If you get the chance to try Ambient Lighting Palette before buying, that would be nice. There is a natural glow we all have that doesn’t need to be faked.
#ELF AMBIENT LIGHT PALETTE SKIN#
I also feel that our brown Indian skin anyway has less need for a finishing powder. It works just as well as the best finishing powder. Its just that its not revolutionary as the majority of the reviews suggest. I sure like it and would repurchase at the high price as well. It is a really nice finishing powder, but nothing that deserves so much attention and praise. It fits really well in my palm.Īfter the brouhaha surrounding Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette, I was expecting my face to transform into perfection with no blemishes and only angel dust. For some reason it looks a lot larger in the pictures than it actually is. Packaging – The outer case is a deep brown shiny one that reflects light and is also a fingerprint magnet. Ouch! I didn’t get the brush – and I use an old Chanel one from the mineral compact that I had ages ago. Although there is a specific brush made for this – Hourglass sells this separately at US $ 35. You need to pick this up with a nice fluffy brush to get the best result. Texture – The powders are extremely soft and just swiping one with your hand will result in a lot of loose powder dust being kicked up. Again, something I can use as an all over finishing powder.

This looks marginally different in the pan but once blended on my skin, it resembles the Dim Light a lot. Radiant Light – A sun-kissed golden beige powder that enhances the complexion with believable, subtle warmth. It is rather light and I need to blend it in. This looks most like a highlighter on my skin. Incandescent Light – An opalescent pearl powder that brightens the complexion with a celestial glow. I can use this as a daily finishing powder. High Definition Powder is a translucent, versatile. I was curious if it would work similar to one of the Hourglass ambient lighting powders and how it would differ from the ELF Illuminating Palette. I have used the original ELF High Definition Powder before, but had never seen the Soft Luminance shade. This shade is closest to my natural skin colour and therefore shows up the least in a swatch. Recently I picked up the ELF High Definition Powder in Soft Luminance. Each shade is only 3.3 gms making it really small.ĭim Light – A neutral peach beige powder that blur imperfections and highlights the complexion. These are finishing powders meant to give your skin a ethereal glow and fade out blemishes and spots. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette has three shades Dim Light, Incandescent Light and Radiant Light. When I got a chance to order this through a visiting family member, I jumped at the opportunity. Everyone, except, that is the poor people in India, with no access the brand whatsoever. Then they went ahead and launched the palette and everyone and their pet toad got themselves one. I was willing to jump through hoops to get one of these. I rued that they were so difficult to track down in India. Hourglass cosmetics launched their ambient lighting powders a few years back and they received a cult following on most online blogs.
