Midnight Hour

rms beauty Midnight Hour Luminizing Powder ($38.00 for 0.52 oz.) is a medium-dark, peachy gold with warm undertones and a luminous, lightly shiny finish. The powder had a smooth, cream-like feel to it–silky, lightweight, and thin without being dry or powdery. It had high coverage that applied evenly and blended out easily (so it could also be applied sheerer if desired). The powder sat well on my skin without emphasizing my skin’s natural texture, and it had a particularly smooth, almost “melted” look after blended out. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview

$38.00/0.52 oz. - $73.08 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "silky smooth, moisturizing, [and] luminizing." The three shades that it comes in were consistent: very pigmented, creamy and smooth to the touch, and lasted between eight and nine hours. The texture was thinner and firmer, as there was no powderiness, but it was yielding and easy to pick up with a brush. The powders applied evenly to bare skin, blended out easily, and never emphasized my skin's natural texture.

Medium, Olive, neutral undertones. Combination skin.

It’s that soft, more melted look of this that grabbed me! Exactly what I love in a more daytime apopros “summer in AZ”, look. That it has a Catrice dupe that looks near identical, though, has me leaning towards that one instead. Perhaps…?

I love this powder ! It’s amazing. I purchased the rms savannah peach collection because I think this powder is that good!!

Are you wearing it more like a blush in this photo? It’s so natural looking it’s hard to for me to see it. 🙂

Light Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin.

It is on my cheekbones and cheek.

I love RMS and clean beauty, is there a lighter version of this? Looks great on you! The eye look is also so pretty but I say the grades for the T.F. Liquid shadows. What liquid/cream shadows are your favorites? There are so many new ones out now! Thanks ?

Alecto

Light, Yellow, strong yellow undertones. Combination skin.

Wonderfully subtle!

This is a brand I’ve been interested in learning more about. While this specific shade does not suit me, I see they have a lighter shade in the range.

Helene

Very Light, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Combination skin.

Beautiful! It almost look as if there’s nothing there, just a lovely glow. Very pretty!
Not a colour I could wear, but to all who can, congrats!
