Illusion Priming Moisturizer

Hourglass Illusion Priming Moisturizer does two jobs in one step: it hydrates like a moisturiser and preps like a primer. It sinks in fast rather than sitting on top, which is what makes it a sensible last step before foundation goes on.

What it is	A priming moisturiser — skincare step and makeup prep in one
Texture	Melts into skin and absorbs quickly
Key actives	Niacinamide · Plant-Based Squalane · the Hyaluronic Rose Complex
In the complex	11 forms of hyaluronic acid, plus Damascus Rosewater

What it actually does

• Locks moisture in as it absorbs. It is formulated to sink in quickly rather than leave a film, so you are not waiting around before makeup.
• Changes how foundation behaves. Hourglass states it improves the look, the feel and the wear of foundation applied over it — this is the priming half of the product.
• Brand claim — fine lines and wrinkles. Hourglass describes the formula as clinically proven to visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Built on three hydration routes. Niacinamide, Plant-Based Squalane, and the Hyaluronic Rose Complex — eleven forms of hyaluronic acid together with Damascus Rosewater — make up the core blend.
• Collapses two steps into one. If your routine is usually moisturiser then primer, this replaces both.

How to use

1. Apply to clean skin. Smooth it over the face after cleansing.
2. Give it a moment to absorb. It is designed to disappear quickly — wait until it has.
3. Go straight into makeup. Foundation goes directly on top; no separate primer needed.
4. In the morning, keep your SPF. This is a moisturiser and primer, not a sunscreen.

Questions

Do I still need a separate primer?

No — priming is built into it. Hourglass positions this as the product that creates the canvas, and says it improves how foundation looks, feels and wears.

Can I wear it without makeup?

Yes. It is a moisturiser first, with squalane, niacinamide and a hyaluronic complex doing the hydrating work whether or not anything goes over it.

What is the Hyaluronic Rose Complex?

It is Hourglass's name for the blend of eleven different forms of hyaluronic acid together with Damascus Rosewater used in this formula.
