Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette Unlocked Limited Edition There are three new shades – Soft Flush and Sunset Glow blush and Golden Champaign strobe. Finally, two blush shades which need just a touch with a brush to bring colour. They also contain two strobe powders which have translucent light reflection in them so you can enhance and draw light to cheekbones (I’ve never understood the brow bone highlight thing) that’s understated and elegant rather than metallic and obvious. Each palette contains two finishing powders, light as air whispers of brightening and mattifying powder. It’s taken me a long time to understand these palettes – they’re really for people who love the intricate detail of make-up and the sheer pleasure of using light reflection and colour to create a flawless finish, although with that said, they’re really more user friendly than you might imagine so just as good for quick flick of the brush and go. For all the plain mascaras and red lipsticks that pass through, much as I am happy to see them, they don’t exactly light the same fire, and I always feel grateful for things that are so impactful. In fact, I could take pictures all day really because I’m so drawn to the visuals – this is when my job is an absolute joy. When something like this comes in, I can’t wait to get my camera and start taking pictures. And, I know, 5% doesn’t sound like much, but Hourglass is a global brand under the Unilever umbrella so I feel there will be a significant donation from this collection. Hourglass has for some time been a supporter of the Nonhuman Rights Project and 5% of annual profits will go straight there. How do you bring something different to a successful line that keeps the aesthetic and the integrity of the brand? It looks like Hourglass has found the answer in these illustrated palettes using artist Katie Scott to depict wildlife vividly and impactfully. All reviews are always my own honest and unbiased opinions.I absolutely adore these new, limited edition Hourglass palettes for winter 2022. If you enjoy a subtle highlight as I do then you will adore Dim Light and Incandescent Light for a gorgeous, natural glow.įor more information on the Ambient Lighting Powders you can check out my previous reviews here and here.Īvailable now at and coming soon to Barneys New York, Bergdorf Goodman, Sephora, and Space NK.įollow Perilously Pale via Twitter | Pinterest | Instagram | Bloglovin They are still very refined and subtle and suitable for all over use with a light hand. When I say noticeable shimmer I mean in comparison to the other shades of Ambient Lighting Powder. Incandescent has lovely fine greeny/blue and pink micro shimmer in a soft nude pink base while Radiant is golden micro shimmer in a bronze base. The new shade Incandescent Light as well as Radiant Light have more noticeable shimmer. ![]() It has the same finish as Mood Light which makes it a little more glowy than Ethereal Light and Diffused Light while still not being shimmery. I have been itching to own Dim Light ever since these were released. Swatches with the other Ambient Lighting shades I own Mood Light, Ethereal Light, Diffused Light, then Dim Light, Incandescent Light, Radiant Light Swatches of Dim Light, Incandescent Light, Radiant Light
