We conducted hours of research on the best setting powders for oily skin and took each one out for a pin in our testing lab in Manhattan. "I recommend putting the setting powder in the T-zone and using a damp beauty blender to dip into the powder and press the powder into the oily areas." Makeup artist Shay wants her clients' looks to hold up all day, so she uses products that are long-wearing, non-drying, resistant to smudging, and transfer- and sweat-proof. "Normally, people are the oiliest in their T-zone," says Los Angeles-based makeup artist Shay Zeinali. They also absorb moisture and minimize shine, which is ideal for people with oilier complexions, without making skin look matte and flat. The right setting powders actually set your makeup, helping it stay in place for hours on end.

Other times, if you use too much powder, your skin can look too matte. Sometimes, it seems like products just slide right off your face.

I was prepared for a bad makeup day, but it wore beautifully for over 8 hours with minimal to no creasing! Uh, wow, it’s not common that a concealer makes me speechless.Applying your makeup can be a little tricky when you have oily skin.

For the sake of this review I gave it “one more chance” under my eyes with no setting powder. I speculated the Vanish Airbrush Concealer is too dry for under eye use and more suitable for concealing acne, redness or blemishes etc. I tested the Vanish Airbrush Concealer with Hourglass’ own powder and Rouge Bunny Rouge Diaphanous, which is perhaps the finest loose powder I know, but the finish was always too cakey for my liking. I always set my concealer with a tiny bit of translucent loose powder to avoid creasing into my “eye rolls”. My dark circles and inner corners are my main concerns where I need concealing. Once the product sets it’s very long-lasting and quite waterproof, be aware it might stick to your fingers. My preference is to dab some concealer directly on the skin with the applicator, blend with a brush and then finish by pressing with my ring finger. According to the online description you can use fingers, brush or sponge for blending and I tested all of those methods suitable. The product sets quickly after application, so I’d suggest blending one area at the time. The feel on the skin after application is nicely light and second-skin like, not heavy at all. Vanish Airbrush Concealer is indeed highly pigmented and one of the most full coverage concealers I’ve tried. The doe-foot applicator is oval shaped and large, personally I would have preferred a smaller doe-foot since you need only a tiny bit of product. The material is plastic and light, which makes it convenient to toss into a makeup bag. The shape of the packaging is similar to their lip glosses, but the tube looks like frosted glass. The beautiful, Hourglass-style luxurious packaging immediately caught my eye.
