I live in East Asian country and want to tell you'll smth you might find interesting. In here nobody use bronzers since pople prefer pale look, therefore Hourglass as well as the other 'western' brands market their bronzers as contour powders. Customers here often complain about Hourglass "contour" powders being too warm. I think it might be the reason brand started to make bronzers more cool toned. Asia is huge market. And secondly, Hourglass customer service here told me once their powders dont really have expiriory date! They have to put it on the packaging but powder itself is so high quality its supposed to last years. I hope u will find it helpful🌞😊

I hope you don't mind me asking a question, but how do you get a lighter, more diffuse look with the blushes? What kind of brushes do you prefer? Or do you use something other than a brush?I'm fair/light and I prefer a lighter skin look too. But you need a very light hand and the right tools to achieve that. I'd be grateful if you could share that information.

@DeborahCarlston the easiest way is to buy less pigmented blush, I'm pale too and i typically use flowerknows, peripera and dasique blushes. Asian brands mastered all kinds of products for pale skin tone. For me Hourglass powders work only during summer but they look beautiful on tan skin so i keep buying.

On the other hand I was immediately attracted to the vibrant pinks and blue of the lotus tin. Love your channel.

I agree that Hourglass did a great job this year with these beautiful palettes. Being light to medium myself, I could’ve definitely gone with the evil eye palette, particularly for the finishing powder in that one, but I just don’t care for the bright blushes in them. So I ordered the dragon palette, along with the matching brush. The shiny gold background on it adds to its beauty, and I’m thrilled with the packaging. I also love the blush shades, as well as the bronzer in it. The finishing powders will be perfect for brightening under the eyes, and gently blurring the blushes and bronzer. They’re more translucent, so I’m sure I can make them work. The other thing that makes me happy is that it’s a different color story from last year’s jellyfish palette that I purchased last year with the owl cover. All in all, I’m very happy with my purchase.

I did my morning makeup while watching this and on your recommendation used the palette for my Eyeshadow look! I LOVE the result and would wear for a great, everyday look! The finishing powders from Hourglass are the best for a blurred glow on the skin! ❤ This is the only "in tact" palette I have from Hourglass right now as I dropped my Sculpture palette this past year and broke both blushes. I LOVE that the blushes in the Dragon palette are different shades!!! YAYYY!! 🎉❤🎉

I have purchased one of the holiday palettes from Hourglass every year since they started. I buy them for my daughter. Last year I skipped them because there wasn't a palette that met her needs. She is of unusual ethnicity. She is Irish, French, American Indian and African American. This year I am excited for her to see the Lotus palette, although I think I would put those powders into the Evil Eye palette as that is more her esthetic. I don't think she is dark enough to use the finishing powder as a finishing powder because she has a more medium skin tone but I know she will like the blush shades and the highlighter. Thank you so much for showing us each of the palettes and in natural light. It is so helpful.

I love that you used the powders as eyeshadows!!! 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, and the bronzer (which I use as a contour powder) 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.

Even better than RMS blushes(sorry). I agree about the 2 pinkish blushes, but I mixed the apricot one with the coral one to make a different blush. But, the apricot looks great on its own too. I also love the highlighter, even on my eyes with the bronzer in the crease. I’m traveling, quite a bit for the next 2 months. so this came just in time.

I've been interested in the Lotus palette, mainly for the 2 blushes. The Red 0 shade looks very similar to a blush I own - the Suqqu Melting Powder Blush in 07 Yoiurushi. But my main concern is whether Hourglass has been able to achieve the same refined, luminous finish in the red shade that they have been able to offer in the pink blushes they typically come out with. Some swatches of the red shade look a bit patchy. Another thing I'm not sure about is whether it's safe to use these highlighters on the eyes although this extends to bronzers / highlighters of other brands as well, not just Hourglass. And thank you for your review, very helpful as always!

The tiger and snake seemed less curated for darker skin, more like they wanted a colour story which would pass for darker skin but still be usable for light-medium skin. 2- I appreciate the peachy blush as something to mix with red blush but by itself it does not show up on me, no matter how much i build it and I am by no means super dark skinned - I am a mac nc50/nars macao/fenty 390. 3 - the "bronzer" is a contour for me also, it is neutral-cool leaning. 4 - 3rd year in a row the dark pallete has had light blue packaging 😂 Overall I do like the lotus more then the tiger as an all round face palette, where i can have my contour, finishing powder, blush and highlight. My issue with tiger was the fact it has 3 highlighters (2 that are ashy on me )and the 2 blushes a more highlighing blush toppers so it is not very complete as a face pallette. Hourglass is moving at a snails pace in the right direction 👍🏾

If I could pick up separate powders and the component and make my own palette that would be cool. I'm still waiting for my perfect hourglass palette. They are too expensive to buy one and not use all of the colours

Thanks so much Sofia! Will you be getting and reviewing the new NARS face palette, I’m looking to compare to figure out which one to purchase. Not sure if the promo just shows one palette or if they will launch more than one, but a review would be invaluable 😊

I hesitated on ordering the dragon palette and now the Hourglass website isn’t allowing discount codes anymore for some reason so I guess I’m waiting for these to come to Sephora!

