HOURGLASS VANISH AIRBRUSH CONCEALER | Dry Skin Review & Wear Test

[@ashcraft555]

Part of me is always a little relieved when high end products don't perform very well because then I know I won't be tempted to spend money on them.

[@maayananer5962]

sameee

[@nicolawalker6402]

I watch Robert Welsh and he’s a professional makeup artist, u should try his concealer technique, he puts a dot on the inner eye and a dot on the outer, he blends the dots in place and anything he has left he blends it across, I’ve been doing it this way and I hardly get any creasing

[@goow]

I'll definitely try this (and I'll check him out! Thanks, Nicola!)

[@Rachel92986]

I completely agree with you on this one, I love it when I first put it on but after a short time it accentuates my fine lines, and definitely freezes in them like you said. 🙌🏻

[@leahmiranda8359]

I've seen such mixed reviews on this. The only one I'm interested in is one by someone with dry skin......yours! Stay safe and well ❤

[@goow]

Thanks, Leah

[@ldswife5339]

I’ve been looking forward to the new upload! Being stuck inside is awful 😭😭 your channel is getting me through it!

[@carolynclemens8606]

Completely agree with your review. I returned this after trying it different ways for a week or so. I'm currently using the Tarte corrector with the First Aid Beauty Bendy Avocado Concealer over it. I don't set it, and it looks good all day on my 56 year old dark circles.

[@lovemyrainydays]

I tend to stick close to my skin colour with concealer too... going too fair often defeats the purpose of concealer, specially when trying to conceal dark shadows. Going too light often doesn't conceal the shadows, just turns them ashy. Going closer to your skin shade actually corrects the darkness better (and actually ends up looking fairly brightening anyway since it's corrected and hidden the darkness).

[@limiv5272]

You mentioned that when you put concealer over a color corrector under your eyes it ends up being a mess. I don't really have wrinkles yet, but I know the issue all too well. My solution is to use the minimal amount of corrector necessary, then use the concealer very strategically. I don't dot directly on my face, but rather put a large dot of concealer on the back of my hand and then use a thin brush to place a tiny amount of concealer over the darkest spots. I then tap over the concealer with a finger. Hope this helps you or anyone else who might be reading this

[@goow]

I'll try this! Thanks, Limi!

[@Humblebee413]

Darn!! I had hoped this would have been my secret weapon to combat my dry, tired under eyes. Thanks for giving such a thorough and honest review!! Love your videos!

[@240iBMW]

This is my favorite new concealer. Works great for me. But I have oily skin

[@Ouisel]

So glad you reviewed this one!!

[@marn9739]

Hi Shelly, I'm trying to keep my under eye hydrated so when I use concealer I go for the non drying,thank you for trying so many brands 🤗

[@dodysdigits]

Shucks...the shade looks perfect for cool fair tones. Too bad it won’t work for my extremely dry and mature under eyes. Thanks for doing these tests! 💗

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

I’d be happy to have my under eyes look like yours do at the end of your day tbh! Mine are crepe and wrinkled. I’m really having a tough time trying to find one that works for me. Hope you’re doing well. Be safe❣️

[@goow]

Safe so far here!

[@michellesmith702]

Paraphens 🤣 I value your reviews and how thorough and straightforward you keep them. ....but I also really freaking love when you're funny.

[@goow]

It sounds like it should be a word, right??! 😂😂😂😂

[@stephaniewhitaker8315]

So glad you reviewed this one before the sephora sale!!! This was one I was looking at....I ran out of my CT magic away and my Jouer liquid essential high coverage and LOVE both them but always want all the moisture 😀

[@themerz6982]

Glad to hear how this worked for you. It was on my potential list. xoxo

[@AyaYai]

I just found your channel because I’m looking for a concealer and have really been enjoying your videos! Thank you for being so thorough so I don’t have to be disappointed by my purchases! 💕

[@goow]

Welcome, Aya!

[@amandacrozier5368]

Great review. It’s a pass from me with my dry mature skin. I am enjoying the Dior concealer which I purchased after your review.

[@lclude9632]

I have dry skin and crepeypness and this concealer is very smoothing for me. Maybe try using less product. Since it is full coverage, I only use a little bit only where I need it. I always just put a small dot on the back of my hand and work with my finger from there. I don’t use nearly as much product as everyone else on youtube, if I did, nothing would work for my undereyes, everything would settle and accentuate. I don’t use powder with this either and looks beautiful.

