Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit palette
Today I will being
doing a complete review on the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit palette, this
product is limited edition, but you may still be able to find it in stores if
you are lucky. Otherwise I'm going to review each individual powder, so even if
you can no longer buy this particular palette you can find the shades sold separately
or in other palette by hourglass.
The hour glass ambient
lighting comes with 6 powders , 3 highlighters, 2 blushes and 1 bronzer. Being in
a set like this is great for travelling as you have all your face powders
together, it also comes with a large mirror, which is also great for
travelling. The packaging of this product is the same to other Hourglass powders,
it is solid, feels like it actually protect the products inside, it looks
beautiful and feels high-end.
Diffused light : This
is a yellow toned, highlighting shade. Being yellow toned it great for setting
the under eye area. When using it slightly lighten and brighten the under eye
making you look more awake. Having a setting powder in the palette also means it’s
a complete all in one face powder set.
Iridescent light: Of the three highlighting shades, this is my
most used. this is lovely for the tops of the check bones, it doesn’t look over
done or too fake just the most beautiful highlight shade.
Dim light: I often don’t
use this shade, it still beautiful highlight, but isn’t as strong of a
highlight as iridescent (personally I love highlighted checkbones), I sometimes
use this mixed in with iridescent light.
Luminous bronze light:
this is my most used of the palette, it great for making your skin looked
tanned and to just warm your face. I wouldn’t say it so much of a contouring
shade, like there are a lot of better bronzer is you want a real strong
contour, but a little under your check bones can still give your face a little
shape to it. As personally I love a
light contour (but not a fan of a heavy one) I find this bronzer amazing.
Luminous flush: this
is a light pink flush to your checks, a little goes a long way though so a
light hand is needed. This shade is perfect for spring; summer looks as it
looks fresh and youthful on the skin.
Mood exposure: this is a deeper more purple toned, originally
when I got the palette I thought I wouldn’t use this blush however I tend to
use it a lot with evening looks as it doesn't draw as much attention to the
checks as luminous flush , think it will be great in the winter time.
Overall this was an
expensive product at $117, if you don’t have the money it is not a must have,
and
for a cheaper alternative check out my Tanya Burr reviewrosy flush . However with saying that it my favourite in my
makeup collection it looks amazing on the skin and the products are really
worth the money so if you have it and want to splurge then the hourglass
powders are defiantly the way to go.
I've seen that palette before and it looks really nice and usable. Love it!
