Hourglass: Modern luxury with integrity
Elegant textures and high-quality packaging, combined with an animal-friendly philosophy – that’s what Hourglass stands for. With her brand, founder Carisa Janes filled the gap in the market for vegan cosmetics in the luxury segment. At the same time, the innovative products are particularly gentle and kind on the skin and make every complexion glow.
Free from animal testing since 2004: Hourglass Cosmetics
In 2004, Hourglass founder Carisa Janes came up with the idea of beauty products that not only make you look good, but also let you feel good while doing it. That’s why the high-quality make-up brand was free from animal testing from the outset. But Hourglass goes one step further: With the Unlocked Collection, they stand up for the rights of captive animals and donate 5% of annual proceeds to the Nonhuman Rights Project. The luxury brand has also created a vegan substitute for carmine, a red cosmetic color extracted from scale insects. Red 0 envelopes the lips in a seductive color without harming animals.
In addition to its animal-friendly philosophy, Hourglass Cosmetics also stands out thanks to its elegant formulations and premium packaging design. Sleek and shiny surfaces in bronze, gold or silver make for a shimmering eye-catcher on the dressing table. Hourglass make-up is an experience for all the senses.
The must-haves for the Hourglass glow
Hourglass products cover the skin like a delicate veil, smoothing the complexion and creating a diffused glow that seems to come from within. Achieve the Hourglass glow with these three product lines:
- Veil: The complexion products in the Veil range have a filter effect. As a primer, setting powder or skin tint, they ensure a perfected, long-lasting look. The light and supple textures give everyone a weightless skin feeling.
- Vanish: This range includes high-coverage and color-intensive cream products. The characteristic Vanish triangle helps to apply the stick foundation, blush and highlighter precisely and easily. All products blend seamlessly with the skin and impress with a wide range of colors.
- Ambient Lighting: The Ambient Lighting line conjures up radiant skin, as if illuminated by a soft light. The finely milled powders come either as a single blush, highlighter or bronzer or as a practical palette for different colors. Tiny shimmer particles ensure a soft and multidimensional finish.
Outside of these three collections, intense lipsticks, shimmering eyeshadows, deep black mascaras and tools such as brushes complete the comprehensive Hourglass range.
