Hi everyone, today I’m reviewing the new Hourglass Illusion Luminous Glow Foundation. I will also be comparing it to some current foundations from Hourglass; the Veil Hydrating Skin Tint & the Ambient Soft Glow Foundation. Hopefully this will help you to decide which Hourglass foundation is best for you!
Thanks for watching,
Love Carmel 💕
