These have easily became my most favourite blushes of all time and they are the no brainer choice when I do my make up. Lets cut to the chase and get started WHOOO~ o(〃^▽^〃)o Colour wise, it mimicked naturally rosy – or flushed – cheeks so I could see it being perfect for no-makeup makeup looks.It is no surprise that I myself had fallen deeper and deeper into the Hourglass ambient hype, so when they announced that they were going to expand their ambient line with blushes two years ago, I knew I had to have them! Fast forward to today, I now have all the shades and thought it would be a good idea to do swatches for you guys. It looked quite similar to Diffused Heat but was comparatively matte in its finish, which I liked. Still it’s a lovely, universally flattering colour and would look great on anyone who doesn’t mind a bit of a sheen on their cheeks. Strange, because the regular Diffused powder is quite matte. ![]() Boo.ĭiffused Heat: I was hoping to like this one, but found it a tad too shimmery in real life. Sadly, my pale yellow skin tends to look better with warm blushes. If you like cool blue-based pinks or have a darker skin tone that can carry this hue, it’s a lovely choice. Radiant Magenta: In its case, this was the prettiest of the bunch and was super pigmented too. If only it were a more saturated peach colour, it’d be perfect. It was so close to my skin tone that unless I was super precise in my application, chances are I’d look like I was just wearing the wrong shade of foundation. I actually think it’d be flattering on a wide range of skin tones, and with its earthy undertones I could see this used as transitional contour colour.ĭim Infusion: I felt like this was the trickiest colour to work with. Mood Exposure: I was surprised by how much I liked this one! It appeared positively muddy in its case, but on my skin it was a deep berry colour. You’d have to cake this on for it to show up…it’s almost more pink-hued highlighter than blush. It took heaps of it to show up even slightly pink on my skin, and when it did it was powdery. Here are my thoughts on the various colours:Įthereal Glow: The lightest of the bunch, and in my opinion a total waste of time. This was taken indoors under artificial lighting:Īnd this was taken just outside the store in natural light. I shamelessly swatched them all early one morning at Sephora, and took photos of them in different lighting conditions to show the results. Hourglass makes 6 blushes, which are blends of varying blush pigments marbled into their famous Ambient Lighting Powders. ![]() This is for you Min, so I hope you’re paying attention! ![]() Hourglass products aren’t available in Singapore, so before I left for LA a friend asked if I could check out the brand’s range of Ambient Lighting Blushes and report back.
