Once I discovered this powder I've not used anything else. I'd read about how wonderful they were so one day at Sephora I decided to take a look. I tried out all the shades and while they were all beautiful, Diffused Light was the best for my very pale skin. I decided to buy a mini and after that I purchased the full size compact. Hourglass products are expensive, yes, but they last a VERY long time. The mini palette lasted me months! The full size palette I've had almost a year and I've barely made a dent in it despite the fact I use it every single day. So if you're hesitant on the price I promise you will absolutely get the quality and value that makes it a worthwhile purchase. In terms of the powder itself, I love it because it perfects my skin. It gives me flawless, airbrushed look with very little product. This means it never get cakey because you don't need to pile it on to get gorgeous results. The powder is so soft and finely milled but it's not delicate. I've dropped the compact a few times and screamed because I figured it would shatter but it survived (unlike my Becca Highlighter which I merely lay down I bit too hard and it shattered). While the Ambient Lighting Powders don't claim to be blurring I absolutely get a blurring effect from it. The Diffused Light has some light shimmer to it but it's not obnoxious. It's so subtle that it gives me a slightly luminous, radiant effect. Honestly, when I want to feel really pretty and put together this is my go to.This Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in the shade Diffused Light is my holy grail.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does as it’s named beautifully

So I yearned for this little guy since I was a teen when they first launched it. Note that these are not regular highlighters at all! Finishing powders are meant to look very subtly shimmery, but mostly blurring. After trying it now I understand what the fuss is about! Though it’s pricey, it truly is a beautiful silky formula in a luxurious looking case, and the powders themselves give such a healthy glowing 3D airbrush effect to your look. If you’re a complexion lover you won’t be disappointed, this is a no brainer.Shades: *Dim Light* is the least shimmery of all looking nearly-matte because it’s so finely milled, it gives a very blurring effect that’s great for all over the face or areas where you want to mesh things in a bit more. *Incandescent Light* is the lightest and probably my favorite having a lighter complexion, it’s the most shimmery too, as I recall this powder is meant for more intense lighting and a very “pure” golden white glow from within type of shimmer, worked beautifully as a highlighter topper and under the eyes. Last but definitely not least is *Radiant Light*, which is a marriage between gold and warm bronze, used alone it’s the world’s softest most diffused bronzer, but on top of other products it layers beautifully and adds an enlightened sexy warmth.Personally I like using the powders overtop of all of my makeup (including the shimmer) when I’m done, using different shades to contour different areas. I unfortunately cannot speak on behalf of the deeper palette, but in general if you want to gift yourself and get a luxurious add-on product that makes for a very silky uniform finish, step into the light!

5.0 out of 5 stars Too pricey? WORTH IT!

My skin is good at 75 and due to good genes, little sun and good skin care, it paid off, II've used mid range skin care all my life. BUT, after seeing this on YouTube several times. my instincts kicked in and I splurged.It's fine milled, pigmented but not too much and I've stopped using foundation at least for awhile. It's now worth the price because it makes my skin look beautiful. Glad I listened to my instincts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Combo

Love this Palette! I use it almost every day and it looks like I've hardly used any. I bought it on Sept 27th.I have medium-toned skin. I use the color on the left as a base eyeshadow. It blends well with any color. I use the middle highlighter on the brow bone and inner corner of my eyes. I can wear this as a natural look eyeshadow and contour highlighter on the rest of my face or add other eye shadows with it to glam it up.I hate glittery products, I'm in my 50's and that does not look good on mature skin. This adds the perfect amount of luminous touch, it makes my skin look healthy and glowing. I feel like this would be a good fit for anyone with light to medium-toned skin. It may be too light if you have very tan or darker skin.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too sparkly for me

It seemed like a great powder- but was too much sparkle for me, even though finely milled.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highlighter and more

K. · April 17, 2021

I bought this highlighter, even though from the photo I thought it might be too pale to do anything. I was looking for a lighter, summer look. Even though the colors look pale, they do show a lovely subtle glow for under the cheek bones, cheeks and highlighter. which goes on with more depth than you'd think. I was happily surprised at the effect. I also use it as an eyeshadow, along with a smokey grey for the crease in and over my upper eyelid ,and on top of a thin line of mascara. It works beautifully! I'm so thrilled to find a product that can do all this, softly, smoothly and affectively. Not much product is needed to achieve the glowing effect, and it is buildable if you want more color. This will be my go-to for eyes and face from now on. I love this product!

Me parece muy caro para lo que realmente esLos iluminadores son muy bonitos pero por ese precio no compensa. Esperaba algo diferente. Que no pudiese encontrar en otras marcas más económicas. Pero no ha sido así

Lovely
