"I'm going to use The Hourglass Vanish Concealer, it's one of my absolute favorites.

"I have been enjoying the Hourglass concealer. It's a little bit heavier but again if you shear it out and don't use too much it's a really nice lightweight hydrating concealer. I do powder it down. [...] The concealer just sort of brightens the concealer and sets it if you have a heavier concealer that you're worried about creasing."

"This is the more full coverage Hourglass, I wouldn't say it's full coverage but it's a bit more coverage than the very serum texture of the bye-bye dark spots. [...] This is my everyday concealer look. [...] I'm a minimalist makeup girl, I don't wear much makeup, a dab of concealer in the morning just to get rid of the redness or if I'm having allergies is all I do. And the key is you have to let your concealer dry down."

"The concealer is a winner. I like the weight of this concealer, it's super lightweight and doesn't look like it's going to do too much creasing. You're not going to ever get a concealer I don't think on mature skin to not crease all day long, but so far I like how this one performs. It's a nice lightweight concealer, so you can definitely put it over color correction."

"It's like Karma Hourglass Concealer. This is what I use. [...] And there are so many shades to choose from. [...] It should just be like maybe a shade lighter than your natural skin tone because you don't want it to look like weird raccoon eyes."

"This is from Hourglass. This is I think one of the best concealers ever made. It's pricey. Hourglass is pricey.

"I would also recommend this for concealer, this is definitely my current favorite concealer, it is so so stunning, the most skin-like concealer I have ever used. It looks fresh, it looks bright under the eyes, but it doesn't have too much coverage to where it looks too intense on me, and the way I like to use concealer I get nice medium coverage with this. [...] It truly is incredible."

The BEST Makeup of 2024!

"This was my favorite concealer for a long time, and it's not something I'd consider a creasy concealer by any means. But in a side by side split face wear test against Tarte, once both were set with powder they looked nearly identical, with the only difference being that this one settled into lines a little more by the end of the day than Tarte, which is why Tarte has now replaced it as my favorite."

"This concealer has been my holy grail for so many years. I've tried all the new ones thinking that maybe there is something better, but alas there is not. The coverage is amazing. You can thin it out for lighter application or bring it up to full coverage. My under eyes look filtered and the effect it gives is unmatched. It's like being under a ring light in real life. [...] I also love that it is self-setting. You truly do not need to use much powder unless you want to just be light-handed."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
