Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder Review

This is my go to highlighter. I absolutely love it. I use it on my cheekbones, a brush down my nose and a dab on my chin. It looks so natural and gives you a beautiful glow. I’ve had mine for months, it’s such a generous size.

This is the most beautiful product! I have fair skin and this is a perfect colour match for me. It sets my skin beautifully and gives it a lovely airbrushed look, I use a dense brush to apply all over or if I want the really airbrused look then use a puff to press it into the skin. These last a really long time and are worth the investment.

I am currently using 'Mood Light' in this range. It is a soft pinky shade, and makes the perfect barely there blush/ highlight for my skin tone. I also use it on the brow bone and a light sweep down the bridge of my nose. Works well as a soft but glowy eyeshadow colour too. Lasts forever!! Have had for a couple of years now, use it 4-5 times a week and I'm yet to see the bottom if the compact. Packaging is great, nice a sturdy, with a mirror inside.

I have a warm based, medium skin tone and whenever I use this product, it instantly turns my cheeks ashy and have to restart my makeup. The finish is really lovely and I really would love to buy this in another colour

I love setting powder so much, it blurs yours pores evens out. I got the travel size of this not so long ago and I have just recently bought my second one of these. This has to be one of my favourite powders and I do recommend this as it is my fav makeup piece in my makeup routine!!

I purchased one of these from Mecca, one of the small guys initially just to try before investing in the palette. I always thought this must be over hyped how can it be that good it’s just a highlighter but boy I was wrong! This is the most beautiful highlighter I have ever used. It’s so finely milled that it really looks like a natural glow no chunks of glitter. It applies so easily I go between a fan brush and a tapered brush and both work well. If you like a real bright highlight you can build it up or if you just want something to give dimension to the face this product will get the job done! There’s a reasonable shade range although as with most brands they do lack in shades for deeper skin tones although, maybe they weren’t displayed at my local store. If you are new to make up this highlighter is perfect because you really can’t mess it up I know the price tag is hefty but worth it in my opinion. I like the packaging too it’s simple but sleek feels good in the hand. 10/10 recommend!

I had a wee splurge and purchased some hourglass products that I have been wanting to try for years because they are huge favorites of many people on social media you tube however because of the price of these stunning products I held off purchasing but I'm so excited to have them in my collection now! Hourglass products are very much a luxurious brand and cost a pretty penny. The packaging of these powders are amazing very sturdy and look stunning. I have the shades Dim Light (Neutral Beige) and Soft Light (Pale Peach) both look stunning on I wish they had a tad more pigmentation for a bit more coverage but they are finishing powders so not made for alot of coverage, this would be my only reason for not repurchasing once I have finished them just because I do like a wee bit of coverage with my powders and like them to set my cream products, finishing powders don't set cream products the best but again they are not really intended for that purpose they are just to diffuse the skin for a beautiful light finish, none the less these are still stunning. These powders have a really interesting formula they feel very light and airy and glide over the skin. I would only recommend these powders if you use finishing powders alot in your routine and have the cash to splash.
