NEW HOURGLASS VANISH CONCEALER for DRY Under Eyes | Over 40 | Worth it?

[@minoukvandervelde715]

I just purchased the new Bye Bye undereye (luminous version) and am loving it ! Super hydrating version for my 47 year old textured, dry skin under my eyes. I use about a pin size amount spread out between both eyes and it works so well...especially with a tiny bit of colour corrector 😊

[@nancyhedke5387]

What color corrector do you use?

[@minoukvandervelde715]

@@nancyhedke5387 the Peripera Ink Corrector (from YesStyle) or sometimes the Ulta colour corrrecting face stick in peach 😀

[@nataliah4478]

Thank you! This is an amazing video, so helpful. I am 40 with dry skin, and it's my HG for undereye. The one major advantage is that i don't need to use the setting powder which always looks *a mess* at least on me. It also stays put, which none of the others do that don't crease. I am a similar coloring to you, thank you for the shade guidance, I am now very inspired to check out all the things you recommend.

[@tammyvaught2210]

I saw several reviews where the coverage started to fade away after a few hours. I was afraid this would look bad under my eyes so I passed on it. I did get the new Dior concealer and I absolutely love it!!! It’s not finicky at all and I wear it around 17 hours when I’m working and I don’t lose coverage. I’ve set it and not set it and got the same results. You also get much more product for the money.

[@loralee3232]

Very nice review on the concealer giving your honest opinion of the good & bad. I’ve been testing it out for about two weeks & I really like it. I use my fingers & dust brush with either CT or Jouer pressed powders. And you are so correct when you say you only need a small amount. A little goes a long way.

[@merewalsh29]

Thank you for such a thorough review. I ended up returning mine. It went on beautifully at first but after a few hours the coverage was gone. I tried almost all the methods you did and it’s just not worth it if it doesn’t last. Back to my KKW!

[@tamiibarra3027]

I tried this and the shade was a pretty good match for me. I always start out with a very small amount when trying any new concealer and add until I figure out how much it takes so I figured out right away that it only takes a small amount of product. I usually use a sponge on one eye and my finger on the other the first time I try a new concealer. I haven't yet found any concealer I like applied with a brush. I liked it best applied with my fingers too. I lightly set it with a light dusting of powder and it creased on me in less than 3 hours. I tried it a 2nd time with a different setting powder and setting spray and again it creased on me in a few hours. It also wore off and began to disappear way too early both days I tried it. I returned it. It's a little different and it is pretty when first applied but if it creases in 3 hours and doesn't last, it's a hard pass for me. I don't care how pretty it is when first applied or what brand it is, if it doesn't work for me, it doesn't work and it goes back to the store. I don't have any interest in any product that doesn't work for me all day long. Kind of working and being pretty for a short day are not the kind of products I want in my life. You may want them in yours but I have no interest in a product like that. It either works well for me or it doesn't. And this concealer definitely does not work for me. I want a concealer I can count on no matter how long my day ends up being. Do you want it to work for you so badly that you're unwilling to admit that it doesn't? I've never seen anyone try as hard as you have to make a concealer work, when it clearly is not working for you. Anyway, it's a hard pass for me. It's too expensive to not work well for me and look great. There are much better products for much less that work beautifully for me.

[@jocelynel-fab5214]

Thank you for the excellent review. Given that this concealer is waterproof, it makes sense that a dampened sponge would not work, as it is supposed to repel water. I suspect the talc or solid ingredient content is higher than average and i also expect the concealer to mix over time with any oil, whether sebum (oily skin) or oil-containing primer, moisturizer or foundation. Your review makes me wonder what the age and skin type ranges were when Hourglass tested this concealer.

[@irisk934]

I couldn't click fast enough on this video. I myself have really been enjoying it. I purchased it in the shade oat. I typically apply concealer with my fingers and set lightly so this has been working for me well this way.

[@StephanieMarie]

Thanks for watching Iris!

