Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders: Review/Demo

[@basilchampignon]

I've gone through so many videos reviewing these and most of them have some vapid person just rambling on and on before giving scattered information on the product. This is by far the best review- not boring but explains everything about the product in a non-confusing way.

[@lv5106]

Some vapid person lmao 😂

[@MissEMc2]

I think you did the best video breaking down the Ambient powders!! I watched this years ago & have come back to it a few times when I wanted a new color or even a new Ambient blush or bronzer because those are also mixed with the original powders. I really just wanted to Thank You for this video!!!! 🙏👏👏

[@DustinHunter]

Erin Mc Thank you so much for posting this! It’s wonderful to read! I’m so glad this has been helpful for you, especially more than once! Thank you for taking the time to share!

[@clarisaexplainsitall79]

New subscriber! Your voice, it's so calming to me. I could listen to you all day.

[@Squirrely1]

OMG I just came on today and thought the EXACT SAME THING!!!

[@TheBoots72]

ASMR

[@alicia6360]

You're the first person I've seen actually apply it to their face finally! Great demeanor and great review!

[@LittleMissLady24]

My wallet feels very unsafe right now..I have the trio palette..but now I want to go back for mood and diffused/ethereal..ahh! Great review!

[@SharonFarrell]

Your voice is just...the most...I can't even...I so so love your video's Dustin!

[@Foofie2005]

Dustin.... You are a great teacher ! I remember when I had no knowledge of Mac Makeup, I learned Sooo much from your wonderful videos ! And now I know more about the Ambient powders too. And of course I want one.. At least one ..now !! Thanks, Stacy 🌺

[@songy67]

Your review is extremely helpful! Bad for my wallet, but helpful. I picked up Ethereal and Diffused in the VIB sale, and now I'm regretting not also getting Mood Light. I may have to go back for it anyway. I apply these with a NARS Ita Kabuki brush, which is thin and flat, so I can sweep the powder across my skin for a light, even application.

[@TeanerellaX]

Finally!!! A review that is an actual helpful REVIEW and not just someone talking about how great they are for 10 minutes.... thank you! This was the first time seeing one of your videos...but it won't be my last!

[@guidododo4822]

Thank you, Dustin! Great Review, Very professionally put. Finally, a review that discusses the produc without talking about his/her entire life history.

[@womanofacertainage5892]

Great information, love all you wrote in the description box. I have a small travel size of Dim Light and as you said, once you start it's hard to stop buying them. My travel size is getting low so I was just wondering what to get in addition to more Dim Light, so thank you for the great information!

[@maggiepadron4320]

Woman of a Certain Age you should get the full size instead of the travel, youre basically spending the money of half of a full size powder but only getting a tenth of the powder

[@kathyabeauty]

You've just convinced me to get Mood light! Thank you for your review! lol "not sleeping.."

[@blankblank5524]

Kathy Aay Beauty I know,I really want the mood light,too!

[@ellerenee5452]

This was an excellent review. I could see the product on your skin unlike ALL the other videos I watched. You were detailed and to the point! Thanks for that! I just purchased Luminous light and radiant light; I'm really looking forward to using them. :)

[@LindahsxD]

You're right. At first I bought the Ambient Lighting Palette and just fell in love with it. Then I reordered Dim Light and a few other ones so right now I have about 5 of their colors. If any of you do not have one, I swear, you HAVE to get at least one and see it for yourself! It's to die for seriously.

[@Satine_Moisant]

Oh thank GOD!! At last a decent review! Well done!! Not a single, "Um, like..." to be HAD! I'm buying these because of this review!!

[@bootsieragansings]

Thanks for the helpful video! Yep, I started with Mood, which makes a stunner blush on my fair skin. Then came diffused, which looks lovely over my moisturiser for daily wear. Now I am testing Dim, which is a light bronzer. I lovr them all, and I previously did not wear powders much on my face. These are truly almost umdetectable to the normal eye.

[@susantiaristiya7674]

Omg!!! You gave the most detail on the product. Watched it 5 times and re-watch it again. Thank you for the review and now I am really need these powders.

[@shootsandladders26]

So helpful! I was on the fence with this, as I've got the palette and think it's just too much for how much I would use it (because I didn't really know how). But now I will get the singles in Dim, Mood, and Diffused. THEY SHOULD MAKE THIS INTO A PALETTE amirite??! You're so funny anyway lol

[@Misfit-club]

Man you just make me smile so much. I love you and your videos. You're definitely a youtuber that just instantly puts me in a good mood!

