Diffused Edit

Hourglass Diffused Edit Ambient Lighting Trio ($64.00 for 0.29 oz.) is a new, Nordstrom-exclusive palette that includes a finishing powder, blush, and bronzer; all three shades are from the permanent range, so any could be purchased individually if desired. The blush was substantially more blush-dominant in the marbling, which resulted in a much darker blush color than my past two iterations, but otherwise, the feel, performance, blendability, and wear were in line across all three products to their permanent counterparts.

I think this format is preferable to the larger, six-pan palette, but it's disappointing, though hardly surprising, that there is only one variation offered. I'd really like to see a departure from one-size-fits-all kind of cheek palettes industry-wide and movement toward offering light, medium, and deep options.
