Product Review #002: Hourglass Vanish Foundation

Let me just start off by saying that I don't wear foundation very often, I wear tinted moisturizers much more often than foundation. Since I don't wear it very often, when I do wear it I really want it to make my face look flawless, otherwise what's the point of foundation? I will admit that I am pretty picky when it comes to high end foundation because I think that the drugstore has stepped their game up in the foundation department... so believe me when I tell you that if a foundation has compelled me to write a blog post... it MUST be good.

I have very dry skin and prefer a satin finish but since I live in miami the foundation has to hold up on a humid night out.

The first and only time I wore this foundation was on New Years Eve and it only took me one wear to know that I absolutely loved it. I know what works and what does not work on my skin so it doesn't take very long for me to determine if I love or hate a product.

This foundation did everything I want a foundation to do:

It held up pretty well in high humidity.
Did well in flash photography.
Held up well even after sweating from dancing all night.
Made my pores look nonexistent.
Did not break me out the next day or irritate my skin in any way.
DID NOT crease on me.

One thing I CANNOT stand from foundation is when it creases on my smile lines, I want the foundation to look flawless but not to the point where you can tell from a mile away I'm wearing it.

I exfoliated prior to applying, I used my Makeup Forever smoothing primer underneath and a very good moisturizer (Embryolisse lait-Creme)

I've tried the MUFE foundation stick & I'm not sure if I was applying it incorrectly but I did not like it, which is why I was hesitant to try this one but I'm SO glad I did.

I'm currently shade Bisque

Definitely recommend.
