![]() After applying this, I go in with concealer and use my beauty blender to blend in. Some high coverage foundations can just feel like an extra layer on-top of your skin, but this just melts in and wears really comfortably. I think this is why I love it so much it’s the perfect balance of full-coverage, beautiful colour and blendable, whilst still feeling light on the skin. The nature of the formula for me does make it feel thicker than say, a liquid foundation might, but it definitely doesn’t feel heavy. I find that if you begin with applying more straight onto the skin you do get a stronger colour likewise with less on the skin can just give you a nice flawless base without feeling heavy. I’ve also seen others talk about this being buildable. ApplicationĪs mentioned, I find this to be high-coverage with one application. ![]() It’s super affordable and achieves the perfect even coverage. My go-to brush at the moment is the Real Techniques 001 Foundation Brush. The stick formula is quite thick and the sponge doesn’t really move the product around the skin enough, so you can end up with patches where you’ve applied the product onto the face. I did try it with a beauty blender as this is what I use religiously for liquid foundation. For me, applying it straight onto the face, then buffing out with a brush achieves the smoothest appearance. I’ve never used a stick foundation before, so it took some getting used to and playing around with the best way to apply. ![]() With this type of formula I wasn’t sure how well that would work so I figured it would be safer to opt for a deeper colour. I’ve opted for lighter shades in other foundations before and ended up buying the drops that deepen the shade otherwise I know I wouldn’t wear it. When I re-purchase I will definitely go for the same tone again. I chose shade ‘Golden Tan’ for reference, and am really glad I did. I find I can always lighten it up slightly with under-eye concealer to make it more balanced if it is a little dark. My face is (annoyingly) always paler than my body anyway, plus this allows for fake tan or holiday bronze. However, I often choose a foundation that is a couple of shades darker than my normal skin colour. The store assistant in Sephora did actually suggest a couple of shades lighter for me. In my opinion it is high-coverage which means if you get the wrong colour, your face could be completely mis-matched to your body I find I can get away with it a little more if it’s sheer as my skin tone balances out the shade. After all, a holiday justifies treating myself to new makeup too right?! I’d thought about ordering it online before I went, but with this formula I’d definitely recommend picking it up in person so you can try a few swatches and match your skin best. I don’t tend to wear foundation every day anyway so this has become my go-to for those days that I do.Īfter sitting on my wish list for over a year, I decided to purchase it on my last trip to the US. It is a higher end product so it’s a little on the pricier side definitely one I use more for special occasions rather than just everyday wear. So many influencers announced this as their new favourite foundation, so naturally I had to have it. When it was first released I saw pretty much every blogger I follow using it and I didn’t see one negative review. ![]() I’ve now been using the Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick for a good few months to make sure I really knew if I liked it or not. I’m one of those people that sticks with a foundation once I know I’ve found a good one that I love. The Hourglass Vanish Stick Foundation had been on my wish list for a good year or so before I decided to pick one up. I know, I’m definitely a little (ahem, a lot) late to the game on this one.