[@TheJoshCollier]

Awesome review Dustin! So glad to see how much you like them (I know, they're addicting!). Also, thanks for linking my video :)

[@laureah21]

I love Mood light for adding colour to my face. Its as you say a beautiful blush Im a NC20/25 warm and freckles. This looks great on me all over lightly as well

[@yokimzo]

I have dim, etheral, mood, and diffused. I am a little darker than u. I use mood on contour areas over bronzer to soften the look. Like you, I also can use mood as a blush. I like to lightly put it over a blush. I either use dim, etheral, or diffused all over my face. Dim and diffused are my favorite. Great review!

[@Sikboi09]

I have Dim, which I bought on a slightly tipsy trip to Sephora in Vegas, Never quite knew how to use it so thank you! Also you are adorable and have a lovely calm manor, great video and thanks again :)

[@oyavengingiris]

This is such an amazingly helpful video! I've been agonizing over which shade to get (can't go swatch them in person). Thank you so much for making this!

[@keleyw]

I've watched this video several times! I just can't enough of you Dustin! You're so knowledgable, professional & ADORABLE to boot! :) keep up the great work! Even though you are harddddd on my bank account! No seriously, I'm basically at the mercy of your recommendations & I'm not even a MUA...I even bought a mac paintstick at ur suggestion (among several other recommended products u prompted me to purchase!) & eventho it's an awesome product, I'm like "When am I gonna use it?!" :( lol... MORE VIDEOS!!!

[@rallara]

This is the best review ever on these products, thank you so so much, was looking to see the difference in shade between them and you compared them and showed them so well, exactly what I was looking for!!! Great job 😘😘🥳

[@lindalooby1000]

Hi dustin, I bought dim and diffused, my skin colour is as pale as yours, I am still working out how to incorporated it into my daily regime. Thanks for the vid, I am going to give it a go in the morning. Cheers Linda

[@nancygz7]

Omg your voice is so soothing.. I love your review

[@gabbywehman]

Love the new look on you!!! Thanks again for reviewing these products for us all. I think your amazing!!!! woooohooooo Dustin!

[@tamarberkovich9693]

so stunning, i'm sold! thank you for the review Dustin.

[@Nrgfreq]

This is one of the best videos I've seen on this product. Very helpful & informative. This is my first video of yours I've watched. Love your personality!

[@DustinHunter]

I think they're all worth trying on darker skin tones but I'd definitely check them out in person if you can (or buy them from a place you can return them to if they don't work out). Radiant and Luminous would probably work the easiest but I think that Mood would look nice if it was applied lightly - that's the only one that I THINK might end up looking kind of ashy if you were too heavy handed with it.

[@nicolevoon]

Always wanted to have a good enough reason to purchase one of these and your review is so clear and precise! Really appreciate it and I'm looking forward to more reviews from you! :)

[@ИринаИмамутдинова-п5н]

Omg, your 7 year old video is so relevant, thank you so much! a great help to decide on the choice of shade.

[@petralins6716]

I've never seen you before until now! How is this possible? You are adorable, and your voice, is that of Mr. Rogers! So soothing! I love your nonchalant, funny, little jokes too! It's 2017 and I'm just discovering these powders, I'm behind! They are so addicting! Thank you for the lovely review!

[@jennym007]

Petra Lins He's fantastic, I'm hooked. He's so knowledgeable and such a nice guy, and his voice...

[@petralins6716]

Thanks for the info! I'll totally check those other videos out!

[@jess_bounce]

Like you spent the afternoon in bed...not laying in bed and sleeping though. Haha you are so cute. Your voice soothes me and you are hilarious without being overbearing. Just love everything about you.

[@LuxEternam13]

BEST review on this powder so far and I watched them all. You are informed, you are eloquent: DONE! Love it Greetz from Germany

[@GrizSs303]

Omg! I can just listen to him all day! He sounds sooo good, love his voice and the way he talks. Good review, thank you so much, will purchase my own tomorrow. Btw, I hit the subscribe button just because of his voice :) but now I see he is very knowledgable too

[@dezij5852]

love how detailed your review is! was wondering what would work best with my skin tone. This review definitely helped.

[@kwionthecoast]

Just want drop by and say how much I enjoyed this review of yours! I love how you can be so detailed, informative, and witty at the same time. And, as has already been said but I think is worth repeating, you have a lovely voice and way of presenting. Thank you so much for sharing! So, so helpful (and entertaining!) :)

[@PlumebeautyDunsborough]

Thank god someone who could finally help me use these powders 👏👏👏👏👏👏! Mood for a blush I never thought to do that . Love you xxx I was going to throw it away . It's now in my everyday makeup bag . XXXX

[@DaveedaLoca]

the product gave you a beautiful glow! Looked natural even with a heavy hand

[@sammikit]

I have both Dim and Diffused Light. I will definitely try out your style of application. Thanks for the idea!

