Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder Review

I have Dim Light in the travel size and I love it. I wear tinted moisturiser sometimes and when I use this as my face powder, it give such a luminous soft focus effect. No shimmer or sparkle, just glow. It's an extremely fine, smooth powder and it never clings to any dry patches I might have. I have a tan olive skin tone and this shade works well for me. I also build it up on my cheekbones as a highlighter which I love the look of. Makes my skin look perfected. The compact is an elegant bronze in a sleek square shape. It even has a mirror in the lid, which I appreciate when I'm on the go. Couldn't be happier!

This was recommended to me instead of a highlighter while talking to one of the assistants in Mecca (for a subtle glow). When I tried it I was initially disappointed as it was not as glowy as I wanted but then I realised it’s more of a setting powder. I have oily combo skin and normally only want glow on my cheeks not everywhere else but after applying this OMG!!!! This was just beautiful, so beautiful I went out and bought it in another shade for the more tanned time of year. I have used this so much that I’ve had to replace it after 3 months but believe that one compact will usually last at least 6 months (I went crazy with mine and put it on my body too). Mecca also stock smaller sizes for around $35 so you can try one of them before you splash out on the larger size as it’s not cheap at $60 (ish). This is my favourite product in my collection and can’t wait to try more products by this brand.

Love this for setting my makeup. I have dry / combo skin and this gives my makeup such a natural radiant finish without looking cakey or oily.

This is literally magic!! I never knew I could glow the way this powder makes me. It’s a finely milled powder, that is buildable if you want to use as a highlighter in certain spots. Never ever looks to “shimmery” is a great alternative to a setting powder. I buy this again and again. Only downfall is during summer when I’m super tanned I tend to have to use quite a lot to see a difference, that’s more my shade difference than the product but worth noting. Can use as a bronzer too depo I g on which shade you purchase. Bit spendy but lasts forever. Highly highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed!!

I was really on the fence about forking out for this product, I had just purchased the bronzer and really loved it and had a friend rave about this one too, so I went out on a limb and brought Luminous Light off the Mecca website.

Hourglass has beautiful packaging, I don't think anyone can deny that—although, I get a little frustrated with getting fingerprints all over it. However, the packaging stacks up it's beautiful and it is hard wearing too (could easily be thrown into your handbag).

The product lasts what feels like forever! I purchased this about 10 – 12 months ago and I use it daily... It looks like I haven't even touched it! It provides a gorgeous glow all over the face and can be built up to a subtle highlighter if that's what you're after too.

I had a wee splurge and purchased some hourglass products that I have been wanting to try for years because they are huge favorites of many people on social media you tube however because of the price of these stunning products I held off purchasing but I'm so excited to have them in my collection now! Hourglass products are very much a luxurious brand and cost a pretty penny. The packaging of these powders are amazing very sturdy and look stunning. I have the shades Dim Light (Neutral Beige) and Soft Light (Pale Peach) both look stunning on I wish they had a tad more pigmentation for a bit more coverage but they are finishing powders so not made for alot of coverage, this would be my only reason for not repurchasing once I have finished them just because I do like a wee bit of coverage with my powders and like them to set my cream products, finishing powders don't set cream products the best but again they are not really intended for that purpose they are just to diffuse the skin for a beautiful light finish, none the less these are still stunning. These powders have a really interesting formula they feel very light and airy and glide over the skin. I would only recommend these powders if you use finishing powders alot in your routine and have the cash to splash.

I have both Diffused Light and Dim light and I love them both! After I've finished my makeup I love to brush this over my face to give a beautiful soft glow which also makes the skin to appear more airbrushed. These aren't cheap but soooo worth it. Plus you can purchase minis
