Let There be Light: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette

I think I’m in love. *inhales deeply exhales deeply* Yes, true love. Let me introduce you to Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette. Just in case you haven’t already met, this will be THE best powder you ever buy.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette

So, let there be light. You know the kind of light you see in those editorial shots, the kind of light that turns mortals into gods and models into ethereal beings of beauty. Yes, that light. Well, it just so happens that you don’t need a ring light and a best friend with a photography studio, you just need to get your hands on one of these dreamy palettes and get dusting.

Turns out I was a little late to the hourglass party. Sure I’d had one of the ambient lighting bronzers in my makeup collection forever, and thought it was absolutely dreamy, but the proverbial penny hadn’t dropped.

By luck more then judgement I happened upon the palette in the John Lewis sale ( I know, i’m literally a leprechaun when it comes to being lucky right?!) I scooped it up and haven’t looked back since. Except to check out my new and significantly improved reflection in anything remotely reflective at every given opportunity since.

You see this powder is something else. Something quite transformative. The powders are able to diffuse the light, creating a beautifully soft appearance to the skin. Texture issues, be gone! Fin lines and wrinkles, be gone! You get the picture.

What the Experts say: Hourglass

“Create your perfect light with this palette featuring three shades of Ambient® Lighting Powder, which utilize Photoluminescent Technology to filter out harsh light and refine the appearance of the complexion. Each of these high-tech, soft-focus finishing powders recreate an exquisitely flattering light source. The powders can be applied individually or layered to imbue skin with a multidimensional glow.”

And here is what it does;

• Powders mimic universally flattering light sources, not unlike having a personal lighting technician at your disposal. Well who doesn’t want a little piece of that action?!
• By manipulating and filtering out harsh light, powders conceal skin imperfections, pores and wrinkles. Ummmm Yes please!
• State-of-the-art formula delivers a multi-dimensional luminescence to every skin tone, making it appear softer, younger and perfectly lit. Again! Yes please!!!
• Universal powders make them suitable for every skin tone, while each can be worn day and night. Hallelujah finally something we can all rest assured we can use, whatever our skin tone.
• The finishing powders enhance skin in any type of light, including flash photography. Instagram will never be the same again.
• Ambient® Lighting Powders named to Vogue 100 Beauty Hall of Fame. And that people is an accolade you can’t argue with

So to that end I cannot recommend this product highly enough. I have marched 2 friends so far to the doors of Space NK, promising the transformative touch of the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette. Neither were disappointed.

I shall continue my crusade tirelessly, however you’ll never notice the bags under my eyes because I’ll be too busy looking fabulous in a delicious shade of Dim Light! Hooray.

Buy with confidence, she’s expensive at £59, but worth every penny of the investment.

If you’d like to see how I use my hourglass products, head on over to my YouTube where I will be publishing a video this week.

Enjoy.
