What the gurus are saying

The luminous, radiant finish is what stands out. It's a genuine glow that doesn't look greasy or tacky, which experts really appreciate as a tricky balance to hit. The formula hydrates and stays lightweight with sheerer coverage that layers nicely, and the product stays gentle on skin. That said, the price is steep, so best to swatch before committing if budget is a concern.

"I'm also a really big fan of the Hourglass Skin Tint. This doesn't have as much coverage as the CL, but gives a really beautiful wash of color on the skin. And I find it's really not irritating to the skin, which is important as well."
Approved
"As far as complexion products go, you guys know that I prefer a skin tint over a foundation, and my absolute favorite this year was the Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint Foundation. This is the one I reached for day after day after day."

10 Most Popular Skin Tints of 2024 for Mature Skin! (Reviewed & Ranked)
"The Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint Foundation is one of my favorite complexion products I found this year. [...] Hourglass calls this a lightweight skin tint that boosts moisture level up to 52% for a dewy glow and provides a sheer veil of coverage for comfortable all day wear. [...] One of the call out ingredients is Meadow foam seed oil which contains fatty acids to help the skin barrier. For coverage I gave this a score of four out of five, it's 100% my skin but better, slightly covers up imperfections. It's a little bit more pigment than I would call sheer skin tints, [...] but this gives a little bit more of an elevated look because it does blur some imperfections and you could definitely layer this for a medium coverage. The finish is 100% five out of five, it has a reflective glow and it's luminous radiant without being that greasy tacky or too reflective or shiny. The texture is beautifully lightweight."

"I'm going to combine the Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint Foundation, this is their skin tint, number two and number three is kind of my perfect color for my complexion, and I'm going to use a brush to kind of stipple this in today. This is one of my favorite skin tints."

"I loved the Hourglass skin tint. I wore it for days and days and nobody could tell I was wearing it on half my face with the Sephora skin tint on the other half."

Ranking Hyped "Skincare" Foundations/Skin Tints (My Sephora VIB Sale Video)
"I actually received this in PR initially and I repurchased it, so I do like this one, it might even be my personal favorite in the video. It's a rare oil based skin tint, and I have dry skin so bring on the oils, there's meadowfoam seed oil, squalane, hyaluronic acid and rambutan in it. It looks beautiful on my dry skin type, and it's a thicker product that feels like a foundation and yet it's light coverage, so I can apply it any way I want, with a sponge, my fingers, or a brush, and it always looks nice. I don't really have a lot of cons with this one. The only real con is that their shade range is kind of confusing with the undertones, the first shade they sent me was too cool toned, but the second one ended up being a perfect match. I really like this one, I think it's a good choice for dry skin, but I'm ultimately not giving it the highest score in this video."

"I've got the new Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint Foundation to try."
Approved
"It offers the perfect coverage without looking overdone. It blends well with cream or powder products and adheres evenly across the face without looking oily in the T-zone or clinging to dry patches."

"Es bietet die perfekte Deckkraft, ohne übermäßig zu wirken."
The Skin Tint EVERYONE is Talking About.. Let's test it!
"Here's what it looks like. It looks so intact, it looks very very nice. I do have some oils coming through on my forehead, but this is a hydrating skin tint, so I wasn't expecting it to be super matte by the end of the day. My skin looks so nice, this is a very very pretty skin tint. I still don't know if it's worth fifty dollars. It looks gorgeous. If you're somebody that wants your skin to just look like skin but you want it to look more even toned, it's not going to give you full coverage or even like a medium coverage, it's not that. You still would have to use a concealer on top to give you a little boost, but if you're somebody who just wants a fuss-free, very very skin-like formula, I think you might enjoy this. Fifty dollars is where you're gonna have to make that decision though, because I think there are other products out there that can give you light or sheer coverage that are not fifty dollars. This is very luxurious looking and feeling though, it feels very nice on the skin. Would I pay 50 bucks for a sheer coverage product? After today, I don't know if I would honestly. That's not to say that this isn't beautiful, I really do think it's a gorgeous product, I see why everybody's really excited about it, but it would take a lot for me to pay 50 for this much coverage. I know that's not like a good enough reason, but honestly I don't even know if I would spend 50 on some of my skincare products, and it's basically like a tinted skincare product. I'm kind of on the fence because of the price."
