Guys, I recently switched up my concealer game and oh boy! The Hourglass Concealer in ‘Fawn’ (great for light-medium skins with yellow undertones by the way) was a revelation. It delivers like solid medium-to-full coverage without feeling cakey or dry. The finish is satiny so you look glowy but not greasy, and honestly, it’s so blendable. I used my sponge but even fingertips should work fine!
I wore it for a grueling 10-hour day and can confirm there was hardly any creasing under the eyes and no touchup needed – seriously, it’s a self-setting wizard. Is this Hourglass concealer good for spot concealing too?? Love to hear what you guys think…First off, I’m so glad someone finally gave a thorough review of the Hourglass concealer! Your shade descriptions helped me a ton. Now, onto my opinion – found it kind of mixed bag honestly. I agree with you in that the finish is gorgeous, like seriously next-level flawless concealer territory. My favorite part is the doe-foot applicator. It’s so plush and makes application super easy—especially on those “husband kept snoring” kind of dark circle days. But primer-wise, I didn’t have as much luck as you did, with or without my holy-grail Too Faced Hangover Primer (sigh). The concealer kind of sinks into my fine lines which ain’t no pretty sight after a few hours…👵 Anyone else struggled with this, or did ya’ll find better magic primers to make it work?
Oh, right?! I totally agree with you about the shade range. It’s incredibly diverse and that’s a big plus for this concealer. But what really seals the deal for me is the finish…so natural and skin-like, despite being full-coverage. Some higher-end products just cake up on me, but I’ve never had that issue with Hourglass. The only teeny-weeny setback might be its price (ouch!). But considering the quality, it’s an investment that I’ve never once regretted in the past 8 years of my beauty journey! Cheers to more concealing and less caking, y’all! 🥂
Oh boy, so I took the plunge and picked up that Hourglass concealer after hearing all the hype! I gotta admit, I was kinda skeptical at first but let me tell you, the finish is jsut something else. My only gripe is that it’s definitely on the pricier side of things – a bit hard to justify on my student budget but… it’s like magic for my dark circles, I swear! Anyone else feel like they’re in love but also crying over the price tag? 😂 Totally agree on the shade range though, got myself a perfect match! Guess you do get what you pay for sometimes.
Ha, hope you’re not expecting miracles from this cause after using the Hourglass concealer for a couple weeks now, I’ve gotta say it’s pretty good…but not earth shattering. I’d actually compare it to the Maybelline Fit Me concealer in terms of coverage and finish. The shade range, though? Different level entirely – Hourglass wins hands down.
Took my usual concealer (Maybelline) and this one on a date night for comparison, half-face application each (talk about dedication!). Gotta be honest here that by the end of the night there wasn’t much difference between the two sides, maybe apart from a bit more shine creeping through on the Maybelline side. To me, that’s just proof I should stick to that considering its part of my holy grail list and a fraction of the price!
My advice? If you’re rolling in dough or have sensitive skin that reacts better with Hourglass, go for it! But if you looking for a dupe that does a damn good job, then head to the nearest drugstore too pick up some good ‘ol Maybelline Fit Me. Always remember to patch test new stuff though, especially if your skin tends to be fussy!
there! Couldn’t help but chime in on the Hourglass Vanish Concealer chat. I was so excited to try it after hearing all the rave reviews, and swooned over the shade range.
Used mine for about 2 months now and I gotta say, I’m totally hooked! The creamy formula is like a dream, not only does it blend seamlessly, it kinda melts into your skin giving a natural look unlike no other.
The coverage? GIRL! Imma tell you this, we are talking game-changer level here! It managed to hide my lurking under-eye dark circles even on my worst days. Just a tip tho’, an eye primer can really up the concealer’s staying power (I know many don’t bother but trust me it’s worth th extra step!).
And did anyone mention the applicator? Because it should have its own fan club 😂 A little goes a long way and that magic wand makes applying just the right amount super easy.
I have noticed a coule of people mentioning it creased on them, but honestly it didn’t crease that bad on my combo skin (again, primer is your friend!). For all fellow beauty junkies out there looking for seriously good cover-up – this really is a treasure! Go get that glow gal pals! 💫
I’ve been using the Hourglass Concealer for a few weeks now and overall, I’d say I’m pretty impressed. I picked it up in the shade ‘Fawn’ and it’s jsut the right match for my skin tone. You know it’s a good day when you don’t turn into an orange pumpkin by noon right?
