This foundation is gorgeous! I usually hate how foundation sticks are stiff and hard to blend, but this one is different. It blends like a dream. The shade I have is Buff, which is a little bit warmer than my actual skin tone but it blended into my skin so seamlessly I could not notice the color difference. It wears so nicely throughout the day, I’ve had it on for more than 10 hours and it still has not caked up or collected in my lines (without primer). The finish is satin which I love - and I usually apply a little moisturizer or primer before depending if I want more of a dewy look. The coverage is buildable. Bronzer, blush, concealer, and highlight sits on top of it with no issues. Absolutely love this product and will definitely repurchase when I run out.

I purchased this product with gritted teeth just to the hefty price tag . But after hearing the youtubers rave about it I had to give it a go. It is seamless on the skin and provides and amazing coverage. You barely need to use much of it to cover which is a good thing because there is not a lot of it!

I bought the Vanish stick foundation in the shade Beige, and although it is a bit darker than my winter skin would be about perfect for summer glow skin. And in fact I don’t mind my foundation a bit darker than my skin as I can always lighten it. This foundation is so easy to apply with both a blender and a brush. It really does have a seamless finish, and is buildable. If you are after super full
Coverage I would say this is probably not the product for you unless you really want to layer it up. It felt like nothing on my skin which was I really liked and blended easily and perfectly. It is a bit on the pricier side but I really do think it is worth it. The shade range is good with 32 shades. It is Gluten, Paraben and Sulphate free and also vegan friendly. I would 100% recommend this product!

HOURGLASS Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick
This is by far one of my top purchases of 2018. You can apply the product using the stick, straight onto clean skin or with a brush. I have oily skin and have found this to work brilliantly translating any excess oil into a high watt, natural glow.
The foundation can also double up as a concealer under eyes or to enhance your brows. It works equally well in this way as well.
The foundation provides the perfect coverage without caking or creasing. I was superbly impressed by the extensive shade ranges catering to yellow and neutral undertones equally. I went with shade Warm Ivory which, as the name of the foundation suggests, truly did blend seamlessly with my skin.
The actual formulation of the foundation is particularly commendation worthy. It is a stick formula which, on contact with the skin, seems to melt straight onto the skin thus enabling a very easy blending experience.
This is not your standard-jo stick foundation which you have to work hard to blend. No, no - this is as user friendly as stick foundations come.
The foundation comes in a stunning brown triangular packaging emblazed with the hourglass name. It is a heavy tube and you do get a good amount of product for your buck.
If you invest in any foundation this year makesure it's this one. I am particularly fussy when it comes to foundations given my difficult, oily and quite frankly greasy skin and I've truly LOVED it. A purchase of this number, you will absolutely not regret.

This foundation glides on and blends in so easily. However, the coverage is good but I would say full coverage, but it is easily buildable. Lasts all day

I am in my mid 20's with combination, light tone skin and blue eyes. My hair is dark brown, normal with coarse texture.
This foundation is a winner for me. It’s lovely and creamy, hides blemishes and blends into your natural skin tone perfectly so when it’s on your skin it’s half matte, half dewey and looks like your skin but better!!! You do have to use a setting powder as it does have the potential to move around a lot. I got colour matched for this in a space nk and I went for a yellow based foundation, perfect for the summer months when your a bit more tanned!!! This is definitely a buildable foundation as well, and could even use for contouring! On my list to repurchase!!

This foundation stick is absolutely incredible! Purchased this in Sephora in Thailand last year and I was so excited to try. Well it has lasted me till now exactly a year later and I must say is one of the best foundations I have to date. It is full coverage so you literally only need a few dots all over your face but it blends amazingly with the Hourglass brush or with a damp beauty blender and makes your skin look flawless! It is very longwearing and has a velvet finish. So it does not slide off but at the same time is not too drying. Definitely worth the price!
