OUR STORY

Hourglass, the cruelty-free beauty brand, is known for its innovation and commitment to reinventing luxury cosmetics. The complexion, color, and skincare are crafted to be undetectably transformative while effortless to apply. Paradigm products feature cutting-edge formulas with active ingredients and covetable packaging that elevate expectations of how a product should look, feel, and perform.

OUR MISSION 
We believe beauty and integrity should be synonymous, which is why we are as uncompromising with our products’ performance as we are with our commitment to animals.

Since its launch in 2004, Hourglass has been a cruelty-free brand that has stood against animal testing. As part of our mission, we donate 1% of annual profits from hourglasscosmetics.com to our partner, the Nonhuman Rights Project, a U.S. organization that works to secure fundamental rights for animals. Additionally, 5% of annual profits from all Unlocked ™ products sold globally are donated to support the organization’s efforts.

We will continue working towards change because we believe in seeing eye to eye with animals. Like us, they are living beings that experience love and happiness; pain and fear. We will stay true to our mission until they are protected in the beauty industry and beyond.

"With the Eye to Eye campaign, we wanted to capture the humanity in the animal’s eyes."
 
- Carisa Janes, Hourglass founder & CEO



JOURNEY TO VEGAN
Our compassion for animals has always been at the heart of Hourglass, and in 2017, we began to re-examine what it meant to be truly cruelty-free. We decided that in order for us to move forward with integrity, we had to push not only for ingredients that haven't been tested on animals but also for ingredients that aren’t derived from them.

While the majority of our collection was already vegan, we committed ourselves to replace a few animal byproducts in select formulations, pledging to become 100% vegan by 2020. Leveraging our passion for innovation and ingredient technology, we got to work on creating cutting-edge vegan replacements.

By December 2020, we successfully reformulated our remaining products to be fully vegan and are celebrating this milestone with the launch of Confession™ Red 0. Our biggest innovation to date, Red 0 is a 100% vegan red lipstick formulated with our patent-pending replacement for carmine—the industry’s standard red pigment produced from crushed female insects. Red 0 symbolizes our commitment to animal welfare and marks a new chapter in our ongoing commitment to cruelty-free beauty.

Bill, watch me under the light So keep me in your sight Cause I can do this all night You can call it what you want I got something else in mind Oh, if it's you I've been waiting for I better make it worth my time So don't you pay them any mind Close your eyes, follow the sound Keep it calm through the night We don't need to slow down Take it low

So as we continue with Hourglass Day, this is the highlighter which is beautiful in the color Bronze Flash. This is what it looks like and it's beautiful. I know this stuff is so pigmented so I'm really going to try hard not to put too much on. I think that's like perfect. It's kind of great with this type of application. You can just put it where you want it and I'm just going to use my finger so that it doesn't, it's not too dramatic. Oh, come on glow. Yes. Yes. I love it. Yes.

So I am using the bronze flash on my brow bow, on my nose, on my cubics bowl, and my cheeks and this is more for a bronzy look but I absolutely love it and it blends really well. The packaging is super cute and like I said it's a little bit darker. It is a bronzier highlighter but you can easily blend and a little bit goes a long way.

Once again, makeup from Hourglass is just amazing. This highlight is in the shade Bronze Flash. And the formula applied like a dream. I used my fingertips to blend it onto my cheekbones and I also put it on my nose. And of course, I could not forget my collarbones. I wanted that pop. This highlight gave me a beautiful glow, but it wasn't overdone and I just loved it.

This is the bronze flash from hourglass and this is a highlighter. I believe I got the darkest shade and this is it swatched. I'm gonna put it on the cheeks so you guys see how it works. I am gonna put a lot because I have tried this before. I'm gonna blend it in so you guys can see how it just kind of melts into the skin. It disappears pretty quickly into the skin. It blends seamlessly into the skin. On my face and on my hand you guys can see that it's there but kind of barely. So it's a soft highlight once it's blended in. I give the package in a 10 out of 10. I give the finish because I prefer a more in-your-face highlight about like a 7 out of 10. That is it.

This hourglass highlighting stick I actually used as a bronzer and it went beautifully on the skin. I am obsessed. It gives you that perfect glow without being in the sun. Definitely great for everyday wear.

Do they think of it now to come on don't stop and keep it going do it. Let's get it on

If you want to glow and want to look like glaze on like this Then get this highlighter stick from hourglass the color is so gorgeous and look at that glow

It feels so simple, loving always It feels just right, I can't explain it

Okay, this is the Hourglass Champagne Flash Highlighting Stick. I like to apply it on the highest points of my face. And no tools are needed, I just like to warm it up with my fingertips and blend it out for such a natural, glowy, and radiant look.

