I got four out of six of the blushes, reason being the Ethereal Glow is a bit too pale for my light-medium complexion (they do show up on the skin but requires a few layers, and I just can’t be bothered to layer up my blush) and the ever-so-popular Dim Infusion was sold out. Boohoo! These powders are very powdery when you swirl your brush on the pan, however they do not apply or look powdery on the skin at all. They’re so easy to smooth out! Available in eight shades, create any luminous look desired with the Hourglass Ambient Lighting blush. Apply with the No. 2 Foundation/Blush Brush after swirling it across the entire compact to collect the desired blend of powder and pigments.

The brand is popular among MUAs and everyday beauty fans alike, and all products are vegan and cruelty-free. About My Skin: Even-toned but sallow

Diffused Light is a translucent, yellowed beige with subtle, warm undertones and a natural finish. As a finishing powder, it had translucent coverage that applied a veil of natural-looking powder all-over the skin. The texture was silky-smooth, finely-milled, and easy to work with, and it performed consistently with past iterations I’ve tested of this shade (in palettes and as a standalone product). A TRIO OF CORALS: Diffused Heat is lighter than Radiant Magenta and Luminous Flush; Radiant Magenta is brighter, a smidgen lighter, and pinker compared to Luminous Flush. Unlike conventional blush powders, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush creates vivid cheeks that are never dull or one-dimensional. Photo-luminescent technology works to deliver depth and vivacious colour. This blush captures the light to create a soft glow on the cheeks. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush uses the renowned miscelare technique, and works to provide a vivid finish that complements and enhances the entire complexion.

Hourglass is extremely well known for its strikingly beautiful ambient lighting powders, blushes & bronzers, as well as its super popular veil mineral primer. The Hourglass palettes are not a “value” kind of palette–you aren’t getting a ton of product for your money, but you are able to get six products for less than the cost of purchasing six, individual and full-sized products, which is really the upside. If you’re someone who expects to mix between the two finishing powders, then the size of each palette may not be a big deal, but using them alone is a pain point for those who like working with a traditional powder brush. I just find they get over-applied by using smaller brushes and/or take forever to apply.Ooh, I could swoon all day just by looking at the marbling and swirls of colors of these lovely blushes! that is, or may reasonably be considered to be submitted in extreme volumes and as such be deemed as ‘spam’; If blush and highlighter had a baby, this would be it. Rather than coating your cheeks in a a single shade, Hourglass has combined a blush with the brand's iconic Ambient Lighting Powder to create a multidimensional product that doesn’t sit flat or heavy on the skin, is lightweight, and perks up dull complexions. I love that this doesn’t go overboard in terms of highlighting—no one wants a disco ball cheek—but leaves just enough of a subtle shimmer to boost radiance. The powder is buildable and has a velvety feel that I’d gladly reapply. For a flawless flush that will never fall flat, Hourglass has devised an irresistible new way to blush: Ambient Lighting Blush. This ground-breaking hybrid fuses the universally flattering radiance of the brands beloved Ambient Lighting Powder with vivid, uplifting colour to provide a seamless, soft-focus finish.

These have a velvety smooth finish and gives a slight glow to the skin, but not as “glowy” or “luminous” of a sheen as the Clinique Cheek Pop though.

Packaging

COOLEST-TONED: Ethereal Glow (by a long shot!) is the only truly cool-toned shade. Mood Exposure may possibly look cooler-toned on fairer, naturally cooler-toned skin (I can’t get it to look very plum on me, but in the pan, it looks cooler-toned). This particular shade can make my skin appear slightly darker if I can’t use a larger powder brush with it, which I struggle to use with this palette as the individual pans are on the smaller side–better for small, tapered highlighting brushes and blush brushes but less ideal for a powder brush.
