![]() ![]() (It is worth noting that my favorite concealer specifically for covering zits is the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Breakout). The matte finish of the Hourglass is good for covering up redness without reflecting light that would exaggerate the bump of your zit. You can also use the tip of the Hourglass wand to put a tiny dot on pimples. The Hourglass covers under eye circles well, but also lasts well around the nose. However it is too emollient and rubs off too quickly to be a good concealer for redness around my nose. For instance, I love the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer to cover under eye circles. The finish, consistency, and wear time of the Hourglass Vanish make it a more “jack of all trades” concealer. Obviously the matte finish of the Hourglass also makes it more useful for covering imperfections other than under eye circles, which segues into my next point… More versatile: ![]() This is one reason I like to use the Hourglass and Nars in tandem- the Hourglass blurs the hollows a bit, and then use the Nars to reflect light just where you want it. The Hourglass blurs fine lines a bit, and makes the topography of under eye hollows less apparent because light is not bouncing off it. The blurring aspect is a definite edge over the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer. Hourglass Vanish Concealer mattifies and blurs your under eye circles a bit. I would say the wear time is on par with the Fenty Concealer (but the Fenty doesn’t work as well under my eyes because it is a tad drier looking).īecause of the Hourglass’s long-lasting coverage, it is a great concealer to use around your nose or chin where makeup tends to get rubbed off throughout the day. The Hourglass lasts way longer without caking or oxidizing. The Hourglass definitely outperforms my old standby concealer, Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, when it comes to wear time. The Hourglass does not disappoint in what I consider the most important quality in a concealer. I’m actually impressed with how far concealers have come lately, achieving full coverage without heaviness or thickness. You need only the tiniest little bit to fully cover your under eye circles or redness. ![]() The Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer gives complete, opaque coverage.
