Hourglass Cosmetics Ambient Lighting Blush Discover a new way to blush This groundbreaking hybrid combines the customized lighting effects of Ambient Lighting Powder with a spectrum of breathtakingly modern hues. The result is seamless, soft-focus and multidimensional color. Available in 6 shades.
• Hourglass has fused Ambient Lighting Powder, the cutting-edge collection of finishing powders, with an array of vivid cheek colors, creating a hybrid product that is unique, contemporary and revolutionary.
• Unlike traditional blush, which tends to be flat, Ambient Lighting Blush uses Photoluminescent Technology to exhibit depth and dimension.
• The airy, lightweight powders contain optically transparent particles that amplify the colors to a multidimensional level—effectively reinventing the way you view blush.
• The state of the art formula means that its full potential is only displayed on application.
A beautiful poppy-ish shade with peach/warm undertones. I love this shade so much. Buildable, blendable. I like to apply this with a duo fibre brush so I can work up the colour to a nice healthy glow (because that's the point of blush, right?)
Sure, the Hourglass ALB's are expensive, but they're worth the money. Even the packaging feels very luxe :)
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.
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!
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
Luminous Flush is a beautiful rosy pink shade with marbled champagne swirls and TINY flecks of shimmer. I love everything about this blush except the shade.
Now I definitely did my research but I guess it's more to do with personal preference. This was described by many non-BR reviews to have coral and I'm a sucker for any coral-like blushes. Unfortunately this blush is just pink pink pink and it could be that I'm so warmed toned that it's so pink but it doesn't give me that lift my other blushes give me. Even when applied on lightly it's still a little too much which is so strange because I'm all about those clown cheeks haha but it turns out even I have a limit.
The blush comes in typical Hourglass packaging - mirrored taupe colour, beautiful and elegant (and so it should since it cost a week or two of lunch money!).
The texture is finely milled and feels soft and buttery when swatching. I notice when you sheer out the product the pigmentation is still strong so less is more beauties. The lasting power is amazing, I had this on for 12 hours and it only began to fade around the 10th hour.
I bought mine online from Mecca Cosmetica, free shipping on purchases over $NZD75 and took 2 working days. Their system isn't too bad but I didn't receive a tracking number even though it says you'll get one.
I don't think I'll purchase any of the other shades as those didn't show up too well on my skintone but they are seriously great blushes just not the shades for me and yes I would still recommend to others.
Tips: Despite not liking the shade I still use it by applying a light layer and adding a more coral-like blush (i.e Milani Luminoso).
