The One(s).

I picked up a travel-sized Hourglass blush from Mecca and straight out the gate I was pleasantly surprised.

The packaging is that reflective plastic they use - and the product inside is excellent quality. The blush blends out effortlessly - in fact I'd have to say it's impossible to put it on wrong. You just poof with your brush, poof on your face and you're done.

What I love most is that it gives a youthening effect to my old textured skin. An inner glow, even.

Such is the love for this product that I bought the Holiday quad this year and I've not touched another blush since.

She's a 'spensy one, but she's also worth every penny.

Holy grail

Love everything from Hourglass. Their powders are so fine they never make you look cakey. They are buildable and not Too powdery or pigmented. They are great for layering and as a finishing touch. I have bought their blush and ambient lighting powders again and again

Flawless blended flush

The hourglass lighting blush is my all time favourite blush. It's the perfect pink, for a gorgeous glowing flush to help you appear healthy and younger. A little bit of this product goes a long way. In saying that, it is so easy to blend, that if you applied too much I don't think it would be a problem. It has a slight sheen, that looks glowy rather than overly shimmering. It does not emphasise texture and the glitter is very finely milled. This product feels super soft when swatched. This makes it so easy to apply and blend.

Blush so so pink

This blush is never going to run out. I only use a tiny amount each time. It’s alot brighter after applying. Firm product and never spills. The case is solid and super easy to open with the extra lip so there’s no turning around each time to find the opening side.

Tips: It’s really bright always apply in natural light so there’s no clown look

YES YES YES

I treated myself to Luminous flush from Mecca a wee while ago - and I haven't regretted a cent! I honestly haven't touched a single other blush since I got my hands on it. It is the most gorgeous pigmented pink with a slight coral tone. The texture when applied to the skin is almost creme like and not powdery in the slightest. It can be applied lightly for a subtle look of or built up for a heavier flushed look. In my opinion these blushes are worth every cent and I desperately want to get the trio! - even though I already have Luminous Flush.

Tips: You will be amazed how well the product lasts! I've been using mine every day since I got it, around April and you can hardly tell I have touched it!

Not for darker skin

These are gorgeous shades but are a waste on my NC42 skintone. I have to really load up the brush and use soo much product to make them show up. I don't have the heart to destash or sell because they're so pretty. But I wouldn't repurchase.

Hourglass Airbrushing Pore Blurring Ambient Blush

Hourglass is one of my top favorite brands. I love, love, love their Ambient Lighting Powders and so I also love their Ambient Lighting Blush. I have two of their blushes in one of their limited edition holiday palettes. Luminous Flush and Mood Exposure. Luminous Flush is a beautiful pink rose blush with a champagne sheen. Mood Exposure is a soft plum with a sheen. Despite looking dark in the pan, Mood Exposure looks really natural and warms up your face, it looks more nude than Luminous Flush. That being said these blushes are the easiest ones to apply as their very buildable but never looks powdery or cakey on your skin and blend seamlessly. They just add a sheer subtle flush of color whilst blurring pores, which is wonderful considering I have a lot of large pores all over my cheeks. Because of that Hourglass blushes can look flattering on both lighter and deeper skintones. If you have the money to splurge on a high end blush I would highly recommend checking out these ones by Hourglass. I totally would repurchase these.

Tips: Fantastic blush for heavy handed people and those with larger pores who want to have a blush that blurs that. Also wonderful for those who are time poor or don't have the best lighting for doing their makeup. Also looks fantastic over bare skin if you're a makeup minimalist. I can't recommend these enough!

Fast becoming a fave

I picked up the smaller size of this in a 'treat yourself' Mecca haul when I came into a bit of cash recently and i LOVE it. I have the shade 'Luminous Flush'

The packaging looks expensive - it's a dull gold square compact with a secure clasp and a small internal mirror.

The blush is marbled with a champagne gold and a rose pink, and it's absoutely beautiful. It's fine milled and subtle, but buildable to a rosy, glowy look that is perfect for every day or neutral makeup.

I'm delighted with this and so glad i got it. Worth every cent

Tips: The small one is honestly going to last ages, I'd go for the small over the large every time, I think.

Luminous Flush

Hourglass Cosmetics is such an amazing brand, I have tried a few of their products and non of them failed to impress! Their products are expensive for the reason!

I own the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in the shade Luminous Flush, it is described as a champagne rose, it's a beautiful pinky-coral that gives me that natural flush!

The blush is very pigmented and the texture silky. I tend to apply heavy handed when it comes to blushes, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush is one that you only need to apply a little, light handed to get that natural look or can be build up to a more intense look (If applied too heavy handed I'd end up looking like a clown haha).

Luminous Flush would last all day / 8 hours for work on me. Even when my foundation have faded a bit, the blush still seem to stay on!

Overall I highly recommended this blush, at the moment I am trying to get my hands on the blush palette. ^^ Just can't get enough of Hourglass!

Tips: Apply light handed to avoid turning into a clown! Hahah :p

I'm really excited to try one of these blushes, and sooooon! Thanks for the light handed tip because I too am rather fond of going a bit overboard when it comes to cheek colours!

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette

It is no secret that I love Hourglass products. I feel like their products are made to enhance natural beauty, and sometimes that is what I am after. After loving so many of their other products I knew I needed this as soon as it came out. Then I saw the Ambient Lighting Blush Palette and I knew I needed it. So this year as I saw it starting to run out on a lot of sites I nabbed it straight of the SpaceNK website. It wasn't the cheapest place to get it but I just needed it.

The packaging is the high end that you would expect. It is in a shiny golden sleek palette that is quite long. The blushes inside are smaller than the usual ones but still big enough to fit your blush brush into without touching all of them at once. It feels very sturdy which is great. There is a small mirror inside the lid as well, although I'm sure I'll never use it.

All the blushes are marbeled in effect and in this you get the shades Luminous Flush (Brighter Pink with Gold), Incandescent Electra (Peachey Pink with a soft cooler pink), Mood Exposure (Mauvey shades). With the wide range of these shades I really feel like for natural blush shades I will never need to buy another blush again. I love that you can just do a light swipe or build up the colour. They all leave a very natural healthy glow across the cheeks which I love. I do find that because of the natural finish they do start to fade on me by the end of the day and would need a touch up at the end of the work day to get them back to the original shade. But because they are so beautiful I don't really mind, also a great product to take travelling as you have a whole lot of blush looks all in one palette.