Nothing is unique anymore. It’s just up to you what you want to spend your money on and how many of one thing you want to have in your collection. The only thing about makeup that’s unique these days is packaging.

Hello , can You make comparsion dragon vs jellyfish ? And the this spring was quad ( bronzer, two blushes and highliter) - is it possible compare to evil eye ? 😊
@danalichvar3460Ай бұрын
I have the cheetah palette from last year and I've been so torn whether to pick another up this year, specifically dragon. I use my cheetah palette almost daily but the finishing powder is too dark for my skintone and the mood exposure blush is the swirled kind and it has way too much of the lighter tone in it, making it almost unusable because it gives no effect. I noticed hourglass did away with the fused (swirled) blushes this year which makes is more appealing to me. Hourglass truly is one of my favorite powder bronzer/blushes but they do not have quality control on the fused products they sell. I think that is what's tempting me the most with these palettes. After watching your review now I'm wondering if I want evil eye lol. The indeciveness continues!

Sophia, I wanted to let you know that I did receive my dragon palette in the light color way and two of the pans were not glued down and were sticking up and fell right out so I had to contact customer service. There might be some quality control issues here in the first batch that are being sent from Hourglass.

Oh no I hope that they can replace that for you quickly. I haven't that issue so far

Sofia- I heard you say that you’re fair but I know u tried the new Patrick Ta in 6N like I have and it matches me perfectly so I think we are the same tone and color but I always called myself light and not fair. Wondering if I’m a light as well? Are you a fair neutral? Trying to figure myself out. Thank you! And I’m tempted to get the Evil Eye bec I have the Elephant from before but this one looks prettier and less warm to me. Thoughts on the comparison between the two? Elephant seems a bit too warm for me.
@SofiaSeesBeautyАй бұрын
I consider myself fair but I am neutral-warm undertone. A lot of fair shades look super cool and pink on me. What I have noticed is that in the past I used to always be the lightest shade but now that brands have become more inclusive there are a lot more lighter shade options to choose from with various undertones (making me shade 5 in the Patrick Ta). You are totally correct in noticing that the Evil Eye is not as warm as the Elephant. I rarely reach for the Elephant palette because the bronzer is SO orangey and the blushes are bright pink. You won't have issues with the bronzer in Evil Eye (I think you will like it a lot better)
@ITFDBLAАй бұрын
@@SofiaSeesBeautyThanks for much. I for some reason thought u were 6N in the Patrick Ta and yes it’s seems these days I’m usually the second or third or fourth lightest shade now that there are more. I’m very tempted by the Evil Eye now. Thank you for reviewing for us.

Thanks for this review Sofia! I knew you’d love the Mati palette fellow Greek girl. I am always so tempted by these palettes which would be fine if I used powders. I don’t. I have several full sized HG palettes as well as multiple blush and smaller HG palettes from past years and they are all basically unused. I recently gave away 3 of them to my nieces, but I want more because they are so beautiful! I clearly have a problem with pretty palettes. Anyway I have light olive skin, and I like neutral toned colors. I can wear any of these palettes but not in the same way. The deep palette would basically be a blush palette for me. The tempter I. That palette is the red blush. Is the red blush in that truly red? If it is I think I’ll get it. If it’s a berry, I’m not as tempted because I have many berry blushes. Help please! They all look beautiful on you!

It’s my first time buying an Hourglass powder, I live in Bulgaria so we don’t have them here. I am light medium and I got the evil eye palette and the hard pressed blush does not show up on me. I first thought there’s something wrong with mine. I got it to work a little bit with the BK Anjie Blush Brush. Also that bronzer is not made for medium skin tones, it barely shows up on me. The other blushes and the highlight are okay I guess. The only thing I was impressed by and get the hype is the finishing powder. Other than that I was like, what am I missing here, these are mid!

Hi Sofia, Thanks for your review ❤ I think Hourglass can't ever make everyone's wishes accomplished 😂 i think the dragon palette is not very suitable for fair skin with a cool undertone😅 i think they need to release even more varieties to try make us all happy 🙊

I politely disagree :) The only warm shade is the peach blush which is a very popular color in most ranges
