HOURGLASS Ambient Lighting Powder

It is primarily a finishing powder. While it helps extend the wear of your makeup, its main purpose is to add a soft-focus, luminous effect to the skin rather than locking foundation in place like a traditional translucent setting powder.

No, it is designed to provide a lit-from-within luminosity rather than a high-shine or glittery finish. However, if you have very oily skin, you may prefer to use a mattifying powder in your T-zone first and apply this lightly over the top for a subtle glow.

No, the formula is completely talc-free, making it a great option if you prefer to avoid that ingredient.

For a seamless, airbrushed finish, use a fluffy powder brush to lightly dust it over your entire face as the final step of your makeup routine. You can also focus it on the high points of your face, like the tops of your cheekbones, for a more targeted brightening effect.

Yes, Hourglass is a cruelty-free brand, and this product is not tested on animals.

Quite the opposite. The formula is designed to smooth the skin's appearance and minimize the look of pores and imperfections, giving you a refined, soft-focus finish.
