I’ve used this foundation for work days when my makeup is more natural and understated, but also for nights when I go out and opt for a full-coverage more glamorous look, or for beach days when I look for lighter coverage. Here’s a makeup look featuring the Hourglass Vanish Foundation Stick which I’ve been using for about two weeks now. For your reference, this is the shade Buff. I have also used my Artis Palm Brush Mini (reviewed here) and a damp beauty blender and really liked the results. For me on most days, that’s medium coverage. Then I blend it in using circular motions until I reach the desired finish. I lightly dot the foundation across my cheeks, forehead, down my nose and along the jawline. The best way to apply this foundation is using a buffing brush, such as the Hourglass Vanish Foundation Brush. The foundation stick is designed in a triangular-shape for easy application even in hard to reach places, such as around the nose and the inner corner of the eye. It is slick and fits perfectly in any makeup bag, regardless how small. The Vanish Foundation Stick is contained in a metallic tube packaging featuring Hourglass’s signature color. The finish is a natural-looking, soft matte. That means you could sheer it out and create a medium coverage as well, if you so desire. ![]() The texture is very creamy and blends really well. The intense concentration of pigment allows for full coverage while maintaining a weightless feel on the skin. The formula is highly-concentrated, so a little goes a long way. As a base product, this foundation offers the best of both worlds. You can easily spot cover trouble areas without the need to reach for concealer. The innovative formula and triangular-stick design also allow for this foundation to be used as a concealer. And it does that while still looking like natural skin and feeling weightless. It has the ability to effectively conceal and camouflage imperfections, discoloration and scarring, without accentuating fine lines. The Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick is a full coverage foundation, one of the best I’ve tried. It ticks all the boxes for me and I simply had to share it with you today. Thus blending effortlessly into the skin to reveal a smooth, seamless finish. It is a unique cream foundation designed to adjust to the body’s own temperature. But nonetheless one that demands attention. The Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick is unlike any other foundation I’ve tried thus far. While I road test quite a lot of foundations, I dedicate the time to review only those that truly stand out to me, such as the La Mer Soft Fluid Foundation previously covered in detail here or the recently launched and budget-friendly Rimmel Lasting Finish Breathable Foundation reviewed here.

"I would recommend avoiding the use of any product that dries down around fine lines. A creamy concealer helps mature skin look healthy, smooth, and hydrated. ![]() The creamier the concealer the better for mature skin.

"Using a concealer with a peachy undertone (a derivative of orange) and a slightly brighter shade than your complexion is best. ![]() "Dark circles typically have purple-ish undertones so using color theory, the color orange neutralizes purple effortlessly," makeup artist Alana Wright says.
