GET YOUR BEST LIGHT! Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder Review

[@Distressedwoman]

I can not praise these enough. Yes, it’s an old video but these are probably the must haves for anyone who wants a filter, a healthy glow and a natural look. I’m 56, have dry, mature skin and I swear these make me look younger, better, healthier. They have numerous colors out now, including blushes with the same technology and you can use them as highlighters, blush, contouring, bronzers or just an all over appliance to get that filtered healthy subtle glow. They do not give a blinding highlight, these are all about looking natural, and it’s my no 1 secret and best buy ever. Highly recommended for anyone.

[@charlotted7558]

Snuppeline can I ask what shade you use?

[@asioczek7]

Which one is the best fir you?

[@sheena1096]

I just turned 54 and I have to go buy these

[@laurenauburnsol]

Yes they’re the best! I’ve been buying them for years

[@misswhite2rose]

We know you are not paid wayne. Man you are one of the honest makeup reviewers in youtube. Whenever i want to buy any product i just review what you say and based on it i buy or not. Always you are right.

[@Hlyblsms]

I don’t know how I found out about this product but oh my gosh! The effect of it on the skin is absolute perfection. I got the luminosity one. I have very pale dry skin. Whether I use primer/foundation or not, I get a subtle, lit from within glow. I dislike makeup that screams makeup. I like subtle, whispery makeup that lets people see me only more lovely. This fits right into my philosophy. It smooths pores and adds a glow, not a shimmer or glitter. It’s expensive but there’s a lot of product and you barely need to touch it with a brush to get the effect you’re looking for. It’ll last a very long time. It’s worth every single cent. I can’t recommend it enough. It’s great for mature skin. If you’re indecisive, treat yourself and get it. You’ll be so glad you did.

[@jls7159]

for my chocolate girls.... radiant light is amazing! after I put on my liquid foundation I dust this on the forehead, chin and high points of the cheeks then set my whole face with a translucent powder. I do like this much better than msf and I'm oily

[@jls7159]

its pricey I think around $48 but u get a lot of product just don't drop it lol

[@freyahgsbro9711]

Can you use it as a setting powder?

[@honeyboo098765]

Thanks !! I'm brown skinned actually and wanted something that didn't look ashy on me

[@palomitaflamenkita]

+Beauty After Dark... And for a milk chocolate girls (meaning NC40-42) what shade would work?. Thanks!

[@jls7159]

radiant will still work for ur skin tone too!

[@ToxicAli3n]

I have fair & dry skin and avoid using a powder most of the time. I've bought this powder in Diffused Light and it's AMAZING. Normally my skin looks very dull, a lot of red scars from acne and this gives me an healthy glow and an even skintone. It does exactly what it says; It's not shimmery but gives that healthy looking glow. Next on my list is Ethereal Light. Can't wait!

[@mimivb87]

Do you put it all over your face? (Sorry im 4 years late to the party 😂)

[@veronicasuestarlite4080]

@@mimivb87 Look how late I am! What have you found out about this Hourglass sorcery?

[@mimivb87]

Veronica Sue Starlite i actually own one of them now! Ethereal light ❤️. I have very dry skin and it looks so good! It’s not a setting powder but a finishing powder. I do use it all over the face for a gorgeous subtle glow. I did however notice that when i’m in direct bright sunlight, there is glitter all over my face. So there is indeed glitter in it. But it doesn’t bother me at all 😁😁😁. It’s only noticeable in direct sunlight.

[@veronicasuestarlite4080]

@@mimivb87 Thanks for getting back with me...here I am again trying to decide on which powder to purchase! I'm very fair also as you can see in my pic, I saw a woman in Sephora before and after approx my age 56 w/ Ethereal Light and oh my gosh the difference was unreal. Stunning. I felt a bit rude because I was staring and kept saying "OMG that's unreal". I'm so glad you left this message, you really helped me completely make my decision. I was between Mood and Ethereal. Some ladies have every shade, I just can't make myself spend that much money on powder in good conscious. Thanks again. xo

[@mimivb87]

Veronica Sue Starlite i’m so glad to read this 😊❤️❤️❤️ ethereal light is a perfect choice!!! It’s beautiful and an absolute must have 🥰

[@GeminiMUAartist]

I work for a retailer that carries these. AMAZING!! These powders can be layered. TALC FREE!! Any age, skin tone can wear these. The more you layer, the better it looks. Crazy. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

[@mandym1303]

I just got the ambient light palette this morning.. and tried using it as a highlighter and was so unimpressed, seriously. Then I watched this & remembered your technique of using powder before foundation and holy hot damn. My makeup has never looked so smooth. I'm super pale, I used incandescent light all over and flushed some radiant light on my cheeks, then applied NARS sheer glow (not even half a pump). It's all pretty and glowy. Thank you so much for your amaze videos, even the ones from 2 years ago are still helping people!!!

