ALL 3 HOURGLASS HOLIDAY PALETTES TESTED! Jellyfish, Leopard & Snake | A GAZILLION Swatches + Demos

[@emilymi1674]

You did the best swatches of this palette!! I’ve seen over 20 different videos. Yours is the best one to show the difference. Thanks!

[@FabiMadeup]

Yay! Glad it was helpful Emily :)

[@MarniMedia]

I agree -- these have been the absolute best swatches of ANY video of these palettes.

[@AsianFreak77]

Excellent review! Love how you do the group swatches by bronzers, blushes and highlighters. It was really helpful to see the slight difference each palette has. Also like how your lighting is not too bright like how others are. New sub! Thank you.

[@FabiMadeup]

I’m so glad to hear that the group swatches were helpful 👏 I’m always open to feedback to improve my reviews, so if you ever have any ideas/suggestions I’d love to know. Thanks!

this video was in my KZbin recommended and they were correct. I know these palettes aren't available but some of the shades are available individually so this is a big help.

Wow!!! I'm super impressed with your thorough review of all 3 pallets! I was debating between 2 and 3, but that snake pallet is calling my name. Thank you 🐍🤎

[@FabiMadeup]

Choosing between the leopard and snake is tough, glad to hear the video helped you choose. 👏 Thanks for watching!

[@surfinjan]

I can actually see a difference in the leopard blushes on your cheeks, particularly mood exposure (which looks almost prune-colored on you vs iridescent rose (which looks gorgeous on you IMHO). I do think the snake palette looks really good on you. Better on you than me and I'm a true tan shade. Oddly, the leopard works best on me.

[@FabiMadeup]

How interesting that the leopard suited you better than the snake (since you’re tanner than me). Must have something to do with the undertones maybe. Thanks for sharing!

[@monicafaustino4002]

Hey do you have a olive skin tone ? I have a medium somewhat light olive skin tone. Would you recommend the leopard palette for my skin tone?

[@surfinjan]

​​@@monicafaustino4002- it's difficult to discuss my undertone as I'm olive but ruddy in the cheeks. But, yes, the leopards will probably look good on you. I tried to respond but msg kept getting erased. I have both leopard and snake. Leopard blushes are rose toned or plum. Snake Palette are corals and light copper and stronger in shades.

[@monicafaustino4002]

@@surfinjan thank you so much for your reply. I did end up purchasing the leopard colour scheme with the jellyfish packaging as I wanted a palette for everyday use that gave me a natural and muted look. I hope it arrives soon.thank you ✨

[@zulinetperez3618]

New subscriber! This is the first time watching one of your videos and I absolutely loved it! Loved the way you compared and applied everything. I was lucky to have my Ulta put out these palettes before they were supposed to and I jumped on the jellyfish one. This was actually my first ever hourglass purchase. I love it! But I couldn’t stop thinking about the color story of the snake palette. Last night I got on my Ulta app ordered the snake palette, Natasha Denona I need a nude palette ( have never tried any of her palettes either) and the two faced holiday hangover lip balm trio. I had a 20% off coupon plus points. All these items came out to be $18. I’m so excited to try those 2 palettes. Can’t wait to bing watch all your videos! Greetings from Alaska!

[@FabiMadeup]

Hi! Welcome to my channel! That’s an epic Ulta haul, you are going to loove the ND palette. When u said Hourglass at Ulta I was like, wait Hourglass is at Ulta?! Totally forgot about that *brain fart*. I went on the app just now, the Hourglass phantom glossy lip balms are calling my name. I gotta see if I I have points. So what do u think of their powders niw that u have the Jellyfish? Also, some of my older videos are cringe-y. At least to me. I’ve experimented with different ways of editing… anyways, you’ve been warned lol🙈

[@zulinetperez3618]

@@FabiMadeup hahaha! I’m sure your older videos are just fine. You have to start from somewhere! It was a great Ulta haul! It actually came out to $18 because I paid for expedited shipping. I actually love the hourglass powders! I do have to build the bronzer a bit and I’m a light medium complexion. I figure if I can’t use all the colors from the snake palette on my face I could certainly use them on my eyes. But I think I could make them work with a light hand and fluffier brushes.

[@FabiMadeup]

Yeah, with the jellyfish bronzer i had to build it up quite a bit, what is incredible about these powders though is that even if you pile on several layers, they don’t look cakey like other powders would. Totally, if any of the snake shades are too much on your face, they’ll at least still work on the eyes. When I did the demo I’m wearing the bronzer and highlighter on my eyes and it looks so good😍

[@elenamardas3644]

I love the way you styled your hair and also the shade of your lip stick :)

[@FabiMadeup]

Thank you so much 😀 I don't remember what lipstick I was wearing but I'll be sure to remember listing that info in the description box on future videos.

