Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer

Hourglass Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer in the mini size is the brand's much-loved full-coverage concealer shrunk down for a handbag, a trip, or a first try. The liquid formula is waterproof and weightless, and it is concentrated enough that between one and three dots beneath each eye is all Hourglass suggests using. Finish is natural rather than flat or matte.

What it actually does

• Covers fully without looking heavy. Hourglass describes it as highly pigmented and weightless at the same time — built to even out skin tone rather than mask it.
• Targets dark circles, blemishes and small flaws. Those are the three concerns the brand names for this formula.
• Softens pores and fine lines. The liquid is light-reflecting, which the brand says diffuses how pores and fine lines read on camera and in person.
• Resists creasing. Hourglass calls the formula crease-resistant and waterproof, so it is meant to stay where you place it under the eye.
• Clean-formula checklist. Made without mineral oil, triclosan, parabens or phthalates, with under one percent synthetic fragrance. Vegan, cruelty-free and gluten-free.
• Travel-sized. Same formula as the full size, in a smaller tube.

How to use

1. Apply straight from the applicator. Place the product directly on skin — between one and three dots beneath each eye is enough, because the formula is concentrated.
2. Blend. A fingertip, a beauty sponge, or the Vanish Seamless Finish Concealer Brush (a separate purchase) all work.
3. Use the leftovers. Whatever is still on the brush can go onto blemishes or any other spot you want to even out.
4. Set it if you are oily. Hourglass recommends that normal-to-oily skin finishes off the concealed areas using Veil Setting Powder, which is a separate purchase.

Questions

How is the mini different from the full size?

Only the amount of product. It is the same liquid, the same coverage and the same applicator — just a travel format.

How much should I use?

Start small. Hourglass suggests no more than three dots per under-eye, because the pigment load is high and over-applying is what makes concealer look thick.

What does the brand's testing show?

Hourglass reports a US consumer study with 32 women. 97% called it lightweight to wear; 94% saw a brighter under-eye area; and 94% noticed a smoothing or blurring effect there. These are self-reported figures from the brand, not Sofie Store data, and individual experience varies.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Pieces already in stock arrive at the shorter end; anything we bring in for you sits at the longer end. Working days exclude weekends and official holidays.

How can I pay?

Credit card, debit card, Instapay and mobile wallets. There is no cash on delivery.

Can I return it?

Returns are accepted for defective, damaged or expired items only, reported within 1 day of delivery. Once verified, your refund goes back to the original payment method within 15–30 days. Shade or preference changes are not covered.