[@Dina4glam]

I’m watching this video because I received my concealer in the mail. Tried it many times using many techniques which is annoying to have to go through this since it’s expensive. It did everything u said in this video. I wish I watched this video before purchasing.

[@Cara-39]

The fair shades of many top rated concealers, TF Born This Way, CT Magic Away, GA Power Fabric and this are all very yellow which doesn't work for those like me that may or may not be vampires. I need a neutral or slightly cool toned concealer and these brands are either too yellow or too dark. Btw - I bought the Nikkia Joy powder on your recommendation and it's amazing!! It keeps my combo oily skin matte for almost 10 hours! Thank you!!

[@malloykl]

I just bought this in Pearl. I like it so far but have only used it a couple of times so need to use it more to form a final opinion. I do agree that it works better using your fingers.

[@UnsweetTeaandMe]

I loved your video! It helps to know that I am not the only one when it comes to finding makeup products that everyone thinks is fantastic does not work for me. ❤️

[@Karen-bh2ju]

I have been waiting for you to test this one out. Thanks for the review.

[@ErinCRN]

I’m on the fence about this concealer too. I’m 45, almost 46, and I felt like it got drying and crinkling too, and wore off halfway during the day with my purple peaking through midday. I’m on the fence about returning it. It’s a strange combo of having some light reflecting properties but looking dry at the same time. It’s weird.

[@motherof1132]

I used the hourglass today. I looked horrible. I’m 51 dry skin. I’ll try again tomorrow. I really like Haus Labs.

[@RoseannaSassoSchottenfeld]

Thanks so much for the info. Concealers are soooo hard to find. So when I find a good one, I try to stick to it. What I have found for myself is no matter what concealer I try, it’s creases and cakes under my eyes after a certain time. What I’m working on now is finding products to keep my under eyes hydrated. If you have any recommendations, that would be great!

[@StephanieMarie]

This video might help. It's in my concealer playlist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZKYiJ18dryflZI

[@SueB402]

Thank you for the great review and for always showing footage of applying it and letting us see how it sets. I’m not sure how I feel about this one since I’m super picky about concealers too lol. I thought the shade you chose looked good on you! 😊

[@yensid4294]

The only powder I can "set" my undereyes with is Hourglass Dimlight.And I only use powder there to combat mascara smudging since creasing isn't that much of an issue for me & when it does happen I can gently tap it out. I don't think this concealer would work for me. I tried so many concealers & have 3 that I'm pretty happy with. 1 is actually a corrector, 1 is drugstore & 1 is an old skool classic. Once I stopped setting with powder they all looked great. I don't think these longwear, full coverage concealers were designed for 60 yr old eyes which have never had filler lol. And $34? I think I will pass but thank you for the detailed review as always

[@st5672]

Hi Stephanie, I tried the Hourglass concealer and returned it back to Sephora right away. It was very thick and instead of concealing, it accentuated fine lines. I exchanged it for the new Dior Forever Skin Correct and I love it, it’s so creamy and smooth. I don’t know if you tried the Dior yet, but I think you might like it. Take care.

[@StephanieMarie]

I just picked up the Dior yesterday! :)

[@karenrowan4806]

I spotted this in the store before seeing any reviews. I tried it on (a very small amount dotted on) and blended with my fingers. I thought it looked so heavy and really emphasized my texture. Then I started seeing reviews pop up and they were overwhelmingly positive. I decided I needed to try it again, but had the same result. I don’t understand the hype on this one-I just prefer a more skin like finish and this one looks obvious and makeupy on me.

[@tarotwithtara2022]

Thank you for your review! I'm interested in this concealer. Now, I'm not sure. I love Hourglass!

[@lauramacek8743]

Thanks for this video. I’m really trying to find that holy grail in a concealer. I’m going to watch your concealer playlist but I think I might give this one a try.

