HOURGLASS MAKEUP... What's Worth It & What's Dupe-able

[@emilynoel83]

Hi everyone! You might have noticed this video went up hours before the usual Saturday upload... that was a mistake in my video scheduling! I'll have to watch that closer next time :) The info box is now all filled in if you had any questions regarding products/links/drugstore alternative links. Thanks!

I'm a drugstore girl, but still wanted to watch to support you and hear your thoughts on these products! Also always down for DUPES! I've been here since the Coastal Scents/apartment days, and still watch religiously! It's been such a pleasure seeing your family grow!

[@CowGirlKat8691]

Same here. Here for her not the high priced product reviews

[@Grannysouth]

I would also love to see an Hourglass dupe video

[@kimmaximovich1078]

I think Hourglass powder complexion products make a huge difference on mature skin. They don’t look heavy and powdery but light and can be built up but kind of dummy proof. As my skin gets drier with age, I appreciate them and feel they’re worth the price.

[@tonyasuttie3296]

Kim Maximovich I agree!

[@de15nne1]

Me2...love the Hourglass powders

[@karekausnicolli4890]

Good to know! My skin used to be oily to normal and now it's normal to dry. I think I would try the foundation and the bronzer, based on Emily's review.

[@Nursekim0915]

Really wanting to try the products im 48 seeing more and more fine lines and much drier skin

[@ginnyburley9552]

For me the Hourglass powders there’s something very special about not just the shade but the way they interact with my skin. The shades are subtle, but the pigment in the blushes lasts. I can find great blush shades in lots of price points, but many many blushes are just gone within 2 hours. Somehow, these blushes just last. I don’t like to pay the luxury makeup prices of these products, but I got one of those 6-pan face palettes and it’s worth it for me.

[@kelseysgrammar]

Just a tip for those who have a hard time with eyeshadow application like I do, I’ve found that the ambient lighting powders worked over some harsh lines blends it beautifully! Give it a try, because they have this blurring effect to the skin, it’s great for cleaning up any eyeshadow mistakes! 💕

[@abunchahooey]

I completely agree! I have a mini sized (from Sephora) Dim Light for exactly this purpose. Also, if my blush application is a bit patchy or too concentrated, Dim Light to the rescue!

[@cornelias.5271]

9/10 times I use my Hourglass nude bronze light in the crease, a scattered light on the lid thats it. Sooo easy but looks amazing!

[@katia_g213]

I know! That's how I feel too 😂😂

[@Soapartisan875]

I use the diffused light to set my undereyes it’s wonderful for that purpose because it’s so finely milled it nicely brightens the area without looking cakey and without creasing .. I have also used it as a allover buffing/finishing powder after setting my face it adds a little bit of luminosity to the skin while still being a matte powder it’s really a nice product ..if you are looking for a dupe the Milani prep set and glow is similiar as well as the wet n wild cabana boy shade of their bronzer which we all know isn’t a bronzer it has micro particles that brighten the skin it’s one of thiose products you would nevrr think of using as a face powder ..

[@PigeoneerToy]

*Emilyyy! 😱 **8:05** you're not getting the full potential of your diffused light powder, that's why you're not jumping up and down about them **8:28** 😂😂😂 They're designed to mimic different types of light (candlelight, moonlight, diffused light, etc.) to blur the imperfections without looking powdery or obvious without adding texture, even on mature skin. If people did this instead of baking they would avoid looking dry, crusty and creasy on the undereye area. **8:44** there are some special and multiple uses for those powders. I'm linking another youtuber's video since that's better than me trying to write out the whole thing* kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpuQeKt8r6-blaM *Stephanie Nicole also has very in-depth reviews on these powders, what each one does and how to choose the best for you. Hope this helps to anyone reading this*

[@silentsparrow8880]

I have a mini of the blush in ... luminous flush and it feels really special to me. It was my first time buying hourglass and it just makes my skin look so smooth and pretty and natural. Sometimes blushes with a little sheen can exaggerate my pores, but this one makes them look better to me.

