Hourglass VANISH™ SEAMLESS FINISH FOUNDATION STICK Review and Swatches
First of all I have to tell you that this is my favourite stick foundation of all time. I own the shade Porcelain, and I use it all the time. It lasts all day and is super opaque (great for weddings). There are so many shades to choose from, there’s everything for all skintones!
I wish people would try this foundation more, so I decided to do these swatches for those who’s buying online and can’t decide.
