If you are a makeup junkie like me than Sephora is your Mecca. But, with endless rows of sparkly cosmetics and bright lights, I have to confess, I totally understand how one can become overstimulated, overwhelmed, and then shut down and retreat from the store without buying anything at all.

I want to help you navigate the successions of makeup and make a purchase! HourGlass Cosmetics is one of my new favorites! The next time you pass by a Sephora, put on a pair of horse blinders and head right for their brand’s section.

HourGlass Cosmetics is cruelty-free and does what makeup should do – enhance and improve your natural appearance. Here are a few of the products I’ve found I can’t do without!

VEIL MINERAL PRIMER

The Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer was my first introduction to this luxury brand. Veil provides just that – a veil that corrects skin tone, evens imperfections, and preps the skin for foundation. I absolutely love the smooth finish this primer helps to create. This isn’t just for being camera-ready, you’ll fall in love with the clean canvas this primer creates everyday!

Nº 28™ PRIMER SERUM

Nº 28 PRIMER SERUM is the perfect primer for the dry winter months or for anyone looking to create a dewy finish. This primer is a touch different than it’s veil counterpart. It still provides an adhering layer between your skin and foundation, but the glossy serum consistency gives foundations a little extra glow. This might not be the product for you if you’re looking for a matte finish. But, I love it this time of year when my skin is starting to look like my old leather leggings.

VANISH FLASH HIGHLIGHTING STICK

I always keep the VANISH FLASH HIGHLIGHTING STICK in Pink Flash in my purse. In the middle of the day or out to dinner at night, I can always use a little extra glow! This highlighter gives me just the right amount of rosy sheen. There are four other colors to suit your skin tone. I can honestly tell you when I wear it, women ask what the luminous sheen is on my cheeks.

Nº 28™ LIP TREATMENT OIL

Nº 28™ Lip Treatment Oil is like silky therapy for your lips that is not only anti-aging but also super luscious. The gorgeous gold-tipped lip treatment provides a shiny yet subtle touch of color, plumping lips to maximum sex appeal. Try it under and over your favorite matte lipstick for added dimension AND conditioning benefits.

AMBIENT® LIGHTING FINISHING POWDER

Six different shades of Ambient Lighting Finishing Powder offer all skin tones the benefit of a perfectly lit room. If you’re looking for moonlight or candlelight, HourGlass Cosmetics shines your ideal light on you, giving your skin a radiance of its own. (Which of course you have glowing from within already! :-))
