Ambient Lighting Edit Palette

By Tiffany 5 years ago.

I bought this to try the formula of the powders before buying a full size. The face powder, bronzer and highlighters are very beautiful on the skin. But I don't really like the formula of the blushes. These powders are sheer and buildable with microshimmer. The shimmer isn't too visible applying the bronzer and the bronzer is buildable but the blushes are a bit too sheer. Because of the large amounts of shimmer in the blush I find it hard to get a good application. The blushes end up too shimmery on my cheeks before I'm able to build up the pigment. I like most of the powders but I wouldn't repurchase this or larger single blushes.

I had never purchased a full-face palette before this one, and I just adore it. I use it almost every day. It is an expensive product, but I love that Hourglass is a luxury brand that remains committed to remaining Cruelty-Free, and their powder products are just unparalleled. This one is a great match for my fair skin-tone, though admittedly it would not work for medium to deep skin-tones most likely. This palette has two blushes, a highlighter, two finishing powders, and a bronzer. If I had to nit-pick, I would have loved for the two blush tones to be a bit more different from one another (maybe a pink and a peach?) and for the highlighter to be a bit more neutral and less-pink. I wouls also love larger pan sizes, just for more ease to get brushes in more nimbly. That said, I use every powder in this palette and enjoy them all. I can also achieve beautiful eye-looks as well as the full range of face products. Love this palette.

This palette is beautiful. The products inside I felt were just as good in individual pans. Sometimes I use the highlighters as finishing powders since it's sheer enough. The bronzer is my go-to bronzer for daily use since it's not too dark. The highlighters and bronzer stay 5-6 hours for me without touch ups. It ticks all the boxes for me, however I feel like they should have made the palette bigger. I don't feel like I got my moneys worth. (which is why one star is off)
