I have really sensitive skin and I bought the mini size because I didn’t expect it to be any different than any other primer I’ve purchased, (not really getting the job done) but I can say that I was pleasantly surprised and shocked. ...this is better than the other hourglass primer...I've tried both this and the mineral veil and this one is way better. its lighter, more smooth and controls oil better. overall I prefer this and will repurchase this in the big size. it goes on the skin so thin and blurs the pores and adds a gentle filter while making the skin so soft and smooth like a baby's bum. its soooo good I even use it on its own without foundation and just some concealer and I'm good to go.
