However, they still give the cheeks “life” and dimension because they’re not completely matte. On a scale from fully matte to glowy/luminous, Clinique is at the very far end of the “glowy/luminous” range, while these Hourglass blushes are in the middle, some shades leaning more toward the “glowy/luminous” end. These have a velvety smooth finish and gives a slight glow to the skin, but not as “glowy” or “luminous” of a sheen as the Clinique Cheek Pop though.

These powders are very powdery when you swirl your brush on the pan, however they do not apply or look powdery on the skin at all. Diffused Heat is just a tinge more vibrant. It gives a very diffused look.These two are also very similar although they swatch differently on my arm. I love using this with my NARS Yachiyo brush (obviously this is my favorite blush brush hehe) and very light-handedly swirl the colors in circular motions along the cheekbones. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush – Luminous Flush This shade reminds me of Tarte’s “Exposed” blush. It might look slightly muddy, especially when overpacked, on fair skin tones. This is great for all skin tones but definitely best suited for medium to dark tones.

On the pan, it looks like it would be a cool, mauve-y red but I was surprised it actually ended up being warmer when swatched and applied on the cheeks. Boohoo!ĭescribed as “ soft/muted plum“, it’s a warm, plummy reddish brown on the cheeks. I got four out of six of the blushes, reason being the Ethereal Glow is a bit too pale for my light-medium complexion (they do show up on the skin but requires a few layers, and I just can’t be bothered to layer up my blush) and the ever-so-popular Dim Infusion was sold out. These blushes were released by Hourglass to correspond with their Ambient Lighting Powders, meaning the blush shades are actually infused with the corresponding Ambient Lighting Powder shades.įor example, the “Dim Infusion” blush means that the blush is infused with the “Dim Light” powder, hence the marble-like swirly combination of the blush color and Dim Infusion powder on the pan.

These are certainly worth the hype (although in terms of the luminosity and glow, I much prefer the Clinique Cheek Pop Blushes but they have much less wear time). Read on to find out and see the swatches of the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushes for yourselves! 🙂 <3

Lastly we have Hourglass Mood Exposure Blush which is a plum blush combined with Hourglass Mood Light, overall this is a brown come pink tinged blush which reminds me of a slightly shimmery version of MAC Mocha Blush.Ooh, I could swoon all day just by looking at the marbling and swirls of colors of these lovely blushes!īut do they wear as beautifully as they look?

Overall Hourglass Incandescent Electra Blush is a light, blue toned pink that would best suit light to medium skin tones, on deeper complexions it may be more suited as a highlighting powder.

Hourglass Incandescent Electra Blush has been listed as a cool peach blush which has been combined with Hourglass Incandescent Light Lighting Powder. The overall shade is a bright, slightly golden toned pink which is not worlds apart from MAC Stereo Rose MSF albeit a little deeper. Hourglass Luminous Flush Blush is described as a champagne rose blush which has been infused with Hourglass Luminous Light.

The other two shades are permanent and can of course be purchased in full size. Incandescent Light is a limited edition shade and can not be purchased individually (this may change in the future but for now this is the case). Within the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette there is three shades: Luminous Flush, Incandescent Light and Mood Exposure.
