sheer lavender pink powder that mimics the softest most forgiving light and

6. Pigmentation/Coverage: Well pigmented, medium build-able coverage although their purpose is not to cover but to add luminosity to your face.
7. Texture: It is smooth and silky and not powdery on the face.
8. Function/Formula: As the Hourglass website states:
- Powders capture, diffuse and soften the way light is reflected on skin, brighten the appearance, and conceal skin imperfections, pores and wrinkles
- Infused with technologically advanced soft-focus particles
that help make skin appear younger, even-toned and radiant
9. Longevity: It lasts for about two to three hours with setting spray and primer.
- Unlike traditional powders that use opaque pigments, Ambient
utilizes “photoluminescent technology” – micron-size spherical particles that
refract light and create transparent coverage
- Free of parabens, talc, fragrance, nano-particles and gluten
10. Price: In US - 45 Dollars. In Europe: 52 Euros
11. Look/Swatches:
12. Opinion: I personally like it a lot and it did blur my fine lines on my forehead and gave my skin a bit of glow. It felt good on the skin but looking at how much it costs, I can't think of buying more of the other shades because it's just too expensive. If you really think of it, you don't REALLY need it but nevertheless I recommend it.
13. Grade:
