Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick Review

November 2, 2016

Are you looking for a new foundation?  I wasn’t either until I walked into my local Sephora store and spotted the latest release from Hourglass Cosmetics.  This is called Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick.  From the moment I started using it I started to see my skin a new light.  I’ve gotten many compliments on my skin, as well.  You know your foundation is working for you when you get compliments on your skin.

Hourglass foundation

The Hourglass website describes the Vanish Seamless Foundation Stick as follows:

“A revolutionary foundation stick with the coverage of a concealer, the fluidity of a liquid, and the weightlessness of a powder in a long-wearing waterproof formula for undetectable full coverage. The unprecedented concentration of pigment in this foundation provides maximum coverage with minimum product, concealing all discoloration and imperfections for flawless skin with a seamless finish.”

Vanish foundation stick

This foundation is available in 26 shades, so there should be one to match every skin tone.  I’m currently wearing the Shell shade which is light with neutral undertones.  The .25 ounce stick of foundation retails for $46.

Description of the Vanish Foundation:

  • A foundation and concealer in one, this concentrated formula contains double the amount of pigment versus traditional foundations for instant coverage in one application.
  • Long wearing, waterproof formula provides 12 hour coverage.
  • Innovative formula adjusts to your body temperature to effortlessly blend into the skin.
  • Designed specifically to be used with the Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Brush for the most seamless finish.

Hourglass Vanish Foundation

How to use:

I simply dot the foundation on to my skin and blend it in with a brush.  I didn’t choose to purchase the recommended Vanish Seamless Foundation brush.  Instead, I use the It Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe Complexion Perfection Brush #7.  What I love about this brush is that it is double-sided.  I use the large brush for blending the product on most of my face and the small end for the areas close to my eyes and around my nose.

Verdict:

I feel like this is a revolutionary product and I’m already a huge fan.  The best thing about this foundation is that it has buildable coverage.  I can use a little bit for a sheer look or add additional layers for full coverage.  I can add extra product to areas that need more concealing as well.  My skin looks pretty flawless with this foundation.  The foundation stick is a little bit pricy at $46.  However, a little bit goes a long way.  The stick is very convenient, easy and quick to use.  It’s perfect for travel or just keeping in your purse for easy and mess free touch ups.  I’ll probably be purchasing a backup of this foundation soon because I don’t want to be caught without it!

Have you tried the Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick yet?

*I purchased this product with my own money.  Affiliate links are used.  Thanks for your support!

    Erika just recommended this also for the Sephora VIB event coming up, and I am considering it. Gotta go and see if I can somehow get a sample to try it out first.

    I love this foundation, so hard. A tiny bit gives me my preferred coverage, it feels as light as air on my face and the finish isn’t makeup, it’s just pretty skin.

    I’m sad, I ordered it and it came broken off in the tube so I couldn’t use it. It sounds like a great foundation.

Embracing my age is important to me. I’m 58 and Embracing my age is important to me. I’m 58 and like to use products on my skin that are formulated to keep my skin looking its best (which includes LOTS of hydration).

Pureance has a fantastic lineup of products that are specially formulated for all stages of menopausal skin. I use the Cellular Hydration Serum which has ingredients (Tremalla mushrooms, marine algae, rosehip oil and more) that are more hydrating than hyaluronic acid. 

My skin feels great and looks great since adding this to my nighttime skincare routine. The serum locks in moisture so I wake up with smooth, hydrated skin.

The holiday panic has officially set in for me. I’ve made a small dent in my holiday shopping list, but I need to accomplish a lot more because this month is getting crazier by the day (and I haven’t even decorated my tree). Anybody else?

It’s my husband’s birthday, our 33rd anniversary, Christmas and we even have a vacation the week before Christmas (no complaints).🏖️☀️👙

So I just wanted to pop on here and say hello before I head out this morning for a cryo facial. I’ve never had one before, so I’m excited to try it and will share more about it soon.

Have a fantastic day!✨

I thought I’d try that “style to styled”outf I thought I’d try that “style to styled”outfit post today. Swipe to see my out-the-door look.✨

This is an easy-to-wear casual Fall outfit from cabi. The lightweight floral patterned blouse has been one of my favorite layering pieces this season. 

I paired with the Palm Beach Crop. This season they’re a wide wale corduroy in a bone color with a copper button fly. They go with everything! Cropped on others, but a perfect longer length on me at 5’2”. 

Order all of your favorite cabi styles by December 8th for standard shipping to receive by Christmas. They have some great gift giving items for all of the ladies on your holiday shopping list.

Twas the day before Thanksgiving… and I’m fre Twas the day before Thanksgiving…

and I’m freaking out, as usual. I host every year and worry about having enough food and variety for everyone so I start adding extra items to my menu and grab an extra pie or 2 from the grocery store. I always end up with too much food, but apparently that’s how I like it. Now I just need to coordinate everything so it all comes out of the oven about the same time…

I’m so thankful for my family, friends and this community here on Instagram. I’m truly blessed and grateful. Praying for peace for all this year.

Happy Thanksgiving!