[@a_bookish_gemini]

Laura Macek Same! I’m 44 and STILL looking. 😞

[@lauramacek8743]

Angie Ray We’ll eventually find it 😁

[@nancyhedke5387]

I've yet to find my HG. :(

[@sharilg4640]

Great Video. Thanks for reviewing this, I haven't used mine, in creme, enough to form a solid opinion. I use it over Clinique Smart Clinical™ MD Multi-Dimensional Age Transformer Revolumize cream and set it with Hourglass powder in Ethereal Light. So far I haven't seen any dryness, just fading.

[@515joymon]

Fantastic and very helpful review! Thank you Stephanie.

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you! 😘

[@Kathrynh246]

Hi Stephanie!! I have this on the way!! It sounds like I have a challenge ahead! 😂 I do like your concealers! The Armani is amazing. Great review girl!!

[@StephanieMarie]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@oregoncoastmama3004]

Do you have an updated video on your favorite concealer for yourself? I'll be 40 next month and my under eye issues are very similar to yours. I'm in constant pursuit of the perfect under eye concealer. If you don't have an updated concealer video or how you place it can you tell me what your go to concealer and setting powder is? Thanks! Love your videos 😊

[@StephanieMarie]

My latest concealer video is this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/a56Xe5qCZZ2NY5o which is in my concealers playlist. I didn't realize it's been over a year since I've done this video! I will do an update very soon!

[@ceecee7879]

Looks fabulous on you, your whole look is 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼!

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you so much! 💗

[@ScentsibleHomeWithJamie]

I’m interested in trying the new concealer from Jouer.

[@merewalsh29]

Jamie Parks I saw a review from Jamie Paige and it looks like it’s not full coverage like their other concealer. 😔

[@ScentsibleHomeWithJamie]

Meredith Walsh That’s what I read on a review Sephora had posted. I don’t need super full coverage, but it bothers me when products aren’t what they are marketed to be.

[@lawalasg]

Jamie Parks I’ve tried both Jouer concealer stick and liquid. I feel that the stick concealer is not full coverage if that’s wha you’re looking for. It is hydrating but I would prefer the liquid version compared to stick version.

[@CarlaCashOutLoud]

I'm 52 (as of last week!) with normal to combination skin but am very dry under my eyes. The wrong concealer and setting powder make me look like I have texture, creases and wrinkles out of nowhere that can't be seen without makeup. I like that this one you featured doesn't require much product, but it doesn't sound hydrating enough for me and I don't like the sound of it crinkling so much. Thanks for the review, Stephanie. - xx, Carla

[@a_bookish_gemini]

Real Chicks TV I have the same situation going on. Happy belated birthday!

[@tanhome7]

I bought 2 shades, one lighter and one darker to mix throughout the seasons. I’m 49 and dry skinned plus I live in a very dry climate. I find less is more and as you said, it dries fast. I wouldn’t describe it as liquidy, I think it’s “ thicker” than my MAC concealer. I really like the way it smooths out my under eyes with very little effort and I don’t have to set it. I think if I set it, it would appear too cakey. As you always say in your videos, we all have different skin types/concerns and live in different climates--those factors certainly play into how our makeup wears! I really am enjoying it but I’m wanting to try out the new Dior Forever one and I’m curious which of the 2 I will like better. I know they’re different but which one will I cherish more, y’know what I mean? Thanks for sharing your thoughts on your experience so far!! I was glad to hear your 2 cents 💜

[@Cara-39]

I'm also curious about the Dior concealer and I'm hoping that unlike the Forever foundation, the lightest concealer shade won't be too dark for me.

[@tanhome7]

Cara M. I hope you can find a shade that is ideal for your skin tone too! 🤞🏼

[@DrahmaQuene74]

I’m 45 and have the exact same under eye situation! 👀 ♥️

[@jomel6838]

Great video! Could you please tell me what brush you use for the under eye setting powder? Thank you!

[@StephanieMarie]

It's listed for you! 😘

[@shelbykim69]

Great video, doing your homework as always and then giving your honest opinion, which I appreciate. After watching I think I’ll pass on this cause I have normal to dry skin and I don’t have too much darkness. I’ll stick with my favorites: born this way sculpting and milk makeup flex 😁

[@Cara-39]

Do you find the Milk Flex to have good longevity? I'm extremely fair and I know they expanded the shade range for that concealer so I was considering it but I need it to look good with maybe one touch up throughout the day.

