Filtered Light – a warmer, deeper beige that might be too dark for very light skin tones as an all over finishing powder but could work for contour.I apply this one all over my face after I’ve applied foundation and focus particularly in the centre of my face. It doesn’t claim to prolong your makeup or keep oil at bay. Not to be confused with a setting powder, this finishing powder is to soften and diffuse light and gives your skin a beautiful, soft, natural glow. On me this blends seamlessly with my skin colour. ![]() Soft Light – a pale beige that suits fair to light skin tones best, or can be used as a brightening powder under eyes and other targeted areas.Note: Each individual powder pan shown below – left is in natural sunlight and right is in natural dim light. I was eager to put this to the test as Hourglass is most known for their light diffusing powders and we’ve all probably been in situations where certain lighting can be very harsh and unflattering for our skin. The 6 exclusive shades are all formulated with pure Photoluminescent Technology to capture, diffuse and soften surrounding light for skin that appears softer, younger and lit from within. Hourglass typically release a limited edition annual holiday palette which combines mostly existing products in their line already, with maybe a couple new shades thrown into the mix – which is what they’ve also done for this year’s Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Volume 4 that was released this October 12th. What makes this Unlocked palette extra special is that it features 6 brand new and exclusive shades. Palette comes with an info booklet showing you how to use each powder It can still be found at Liberty London right now. I did however manage to get it for £15 off on SpaceNK but it has now sold out there. It retails for a hefty £69 for a total of 1.4g of product (which is 0.049 oz 圆). I’ve really been gravitating towards all in one face palettes recently I travel a lot and it’s so handy to be able to grab one palette that I can use to do my contour, highlight and blush. However in September, Hourglass came out with this special limited edition Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette and as soon as I saw it pop up on my instagram feed I was obsessed. I bought the small travel size version of their Veil Mineral Primer earlier in the year because so many people rave about it – I’m glad I didn’t get the full size as I wasn’t too impressed and it didn’t really do anything for my skin if anything I felt like it made my t-zone oily quicker and my foundation slide around more in that area. Their products are expensive so I’ve managed to avoid falling down the Hourglass rabbit hole until now. ![]() If you’re not familiar with Hourglass, it is a high-end, luxury American cosmetics brand.
