Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder Review

I dont usually wear powder, just BB Cream or a light foundation, but wanted to try this to see if it would blur my large pores and even out my skin tone. Purchased the smaller travel size from Mecca in the dim light shade. The mini compact is a flip top square with a mirror in the lid, you will need to purchase a brush. I used a little Nude by Nature kabuki brush. This powder is very lightweight and translucent but is good at blurring any light imperfections and pores. Just keep applying until you get the right effect you need. Use for highlighting cheeks as well. Gives face a nice subtle glow. Try the smaller size first to give it a go. Would recommend.

I have Dim Light in the travel size and I love it. I wear tinted moisturiser sometimes and when I use this as my face powder, it give such a luminous soft focus effect. No shimmer or sparkle, just glow. It's an extremely fine, smooth powder and it never clings to any dry patches I might have. I have a tan olive skin tone and this shade works well for me. I also build it up on my cheekbones as a highlighter which I love the look of. Makes my skin look perfected. The compact is an elegant bronze in a sleek square shape. It even has a mirror in the lid, which I appreciate when I'm on the go. Couldn't be happier!

I love this powder! Although I don’t use daily I love to use on special occasions to give my face a glowy luminous effect and it does a fantastic job at that!

This is literally magic!! I never knew I could glow the way this powder makes me. It’s a finely milled powder, that is buildable if you want to use as a highlighter in certain spots. Never ever looks to “shimmery” is a great alternative to a setting powder. I buy this again and again. Only downfall is during summer when I’m super tanned I tend to have to use quite a lot to see a difference, that’s more my shade difference than the product but worth noting. Can use as a bronzer too depo I g on which shade you purchase. Bit spendy but lasts forever. Highly highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed!!

I first had this when I was in a massive matte/dramatic phase with makeup and didn't fully appreciate it. I used it but it wasn't giving me the look I wanted.

I'm a bit more subtle and glowy these days, and have fallen in love with my second purchase of this, made recently. I have the smaller size, in Dim Light.

Hourglass packaging is subtly stunning, this is a small bronze compact with a secure clasp and small internal mirror.

The fine milled powder basically sits on top of your foundation (or on bare/primed skin) to get a natural glowy shimmer (not a highlighter sparkle, just a 'lit from within' radiance).

It settles beautifully and looks stunning. I'll more than likely purchase a full sized when I pan the baby one.

This stuff is absolutely gorgeous! It stands out and you can definitely tell the difference between this and a cheap product. Worth every cent

I have both Diffused Light and Dim light and I love them both! After I've finished my makeup I love to brush this over my face to give a beautiful soft glow which also makes the skin to appear more airbrushed. These aren't cheap but soooo worth it. Plus you can purchase minis
