Prep Skin: Begin by prepping your skin with a primer, such as the Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer, to create a smooth canvas.
Apply Foundation: Dot 3 triangular dots in the center of both sides of your face, 3 dots on your chin, 3 dots on the tops of your cheekbones, and 3 dots on your forehead. Remember, the formula is highly pigmented.
Blend: Buff the product into your skin using the Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Brush. Use tiny, circular motions to achieve a smooth, seamless finish.
For Full Coverage Concealing: Dot 3 triangular dots under each eye. Blend using a stippling and buffing motion with the Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Brush to fully conceal discoloration.
For Sheer to Medium Concealing: Lightly dot foundation under the eyes as needed. Blend gently with your ring finger using a tapping motion.
Prep Skin: Prepare your skin with a primer for optimal blending and wear.
Apply Foundation: Lightly dot the foundation only where needed, such as on the chin, forehead, or center of the face.
Blend: Buff the product in with the Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Brush, using tiny circular motions, to achieve a natural, effortless look.
To add dimension and light to your face, multiple shades can be used:
For Contour: Choose a shade 1-2 shades deeper than your natural skin tone. Apply to areas you wish to recede, such as under cheekbones, along the jawline, and sides of the nose.
For Highlight: Choose a shade 1-2 shades lighter than your natural skin tone. Apply to high points of your face, like the tops of cheekbones, brow bone, bridge of nose, and cupid's bow.
Remember, the formula's ability to adjust to body temperature aids in blending, ensuring a smooth transition between shades.
For optimal results, always begin with properly prepped skin. The product description specifically recommends using the Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer before application. This creates an ideal base for seamless blending and extended wear.
This foundation stick is designed to work synergistically with the Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Brush for the most seamless and airbrushed finish across all coverage levels. While you can use other tools or even your fingers for lighter coverage, the dedicated brush is highly recommended for maximizing the product's performance. The system is also designed to integrate with the Veil Mineral Primer for an enhanced application experience.
