Vanish™ Airbrush Primer

Hourglass Vanish™ Airbrush Primer is a translucent gel primer that does three things before your base goes on: it smooths, it soaks up shine, and it leaves skin looking blurred the way an airbrush does. It also extends how long the makeup you put over it lasts.

What it actually does

• Blurs, visibly. Hourglass builds the formula on microspherical powders, which it credits for softening how imperfections, pores and fine lines read.
• Handles oil. It absorbs surplus oil, which is where the shine control comes from.
• Improves the makeup on top. The brand says the gel changes how foundation goes on, how it looks, and how long it stays put.
• Weightless and translucent. No tint, no cast — it is a gel, not a cream.
• Clean-formula checklist. Made without phthalates, parabens, or SLS and SLES sulfates. Vegan and cruelty-free.

How to use

1. Moisturise first. Hourglass directs you to apply onto moisturised skin.
2. Start with one pump and smooth it over the face with your fingertips. Add more only if you need it.
3. Follow with whichever foundation you use. The primer is formula-agnostic.
4. When it is empty, remove the cap and pump, then recycle the glass bottle.

Questions

Will it leave a white cast?

It is translucent, so it is designed to disappear rather than tint. Use one pump at a time — piling on any blurring primer is what causes a grey or ashy look.

Can I wear it on its own?

Yes. The blurring and shine control work with or without foundation, though Hourglass positions it as a step before your base.

Does it work with every foundation?

The brand says to follow with any foundation you like, so it is not tied to one formula. Let the primer settle for a moment before the next layer.
