This was the best review and explanation on the Hourglass powders and blushes. I had set these products aside and I just pulled them out again, Thanks for your in-depth, thorough video.
Stephanie Nicole You bet! I've been watching your videos marathon style from your first and working my way to your most current. I'm almost up to your latest. You said you started using a timer so your videos wouldn't be too long but I don't think you should. I appreciate that you show what you are using and how you are using/applying the products. You would be a great teacher or instructor. Have a nice week.
Trish W Thanks Trish! Some of my friends have given me the constructive criticism, that I am a bit long winded lol. jerks lol jk. So happy to have you here
Hey... I'm here from your VIB recommendations be aise I have been contemplating purchasing an Hourglass blush. Aside from that, I am OBSESSED with Cadbury Mini Eggs... I have been since I was a teen. This year I found ones with white "candy" in the center rather than milk chocolate, soooo good! I also read your post on IG and am going to make more of an effort to comment on videos!! I just started a channel about 6 months ago. I absolutely love your channel and very much look forward to your uploads more than most. You are so thorough and it truly shows. You do your research and I 100% trust your guidance. Thank you a ton!!!
I've watched this video twice already and may rewatch for the third time. Thanks so much for your comprehensive review. You're one of my very favorite TH-camrs.
sweetjeann Me too! I got the palette so I do have a smaller backup, but I have used it so much, I will need a new full size soon, but it has last me a while :)
Thank you for sharing - I watched soooo many reviews on this product and NOT ONE person (until you came along :-D) can give specific review on the Hourglass powders! You've just saved me $240 (NZ currency) because I now know exactly which shades I am buying (I am getting The trio palette and individual Mood Light). I LOVE your dead honesty and I can tell you put a lot of careful thought and hard work into every video. You are definitely number one every day go to "have to watch" beauty guru on my list. I am also glad you are not some dumb 20 yr olds (some of them give out really tacky makeup pointers on TH-cam and over half of the time they don't even have any insight to what's in the product, how to correctly use them and how they (the products) are different compared to different brands. I am really happy to say I never have to "roll my eyes" every time I watch your channel. (Thank F kin god!)
I am so on the same boat with you when it comes to blushes!! I was in denial about how many blushes I had until I actually counted them all. 72 blushes!!! I was like who has 72 blushes?? But I guess you do too:) So glad I am not alone in my obsession!
I am extremely fair & can use Dim Light as bronzer to warm up my skin tone. I love the way it blends. These Powders are magic. Just bought one of their blushes & strobe powder & can't wait to try them!
Exactly what you said happened! I started using the dim light over my fountain & a few people were like ‘you look different but I can figure out why & have you changed your foundation as your skin looks amazing.’
I'm so bummed you can only get incandescent light in the palette. I've almost hit pan on that one and barely touched the other two in the palette. It's my go to high light.
Yay! Loved it. I really like that you mentioned which products would be best for which skin tones. I am medium so, I appreciate that. Love your videos!!
40 minutes is ok with me! :-) I really appreciate this. I love my ambient lighting trio- it is like Photoshop in a palette. I use the middle one to set my concealer, the radiant around the edges, and a deftly applied one on the left as my all over powder. I love the IT brushes too! And....oh my I love those mini eggs. Way too much. Oops now I hear I shouldnt be using that middle one to set lol...what do you suggest instead?
Thanks Stephanie, best review and swatches! I am fair skinned (NC20) and love Mood Exposure as a blush/ bronzer. It gives a healthy glow and a kinda sun-kissed look on me.
Great video! I have a couple of the powders and blushes as well as the blush palette. I watched a ton of videos when they released to help me pick my color, but none were as informative and easy to understand as this one was. Would love a Becca video if you're looking for ideas...
I love this powders ! I only have the trio , all are beautiful ! I have the lavender one in my Sephora Cart & use the incandescent light to highlight all the time , so natural .
The is the best video about these powders. I finally got to understand how to use these powders. Since I have bought the pallet and Ethereal Light. And I'm so in love with them. Now off to pick a blush. Lol the It Cosmetics brushes really do work perfectly... I use the Jumbo you mention in the video & Wand Ball Powder brush sometimes. They both work well.
I do and I understand completely the subtle glow it gives to your skin. My skin has never looked more glowing and healthy since I've started using this. And I know I really want the blushes. Thanks so much for commenting back :)
I'm obsessed with these powders but don't know which other ones I should try. I have fair skin with neutral to yellow undertones. I have diffused light powder and mood exposure for blush. Any other colors would you recommend?
