description Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette Overview
While technically a highlight palette, the soft, diffused nature of these powders makes them exceptional for contouring when used correctly. They provide a beautiful, ethereal lift that mimics light hitting the high points of the face. This palette is perfect for those who want dimension without any visible powder lines, achieving a 'glowy' sculpt.
help Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette FAQ
Is the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette actually for contouring?
The original Ambient Lighting Palette is primarily a finishing and highlighting powder palette, not a sculpting contour kit. Its soft powders can subtly shape the face with light, but they will not create a sharp cool-toned contour like Kevyn Aucoin's sculpting products.
Which shades are in the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette?
The classic palette includes Dim Light, Incandescent Light, and Radiant Light. Incandescent Light was originally presented as an exclusive shade in the three-pan palette.
Does the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette add glitter?
The powders are known for a diffused sheen rather than chunky glitter. That is why many people use them as finishing powders after foundation instead of as intense highlighters.
How is Ambient Lighting different from Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit palettes?
The three-pan Ambient Lighting Palette focuses on finishing powders, while the seasonal Ambient Lighting Edit palettes usually include a mix of finishing powder, blush, bronzer, and highlighter. Hourglass releases Edit palettes in different color stories, especially around holiday seasons.
