I worked for Hourglass and they are designed to use on different parts of the face. If you like to use them together that's great, but you can get very specific benefits when used separately. The first powder is a setting powder and can be worn over your entire face give it a soft focus, the second is to add warmth (bronze) where you like, and the third is a highlight. Makeup can be worn however you like, but I wanted to give the option incase someone has the palette and using them all together is too shimmery or dark.

[@Amrasbeautyblog]

Thank you so much Laura how lucky were you! I have pinned your comment, this will be so helpful for those watching this to show how versatile this palette truly is!

[@lauranadeau5312]

@@Amrasbeautyblog the powder's are really magical. I'm in my 50s and I love to use the ambient powder over my neck and decollete as a 'blurring' powder. The neck and chest skin really changes!!!

I'm a women of color and I really appreciate your insight on this product. These are FINISHING POWDERS , they are not ment to be very pigmented in the first place. This palettes are getting negative reviews from people that don't understand the product.

[@Amrasbeautyblog]

Omg you get it! It’s so frustrating, so wonderful to hear from another woman of colour, that understands! Yes it’s exactly that a finishing powder and it’s not designed to be highly pigmented 🧡

[@nataliegarcia1121]

@@Amrasbeautyblog Exactly, I see all of these negative reviews, they think this is a countour palette and they are complaining that the powders don't show up on their skin, of course they won't show up. This is because that's Hourglass especiality as a brand ,making skin look skin just with the RIGHT amount of light and glow that looks natural.

[@Amrasbeautyblog]

Totally 💯 that’s exactly right 💕

[@sandra.mendes279]

Hi dear just found your Chanel , thank you for your review and I understand your point of view, I have all their powder shades in my pro kit, they are unique . But the way they did the marketing for volume 2 that is the problem, yes dark skin can use it all the tree shades as finishing powders and have a beautiful Glow , powders are versatile , but one of the shades is a supposed bronzer that does not bronze , not even the model that they advertised with , that is misleading, that is not honest for the consumer . That makes their reputation as a brand really drop in my consideration and of a lot of people. So I hope they do their advertisements rigth . And if they not going to cater for me skin tone just be upfront with it , plus someone 3/4 shades deeper they me , all this powder pallet will do is make them ashy .

[@Amrasbeautyblog]

Hi I do understand your point of view and I hope that hourglass take your views into consideration seriously, the advert wasn’t the right way to advertise the product and it will be interesting to see why they decided to go with that campaign, my review is based on my personal experience with hourglass through the years and with my skintone, but I understand what you saying and thank you for sharing your point of view

[@makeovermylife6198]

Your eyeshadow is beautiful, I can’t stop admiring it. I love Hg but they need to be inclusive . I can definitely see the difference. The new palette looks Gorgeous on you 😍😍😍

[@Amrasbeautyblog]

Thank you scattered light is always so pretty, yes I agree with your comments Inclusivity is vital and I hope HG hear everyone’s comments, yes I much prefer this new palette to the original and thank you 😊😘😘

[@veronicas1785]

Really informative video, it was good to see a side by side comparison. Would definitely agree that ambient ii is much better for your skin tone. As a black women who is only now starting to get into make up, I’m probably not in the best position to make a comment, however, it has been quite interesting to see how this product has been marketed vs the reality of the shades. Thanks for giving your personal view and final thoughts at the end of the video as to whether this product would be suitable for darker skin tones. I’d agree that Hourglass as a company has a lot to learn regarding their marketing and advertising strategy, however from my point of view, your video has given me a good insight into the skin tone / complexion that this product will work well with!

[@Amrasbeautyblog]

Thanks so much for your comment, it was really honest and constructive, I totally agree the advert and marketing for this product has not been fair, it’s hopefully a huge learning curve for HG and I truly hope they take people’s comments on board. Inclusivity is so important. I reviewed this for those that had a similar tone to myself, and to demonstrate how the product worked for me. My channel was created as I didn’t see many people with my skintone doing reviews online but I can see why people are upset.

I still have not tried an HG powder palette - not sure if I need it. Looks lovely on you. Love your eye shadow and lipstick in this video. Gorgeous! I can see the lighter and darker sides with the powders. I agree that the darker is better on you.

Ah its my holy grail of finishing powders, ah thank you, the eye shadow and lipstick are both HG too! Yes I love the darker one on me 💯!

[@isabelcascabel1515]

really nice video!! thanks

[@Amrasbeautyblog]

Thanks 😊

[@Amrasbeautyblog]

I wanted to state that this is my personal experience with the palette on my skintone.

[@msammy6914]

I would point out that Golden Bronze Light in the Volume II palette is not a finishing powder but a bronzer, according to the back of the packaging, whereas all of the powders in the Vol I palette are finishing powders. The reason that the side of your face with the OG powders look more "highlighted" may be because Incandescent Light is described as an opalescent finishing powder and gives off a subtle highlighting effect similar to Luminous Light.

[@Amrasbeautyblog]

Thanks pointing that out much appreciated

[@Emily-nj8hv]

Thank you for the review! You did an amazing job talking about. I'm unsure which one to get or what to expect! But I got the volume 2. I feel like the orginal one will leave a "chalky" look, because I have light to natural skin...

[@Amrasbeautyblog]

Ah I am so pleased that’s really made me happy! 😃 You can’t go wrong with either!

I have been MIA from social media. I’m brown skinned (NARS - Macao), I enjoy the Ambient in Dim (all over) and Radiant (as a highlight). I use a light hand and my face always looks more awake. It’s disappointing that the company cannot respond in a manner that makes sense.

[@bjesgirl]

Every product is not for everyone. Nobody is saying the current products are bad. Adding a palette with deeper shades wouldn't take away from these two palettes that you enjoy. It would just allow people of a wider skintone range to enjoy this formula. Ultimately, when you use and promote these products, you're saying that as long as it works for you, you don't care who else is excluded. As a black woman I don't "expect " nonblack people to fight for me or stand up for me. Please just understand that it's never just makeup. These decisions are deliberate and intentional, and they are purposefully excluding dark skinned people. I for one, won't be supporting this brand and will spend my money where it's wanted.

[@Amrasbeautyblog]

I understand your point of view and I am in agreement that the brand needs to cater more more for wider skintones and I respect your decision.