+Katie Rose I am fair as well & I can use them all. I love ethereal, but diffused is similar, so you don't need both. If I were you I would get Dim Light next, then mood light. The blushes I love. Mood exposure is my favorite, but then I love. I like Dim Infusion & Ethereal Glow too. Both are very subtle, but perfect for natural glow on fair/light girls
i just got the travel size Ethereal Light from Sephora and i just love it. I haven't had the opportunity to really wear it as i literally got it today, but its so pretty and the compact just feels so sleek and solid. It just doesn't feel cheap or cheaply made. Is it crazy that i love the packaging so much before i even get to enjoy the product? But i can't wait until tomorrow when i can wear it out.
Thanks for this informative video. You helped me pick the first hourglass ambient lighting powder and know how to apply it! Just received Dim light in a mini size and am excited to try it.
Your skin looks great in this video Stephanie, have you changed your routine at all? Maybe it's the makeup but it looks very smooth and almost airbrushed. Gorgeous! And thanks for another great review, I love your honesty, it keeps getting harder and harder to find reliable ladies but you always stay true to yourself.
Would the Marc Jacob bronzer brush work for applying one as finishing powder ? Mood exposure is my favorite blush as well 👍🏻 wanted to try more hourglass so thinking of getting one for finishing powder. Thanks for all the info loved this!
I have a couple of the powders and not the blushes. Thanks for clarifying that they need to be on the cheek and not swatched. Definitely getting mood exposure.
I just stumbled upon your channel and I have to say that you are by far the most helpful, put together, and informational make up youtuber. I so look forward to seeing all your videos! You are definitely unique and organized.. My kinda lady! I totally appreciate everything about this video, thank you! I will also be starting a channel soon, itd be nice to chat for some tips. I have 3 videos up right now from a year or so ago but I plan to get more put together when I start uploading videos here in a month. Right now it's just videos on home health for special needs children (my son is special needs) but I'm hoping to eventually do make up and crafts. Sorry about the length and info in all this. Again, I would love to chat sometime for some pointers if that's a possibility. You're amazing!
Thank you so much, you are a doll! I will for sure get back to you in regards to the questions once we are home. He is actually currently intbhe hospital. Chat with you soon. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to reply and help me! So appreciate it!
Thank you for making this video. Best review of the Hourglass powders. I have two of them and love them but I learned better ways to use them thanks to this video. I want to get the Ethereal blush now!
Hey Nicole! Love your informative videos! Please dont change and keep doing what you do! i have a question :)Never bought anything from Hourglass but I'm so curious! I'm fair with pink undertones. What do you reccomend for me to start with when it comes when it comes to powder? Or maybe the pallete is the better deal?:) I'm also thinking of trying the blushes sense it's my favorite makeup item. Whitch do you think is the most flattering shade? I wanted to get the Blush pallete but it's not really available anymore : (
A sales girls was trying to sell me one of these yesterday. I held of purchasing to take some time to think about it as it cost $67aud. I came to your channel knowing I could get a very informed opinion of this product. I have pale, extremely dry skin and because of this avoid setting my foundation with powder as it tends to look cake and settle in to my fine lines, I also hate the way powder clings to my peach fuzz and makes it more noticeable. The girl at the store recommended this product in dim light because It was more finely milled and contained no talc and would be less drying and be less noticeable on the fuzz. Seeing as this is not a setting powder, do you think it's a worthwhile purchase? and do you think there's a better choice out there?
Great video. I FINALLY invested in one of these. I am blonde and fair with blue eyes. I got the diffused light. I think I want to get another and perhaps a blush too. I got away from make up for a while and now I am back in......with a vengeance!! I love love LOVE good quality.
That's exactly what happened to me at sephora when I swatched the blushes I thought to myself these look too sheer, but now I'm sold. I will definitely be getting he mood exposure and ethereal pink? The one you have on. Btw you look gorgeous in this video
If I remember correctly, you are light like me? So Dim Infusion (the coral one), Mood Exposure (the plum one) & Ethereal Light (cool pink one) would all look great on you. They look so boring in the pan & the swatch horrible. There really should be a shelf talker that says Try them on, don't swatch lol. I bet they would sell so many more! They blend so well & look so natural. My fav! Thanks for watching :D
Found this in 2020 lol. You’re so helpful in helping me select my blush. I’m medium to tan skin and I wish I would’ve done some research before I ordered them through Boxycharm on sale for $12 I got Ethereal but I think I should’ve gotten diffused heat.