[@nancicelenko3144]

I adore Hourglass products!! They just give such a lovely, more natural appearance to the skin.

[@myriamloudermilk4500]

Love the ambient light powder (luminous light) as a finishing powder! the skin looks amazing and flawless with a natural glow within. I got a sample of the primer mineral veil and feels amazing.Thank you it was very informative and helped me in which products are worth spending money.

Omg i love seeing baby Rhett and his little head at the bottom of the screen. He is so precious!

[@kayroberts1576]

I think Hour Glass leaves the best flawless look over all.. they aren't as expensive as Pat.

[@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens]

And they don't poke their products into the EYEBALLS of puppies and bunnies so people can have overpriced products.

[@cornelias.5271]

I have to say that now most of my collection is from Hourglass. There is just something about there products that works for me like nothing else. There products are expensive but there powder products last forever! And I love that they have most things as travel size! On top they are CF, vegan, dont release something in a fast fashion style and there ingredients are pretty clean for a conventional Brand!

[@labaccident2010]

Still too expensive for me....though maybe I should just stick with getting their powder products because their foundation doesn’t come pale enough for me.

[@randylynns]

I loved this video thanks! I use the primer down my neck and on the back of my hands. It makes everything look young and smooth.I am in my 60's so that is a real bonus.I use the bronzer , blushes , mascara ,and the scattered light. I love them. The scattered light gives a lovely wash of glimmer on my eyelids. Your look turned out beautifully. I highly recommend these products too!

[@emilynoel83]

what a cool tip!!

[@wndrtigres]

Tip for those with oily eyelids like me - instead of using one layer of eyeshadow primer, use two very thin layers and let them dry 30 seconds to a minute in between application. I use the milani as it's the best for the price. Two very thin layers and my shadow will not budge

[@emilynoel83]

I've never heard this tip before! thanks for sharing!!

As I watch your videos I always do the same thing. 1st - watch all the way through uninterrupted & enjoy. 2nd - Read through your notes, comments & recommendations. 3rd - rewatch video - stopping as I go to makes notes on products & notations of times in the video where you bring up a particular item of interest & re-reference your notes for added info etc. This is also when I add extra notes to the products I’m interested in trying. You’re my go to resource for all things beauty & just wanted you to know how seriously I take your advice. Thank you so much for all you do, the time & effort you put into each video & as always for sharing yourself & lovely family. You’re all gem & we adore you all! God Bless!

I just wanted to tell you thank you. I have been following you for 10 years and you have taught me everything I needed to know about makeup. It’s so nice to have someone to rely on and learn from still that isn’t involved with all the drama in the beauty community!

[@amomentwithmileva]

Emily thank you for doing this. I usually don't put my 2 cents in but this time I will. I love the way you look your face is FLAWLESS like a model!!!! Love their powders and I love their primer it has noticeably when I apply it with my finger hide my one line under my eye like magic (I am 55 years old). The blushes are nice but I can get a great blush look from Beauty Bakerie for a lot less. The primer truly made a difference for me. The setting spray is very nice but I feel like I can get that with UD All nighter too. Never tried the eye shadows. HINT: Try using the Hourglass primer on top of your Hard Candy smoothing primer OMG it's soooooo good. I use it over Tacha, over Tarte smoothless primer, over ELF putty primer it's a great addition to what you already use there is something in there that keeps you from getting oily and makeup stays on until you go to bed! LOL

[@maritaind]

Thanks for the tip of having the Hourglass primer over another primer. I will try that

[@watermelongal5512]

I know I can never afford a full face of Hourglass makeup but I'm so glad you remind us that there are other products that will give us the same affect! Thanks so much for this video! It's nice to see you have a special guest at the end there! Rhett is at such a cute stage! He's too adorable!

[@joaniechan9345]

I really like the ambient powder as like a last powder product to blend everything in? I find it gives everything a softer look. It is super subtle but i do like my makeup soft looking

[@SarahLewis2005]

I do this too. It is also my favorite for the under-eye.

