Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick

First of all I have to tell you that this is my favourite stick foundation of all time. I own the shade Porcelain, and I use it all the time. It lasts all day and is super opaque (great for weddings). There are so many shades to choose from, there’s everything for all skintones!

I wish people would try this foundation more, so I decided to do these swatches for those who’s buying online and can’t decide.

Brand’s description: A revolutionary foundation stick with the coverage of a concealer, the fluidity of a liquid, and the weightlessness of a powder in a longwearing waterproof formula for undetectable full coverage. The unprecedented concentration of pigment in this foundation provides maximum coverage with minimum product, concealing all discoloration and imperfections for flawless skin with a seamless finish. Winner of "Best Foundation" InStyle 2017 Reader's Choice Awards.