[@78Beirut]

Hi Stephanie, do you use dry sponge or damp sponge to apply concealer? Thanks.

[@StephanieMarie]

Usually damp unless I'm feeling particularly lazy! 😜

[@carolynbubrig9936]

Yea! I’m 64....can’t wait for your Mom episode😁

[@jeanietouchofclassglam4573]

You are so pretty, Stephanie!!

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you so much! 😘

[@louisesharpy]

#EarlySquad. That’s kinda expensive. I’m light neutral. Or fair I’m glad you did the test. The truth !! So glad I do trust you I have been having trouble with my eyes. !! Your makeup looks so pretty today

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you Louise!

[@makeupjunkie723]

I tried it on in store and it dried so fast that I knew it wasn’t going to be hydrating and work out for me. Bummer

[@ghc26]

I recently went back to using my Laura Mercier concealer (the double sided one), and my cle de peau stick concealer. I use both very sparingly. Idk, maybe because it’s winter here and snowing every day, I’m drawn to the light weight creamy consistency of them both. I’m also using the DE lippe balm under my eyes they’re so crazy dry and red right now. 🙀xoxo

[@Cara-39]

I'm so jealous that you have snow!! We've barely had any winter here in NYC

[@anareich]

Thanks Steph- gotta pass on this one. As always I appreciate your dedication

[@LatteMoi]

I think this will pair well with their stick foundation. Anyone tried both at the same time?

[@LotusLady9]

Thanks Stephanie!🌞

[@unwindknitting]

I have it and I like it. I have super finicky under eyes and I use a moisturizing primer under my concealer. I’ve also been playing around with the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter under my concealer. I don’t think it would work for me without the primer - I think it would be too dry and settle too much.

[@angie_moments]

Did you layer it over the Colorscience corrector spf ? Thoughts?

[@StephanieMarie]

Sure did! I would have noted if something was off when I talked about the correctors. Layered just fine!

[@DailyDashing]

Thank you for going in depth on this--loved the info! My preferred method matches this pretty well, so I am excited to try it 💙

[@ryanmae808]

How do you think it would perform as a spot concealer for the face?

[@tanhome7]

Ryan Mae Sweeney I think it would work well.

[@luiscabrera181]

Loved your review, very useful. Just slightly too long. Subscribed to your channel ❤️

[@A88134]

How to use it? I dap after setting powder it still crease. If use it before powder also crease😩

[@StephanieMarie]

Did you watch the video in full? If you watched the Setting section, I talk about this in depth. It's an issue.

[@lkaur6970]

Thank you. You are my fav.

[@StephanieMarie]

Thanks so much! 💗

[@mlanden111]

Was on the fence but... sounds too finicky and i need 13 plus hour wear. Thanks!

[@lisacarbone8167]

I bought this, tried it a few different ways then eventually returned it after a week...to expense to keep and not use. IMHO not worth the $54 CND I paid

[@dianeb2349]

When I checked it out in store it seemed too dry for me. I’m 40. Getting some lines under my eyes ... and I love using a sponge too so I’m going to pass anyway. It sounds like it’s not for me.

[@lindadee6603]

Thank You Stephanie :-))) oxoxoxo

[@reggie2382]

I need a Tati blendiful review on ELDW! Please! 🥺

[@kamloopscruiser874]

I don’t like to spend money on anything that needs a lot of work to make it perform whatever the price point. Thanks Stephanie M. 👍 I love Hourglass but I am going to pass.

[@islaelisabeth]

There’s no perfume in the ingredients luckily so the scent might just be chemical like

[@nope1883_hahahhaa]

I see nothing wrong with the shade you're wearing .

[@a_bookish_gemini]

Lisa Garcia I thought the same but it might be different outside of the lighting set up..