[@Dwightinho56]

You have truly Good reviews, and this was Very different and much more clarifying than others I have seen. Because I have until now had the same attitude towards these powders as you had before buying them. You have a pleasant voice and presentation.

[@brumfieldfamily5587]

Thank you so much Dustin. I just came across this video and I was so excited. I am not that well schooled on how to wear makeup and now in my 40s these types of powders are things that i like to use to complement my skin. Now I know new ways to light up my face :o)

[@TheBoots72]

the swatches were very helpful thanks, and you have a very soothing voice

[@suzg4684]

I just received the palette trio and LOVE it. Really enjoyed your video. You're awesome!

[@Ad_Astra2023]

Wow looks fab on your skin! I 've got pale skin myself, so I might give it a try with the pinky one. Thank you xx

[@jessicafernando]

Such a helpful review, Dustin! Thank you for being so thorough! I also really appreciate all the information you shared in the information bar. Thank you! 🌺

[@rrp147]

You simply ooze charm and I mean that in the best way possible! Have a lovely Sunday ;)

[@DominiRicanPrincess3]

Incredible review! I have 5 of them and wasn't really sure how to use them and sort of just played around with one or two and used them as highlights. I pulled them back out of the collection and am excited to play with them!

[@Original13Mars]

I bought the palette and thought I was set but watching this I know want to try and buy them all! Especially Mood Light!!

[@whenthemomentstrikes4953]

thank u for such an accurate description! im thinking of buying mood light to see how it looks on my skin but i have medium deep skin with a neutral/yellow undertone 👀 i hope it looks flattering .. thanks again

[@LittleMrsMiddleton]

This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! Best video on these powders yet! I have the dim light and diffused.

[@Smoczyca77]

Thank you very much for this! I've been obsessing over Ambient Lighting Powder fpr quite a while now but since Hourglass is hardly available here in Europe I need to order online and been wondering which shades to pick. This is the most helpful review I found! Just love it!

[@cdaitch]

Thank you for the wonderful video, I think.... started watching hoping to be able to pick which ONE to buy and now I need at least your favorite three! LOL

[@blankblank5524]

Oh,Dustin,you are awesome and such a lovely human💜

[@skylilly1]

Great review! Mood light looks so nice...just remembered how much I miss Moonlighting...Cybil is a timeless beauty!

[@DustinHunter]

Thank you! I'm glad you commented!

[@tammyicious]

Great video Dustin -- you know at one point when you had them all in your hand I thought you were going to start juggling them. LOL 💋

[@NurseJackieFTW]

this is very informative, thank you! i just bought the ambient lighting palette since i couldn't decide on one shade so i'm looking forward to trying them out.

[@RobynA11]

You rule, because I was *just* googling for pics and swatches of these, just this second. Thank you for reading my mind.

[@michellekelly2937]

VERY helpful review! I have Diffused Light, and I love it. I've been thinking about getting another Ambient Powder, but wasn't sure which one to choose. You helped me make my decision....Dim Light! Thanks!

[@gladconst]

Loved this! I have Dim light but will be purchasing Mood, SOON! The colors looked beautiful on you...I enjoy watching your videos and your dry wit! This is my first time commenting but I watch your vids! XO Kim

[@blankblank5524]

I have fair skin, dark hair,I am 50 and I LOVE mood light as a blush💜

[@25centsworth]

I suggest you do another video and answer all the questions. These are such great powders; I have two of them.

[@cjwhitehead62]

Your reviews make me so happy!

[@lacqueredhearts]

Subscribed straight away, You pretty much told me everything I wanted to know about all of those powders as well as comparing them! Thank you!

[@MsGoddessintraining]

Ooo and I forgot to say that I do agree that you can't stop at one. I have dim light and now I'm eyeing mood light. Xo

[@PumpernickelCoconut]

for oily skin with large pores? YOUR VIDEOS ARE ALWAYS SO INFORMATIVE AND THOROUGHLY, ELEQUENTLY EXPLAINED!!!

[@DustinHunter]

I think it depends on who your clients are and what type of makeup you're doing. I bought these for me because I don't do a ton of beauty makeup. I think you'd want at least four of them - you could probably skip the pale white and the more frosted of the three beige-y ones.

[@MtnSnowflake]

I've watched this video before but have never considered these powders until recently. I'm 53 and am hoping to add some life to my face. Still a good video (y) .... and BTW, your outfit is killer!

