The Hourglass Vanish Seamless Foundation Stick is engineered for diverse application needs, adapting to provide anything from sheer to full coverage while maintaining a seamless look.
Prep Skin: Begin by prepping your skin, ideally with a primer like Veil Mineral Primer, to create a smooth canvas.
Apply Foundation: Dot 3 triangular dots of the stick in the center of both sides of your face, 3 dots on the chin, 3 dots on the tops of the cheekbones, and 3 dots on the forehead.
Blend: Buff the product in using the Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Brush with tiny circular motions. This technique ensures the product melts into the skin for undetectable full coverage.
Apply Concealer: Dot 3 triangular dots under each eye (or on other areas needing concealment).
Blend: Blend using a stippling and buffing motion with the Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Brush.
Prep Skin: Prep your skin with Veil Mineral Primer.
Apply Foundation: Lightly dot the foundation only where needed, such as the chin, forehead, or center of the face.
Blend: Buff in with the Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Brush using tiny circular motions.
Apply Concealer: Lightly dot foundation under the eyes as needed.
Blend: Blend with your ring finger using a gentle tapping motion. This allows for lighter application and blending.
Before first use, ensure your skin is clean and moisturized. For optimal results, prepare your skin with a suitable primer, such as the Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer. Twist the stick to expose the product. The unique triangular shape allows for precise application directly to the face.
This foundation stick is designed to be highly compatible with Hourglass's Veil Mineral Primer for enhanced wear and a smoother canvas. For the most seamless and professional finish, it is specifically designed to be used with the Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Brush. While you can apply with fingers or other brushes for lighter coverage, the dedicated brush helps achieve the intended full, undetectable coverage.
Info needed: Specific product care instructions (e.g., cleaning the stick, storage) are not provided in the product description. Generally, keep the cap on securely to prevent drying and store in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