[@EricaConger]

Hourglass products are so lovely! I absolutely love watching you apply your makeup. You're always so thorough when discussing the products that you use. And you are so soothing and calming to me. Just love ya!!

[@tawnyk3381]

The ambient powders are best used as a finishing powder. After you apply all of your makeup, buff some of that powder all over your skin and it helps to meld your highlight, blush and bronzer together and gives your skin an airbrush, creamy finish.

[@soniathegemini1593]

Hourglass blushes are so smooth and beautiful, just like fairy dust ✨ didn’t know such beautiful blushes existed until I tried them. The ambient lighting powder is also beautiful. Haven’t tried the other products but they certainly live up to the hype🙌

[@Lisa-qu4ft]

Omg. The dim light ambient powder changed my life. It is my ride or die product from hourglass, in fact my ride or die make up product full stop. It reflects light in the most flattering way possible.

[@GardenRetriever]

Hi Emily, thank you for the information on Hourglass. Your skin looked beautiful. The Hourglass color compacts remind me of Laura Geller products. I often forget that she was one of the first to sell high quality baked face products. Would love to see a dupe of the products, the concealer seemed creamy but not gooey...

[@Standurground10]

Dang girl! I never feel lucky on night shift and here you are posting. My favorite is Saturday after I get home. You never fail and its my favorite upload hands down! Thanks for the pick me up tonight

[@barbarajean426]

The ambient lighting powders are my favorite.

[@tonyasuttie3296]

I’m 51 and love HG powders, bronzers, highlighter, and blush. It is wrinkle friendly! I have dry/normal skin and like the primer as well as the new setting spray. The foundation is way too heavy for me.

[@hopelessromantic8682]

(I was told;) The Hourglass finishing powders are just that, finishing powder. Once you finish all your face makeup, gently sweep the powder over the face and it gives you a diffused glowing look. They won’t work as setting powder or for just a highlight. 🤷🏼‍♀️ That’s what a makeup artist told me. 😉

[@AshleyLamora]

Hourglass is an investment but SO WORTH IT. Takes years to go through their powders. Essence glow for it is a dupe for the ambient powders. Alsojoahmakes a white veil primer dupe for the hourglass. I find the loreal shake and glow is a dupe for the setting spray. The revlon 1.5mm black liner is also a dupe for their eyeliner. And finally the nyx on the rise is a dupe for the caution mascara. I also find for the gloss the loreal color riche lip glossy lipsticks especially in glossy fawn is a dupe for the hourglass lipgloss. Oh my how cute is he!

[@lesleyhenry7999]

I love the Ghost Palette. I wear it everyday and even use it on my eyes. As I have gotten older I appreciate the subtle glow of the Hourglass powder products with their great staying power. Thank you for your review and introduction to some of their products I haven’t tried, too.

[@judithcatlett8518]

Hourglass has small eyeshadow pallets. You can find them at Nordstrom’s.

I absolutely adore the Ambient powder in Diffused Light for setting my eye primer, cheek products, and especially my concealer. I haven’t found anything that quite dupes the color, texture, and end effect. I buy the mini, and it lasts almost 1.5 years.

[@tanhome7]

Hourglass is a stand out brand 100%! They are cruelty-free and completely vegan as well which is worth mentioning for your audience. Their products are IDEAL for dry and mature skin as well, those people who would normally never use a finishing powder or a setting powder. The only thing I wouldn’t recommend is their liquid foundations but everything else in their line is superb!! 🤍 I mean superb!! Worth every dollar 💵

[@tabithabell9568]

Firstly, love the Rhett cameo! 🥰 Secondly, to me what sets Hourglass apart is the high quality ingredients. I have super sensitive acneic skin and there are ingredients that aggravate it, such as talc, mineral oil, coconut oil, etc. The Hourglass powders don't contain talc! 🙌 The Ambient Lighting Powders are amazing for brightening and blending. I use Ethereal under my eyes, and Luminous is fantastic all over the face to blend and diffuse all my other products together. While there are other less expensive options to achieve a similar look, there aren't any that achieve the same look with the same ingredients.

