So here we have a very anticipated “Vanish” stick foundation by Hourglass. This product has been peddled by a lot of makeup gurus but is it as awesome as they say.
First let me say, ensure your face is super moisturised as the formula is quite thick. It blends fantastically and does not leave awful powdery marks in the pores but it DOES settle in creases and if you do have dry skin, I would say it would not be the best choice . The longevity of this foundation is not awesome, it rubs off very easily so you’re going to need to invest in some setting powder. Sigh!
I am absolutely dying to get to the design so let’s do this. We have gurus ooohing and aaahing over the sleek triangular design and this made me super suspicious because it is the worse design in source history for a foundation (besides Napoleons paddle stick for his “set” foundations)
The design LOOKS beautiful.. but seriously, A sharp edged triangular shape that you are using to apply foundation directly onto your face.So, you wind this foundation up to a level that you’re comfortable with but if you wind it too far and put the cap on, you will lose your stick as it will get smashed inside the cap. Remember, it is triangular, so in order for you to put the cap on, it must align to the matching triangular cap design.
If you don’t wind it up enough, you will get a scratched face. So yes, you have to wind down and realign the edges for the cap to go on.
I ponder how is a flat sided design even useful on a face? I have no idea. This product has mixed reviews from the makeup community.

I honestly cannot get over HOW my skin looks, especially the pores. The feeling of not needing to use concealer, blend and buff with layers of this and that is fantastic!
