Details & care

What it is: A highly concentrated liquid foundation designed to deliver instant full coverage for virtual skin perfection.

What it does: This innovative, weightless formula applies like a second skin, creating a smooth and flawless complexion with a natural finish without drying out the skin. It's formulated with light-refracting microspheres to blur and create a soft-focus complexion and is resistant to fading for 24 hours. The weightless, instant full coverage is delivered through the formula's innovative coated pigments, allowing for seamless application and a long-wearing, second-skin adherence. The radiant, soft-focus finish delivered through the microspheres helps create virtually perfect skin. It's waterproof and resistant to transferring and sweat.

Research results:
In a one-week consumer study of 31 women:
- 97% felt the foundation had the coverage of a concealer
- 94% felt the foundation made their skin look smoother
- 94% felt the foundation effectively covered skin imperfections
- 94% felt the foundation could be used as a foundation and concealer in one
- 91% felt the foundation lasted all day
- 91% felt the foundation applied evenly without streaking
- 91% felt the foundation was concentrated so that a little product went a long way

How to use: Use 1/2 pump, blend and set. For full coverage, use a brush with densely packed bristles to lay down more product for instant full coverage and use short, circular motions to blend. For diffused coverage, use a brush with flexible bristles to disperse product for lighter coverage and use long, sweeping motions to evenly distribute product. For a luminous finish, a damp makeup sponge will add luminosity. Tap and press your makeup sponge to evenly blend.

Amazing I look airbrushed

Amazing! I’m probably one of the few people who didn’t like the stick version of this foundation, but I love this version. I think people who are giving it bad reviews just don’t know how to use it. Read the instructions and watch the brands informational how to video. You need the SMALLEST amount of this foundation. Do not go in with a full pump. Also make sure you have moisturized and primed. For instance I use this with the Bobbi brown victim enriched face base. This is incredible with this foundation. Also I would recommend a brush not a sponge as this is a thick formula. I have extremely dry and sensitive skin and this is perfect with my skin. I don’t have to set it with powder and I look perfect and poreless. This honestly is the very best foundation I have ever tried. I was afraid to try it based on the reviews so before using it I made sure to read how to use it and watch the brands videos. After following their instructions I am in amazement. Plus this bottle will last forever because you really only need half a pump or less. Also this formula is so lightweight it doesn’t even feel like I’m wearing makeup.

Not worth the price

I regret buying this foundation, it creases within the first 3-4hrs, looks patchy and it’s almost $60 I’m sorry but I was very disappointed

Highly pigmented but not for me

I hated to return this make up ( un-open of course always ask for a sample ) it look so beautiful when the make up artist did! So I bought it! Just to find out that the minerals on the make up oxide on me! Sad

Great for pictures, bad up close

Pros: Vanish Seamless Finish Liquid Foundation provides great coverage. My freckles and hyperpigmention were practically hidden after applying just a small amount. From a distance, my face looked flawless. It also worked well for photos. It is cruelty-free. Cons: Up close, it doesn't look good. It certainly doesn't appear natural. It catches on any dry skin patches and settles into pores, emphasizing my skin texture in a bad way. I tried applying with a sponge, brush, and with fingers, and still couldn't get it to look good. I think if you have very smooth skin with absolutely no dry patches, or if you exfoliate every single time before you use this, it might work OK. Additionally, this foundation line runs very orange. I have medium-light skin with yellow undertones and a touch of pink (between Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation 123 and 143). "Natural" was the closest color to me, and it was OK if used in small amounts like I did, but it would have been too orange otherwise.

Repurchased

I really enjoy this foundation, I have very dry skin and rosacea and after reading reviews was hesitant to try it, but I’m so glad I did. I did not use a primer and have tried it with several different sunscreens underneath and the performance is the same. It lasts all day and doesn’t move. I have noticed that if I use more than half a pump it gets caked very fast and super artificial looking.