Hi friends, and lastly, since I have Hourglass foundation, Hourglass blush, I want to apply the highlighter. This is in the color Champagne Flash, which is also in a stick, and I will show you a swatch. That's what it looks like. It's so pretty. It looks like glass skin, and I basically just draw this on my cheek, and then I just blend it in with my finger. And do you see that glow? It's stunning. And then you could just put it a little on your nose, just as a highlight. And this too, because it's in a stick formation, it's going to last you forever. You could wipe it off with your finger and just apply. It's just so pretty. Definitely recommend.

Hi Flip, so we're doing a full face of Hourglass makeup. Ignore my crazy hair. I have the foundation on, I have a blush on, this is their highlighter. It's also a cream stick, this is what it looks like. This is in the color Champagne, and I will show you that is what it looks like. Super super pretty. And I like to apply this, I'll use my finger. I do have a little bit on, but I don't care, I'll apply more. And I kind of just dab it into the high points of my face, and it just looks really really pretty. It doesn't look like crazy, but you can definitely see it. Definitely worth checking out. These are also very travel friendly, they last forever, and they have other shades to pick from too. So, been loving this.

Guys, I'm currently obsessed with this product right here. This is the Vanish Flash Highlighting Stick from Hourglass. I got it in the shade Champagne Flash, and look at how beautiful it is. I love it. It's super easy to blend out, and it's my first highlighting stick that I try out, but I am literally obsessed with it. I even wanna try it out as an eyeshadow because it does last all day, so I highly, highly recommend this product.

I'm just going to tap, I don't want to put too much. Blend that in. We're going to put it on the inner corner. You see that's so pretty. This is pretty light and subtle, doesn't feel sticky or anything. We're going to add a little bit more. Blend it out with my finger. The formula is really nice. It blends really well. I'm going to add a little bit more. I'm going to add a little bit more. I'm going to add a little bit more. I'm going to add a little bit more. I'm going to add a little bit more.

Today I'm going to try out the Hourglass Vanish Highlighting Stick on my face. The other day I swatched it on my arm. Today we're going to see how it performs on the face. So what I'm going to do, I'm not just going to take this and rub it on my face. I'm just going to take a little finger and dab it. Don't want too much. Can you see it? Maybe I do need to actually... There we go. You need a little more. It's not one of those blinding highlighters. But I like the golden tone. It's very pretty. I don't know if it shows up as well on camera. But this is a good subtle highlight. It does emphasize my texture a little bit. But all highlighters will.

I'll be reviewing the Hourglass Vanish Highlights. The first one is the Gold Flash and this one is kind of a champagne color. It's really subtle, but it hits in the light. So as you can see, if you just look at my face forward, it's like almost nothing, but in the side it's pretty beautiful. I think this is super duper natural, definitely not extravagant at all. So if you're going for that really natural glow, this is great. I like to highlight my nose with this. I do wish the tip was a different shape just so that I could highlight smaller areas. It blends out so well and you still get that highlight, but still looking natural. It's not like looking like a unicorn or anything, but I like to go like this in my inner corner and it just brightens everything up. Overall, I think this is a great product. I do just wish it was a different shape.

Hi guys, I just wanted to jump on here really quick and share with you guys something amazing. It is this product I'm trying out. It's the hourglass vanish stick highlighter and the shade flash gold Like you guys have to see this It is unreal and all I did was I just rubbed my finger on it and I went ahead and applied it to the top of my cheekbones You guys it's blinding Like look how beautiful you guys need this and it's a cream so it blends out so nice I already applied a little bit on here, but go ahead and apply a little more Wow, I love my nose. I'm so impressed You guys need to go get this

Hi guys, so I just got the Vanish Hourglass Flash Highlighting Stick and I want to give it a shot right in front of you guys to see how it comes out. Let's see, I'm going to put a little on my finger. Just kind of buff it out. I like it. I like it. Down my nose. It's okay. I like a lot of highlight. Oh, look at that. And then put it right over here again. Well, I say you should go get it because to me goes on really smooth. It's really, really nice. I would go get it.

Let's try out this hourglass highlighter. It looks so gold and shimmery. Oh my God. Let's do a little swatch first. Oh my God, that looks gorgeous. I'm just going to go for it. Whoop. Oh my God. OK, I do not even have nice lighting in my apartment right now. Look how freaking pretty that is. I'm obsessed. This is such a winner.

Blake reviewed the Hourglass Vanish Flash Highlighting Stick in Gold flash color. They applied the product on their face using a finger, finding that it provided a subtle, golden-toned highlight. While it did not have a blinding effect, Blake appreciated the natural look it gave. They noted that the highlighter emphasized their skin texture, but acknowledged that this is a common issue with most highlighters. Overall, the Hourglass Vanish Flash Highlighting Stick in Gold flash color offers a pretty, subtle highlight with a golden tone. However, it may not be suitable for those looking for a more intense, blinding effect.
