into the skin with my fingers, watching it work its magic just seconds after application.

Hourglass’ Veil Retouching Fluid come in six very flexible shades:
• Vanilla - very fair to fair
• Fair - fair to light
• Natural - light to light medium
• Sand - light medium to medium
• Honey - medium to medium deep
• Almond - medium deep to deep

And is available right now at Mecca Beauty stores now and online here for RRP $54.00. Highly recommended, multi use and one heck of a must have!
