HOURGLASS CONCEALER SKIN
HOURGLASS CONCEALER FULL
and for the next hot-weather vacation I'll be dreaming of the entire time.Brand’s description: A full coverage, weightless, waterproof concealer with innovative microspherical powders that blur and brighten for up to 16 hours of instant skin perfection. Either way, I've definitely found my go-to product for the duration of social distancing. I've fully abandoned any other base makeup, and who knows, maybe I'll be a forever convert once I can leave home on a regular basis again. I'm so happy to know it was the work of just a few dabs of concealer and a magical brush instead of a longer process. Now that I'm just staying home, putting this on after I wash my face and apply sunscreen makes me feel like I've put on a full face of makeup (especially when I catch a glimpse of myself in those virtual meetings). But I went back to my very tiny dots the next day, and, poof, things looked great again.

One day, I got a little too heavy-handed and did see some creasing under my eyes. One word of caution (if you missed it the first time): a little goes a long way, and it sets quickly. I didn't put anything else on my face after this concealer but obviously did have on eye makeup and lip gloss. This picture was before stay-home mandates and after a full day of shopping in (no exaggeration) 80-degree weather with 90-percent humidity.

Here's exactly why I fell in love with this Hourglass concealer - and how its partnering concealer brush made all the difference, too. and since I returned (and shortly thereafter began social distancing), this concealer has become my one work-from-home essential, the first item I put on each morning and the only base makeup my face has seen in weeks. None of those things is in the friend group of a full face of makeup, so I figured why not leave my temptations at home and see how I felt when I didn't wear foundation or a close substitute?Īs it turns out, that experiment went better than ever. I was off to Paraty, Brazil, where it's hot and humid and the downpours are frequent. On my last trip, I vowed to not bring any base makeup with me and rely only on the Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer ($34) that was released earlier this year. When I was able to travel, I would never take off without one of those two items (and, honestly, probably foundation as well). I nearly always apply tinted moisturizer or BB cream because I consider those to be skin-care-based choices that happen to make me feel better, too. Now, I'm not the person who spends an hour putting on makeup when I have no plans, but I'm also not the person who breezily walks out the door bare-faced to walk my dog, either.