[@Kstar327]

I have oily skin in the summer and combo skin spring/fall/winter and I swear by the hourglass mineral veil primer I have been using it for about 5 years its expensive but you use so little of it that I buy the value size and it lasts me about 2 years. I am also in my early 50's and I find that hourglass face products powder, blush bronzer powders are so fine and don't attract attention to my textured skin or fine lines. I used to use Laura Mericer loose powder but now I use the Hourglass veil finishing powder as well as the pressed powder.

[@catespinal1643]

I really enjoy using Dim Light under my eyes to set my concealer. Oddly enough, I also enjoy using it like a soft “bronzer” on no-makeup days. Idk how since it’s not very dark... but it is peachy enough on my skin tone to look really nice. I also use dim light as a eyeshadow base on no-makeup days too. I build it up as much as I can and then put something light like the Charlotte Tilbury cream shadow in jean on top. So pretty! Thank you for putting this video together! Really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on Hourglass.

[@carriemeadows3518]

The more I see that shade of blush you have from hourglass, the more it reminds me of the pink glowy blush from Found Cosmetics! I have always heard that the face products from hourglass are the smoothest and easiest to blend. Jamie Paige also loves that scattered light shadow; it seems popular with lots of folks, so I'm intrigued by the formula.

[@joannawarrens5117]

I love the loose powder too! I hardly ever set my face but today I needed to wear a mask grocery shopping so I set the Too Faced Peach Perfect. My cheek products are so pretty and lasted all day. And it’s a Sephora birthday gift too! Great video as always!

[@tanhome7]

Hourglass setting powder kicks Laura Mercier to the curb because Hourglass doesn’t contain talc which draws moisture out of your skin. It’s a terrific powder for dry & mature skin. Overall, they have some of my most favorite and treasured products that cannot be duped at the drugstore.

[@lovesyorkies3395]

You know who has a really pretty shimmer is Shiseido. I can’t remember if there’s two or three colors for the shimmer but it’s soooo pretty. Speaking about remembering....it completely boggles my mind how you can remember so many products and reference them off the top of your head! I have trouble remembering my foundation shade so I take a picture of the bottle then the color. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thanks for doing this video, I really want to try their foundation and maaaybe the loose powder. I got the exact HG blush in my Boxycharm a couple of months ago and it’s very pretty. Oh my goodness! Rhett is getting so big! He’s soooo precious! You have a beautiful family!

Hour Glass Diffused Light Ambient Lighting Powder: I’m 38 and cannot wear sparkly highlighter anymore (thanks teenage me who didn’t wear sunscreen). I SWEAR by this product. I used it as a last step over the areas where KZbinrs “highlight” with concealer. I have naturally blue undertones under my eyes. This product brightens the crap out of that area and everywhere else I put it. People comment on my makeup & skin but I really think they’re just complimenting this product on my skin. I bought a full size 3 years ago and am just now running out so the value is there when you’re looking at the price. And just a dab will do ya! And I know it’s hard to see in the videos, but in real life it’s gorgeous!

Love Hourglass... the ambiant light I use on places I want a glow/light but not over do it; tempels of the forehead, tip of the nose, cupidsbow. It is smooth, does blurr my skintexture, so I will also use it in top of a matte blush, a cream highlight when my texture is to present. Love it!

Maybe talk more about the shade range options for other complexions than yourself. For example, the bronzer was nice, but what is their shade range? How about the foundation as well as the concealer? Just something I was thinking throughout the video.

Maybe I'm biased bc I love Hourglass but I disagreed with every negative thing you said! I think the products are well worth the money and I never regret a purchase.

My favorite bronzer is Radiant Bronze Light. Took me at least four years to get through one compact, and that's with using it nearly every day!

I use the Diffused Light ambient lighting powder for color correction on my red areas. It really does help but still looks very natural and not heavy. I’ve also used it to set my under eyes and tone down things when I overapply other color products. I will always have it in my collection. I also use the Dim Light as a bronzer/contour in colder months when I’m at my palest (very fair). It helps me avoid overapplication and the orange tone that most bronzers give me.