The finish definitely leans more towards the matte side. So if you have dryer skin, don’t skimp on your primer (the Too Faced Hangover is my go-to). And that doe-foot wand though, it’s big love! It delivers just enough product without making you look like you’re wearing a mask.
I put it to the test last weekend at my cousin’s wedding (hey, if crying through a heartfelt speech won’t ruin your concealer, what will?). Barely any creasing under my eyes after 10 hours and no need for touch-ups!
So yeah, despite being pricier than some of my other concealers (looking at you Maybelline Fit Me), I think the Hourglass one really does live up to much of its hype. Just remember folks- patch test first especially if you’re sensitive. <3
there, beauty buffs! Jumping onto the Hourglass concealer bandwagon – I must say this tiny little magical wand has changed my makeup routine forever. I’ve found the coverage simply phenomenal, especially with the applicator that makes targeted application easy-peasy. And talking about the shades, they just melt into my skin!
I did notice what some of you said about it being a tad drying – to fix this, I just apply a little extra moisturizer before putting it on and voila! No more dry patches for me 😊 Like any beauty product though, it might not suit everyone the same way so always do a patch test first if you’ve got sensitive skin.
All in all – am I fan? Absolutey! Juust remember to moisturize well beforehand – trust me ladies, it’ll be your new HG (holy grail)!beauties! Oh wow, I honestly feel like the Hourglass Vanish Concealer was sent from makeup heaven. Have been using it for a month now and it totally blew my mind! It gives me this flawless, airbrushed look that most concealers fail to achieve. The wide shade range is a serious bonus too – finally found my perfect match after years of struggle.
Regarding the finish, it’s not overly matte or dewy; it hots somewhere right in the middle, which is perfect for me! And does anyone else adore its brush? I find it distributes the product evenly and blends like a dream. Its staying power can be increased with a good primer underneath (I’m currently in love with Benefit’s Porefessional), but even on its own, it’s reliable.
I have to agree with whoever said that this little magic wand is a little pricey, but trust me, every single penny is worth it! Remember to do a patch test before slathering it all over your face incase you’re sensitive to any ingredients thou. So thrilled to have this gem in my beauty arsenal!
I have to agree with the previous comments, the Hourglass Vanish Concealer is pretty magical alright. I love the creamy formula and it blends like a dream. The shade range isn’t too shabby either. But it’s the ingredients that really got me hooked! Packed with so many skin-friendly ones, it treats my dark circles rather than just hiding them. Even my boyfriend started borrowing mine, though he won’t admit it, haha! Horizontal color selection can leave some wanting more I guess, but for all fair-skinned folks, this stuff is your new BFF. Always patch test first on your sensitivities, as natural doesn’t mean always safe for everyone.
Oh, you guys! Absolutely with you on the Hourglass Vanish Concealer love train. There’s something about its creamy consistency and the luminous finish that just does wonders for my dark circles. I had a hard time finding the right shade at first (alabaster here!) but when I did, it was like the clouds parted, LOL. Totally agree on a good brush application too, it blends it so seamlessly. Wear test-wise, I would say; even on my oily skin, this concealer lasts an impressive 7-8 hours without primer; with primers longevity goes up to a full day. If not for the price tag, I’d literally bathe in this stuff. 😅 Just remember beauties, always do a patch test first to avoid any skin irritations! It’s been my go-to for about 2 months now and not looking back!
fellow beauty enthusiasts! Just hopping on the Hourglass Vanish Concealer bandwagon here— this stuff truly is magic in a tube. My biggest challenge has always been my uber stubborn dark circles, but this concealer seriously makes ’em vanish (pun intended!). The creamy formula doesn’t crease and blends into the skin beautifully giving it a natural finish, and the best part is- a little goes a long way!
Like some of you mentioned, I also noticed that it works best when paired with a good primer (Milani’s Make It Last is my go-to). Just a tiny dab of Hourglass under my eyes after priming, blended with a damp beauty sponge? Gorgeous, flawless skin that last all day long. I use the shade ‘Cotton’, which seems to have just the right amount of yellow undertones for my fair complexion.
So if anybody’s on the fence about trying out this concealer—the hype is real, guys! 100% agree with what everyone else has been saying about its coverage and longevity. It may be a bit pricy, but trust me – totally worth every penny.