[@SM-ke7hq]

Great idea I am going to try it under my foundation on the weekend and see how it works

[@bodoralshamri8185]

he said used it after yr foundation not before.....?...?

[@beths10minutesbeautytalk13]

I have pale ivory skin, bought the ambient lighting palette a while ago.Now I'm using dim light for a very natural blush color and radiant light for bronzing powder, finally incandescent light for highlight. Love how they look on my skin very much.

[@MediocreMolly]

They make blushes and bronzers too, have you tried them? They're meant to be amazing

[@deannalauchlan7250]

Ethereal is great aswell. It's even paler that incandescent.

Diffused Light 🥰✨

[@madcrazymom]

I love that anyone can really use any of the six shades in this powder and look amazing, and thanks for pointing out that they can be used all over the face, wherever you want. They are truly goof-proof and, like you said, just make the skin look better. Love them!

[@dorisyun8374]

for some reason the white background makes you look so much brighter in complexion (in a good way of course) thank you for another great review for a product I've been extremely curious about!

[@AprilAthena7]

I love love your all white background it is soo amazing and you look fantastic!!!

[@Moca-Mist]

Omg I bought this highlighter just this past Friday. It is amazing and I'm a woman of color with an ebony skin tone. It is the best thing I've bought yet. Worth every single penny. The BEST!!

[@Jessbell83]

Your skin looks amazing in this vid and I dont know if it's the product or the white background or what but your eyes seem very bright and such a beautiful colour! You always look good but in this one you look incredible! :) Thanks for yet another fab review, Wayne! Jess x

[@carolwatx]

I just bought Diffused Light, and Dim Light today. Love, love love them! Thanks so much for recommending them!

[@Jordanavargasf]

update please if you got the rest of the powders and how would you use each shade xoxo

[@lunabake]

I finally found out about these in the UK. Zuneta are getting them in July. Liberty have them now but are not releasing them until April :(

[@LolitaBrittain]

Took me apparently 6 years to try these and I couldn’t be happier. Nothing that I’ve ever tried compares to these powders. I set my entire face with “diffused light”. It’s amazing under the eyes and gets even better during the day, as it melts into the skin.

[@TheBoots72]

Would you mind telling me what skin tone you are?.I am a redhead fair/ light skin.I can only order online and i really don't know what color i should order.Thanks 😊

[@kosmosbjm]

I love your reviews. You are one of my go-to artists because you give an honest opinion and you’re also a skilled artist. Thanks for keeping us informed!

[@noblekel]

Wow, I thought you had gone on holiday. Your skin looks stunningly radiant!

[@nataliedrapeau3859]

Love your videos. I think I will try this product. I love dewy finishes, radiant and even sparkly make up, but cannot wear it because I am 46 and have a lot lines and enlarged pores. I would love if you could do a video on how to help hide signs of aging (very dark circles, lots of lines around and on eye lids and large pores) especially how to get the most dewy radiant skin without emphasizing those lines. Thank you for everything you do and I hope you get sponsored, you so deserve it.

[@frankiesala1]

I bought the "Dim light" last week and absolutely LOVE this product!!

[@ChristinaEzell]

Love that glow this product gives to your face!

[@mosaicgraffiti]

Finally!! We get the smartest best honest talented demonstrated answer. I probably cant afford it but if I do, I know what one I would get now and how to use it thanx to Wayne!

[@MakeupMatters1]

So happy you finally got to try these! I have all shades except the darkest. Love it! Love the brush too it also works great for applying foundation. Thanks for mentioning which products are cruelty free in your video. I believe if you have been given an audience its always nice to use it for good and to raise awareness. I really appreciate you highlighting which brands and brushes are cf

[@scorpionqueen4492]

I'm extremely pale and cannot live without this product. Makes my skin look gorgeous! I'm somewhat of a high end makeup junkie and this is in my top 3 of al products ever. Wayne, your skin looks absolutely radiant with it. This is a must have ladies!!

[@unknownlove19]

which colour do you use? i'm pale as well :)

[@koreydupont6712]

I love your videos and how articulate you are with your reviews and tutorials! I've only watched a few so far, but I've already been able to help others learn from what I've learned. Thank you!