[@808statelady]

WOW, Shelly, I was a year after this video ..like today 5/29/21 gifted this concealer..and I am very mature with many lines and 🏜 desert dry skin...SOOO, WHAT I LEARNED, IS that similar skins or not.. Its completely true that the chemistry of how we all react to a product will simply many times be drastically differnt...I ❤ HOW smoothing and hydrating this appears under my eyes, im quite shocked actually. I have had it on now for about 8hrs and it still looks amazing, My Holy Grail concealers are Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away and Pat Mcgrath sublime...but what, this is really something, please give it another go, but maybe first rehydrate under ur eyes and OR please see how it reacts over Becca brightening corrector or Bobbi Brown corrector which is what I have it on with...as always I love you, ur content and all ur teachings... ❤elanie...yup thats me melanie again🤣

[@dawnmolero1775]

Hmmm....I have very dry under eyes and have an opposite experience than you. Charlotte's Magic Away looks awful on me. This hourglass is wonderful. I do apply a little differently than you. I do two or three little dots and blend it in with a brush. A lot less than you use. It it's one of my favorites.

[@Spark1221]

As always, so bloody helpful...thanks! x.

[@rebeccac.1758]

I was seriously considering this one, but not now. Esp. since we are skin twins lol

[@janfromseattle]

Hello Shelly! Do you ever use products that are meant for one type of use but you use them for another? For example, using blush as eyeshadow or lipstick as cheek color. A lot of people are on a “no-buy” phase of their lives and diving into their stash. Ya know, what is old is new again. Using products in a different way might feel new when they actually aren’t! Allergy meds are making me loopy, so thought I’d take advantage and drop you a line! Be well!

[@lovemyrainydays]

I love this idea! I do this all the time - blush as eyeshadow, eyeshadow as contour and brow powder, lipstick as cream blush, mascara as brow gel and to hide a little grey around the hairline. I also like using foundation sponges and powder puffs for cream and powder blush application.

[@goow]

The most common thing I do (usually for no-makeup makeup days) is use my bronzer in the crease of my eyes for quick eyeshadow :)

[@goow]

Oooh yep and I use eyeshadow in my hairline when I put up a ponytail and have a weird gap.

[@janfromseattle]

Same! I use either bronzer or blush in the crease.

[@janfromseattle]

lovemyrainydays thanks for the tip of applying mascara to cover grey at the hairline! Genius!

[@christinebaker6393]

Ohhhh I'm excited about this one 🎉😍

[@christinebaker6393]

Just watched, bummer I had high hops for this one :/

[@mefranmefran7133]

Try the new neutrogena radiant creamy concealer!! I've dry under eyes and was really impressed by it when I randomly picked it up

[@goow]

I just picked up the Neutrogena - a couple foundations/tinted moisturizers of theirs too!

[@mefranmefran7133]

Awesome!

[@robinmilroy8573]

I swatched this one in store awhile ago on my dry hand and it looked awful so I am glad I resisted. I love the Tilbury product but HATE the packaging, literally knocked myself in the head because it gets stuck and I have to pull the lid off with might. Maybe I will go for the McGrath- I need a new concealer. Thanks for confirming my suspicions on this one!!

[@goow]

Yeah the CT packaging is... yuck. The Pat McGrath formula is quite nice (I'd call it worth the price, but I'm also completely in love PMG... which doesn't change how I feel about products that aren't as good but it definitely makes me feel like the good ones are worth the money!

[@janetn9942]

Thanks so much for this review - I had this on my look into but then the stores closed so that helped 😁 This and the new Dior concealer - I’ll wait till the stores open to look into it further . Oh ya, I also broke down and ordered the ND highlighter that u love ... fingers crossed that I love it, god knows I don’t need it - I have a huge makeup bag full of them 🤪. I bought the ND Diamond and Blush face highlight and contour palette in 01 Darya when it was on sale for like $59, down from like $110 so ya know I had to jump on that . was obsessing about it in store FOREVER.

[@goow]

WHOA that is a NICE score on the face palette!!! Let me know how you like the highlight! I only held off on the face palette because I'll never hit pan on the Bloom one I've already got, but... considering I still haven't hit pan on the highlight and I've had it for over a year and use it almost every day, I think I should just get the face palette =D See how I rationalize these things?! 😂

[@janetn9942]

Geek Out of Water totally get it girl ! I noticed it’s still on sale on the Sephora website !!😉😄😄😄 I’ll keep u posted on the highlighter- hope to receive it by weeks end 😀😀

[@Squirrely1]

WAS so tempted to try this ...thank u as always for testing.....will you be testing the new Hello Happy foundation stick from Benefit? ❤

[@goow]

It's on my to-buy list! =D

[@reneklein6049]

This got such good reviews. Sorry it didn't work out for you. Better luck next Monday❣❤

[@aiza1525]

ma'am plzzz rewiew the dermacol foundation

[@heidiaguilar1257]

Thanks for the review. I was thinking about picking this up during the Rouge sale but I will pass.

[@maayananer5962]

I love hourglass so I was really curious about it, well this definitely isn't for my dry under eyes... Thanks for reviewing it! Unrelated question, I was wondering if you would review the Natasha Denona Foundation X?

[@goow]

I've got it on my list to buy in the Sephora sale, hopefully!

