My Review
- Easy to apply straight from the stick
- Blends effortlessly
- Skin-perfecting finish with pore-blurring
- Super flattering shade range
I knew I was going to like these blush sticks from the very first swatch. The texture is super smooth and velvety, and glides effortlessly on to the skin with the lightest pressure.
The shade range is lovely and includes some softer muted tones along with some more ‘poppy’, bolder shades. Having said that, each shade is super versatile and can be tailored to your desired intensity depending on how you apply it.
Are they easy to blend?
The blending is completely effortless and this formula almost seems to blend itself.
You can draw it straight on and lightly tap it in for a light stain, use a fluffy brush for a diffused finish, or apply with a dense brush for a more intense result. You can basically play around with how you want it to look.
The finish is very skin flattering in that it blurs texture and leaves a lovely airbrushed look without dulling down any glow.
Is the colour long lasting?
The shades are nice and long wearing and the healthy flush stays put really well. A few other people I have spoken to have also commented on how well this formula wears.
Are they worth the money?
The Hourglass Vanish Blush Sticks come in at a fairly high price at £45 for 6g of product. This is the same amount of product as the NARS Air Matte Blush which are just £25 in comparison.
They are expensive, but I have to say the quality and performance is really impressive, and the packaging is super luxurious. Would I spend my money these? Yes.
Also, if you’re looking for a new mascara that won’t budge, you may just fall in love with Hourglass Unlocked.