[@cottontolly8278]

I use these on a daily basis. I'm quite pale and I use the ethereal light to help cover my dark circles because of how pale my skin is. I this shade every day. Some times I use it in the middle of my face then I apply luminous light on the rest but with a light hand. I adore these and plan on getting some more. I apply it with the Tom Ford brush 2 and it just looks amazing.

[@KissHope]

Hello Wayne, before you even began the video it was visibly apparent that your skin looked illuminated and softly so. Being 52 I am unable to use anything with a sparkle shimmer look, these look to be very different. Putting on my bucket list for make up. Thanks so much for sharing gorgeous man.

[@GeminiMUAartist]

I freaking love these powders!!! Look great on deeper skin tones. The more you layer. The smoother your skin will look. They reflect and absorb light. A freakinmazing!!

[@DebzCM911]

I was sat thinking "you look amazing" right up until the "this is how it looks on the skin". Great review, you have such an amazing collection of make up! x

[@deborahcombee]

You look like an angel in heaven, in the very white bright room with your white shirt showing !!!!! Thanks for the tutorial I always look forward to watching you!!!!!!!

[@dazzled25]

I love that you put the products on yourself to show us how they look. :D

[@Samsmom50]

I love these!! Also if anyone used the Chanel notorious to contour , Mood is STUNNING with it!! Keep up the wonderful reviews , love ya!!!!

[@andreaawangku1782]

I just recently ordered the Ambient Light pallete in the Sephora sale. Ive been lusting after one for ages but couldnt justify the price. Then I got online and saw tons of really fantastic reviews about it and then checked with the Mighty Goss and I ordered. Now here I am to say thank you for an excellent review. My palette should arrive in a couple of days and I cant wait. Im 63 and fell in love with makeup about 5 yrs ago so Im a bit late to the party but better late than never eh. Thank you Wayne xx

[@jodikgordon]

Cannot wait to try these-would love u to do a blog post on the different shades

[@nanny_goat]

I recently purchased two of these, Diffused Light and Mood Light. both are beautiful and apply like a dream. The powder is soft, so be gentle with your brush! I think the effect is awesome. :)

[@rsanna22]

im in love with your skin, everything looks absolutely beautiful on you!!!

[@anka.hercris]

Cannot tell you how much I love your videos! So incredibly informative. Whenever I want to make a purchase of any make up, I literally come to your channel to see your views on it before I buy :)

[@eamaschmeyer]

id love to see a full review once you get all six products? I have oily skin like you, Goss, and large pores. I typically wear Too faced Primed and poreless (no foundation)and wonder if this would be a good finishing powder for me? They look so beautiful.

[@melissabrocious369]

Your skin looks subtly radient using this finishing powder. I think that I will invest in a shade or two- I have to remind myself not to go overboard with the application and end up highlighting portions (e.g. large pores and fine lines) of my face that should be left in the dark. :-/ You did it very well- maybe you could do a tutorial on applications when you get the other shades (use lovely Mandy)!! xx

[@BaileyBreving]

Please show the set up you have for this new background please! I definitely beed help and tips setting up mine and yours looks perfect!

[@amillertishler]

I would have to order on-line and haven't a clue which shade. Love your enthusiasm! ...Arleen

[@Lulumaikalani]

So glad you did this review. Have been considering this product, but I don't trust other reviewers as I do you. Thanks so much! Becky

[@simplypretty78]

we liked the back ground so very much !!! it makes evrything so clear!!! thanks and God Bless!!!

[@esbonney]

Do you know if they help set foundation or if you should set first? I have an oily t zone that has to be set, but I don't like an overly matte look. These seem like they would be ideal if they set and give a glow. BTW, I LOVE your channel!

[@lisalee8778]

I bought the diffused light after watching ur video. my skin is light and has yellow undertone, well I am asian with acne prone skin. I really like this product. I use a kabuki brush. lovely.

[@Mish81]

I have Radiant Light and I absolutely LOVE this product and the way it makes my skin look!

[@pennybartol509]

Totally agree with you Wayne......I bought the Diffused and the Dim and love them both for different reasons......I am trying to talk myself out of buying others as they are $45. each in the States, but probably will fold as I too LOVE them!

[@Accomandoc]

These powders seem great !!!! How would you compare it to the new Nars white face powder ? I just bought it and really like it. I'm going to go to sephora though to check out this new hourglass one !! I love the pearl color.

[@Nrgfreq]

I would like to see you go through each one when you get the other ones. I'm still debating this purchase & shade

[@AshLightBlue]

Wayne, I agree with you 110%! You are the most amazing & honest MUA! I always wait for your reviews because I know you are telling me the truth! I can't wait for your brushes! Support for you all the way

[@careynvegas21]

You look so fresh in this video! Is it the background or the powders? Either way I'm sold on these powders. Which one do you suggest for NW 25 as an all over powder? Thanks!

