Vanish Airbrush Concealer
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer is a full-coverage, satin-finish formula that professional makeup artist Lisa J calls "such a great concealer" for its long-wearing, lightweight feel. However, creator estherdaze reports it creased under her eyes despite having no under-eye lines, and professional makeup artist Makeup By Nikki La Rose warns it can turn cakey quickly if too much is applied, emphasizing that less is more.
