Hourglass Ambient Powder Wardrobe
$76rrp. Mecca Maxima
This little highlighting pallet has been in my sights for some time. I just knew I had to have it because I had heard so many great things about it; however the price tag on it scared me (much like most Hourglass products). It wasn't until I had a whole bunch of birthday money burning a hole in my pocket that I decided it was time to take the leap! You want to know something? I am so glad I did!
The packaging of this product is sooo luxurious and perfect for travelling. It comes with three different powders:
Dim Light- This powder (left) once applied leaves the most subtle glow ever, no glittery pieces to to seen what so ever! I believe the purpose of this powder is to be dusted over the entire face for a natural glow/dewy look and also to blur large pores or imperfections. I don't usually put this over my entire face as I like to use it sparingly, however; I do use it to set my under eye concealer on the odd occasion just to camouflage my tired eyes and bring back a youthful glow.
Incandescent Light- This powder is the limited edition one in the mix (middle shade). This colour is the most beautiful pearlescent/champagne colour to use for highlighting. It looks amazing on the cheeks bones and adds the most natural glow to the skin. I use this one in a "C" motion coming up from my cheek bones and curling into my brow bone. On days where I want extra dewy skin I will also apply some on the bridge of my nose and cupids bow. I guess what sets this highlighter apart from most others on the market is how finely milled the powder is, this is the most natural highlighter I have yet to come across.
Radiant Light- I loooove this highlight shade (right) as it warms up my complexion and gives me an amazing sun kissed glow. If a bronzer and a highlighter were to have a baby, this would be it! It gives off the most natural warm glow making it so easy to look like a bronzed beach babe.
These swatches are in the same order of the palette.
I have built them up so the camera could capture their colour.
The one thing the camera didn't pick up was the gorgeous glow that these highlights have,
so you may have to take my word on that one.
These highlighters would be perfect for the more natural looks such as every day wear, bridal makeup or for people who don't really like looking too dewy. They can be worn natural but certainly can be built up. Personally I adore my little Ambient Powder Wardrobe but if you are someone who loves to rock a dramatic highlight then this one may not be for you.
I am currently saving my dollars to give the Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer a go, I have heard some AMAZING things about it! Will keep you posted on that one.