[@mischaelleflores4744]

I bought the Leopard pallet through beautylish since its sold out in sephora canada and I must say im very happy with my purchase. This is my first palette from HG so I have no regret at all. Very beautiful ☺️🙈

Excellent review! It's a really fantastic review. Congrats! Do I have to choose just one?😢 The best for me it's Leopard. It's going to be my first palette from Hourglass. I think your palette is Snake. Thank you for your review. 🥰🥰

[@FabiMadeup]

Hi 👋 When I recorded this video I thought Snake was my favorite in part because the Leopard bronzer wasn't showing on my skin, but in a later video I used the Leopard bronzer with a denser brush and I really, really liked it. So def both Leopard and Snake work for me. I'm excited for you to get your hands on your first Hourglass palette!

[@gluckwunschwinston5618]

Hi love! You're beautiful in every single one! Thank you for the review 🙏 which brush did you use for the bronzers at 06:07 and 10:28?

[@FabiMadeup]

Hi! Oops, sorry I didn't mention the brush names in the video. For both timestamps I'm using the same brush, the Sigma F10 Powder/Blush brush. Hope that helps!

[@uzmachoudry6669]

Great comparison - so useful. Which palette do you have filming this video (not the swatch tests) ? Thanks

[@FabiMadeup]

The snake palette :)

[@mejustme9942]

I have a medium olive skin tone. which palettes would you recommend? my shade in Dior is 3wo warm olive or 4wo warm olive. which is similar to my skin. also, just one more question can the shades be layered. thanks for the video it's really hard to find people with medium skin in the makeup field so I'm always happy when I find someone I can relate to.

Gracias magnifica reseña y muy definitiva ❤

[@FabiMadeup]

Que bueno que te sirvió 😄

[@sherylbeamer7189]

Thank you, the snake was gorgeous on you…I’m fair but purchased the snake because the colors were shouting out to me and I felt the jellyfish was too much like a prior palette I own. I plan to use a very very light hand

[@FabiMadeup]

Hi! I’m curious what you’ll think about Sunbeam (blush) because when i filmed the video i thought it was too metallic, but i wore it to dinner the ither night and it looked really good in that dimly lit setting 🔥😍

[@emilymi1674]

The sunbeam can be eyeshow, I think it would be pretty. I struggle to get leopard or snake, I am afraid it would be too dark, but I am kinda light medium golden skin tone. Maybe it would be ok with light hand.

[@emilymi1674]

How was it finally? Is it okay for your fair skin?

Hello! Thank you 💜🙏 it will be my Firts time with HR… I have light-skinned, but not Snow White skin. and I have brown hair… which one I should take for me ? 🌸🙏

[@FabiMadeup]

Hi! I'm thinking that both the Jellyfish and Leopard would work. Because there are only 3 palette options, I initially thought that the depth range would be drastic. That one would definitely be too light for me (suited for fair skin tones) and another one so deep that it would be unwearable for me. But that's not the case. Turns out I could make all 3 work. Hope that helps :)

[@МериМ-у6л]

Wow! You are amazing !! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@writingvampires]

Such a detailed review. Thank you! Is the lighting powder in the snake palette too dark / shimmery on your skin?

[@FabiMadeup]

Hi! Which powder do you mean? If you're referring to the finishing powder, no, it is not too dark for me. It doesn't give me any coverage, it's like a translucent powder on my skin tone. It doesn't have any shimmer particles either. It gives you that very soft (almost undetectable) radiance that Hourglass finishing powders give, if you're familiar with the brand. If you were asking about the highlighter, it's a shimmery gold color. I prefer wearing it on my eyes because I find it too intense on my cheeks during the day. But for an evening look I can pull it off on the cheeks. Hope that helps!

[@hayleythomas787]

They all look gorgeous on you! I am blonde with medium skin. Not sure you can answer this but would the snake be suitable or would I be better placed with the leopard. TIA!

[@FabiMadeup]

Hey Hayley, yikes, sorry for the late reply! I think both the leopard and snake would work for you... but it really depends on how "punchy" you like your makeup. For ex, now that I've had the palettes for a few weeks, I find myself reaching for the Leopard one for quick, everyday makeup because it's easier to use in the sense that it's hard to over do it. I reach for the snake when I have more time to do my makeup since I do have to be intentional about using a light hand. But in your case, since your skin tone is a bit darker than mine, you won't have to be as "careful" as me with the snake. Leopard will still work for you IMO. But yeah, it's a tough one. Have you picked one or did you decide to pass on it? I'd love to know :)

Hi @dilnaznalladaru9263 ! So happy to have you 😃

[@emilymi1674]

I am an Asian, light medium skin. Do you think the snake palette will be too dark for me? Due the new shades, wanna get the snake one but not so sure it would be too dark.

[@FabiMadeup]

Hey Emily, I’m a light medium too. Just to give you a better idea, foundations that match me include Pat McGrath light med 9, Mario 5N, NARS Punjab, Haus Labs 270, Hourglass Soft Glow 8. If my skin were any lighter I think I would deem the snake too intense for my taste. I like my makeup to be more focused on the eyes, not so much the cheeks. But it depends on what effect you like and are going for. You might like it if you’re into more blush-focused looks. Hope that helps 😊
