The photo on the left is me with no makeup on, just my favorite daily moisturizer and eye cream.

So no, it’s not the end-all-be-all solution to every single one of my skincare woes, but it is the best line of defense against my worst skin days. In any case, reapplication to my hour-eight skin was a breeze. I chalk the fading-and most likely the whitehead, if we’re being honest-to the fact that I constantly touch my face throughout the day.
A quick dot-and-blend technique took care of it, and off I went back to my desk. I then ran all over the city without checking my skin until around 4 p.m., when I noticed that my under-eye area still looked covered but that a bit of redness had peaked through on the blemish front. I first applied it under my eyes, around my nose, and on the spot at roughly 8 AM to a post-workout-but-moisturized face over the top of my favorite tinted moisturizer, which is definitely on the lighter-coverage side.

Yes, it’s pricier than a drugstore concealer at just shy of $40, but it’s stuck around in my collection while I’ve run out of practically every other base product from daily use.įor the sake of this review, I wore it on one day when I not only went from an early morning Pilates class to a full day of meetings to a post-work cocktail event but when a very unwelcome whitehead popped up right on my chin. You don’t need a lot of it to cover any imperfection on your skin, so it’s great for applying on the go. Long story short: This is the concealer I keep in my makeup bag. When it comes to your concealer, you just want it to work: to stay on for as long as possible without flaking to maintain the same amount of coverage throughout the day and to look invisible in real life and on camera-and this one definitely does. To keep my skin from looking too dry, I apply a hydrating face mist all over and then apply the concealer.
You don’t need a lot of this for maximum coverage, which I love for lighter makeup days or mornings when I’m in a bit of a rush. I use a larger foundation brush around my orbital bone for the more delicate under my eyes. I’ve found that patting it in with a smaller brush provides the most precise coverage on acne while I use my finger to blend it into larger areas like around my nose or mouth. Read: I wore this both as my undereye concealer and to conceal my acne scars for my brother’s wedding and it didn’t budge. The finish looks more like my skin than anything else, which makes it great when I’m using it on more high-glam days or for special occasions. But, that’s not to say that it’s totally matte, either. I normally love a very dewy makeup look, so this is the most matte base product in my collection by far.
Oh-and you can shop it in 22 different shades and a selection of mini sizes for travel. It is virtually fragrance-free (it contains less than one percent of synthetic fragrances!), and, like the rest of Hourglass’s line of cosmetics and skincare, it’s vegan and cruelty-free.

It’s also free of parabens, mineral oil, SLES, SLS, and phthalates. The formula has a natural finish and light-reflecting properties to blur the skin and remove the look of pores and textures. It’s full-coverage, waterproof, is meant to feel weightless on the skin, and is designed to last up to a whopping 16 hours without creasing or fading. Since launching in 2020, The Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer has promised a lot.