[@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens]

*Yes, yes, yes, Emily! You should definitely be using the Ambient Lighting powder! Once you've finished your makeup (but before lip products) get a big fluffy powder brush and swirl it into the Diffused Light Ambient powder and buff it all over your face. One side at a time. Not only will it add a beautiful, subtle glow to the skin but it ensures you have no harsh lines or edges and makes your complexion products look seamless! This would have been an excellent thing to do with this particular look because it was so very matte.*

Emily, the scattered light works best with a cream eyeshadow. No primer or powder shadow needed.

[@happinin07]

The only product of theirs that I've been drawn to, and totally love is their Veil Primer. It helps my skin look great on its own, but also helps my foundation last longer. I've always been curious about their blushes, but I love matte blush too much.

[@BlueJean1019]

Lovely look Emily! I recently purchased the Hourglass eyelid primer and I really found it kept my shadow in good shape all day! I’m a nurse and I’m wearing a mask all day so the only part that is visible is my eyes. Now we are also wearing eye protections well, and things can become quite swampy with all the condensation. The Urban Decay eye potion was not stopping me from creasing. When the Hourglass eye primer runs dry, maybe I’ll try the Milani one, probably one-third the price. ~Regina~

Emily, I just have to say that this makeup looks especially nice on you. I think you do drug store makeup well as you can make anything look great but there was something about this that looked more "high end". I so agree about that bronzer. Waiting until I use a little more in one of those big holiday palettes before I spring for this one. Your little boy is so adorable!

I have never felt any powders that were as soft and beautiful as hourglass powders.

I’ve been using diffused light ambient powder for years strictly as an under eye setting powder!! (And to set my primer on my lids). It sets it just enough to prevent creasing but without making me look dry, and deflects the light perfectly! Try it!

Thank you, Emily :) Hourglass is one of those, "mysterious" brands for me, too. I've used the Dim Light powder with mixed success, always writing it off to user error, lol. I gifted the Aura scattered light shadow to my daughter, too. I think you look beautiful and seeing baby Rhett was just a bonus! XO

Love your yellow necklace with the pink tee in this vid. I also am loving the hourglass ambient glow at the moment.

I don't know but I did notice a difference after the setting spray before Emily said she didn't think it had any soft focus effect. I thought it did work and it made her look ethereal.

I’m a big, big fan of the ambient lighting powders. They just add that certain something and the end “product” just looks better (I’m 48). Also really love the bronzer and blush.

Thank you for the demo. My favorite product is the lip treatment oil by far. Pricey yes, but very very well worth it. Amazing product....

[@KeshaUncensored]

I’ve been talking myself out of buying that setting spray for WEEKS. So glad you reviewed it.

[@jenniferdonohoe4392]

I totally agree with you. The ambient lighting bronzer in diffused is amazing! I also have the luminous flush blush and I find although the colour isn't unique, the staying power is incredible and the application is foolproof. Thank you for your amazing review I thoroughly enjoyed it. 😁

I LOVE my Ambiant Lighting Powder to set my undereyes. I hate having my undereyes look dry and crepie, with that magical powder, they look smoothe and hydrated. I also buff all of my make-up at the end of blush, bronzer, highlight. Makes everything melt all together and look seamless and airbrushed.

Thank you for sharing baby Rhett with us. He's darling and getting so big!

[@patriciagray2708]

I would have liked to see you swatch & or use more of the highlight palette . It looks so pretty. ♡

No reflection on your video - which I loved - but I can’t believe they called that foundation shade “nude” - shouldn’t all foundations look nude on the individual? I commented on their Instagram about this. I’ve always wanted to try hourglass and respect the quality of their products but we need to challenge these brands where they are wrong.

[@isthatjackson]

I agree with you. “Nude” being used to equate to a white person is icky. Good for you for speaking up on something you noticed. I think I prefer number naming systems for foundations instead of names.

I always enjoy your videos they are cheerful and loaded with wonderful product information. I really liked the sweet little addition at the end, Rett is so adorable as are the girls. You have been blessed with a beautiful family.