[@maidenmakesreviews]

Hi Shelly, I love your reviews so much. Please can we have the metric volume/weights for those of us in other countries. (Australia) thank you x

[@goow]

Yes! I will definitely try to remember to do that! (I'm pre-filmed 2 weeks ahead so the next few foundation reviews won't have it, but they've all been 1 oz/ 30 ml so not unusual numbers). Thanks!!

[@jenniferdavidson2849]

Thank you!

[@KC-ed1dj]

Did you use moisturizer under the Hourglass Concealer? I looooove that concealer, but moisturizer underneath is a must. Add moisturizer, and it will look like skin.

[@goow]

Indeed yes - I wear moisturizer under everything. Sometimes an extra layer before I start my makeup. Super dry skin!

[@takishasallbeautyzone]

I'm having the same results lately with this concealer. I liked it better for the first week of use, but after that I noticed some of the same things you described. The biggest issues I have with it are coverage and lasting power. 😕 I think I'm going to try the Pat McGrath one next. One that I've been enjoying lately is one that I bought last year, but didn't use much, the Ouma Beauty concealer. I hope all is well in your part of VA. Unfortunately, the spread is starting to pick up here in NC, but it's nowhere near as bad as what my family's dealing with in the DMV.

[@goow]

I'm definitely enjoying the Pat McGrath - debating buying one shade lighter in it. Virginia is still climbing and locally the numbers are going up faster every day. I never thought I'd see the day where I was literally scared to leave the house, but if I bring this home to my mom, it's highly likely she would not survive it. So I really can't catch this until there's a treatment or vaccine for her! Heck... enough middle-aged people are dying from it that I don't really want to catch it myself, either. :-/ Stay safe down there, Takisha!!!! 💜

[@takishasallbeautyzone]

@@goow You're so right! It messes with my brain to think of myself as middle aged. But I guess that's exactly what 45 is. Crazy. I wish you and your mother safety and good health💜.

[@helpfulnatural]

Well the shade looked great as well as the coverage. Too bad about the drying aspect. In your final check in I could see exactly what you were talking about. A bit of creasing too. Hope you are staying well too Shelly. :)

[@karenjones1897]

hi, shelly! another dust biter. i need to try the age perfect concealer. i'll do a bit of looking on cvs online as i have some ecbs to use up. thanks so much for the info and opinions. stay safe and stay well! ~k

[@goow]

I've worn the Age Perfect around 10 times now... it is gooooooooooooo-oooood!

[@ma-cb79on]

Hi, is tarte shape tape is better for cover the eyebags, spot and fine lines or hourglass concealer?

[@goow]

I like the Hourglass better for it being a bit more hydrating on me but if you're not worried about dry skin the Tarte is a little bit higher coverage.

[@ma-cb79on]

@@goow thank you 💖

[@kimberlyplayer]

I have bags under my eyes. There's no concealer that can cover them when they decide to appear. I may get a sample if I can but I have no idea what I can do to conceal them or even why I get them.

[@GraceCase]

Kimberly Player Wayne Goss has a tutorial on how to hide them.

[@loriengelmann9240]

Bummer! I thought this looked very pretty when you first put it on. Do you think setting it with powder would help/hurt the settling into lines? You had asked which concealers we'd like to see reviewed and I would like to see the Nars creamy radiant concealer. I use it currently and would like to see how it stacks up. Thanks for the review.

[@goow]

I'll definitely get a review of the NARS up once new releases slow down a bit! I can spoil it and say it's the first high end concealer I ever bought and I still love it :)

[@loriengelmann9240]

@@goow Thanks!

[@greenbeauties]

When I tried it in store I didn’t like it because of the same issues you got. It’s a shame it didn’t work for us

[@kjjannat9680]

Did u use clinic airbrush concealer?If yes how was it?

[@goow]

I haven’t tried the Clinique yet!

[@GenerationXChick]

Hi Shelly - it’s been over a year since you posted this. Hope you get notifications re: comments. You mentioned that you got the second lightest shade: Creme because the lightest shade was warm / yellow. I looked at the name of the first (Birch) it claimed to be neutral. Just wanted to understand how you decided to select this particular shade. You and I almost match perfectly in foundation and concealer shades….

[@goow]

Hi Kristina! I'm just going by the photos (since I haven't been able to swatch the shades in stores). They do describe Birch as neutral but it looks to me like it leans just to the yellow side of neutral. I prefer a cool/slightly pink undertone on me even though I can get away with neutral, so if something looks like it has any yellow to it, I go the other way.

[@ambergerhelper7852]

Hello, Shelly! ☺️

[@goow]

How's it going, Amber??! Staying well? I hope you're hanging in there!!

[@ambergerhelper7852]

Geek Out of Water We’re hanging in there! Our city isn’t taking “all this” as seriously as I’d hoped. It’s worrisome. But we’re very fortunate- my husband is able to work from home. ☺️

[@JD-ku6vd]

I bought this before I discovered your review. I used it once and back it went. It’s drying and rolled right off when I used a sponge to set it. Very disappointed!
