    Worth the splurge!

    This is what I call magical lighting. Hourglass definitely has perfected the glow that everyone wants in their makeup. This is expensive but every time I use it, my husband comments on how pretty I look. It’s the ‘glow’ baby!! Beautiful packaging and it will last a long time!!

    Mine seems to last forever

    Even with regular use, it feels like these powders last forever. It took over a year to hit pan on one of them, and there is still plenty of product left.

    I usually use the lightest powder (the middle one) or swirl it with the one on the left to lightly set my concealer, which makes too light concealer blend a little better and makes slightly too dark concealer brighter.

    I use the left powder as a finishing powder all over my face and sometimes I use the right powder as a bronzer topper. Effects are subtle but I have better makeup days when I use it

    Insta face filter

    I bought it to try because i think pallette will be more value as i got to try 3 product for one price. At first it didnt work for me at the first time as it make me look oily right after i finished my makeup.. turns out i used it wrongly and after i use it the correct way, my face get the glow that we always get in the photo filter. U just need a tiny product (swipe) after u finished doing all ur makeup and wallahh.

    Pricey but works well

    Took me a long time to splurge on this palette. I’ve since repurchased it and consider it a holy grail product. On a daily basis, I tend to sweep all three colours together and swirl all over, to blend my makeup. Such a lovely blurred filtered effect.

    I do think, for the money, the packaging looks cheap and gets easily covered in fingerprints. I would like to see a more substantial package to match the quality of the product.

    Love It

    I have loved my single compact of Dim light since the moment I bought it nearly 2 years ago!... its a great in between of a finishing powder and a gentle highlight.
    I've been wanting more and this was a great compromise getting more of my favorite shade and 2 others to add to the group.
    These powders are so soft and leave your skin with a subtle natural looking glow.
    There are some powders that do have sparkles (one of them is in this palette) yet they are still easy to work with.

    Love, love, love! I actually use all 3! I use the first one all over my face, the middle to highlight and the last one to bronze with. I find my complexion looks great wearing this and actually get commented on it.

    I like that this palette includes 3 considerably different lighting powders. I use incandescent as a highlighter and the two remaining shades as bronzers. I love the natural and finishing effect that these powders leave. The only downside to the lighting powders is that they have the tendency to be rather chalky/powdery and have a bit of kick up, which seems like wasted product to me. If they were less chalky, this palette would be a 100% for me.

    It's quite expensive but it makes skin look incredible despite being quite sheer. The powder is very finely milled so it doesn't have any glitter chunks but it gives a softly lit and slightly dewy look.

    I like to set my under eye with the medium shade highlight a bit with the lightest and I am fair enough that I can use the darkest as a bronzer or to warm up my skin a bit, so this pallet has a bit of everything for me which is a huge bonus.
    .
    This product photographs absolutely amazing, and it makes small inperfections disappear (in photos only). So if you are a selfie fiend this may save you some time editing.

    While I wouldn't consider this a necessity it's a great addition to my kit.

    I never really used to understand these powders - they just look invisible on the skin. But I finally realized that it acts almost like an instagram filter to your face !! This palette comes in Dim Light, Incandescent Light, and Radiant Light. Foundation alone can sometimes be too matte / flat, so this really brings out some natural dimensions and softness to your face.

    Pros:
    - a little bit goes a long way
    - gives a nice glowing complexion
    - subtle
    - brightens/highlights the face
    - has 3 different powders

    Cons:
    - expensive, especially since it is not a staple product in a girl's makeup collection (but it's a steal if you were going to buy the individual one anyways)

    They have a new Holiday Collection Palette this season that I just bought and I can't wait to try it ! It has 6 different powders, and includes their blush and bronzer powders !
