Review: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Quad - Ghost

by - 20:16



I know this came really late and I'm not entirely sure if anyone is still able to get hold of this palette but I just had to get a blog post up on this because it's simply too gorgeous.

Prior to this, I've never owned any hourglass blush and I was on the fence about whether to get this. The reason being that swatched on hand, these blushes looked like a glittery mess with subpar colour payoff that looks chalky. But as I went to read some reviews online about this palette, there seemed to be more positive reviews than negative so I got it in the end because it seemed like a really great palette at a good price. And boy, it did not disappoint.


See what I mean? It really does look pretty chalky when swatched on hand

The first time I've used it, a swipe of the blush was enough for my cheeks. Unlike when it was swatched on hand, the colours showed up beautifully on the cheeks. With this palette, you get 2 Blush and 2 Strobe Blush. On me, Lucid Glow is a coral, good for everyday blush that gives an almost sunkissed look on the skin.

Top (L-R): Surreal Effect, Brilliant Nude
Bottom (L-R): Lucid Glow, Infinite Flush

I've been using it everyday for a good 3 weeks and found that I much prefer mixing them together. On days where I want a pinkish-coral look I'd mix Surreal Effect and Lucid Glow together, on other days when I prefer a more muted look I'd swirl Lucid Glow and Infinite Flush together for a more natural look. What do you think?

Hope this helps anyone out there if you're still deliberating on whether to get Hourglass blushes! They definitely don't look impressive when swatched but when applied on the face they can be really pretty.

Thanks for reading!
