Gorgeous! I'm so pleased it works so well for your stunning, rich skin tone. Winter!🎉

[@JoyMorrisBeauty]

Thank you so much!

[@asjsmommy8284]

I absolutely love how smooth and polished and subtle this palette looks on your skin. Hourglass still has a ways to go but this palette is a hit. I also love all of their complexion products. I am medium deep (NC47/50) and can always find a perfect shade!❤

[@JoyMorrisBeauty]

Thank you! Yes I can see a 4th palette added to the range with shades deeper than this one - that would be amazing! I’m glad to know that you like their products, I’ll definitely be picking up some more items from this brand.

[@finnachoosebetter]

This is stunning. I’ve purchased all the Hourglass holiday releases since they started making colors for deeper skin tones. There is still room for improvement but I will be picking this up 😍

[@JoyMorrisBeauty]

I totally agree! Yes I could see them making at least one more palette in a deeper range than this one, but I thoroughly enjoyed this palette and it will be in heavy rotation for me.

[@tshaa]

The palette just made you look so glowy!! Its stunning!

[@JoyMorrisBeauty]

Yes I love this palette, thank you!

[@rashidawallace]

I have been buying Hourglass products for a few years and I absolutely LOVE them. Money well spent! They have a 3 pan palette that is a staple in my collection. It’s called “Ambient Lighting Palette Volume 3” It has a rich gold color that lays down smoothly on my medium brown skin. Thanks for the video. You look gorgeous 💖

[@JoyMorrisBeauty]

Yes this was my first time trying Hourglass and the quality and performance really blew me away. Thank you for your kind words and thank you for sharing, I’ll have to check that one out too.

[@xpnn]

Your video is the push I need to clear my cart and get it. TFS

[@JoyMorrisBeauty]

The finishing powder is perfection on your complexion. Like an ethereal filter it’s beautiful and that rd blush is stunning

[@JoyMorrisBeauty]

Oh thank you! I used it today and I’m even more impressed with it! The finish it leaves on my skin is unreal and I’m so happy I purchased this ❤️

[@yolandernicholas2744]

BEAUTIFUL! Hourglass powder formulations are unmatched!😊

[@JoyMorrisBeauty]

Thank you! Yes I really, really love this palette.

[@dyshaunierandall5185]

Can’t wait to get my hands on this pallet❤

[@JoyMorrisBeauty]

Yes it’s a must have!

[@HelloSabrina18]

Loved your review !! I’ve been interested to see if these tones truly worked for darker tones of skin and sooo happy they do !! 💕 I always feel sad when people are excluded from makeup lines .

[@JoyMorrisBeauty]

Thank you! Yes it’s such a beautiful palette, everyone should purchase this palette at least once. It’s really an experience!

[@jolieoro9785]

Super pretty! You look gorgeous

[@JoyMorrisBeauty]

Thank you so much!!

[@taylor7454]

I cannot wait to get mine this weekend! You're a similar shade match to me so this is the review i've been waiting to see from someone. Thanks! You look gorg.

[@JoyMorrisBeauty]

Aww thank you! 🥰 I’m glad my video was helpful. You’re gonna love the palette!

[@sherriceperry1079]

Great video! I am so happy to find brown women apply these products. I really wanted to see if this palette was brown person friendly and it is!!!

[@JoyMorrisBeauty]

Thank you! Yes it’s a very beautiful palette. I think they could even fit an additional palette in the range, one deeper than this one. But for this palette, I am really enjoying it.

[@findsmiles9282]

Beautiful. That peach looks to be a great pop and likely great as a little touch on the lids :-) 🎉

[@JoyMorrisBeauty]

Thank you, that’s a great idea!

[@lifeonabudget8513]

I love hourglass's loose powder and their lip glosses. Never tried their palettes.

[@JoyMorrisBeauty]

Yes this was my first time purchasing from the brand 😀

[@lauramcampbell1988]

Thank you so much for this review.. I was hesitant about getting this palette but now I’m convinced…. It looks stunning on you. Also…. What nail polish brand/shade are you wearing in this video.. it looks really nice ❤

[@JoyMorrisBeauty]

Hi thank you! Yes it’s a great buy, I think you’ll really love it! On my nails I’m wearing the KISS imPRESS Press On Nails, in Pick Me Pink, Short Squoval size.

You look stunning!!!! I’d love to see an eyeshadow tutorial featuring the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit - Unlocked palette. It would be amazing to see how you create looks with those beautiful shades. When I saw the palette with the lotus design, I was immediately drawn to it! This is my first Hourglass palette, even though most of my makeup since 2016 has been from Hourglass Cosmetics-none of their previous palettes ever spoke to me until now. I signed up for early access, and when I received the sneak peek and saw Red 0 included, I was so excited. This year, I decided to change my lipstick shade, having always stuck to their "I'll Never Stop" (Beige Nude) Confession Ultra Slim High Intensity Lipstick. Feeling daring, I tried Red 0 in the Confession Ultra Slim High Intensity Lipstick and instantly fell in love with its stunning red shade. For reference, my foundation is Laura Mercier's Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Foundation in 4N2 Tea (medium with neutral undertones). My perfect shades are the Ambient Lighting Bronzer in Nude Bronze Light, Ambient Lighting Blush in Mood Exposure (soft plum), and Ambient Strobe Lighting Powder in Euphoric. I justified purchasing the palette mainly for the Red 0 blush, knowing that even if the bronzer, finishing powder, and highlighters in the Lotus palette were too deep, they could still work as eyeshadows. When my first Hourglass palette arrived, it confirmed my suspicions: aside from the two blushes, the other shades were indeed too deep for my complexion. However, they make amazing eyeshadows! I really hope Hourglass makes Red 0 a permanent shade in their range and starts offering more neutral shades. It would be even better if they introduced the option to customise the shades within their palettes.

[@JoyMorrisBeauty]

Thank you for sharing your story and your history with the brand. That’s a great idea about filming a video using them as eyeshadows. I agree, red 0 is a beautiful blush and it should be permanent. I also really loved the lotus flower design and I’m very happy to have this beautiful palette in my collection. Take care!

I love your hair your beautiful 🌞

New Sub here! Thanks so much for this video! The palette looks beautiful on you! Can I ask which foundation number you use in Fenty, Rare Beauty or PML so that I have a reference?

[@JoyMorrisBeauty]

Aww thank you for subscribing! In Fenty, I am 385 in the winter/spring time and 385/400 blend in the summer/fall. I hope that helps!
