If you were wondering if new Vanish Seamless Finish Liquid Foundation by Hourglass is just as good as their B.O.M.B. Vanish Stick Foundation…well, sorry to bum you out, babe, but the stick is so much better.

Not to say that you can’t get this foundation to work well. It just requires finesse and patience. Dab half a drop (no more) wherever you want coverage, press and spread it into a think layer with your fingers, then buff with a synthetic brush, but do that RIGHT AWAY because it dries fast.