[@sarahalanis54]

I actually have just bought the Mood Light powder with the sweet little brush. I LOVE it! I want to get another one. I was looking for a setting powder and the girl at Sephora show me these. I think you described it to a tee. It gives you a healthy look abut your skin.. I can't wait to see you do the others! LOVE & HUGS

[@25centsworth]

Based on this video, I bought this product in 'mood'. I'm fair and have pink undertones. I adore it. It's so pretty. Thank you for the advice. I doubt I'd ever known about it otherwise.

[@LeSeulGarcon]

I've been using both of these since they came out long ago. LOVE THESE. Beyond amazing. HG

[@dollcina]

I have never heard of this brand. Us "old ladies" don't need a lot of shimmer, so this powder looks to me like my best bet. I will look for it online! Thanks Wayne! x

[@GeminiMUAartist]

I have oily skin and the longer it sat on my skin. The better it looked. I was truly amazed.

[@wamplers303]

Thank you SO much for the reviews! I have the Dim and Mood. The Mood...omg, you will LOVE. It brings the most ethereal and beautiful hint of color to the cheeks, yet also works all over the face. It is amazing for pale skin and can also be used over or under blusher. I really want the diffused now that you reviewed it. I think I will have to take a trip to Sephora today. Thank you for the knowledgeable and thoughtful review. Love the new background! :)

[@lifeofateenagemaniac]

You look really good in this video. I love this makeup on you. It just makes you look absolutely flawless. I'll definitely be buying some of this because I'm very pale white and I love these types of makeups. Thanks so much for the video! XO

[@InSearchofaSunrise]

I always 'like' your videos as soon as it starts playing, regardless of the content. You are just that awesome ;)

[@indyk2000]

Your skin looks so purrty! how do you feel these will hold up on deeper skin tones? do you think these will be suitable for flash photography given the reflective properties, or harsh fluorescent office lighting? and would you recommend these for those who already have a shiny finish to the skin? I sometimes use chanel vitalumiere (in 50) or bourjois healthy mix serum (in 56) and theyre usually too shiny later in the day if not immediately, although i've not a oily skin. still suitable?

[@engelneen]

great review. will you please talk about the brush more? is it worth it?

[@Aallexxy1]

Was waiting for you to review these, hope you will review the others soon, which do you think would look good on deeper skintones? I'm thinking dim light? I want to use it as a finishing powder, not highlighter etc.

[@ninjaGlamour]

to my eye it looks just like you have great skin - not shimmery at all, definitely not discoball face! i haven't tried the radiant light or ethereal light though - they might be different.

[@Vulvatr0n420]

This white background makes you look really angelic, lol!

[@lookate2001]

After watching your video, I went out to Sephora and bought the Dim Light, would pick up Radiant Light later too.. I love it, it does what it saids! it's so amazing, thanks so much for reviewing this!!

[@melhol89]

you are beautiful! thank you for the review! i always like to hear what you have to say about a product because you are always honest

[@DPauyo76]

I have an ebony complexion and was thinking of getting mood light on the top...Would that be a good choice and do i apply this all over my face or sparingly to highlight?...Great review!...:)

[@laurasalsa]

Looks amazing :) Will this powder also work on very dry skin? A glow would make it look less dull, but powder makes me look flakey.....thanks!

[@tinez1020]

Before you even started talking I was thinking how amazing your skin looks. Now I know your secret! Buying it today!!!

[@redfury1789]

Just got the diffused light . Love it! Its exactly like you describe.

[@luckygrl569]

I am very interested in this Wayne but not sure the right one for my skin tone. When you get the others can you do an overview? Thanks. :)

[@Windalove1]

Wow these seem amazing! In the beginning of the video I wasn't aware that you used the product & said oh wow he looks fantastic in the video, very radiant so for that reason alone it's definitely something I may look into. Have you tried their waterproof bronzer? The term waterproof when talking about a powder bronzer is a little difficult to believe but I hear it's more on the yellow aside which is suppose to work great on my light yellow skintone

[@wasdeputy]

Looks like I might try this ambience power. Since I'm "up there" I don't want shimmer. Nothing like sparkles on older ladies!

[@aliakhann]

Which one is better for asian medium/deep skin tones, it looks amazing on your skin :)

[@lynnmercer9652]

Wen i saw u i thought ur skin looked amazing not knowing u were wearing the products somit obviously works also ur lashes look great xx

[@9thSapphire]

That looks just as nice as airbrush, very beautiful finish!

