by one of my greatest hourglass loves (and one of the things I use the most from the entire line)
Even MOAR ideas!! On the off chance that you haven’t already heard, there’s a Sephora VIB sale this month! To give you some ideas, I’m highlighting some of my favorite makeup that you can find at Sephora this week.
I’ve been the proud, delighted owner of this highlighting palette ever considering that the first time it came out in 2013, and I lurve it just as much today as I did five years ago.
The hourglass Ambient lighting palette is $62 at full price, a.k.a. HELLA EXPENSIVE, but the Sephora VIB discount kicks it down to $49.60, which is a teensy bit much easier on the wallet.

Whenever someone near or above 30 asks me for a highlighter recommendation, this palette, along with MAC Hush, are the first two things that come to mind.
為什麼？
Well, each of the three face powders in the Ambient lighting palette has a charming opalescent glow…

Hmm, let me rephrase that, because I don’t know if “opalescent” is quite the ideal term. Basically, I think the finish is unlike anything else out there. Opal, or pearl, would indicate some evident shine, and the Ambient powders aren’t even close to shiny. They’re a velvety pearl, if that makes any sense, because while you can can absolutely see light bouncing off your skin when you wear them on your upper cheekbones or down the bridge of your nose, they’re nowhere close to shimmery or frosty or shiny.
It’s the subtlest of glows (here are some swatches). You might not even be able to tell at first that there’s something there, but when you look closely…there is!
From sephora.com…
這是什麼：
A palette featuring three shades of Ambient lighting Powder, the high-tech, soft-focus finishing powder that recreates the most exquisitely flattering types of light.
它能做什麼：
Ambient lighting Powder is a groundbreaking collection of finishing powders that capture, diffuse, and soften the way light reflects on skin. Unlike standard powders, which merely cloak imperfections, Ambient lighting Powder utilizes photoluminescent technology to filter out extreme light and refine the appearance of the complexion. The powders deliver a multidimensional luminescence to every skin tone, making it appear softer and lit from within. The finishing powders enhance skin in any type of light, including flash photography. With three universal shades available in the Ambient palette, you can create any desired effect.

還有什麼需要知道：
This palette includes Incandescent Light, a shade exclusive to this palette, and two existing shades, dim Light and Radiant Light. This product is complimentary of talc, gluten, fragrance, and nano particles.
“I learned early on how different types of light can genuinely flatter the complexion. growing up, my mother had pink light bulbs in all of the lamps throughout the house. She loved pink light because it was the softest and a lot of flattering, and she always wanted to look good. I used this concept of lighting in Ambient lighting Powder.”

I mostly use the Ambients as highlighters, either wearing them separately, or I mix them together, but I also occasionally use them to set under-eye concealer. often I’ll do a light dusting all over my face with a big fluffy brush *after* setting liquid foundation with MAC Mineralize Skinfinish natural in golden Tan, and I kid you not, my skin will look unreal — like there’s some kind of real-life Instagram filter following me around.
Granted, a lot of makeup “civilians” don’t really notice it, but if I ran into you or any of my hardcore makeup peeps, you’d ask what I did with my skin that day ideal QUICK.
哦！ Eyeshadow — these work great for that too. Brow bone highlight. inner corner highlight. lid highlight! All the eye highlights… I love how the powders are much easier to blend than mattes (because they do have that velvety pearl). I can absolutely lift brows and open up my eyes without having to use a frosty finish that would just emphasize all of the fine lines I’d rather not call attention to.
