VANISH™ FLASH HIGHLIGHTING STICK

Hourglass Vanish™ Flash Highlighting Stick puts an immediate hit of light on the skin, in five shades, from a stick you can keep in a bag. It shares the weightless texture of the wider Vanish line, so the glow blends out seamlessly instead of sitting in a stripe. Payoff is instant, it moves easily under the fingers, and the lustre is built to last.

What it actually does

• Delivers glow on contact. Hourglass describes instant payoff — colour and light land the moment the stick touches skin.
• Blends without fighting you. It shares the innovative, weightless texture of the Vanish range, which the brand credits for the most seamless, lustrous highlight.
• Holds through the day. The stated finish is longwearing lustre, not a shine that fades in an hour.
• Five shades, one slim stick. A portable format for adding light anytime, anywhere — no brush required.
• Works on more than cheekbones. Hourglass suggests it on eyelids as a glow base or worn alone for lustrous colour, and patted onto lips for a metallic finish over lipstick or on bare lips for a wash of sheen.

How to use

1. Place it on the high points: tops of the cheeks, brow bone, the bridge of the nose and the cupid's bow. Hourglass also suggests the inner corners of the eyes.
2. Blend the edges with your fingertips so there's no visible line where the product stops.

Two methods from the brand. The Underglow, for a subtle all-over glow: dot Vanish Flash across the face, dot Vanish™ Foundation over the same area, then blend the two together with the Vanish™ Foundation Brush. The Overglow, for an intense highlight: apply and blend Vanish™ Foundation first, then place Vanish Flash on the high points — cheekbone tops, inner corners, cupid's bow — and soften the edges with your fingertips.

Is it right for you?

Questions

Can I use it on my eyes and lips?

Yes — the brand's own artistry tips cover it. On eyelids it works as a glowing base under other colour, or alone for a lustrous finish. Patted onto lips it gives a metallic effect over lipstick, or a sheen on bare lips.

What's the difference between the Underglow and Overglow methods?

Order of application. For Underglow you mix the highlighter into your foundation across the whole face, so the glow comes from beneath — subtle and all-over. For Overglow you lay the foundation down first and put the highlighter on top of the high points only, which reads much more intense.

Do I need a brush?

Not for standard use — apply from the stick and blend the edges with your fingertips. The Vanish™ Foundation Brush is only mentioned for the Underglow and Overglow methods, where you're blending it with foundation.