[@Ifugee]

Thanks Wayne. They work exactly as you describe. This Diffused Light and Dim Light are my Holy Grail products for setting powder and "bronzer." 😍 They're expensive but the product lasts and lasts, and it's not tested on animals - which is very important to me. My Ambient Light powders are the recent, permanent addition to my makeup routine.

[@ShelbyMercedes46]

Can't wait for you to review all 6 of them! I have nc42 skin. I'm not sure which one to get but will wait on your review of the rest

[@ursulag2010]

First let me start by saying ... "u r amazing!" Please give me some advice , which foudation palette do u think would be best for a shoot with only black women .. i mean , should I get all shades for women of color or spend the time mixing different colors.

[@pnklmnade5]

I'm interested in organic makeup and I was wondering if you could review the boho green revolution stuff. It looks really pigmented and pretty just want to know your opinion. Doesn't seem too expensive.

[@MsBeautyblush]

hey thanks i went out to buy them right away!! Can you suggest a brush to use with these would a big powder brush do? Also have you tried to layer them do you think it would give a nice effect?

[@ninjaGlamour]

i already bought 4 of these. love them! i use diffused light as a finishing powder because i'm so fair. i haven't gotten ethereal light yet, perhaps that will work as slight highlight for me. I just use my regular powder brush with it, like you mentioned. Thanks for the video!

[@transplantclub]

How did u get that creamy look to your eyeshadow? Please do a tut on the look ur rocking in this vid. Thanks!!!!

[@VikkiBounds]

these sound interesting. i wouldn't know what color to pick? i have a light to med. skintone..i have not really any sun, but i'm not pale by any means..

[@jeanettadoering516]

how will they look on darker skin or what color would you recamend for dark skin please help thaks babe love to watch your both of your chanels

[@lisaa6099]

Im going to try this - being over 40 w large pores makes shimmer a no no ! Thanks for review

[@UnVraiAnge]

Dear Wayne, would you be so nice if You get all of these powders to recommend each one for different skin tones and types.It will help a lot, which one to choose! Thank You so much!

[@GirlieReview]

How does this product compare to the Kevyn Aucoin Celestial Powder? I'm debating between the two. Awesome review as always.

[@MsSummer225]

i think you are wonderful and so talented. i tell everyone about you. what shade of these powders would you recommend for a 35 year old NW20 who wants to fake younger brighter skin?

[@JadedMuse2]

I think that's why people who do not like Burberry Fresh Glow don't like it...many expected a highlighter and really it just gives a healthy glow. I was glad to hear one of these is suitable for us very pale girls...looks like a product I'd enjoy. Thanks for this review. :)

[@scorpionqueen4492]

I have all of them but the best for pale is Ethereal light. I use Luminous light all over to blur imperfections them I take their finnishing brush (the rectangle one) and sweep Ethereal under my eyes as a cheekbone highlight, down my nose and on my chin. My skin looks stunning in photos! It is truely a must have for porcelain skin, and I'm incredibly picky!

[@AstroBaby91]

We just got trained by Hourglass for these and they are pretty incredible. The pink one is the one that suits me best personally but they are kind of like clothing so you can mix and match powders. :) This product is definitely worth all the excitement! Cheers

[@asami86]

Holy crap ur eyes look so blue!! This product looks interesting. I wonder tho, have u noticed it looking shiny with so many hours of wear?

[@Sweet1981ie]

It looks gorgeous on your skin! I have the pink one-Mood Light-it's gorgeous. I want the Radiant light too:)

[@phatgirlrollin]

I just bought dim light and love it. It's similar to MAC skinfinish natural in medium plus except there's more sheen to it making it look more radiant on the face.

[@leeesuhx3]

Wayne, didn't you say The Balm's Mary Loumanizer was your favorite highlighting powder? Does this replace that? I know you see this as a finishing powder rather than a highlighter, I'm a tad confused. So would you use both? xo

[@supermagickids]

I have pale skin and use Champagne Pearl! I love it, I don't know how I lived without it before. Now my skin glows :D

[@Spiderute99]

Hi :) I bought the HG powder in Diffused and Mood. Love the Diffused. It's light yellow it blurs any redness/ pinkness and imperfections. I was wondering if U have tried the new Nars light reflecting loose powder and how U like it and it's comparison to the HG powders. I'm very impressed with the Nars powder also. On my skin it illuminates, hides flaws and even fatigue under the eyes without drying. Share Ur thought, if possible,

[@RockeyToes]

These are gorgeous, I was wondering why your skin looked so luminous! BTW, what shadow did you use on your eyes on the lid? It looks wonderful.
