HOURGLASS AMBIENT LIGHTING PALETTE REVIEW

The Hourglass Ambient Lighting palette is such a game changer and now a must-have in my vanity. Firstly, love the packaging and secondly the formulation on these shades! A whole other level of sophisticated chic, I must say! The lighting powders in this palette are super finely milled and dreamily pigmented. This product retails for SGD 106.00 at Sephora and most of the time, is out of stock when checked online.

The darkest of the three shades, I use to be afraid of however after much playtime. I could go heavy with this and still look natural and stunning in pictures. When I use makeup brushes to bronze and to highlight with these powders, I feel that they pick up very little amount of highlight and thus gives a gentle sweep or rather a light wash of colour.

I love using the Hourglass Ambient Lighting palette's middle shade as a browbone and brow highlight, it looks beautiful and very skin-like when blended in. The lightest of them all, I hardly use it on it's own. I feel it's a touch icy by itself instead I like to swirl all three shades with a big face brush for an overall radiant finish. Just hitting it softly onto the parameters of the face.

You can hardly go heavy hand with this palette. This palette I feel is well suited for brides and for natural sophisticated makeup look lovers. I would think that I am more of a natural makeup look lover and this palette well has my heart as well. I have been using this palette well over a year and I have not hit pan on it, as yet. Another plus is that these powders do not emphasize texture as per my observation.

There is plenty of product for more makeup days to come! Bear in mind that this opinion of mine is based on my mid complexion of a mid toned yellow with golden undertones. Needless to add that I have been loving it. I could still see how this palette is universal and fit complexions across the board. I madly am in love with this!

From the heavy swatches on the back of my hand, you could see how these highlights deliver the pigment with a soft glow from within. No chunks of heavy glitter or sheen, it hits the light with a soft box light effect. It's a strobe wonder!

I can't say enough about the Hourglass Ambient Lighting palette. I believe I have given you enough reasons to help you with your buying decision and yes, go for it! 

I shall catch up very soon in my next post soon.

Stay Safe!