[@tamianderson123]

I love your videos. So different from anyone, You have a great style!

[@allthatsparklezzzz]

Great video ! I loovvveeee watching your videos !!! Would any of these powders work for someone with very oily skin ? If so which one would u suggest ... I was thinking maybe dim light ?? But I'm not sure as I have really oily skin !

[@elusive73]

I finally got out to get one of these!! I got the Dim one first... the rosey one is my next one for sure (we have very similar colouring).

[@nally206]

I love this review. So informative finally on the products.

[@DustinHunter]

nally stanyer Glad it was helpful! Thank you!

[@LizaLuful]

Glad it's not just me..I too started with 2 went back next day and now have all. Love them. A

[@samanthak7344]

SO glad I found this review and demo.. I'm convinced. I need them!

[@kristenk.8024]

Excellent demo! Very helpful. 😀

[@vintageortacky]

I bought Ethereal during Sephora's Sale and I love it! I use it to highlight the high planes of my face, and occasionally all over because I just adore the blurring effect! I think I'm going to get Diffused Light, Dim Light & Mood Light also. Thank you for the overview and swatches, my wallet hates you :p

[@michellegoldstein592]

Fantastic review. Very thorough....and you're very relaxing to listen to. Thank you!

[@DustinHunter]

Thank you!

[@luckilovesbmws]

Wow, love this video! Nice review. Thank you for explaining all the different shades!

[@juanjaar7546]

I bought this to replace my face powder a few months ago, so I could blot my face, apply powder throughout the day and continue on my merry way... Wasn't a fan. I didn't really get the appeal and (keeping in mind I have oily skin) I found that it didn't do anything for the wear of my foundation/ face makeup. I traded it in for Chanel Perfection lumier, and couldn't be happier. I might revisit these at some point, just cause the concept is so appealing :/

[@shiningyoonie]

they do look amazing on you!

[@laurenh5123]

You won me over with the ferret comment lol new subscriber! Could you give me tips on using the palette? Im unsure what to do with the incandescent shade.

[@1334cass]

Thank you so much for this video. I have been wanting to try some of these and you really helped educate me on which ones to pick up:)

[@bonitadanita]

Lol! The vaseline comment had me cracking up! Love your personality :-) great review! I have the powder in luminous light and LOVE IT

[@guennawittbrodt1703]

Very Helpful! I wasn't sure how to use them until now. You are great! Thank you!

[@ToxicAli3n]

I am a tiny bit pailer than NC10 from MAC. I've bought Diffused Light and I'm inlove with it. Like you predicted; I want more. Next on my list is Ethereal Light. I'm affraid the other ones are way too dark for my skintone. I'm still thinking about Mood Light as a blush but I'm wondering if using it as only a blush is worth the money?

[@kneeXkohl]

Oh boy. My bank account is not thanking you for posting this. Whyyyyy do you have to be one of the few on YT whose opinions I actually trust?!? haha. I wasn't sold until after you put the first one on. It looks amazing.

[@DustinHunter]

I don't have any of those so I can't say based on my own experience. I believe the Shiseido ones are more like traditional blushes and highlighters... you might be able to mix a few shades together for a similar effect but not having used them, I couldn't really say for certain.

[@sparklefangs102]

Mood light as a finishing powder makes me look alive on top of matte foundations, and the light tint/pastel of magenta cancels out my ochre/olive/sallow ness

[@sarahelmiraroystershelton1888]

I noticed the same powdery stuff coming when i first received it but i was using a mac brush. Once i started using my usual Suqqu face brush i didnt see any dust coming, and even the finish was softer on the skin. Same if you use Koyudo, Hakuhodo, Chikuhodo or Addiction brushes

[@DomKBeauty]

lovely demo! i will definitely be picking up luminous and radiant light! could darker skin tones work with the lighter shades?

[@kristanlovessports]

lol i love you! make more vids more often! what are your favorite glitters for the eye?

[@ronniiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

Defiantly picking up defused light tomorrow!

[@Sophengelchen]

Thank you for the great swatches, I couldn't find any and as I live in Europe its hard to get to see any hourglass. Can finally chose which one to order :)

[@peezytothe]

Now I have to have mood light. Im slowly approaching the entire collection

[@norelie1]

I've been waiting on your opinion before considering these!! would you recommend for oily skin?

[@bluefinger02]

You make everything sound so beautiful and wanted..... I paused 3 times during this video, went on sephora website and ordered my first 3 ! Have a nice Memorial Day weekends! Xoxoxo
