Overview: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Quad – Ghost

Each time Hourglass releases a brand new Ambient Lighting palette, I inform myself I’m not getting it. Each single time (nearly), I fail in my resolve LOL!

This 12 months, when Hourglass leaked footage of their upcoming Ambient Lighting Edit Palette – Ghost, I had a deja vu second. It seemed far an excessive amount of like the opposite Ambient Lighting Edit Palettes I already personal (authentic, Vol. 3 and Unlocked) to justify shopping for. Additionally, I discovered it sadly unexciting.

Then, a number of days later, I got here throughout one other launch – the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Quad – Ghost. And on this, I pounced! 😀

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Quad – Ghost

The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Quad – Ghost, is a part of the Hourglass Ghost assortment they’ve launched for the Holidays. I’m unsure why they’re leveraging on a non-corporeal being for the festive season, however I suppose that’s artistic license for you 😛

Consistent with the religious theme, the packaging is fairly completely different from earlier palettes. The quilt is a reflective silver, and the physique is a translucent plastic.

I initially felt that it would look or really feel low cost, however because it seems, it doesn’t. It doesn’t look as luxurious as the opposite Hourglass merchandise, that a lot I’d admit, nevertheless it isn’t insubstantial, because the title would possibly suggest.

Blush quad for blush lovers

Properly, the explanation I needed to have it’s two-fold. First, I like blush, as a lot of you possibly conscious. Hourglass blushes are of excellent high quality, pigmented, translucent, and flattering.

Second, I snapped up the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush trio that was launched a number of years in the past.

That’s the trio on the left of the image above.

I beloved it to bits! It was helpful, so I might carry a number of blushes round, the packaging was slim and compact, and the colors had been very flattering on pores and skin. I wore them so typically and nonetheless attain for it at any given alternative.

Oddly sufficient, Hourglass by no means noticed match to launch one other blush palette, focusing as a substitute on the Ambient Edit palettes (with the 6 pans). Properly, till now, that’s! 🙂

Within the palette are a number of shiny and hotter colors. You need to use them individually (in case your blush brush matches) or as I love to do, simply combine them up and go. It’s simply simpler.

The swatches are as greatest as I can get them to point out. The powders are fairly clear, in order that they aren’t conventionally pigmented. There’s color, and it’ll present up very simply on pores and skin, nevertheless it doesn’t translate to an opaque band of color on pores and skin.

The shades within the quad are:

• Surreal Impact (new) – This can be a gentle pink that appears youthful on pores and skin. Nevertheless, don’t let the pale swatch idiot you. While you use a brush, it interprets as a stunning gentle pink.
• Good Nude – That is an present shade, and has a golden sheen. Use it as a spotlight, or simply mix it with one of many different colors, to create a extra golden tone
• Lucid Glow (New) – A deeper flush of pink, this could present up on these with a deeper pores and skin tone. When you have lighter pores and skin tone like I do, it may be simple to overdo. Once I use this, I simply dab my brush on the floor, then mix it into my pores and skin. That means, it seems to be extra pure.
• Infinite Flush (New) – This one’s the warmest shade, being a heat peach. Whereas not a shade I usually put on, I like mixing it with Surreal Impact, for a contact of pink, that’s extra flattering on my pores and skin tone.

Small and mighty palette

I’m more than happy with my buy, as you possibly can inform. It isn’t very low cost, however you get good selection, if that’s one thing you search for in your make-up.

The pan sizes are the identical measurement as that of the Ambient Edit palette, which makes it fairly small. The pan sizes of the blush trio are bigger. However it’s giant sufficient that you should use a blush brush fairly comfortably with it.

Don’t be fussy about desirous to be particular together with your colors. It’s designed to be blended and loved as a complete, as a lot as it may be loved individually, and that I believe is what makes this fairly a catch!

I don’t plan to choose up many objects from the Vacation collections, however that is one which I couldn’t resist, and am very completely satisfied I didn’t! 😀