Omg. Stephanie thanks for this video I've had ethereal light for a bit and was about to pass it on because I felt it did nothing, now I know. Thanks a lot, now I'll use it properly
+JTG777 it was in the beginning of my channel. Sorry about that. I have fixed it since. Always a learning curve with something new. Thanks for watching
+Stephanie Nicole Totally understand! I'm glad you have fixed it. You do a great job!! I seriously learned so much from this video. You helped me decide which powders to buy and how to use them. Thanks again for the thorough review! A question for you - do you use the Hourglass bronzer as well? I'm thinking of buying that one in addition to dim.....I already have diffused. Thoughts?
Aww love ya !! Glad I found you !! I can't wait to get the new Tarte eyeliner and I just picked up the hourglass blush in magenta 💗💗from the VIB sale ,, I really want the skin finish in the 3 pack lol
+Stephanie Nicole I do have a question before I go picking blushes. Do you think it matters if I'm wearing day the Dim Light all over my face and then I use the Mood Exposer blush ? Or would I be better off using the matching blush to what Lighting Powder I've used to finish my face ? As I mentioned below I have 4 of the Lighting Powders and am just wondering should I be matching the blushes to them when wearing ? Thanks.
Hey great video !. Just curious, do you use these over a setting powder if your using a liquid foundation, or can you use this over a powder foundation ?
I didn't know they had a new one. The only bronze one I have is Radiant Light. Ooo I'll have to get it! Do you know when it comes out? Thanks for the heads up 😁
Oh I just looked it up. A light & dark bronzer. The. The Incandescent Electra blush from the palette will be available individually. April 7 for Sephora VIB & the blush April 15. I need the light bronzer! Thanks so much for letting me know
If I were to buy only one, which would you recommend? I would prefer one that I could use all over my face. I'm 61 years old - will they look good on me?
Hey please help me on what shade to purchase. I need something that is going to be versatile on all skin tones as I will be using on clients for nights out and brides. I most likely work on clients that range from very pale to medium tan skin tones l. Great tutorial x
Marie Kinnear I would get Luminous Light then. It gives a beautiful lit from within look without being glittery. You can dust it all over, or concentrate it on the cheek bones for a beautiful highlight
Marie Kinnear The palette has 3 shades in in too, I am pretty pale, and I LOVE the middle shade, Incandescent light to concentrate it to highlight on cheek bones. I would get the palette, or the Luminous.
I don't have a lot of blemishes except some redness on the side of my nose and I can get away on a busy week with only wearing mascara, concealer, setting powder, blush, and my Hourglass Diffused Light powder. Since it's a pale yellow, it is awesome to cover redness. I hit pan on mine and it's almost all gone.
Hi Stephanie! Why am I just now finding your videos?! Thank you so much for this. I have the Ambient Light Palette and I LOVE it!!! I’m definitely debating getting the full-size powders and blushes. Question for you (and maybe it’s in your vids and I haven’t seen it) have you tried the Ambient light primer at all? It looks super interesting. Thanks so much!
Have you see the new Palette that is coming in the fall? Three powders , a bronzer , and two of the blushes. I die! I was hoping you could identify the blushes for us so I don't double upas I will surely buy it. One looks like your favorite! I saw it on TrendMood1 on Instagram...sigh....
hey, Stephanie, thank you for this *as always* in depth review. could you please tell, if you thumbnail picture was retouched? or are these products THAT good? :) your skin looks soooo perfect on it, I just can't get over it :) P.S. don't get me wrong please, you have a beautiful skin, but this picture is especially impressive
This video was so informative and honest, I was curious bout these powders for ages but cause I don't have a store I ordered online based on ur video😊I ordered diffused light& dim infusion blush💕and I'm not disappointed I kinda want them all now tho🙈🙈thank u for the review👍
Arlene Kelleher Yay Arlene! I am glad you like them. These are good to get one at a time because of the price, then once you have them, they last forever because of how much you get. So it makes the sting of the cost a little easier to deal with lol. Their blushes are my favorite on earth
Hi there! New subbie :-) Thank you for doing the review it was so helpful! You are beautiful & have flawless skin. What color lipstick are you wearing? Thank you
Guess what product I bought because of this video?? The Cadbury Mini Eggs!!! Lolol. I went to walmart ‘cause I was craving chips and saw these on the way and remembered Stephanie! Hahaha. They’re delicious! I’m never eating M&Ms again.
music is too high
Wondering if you can do an updated review without the background music...pretty please!
I think this is the most comprehensive review of the Hourglass powders and blushed here in TH-cam.
Chel Pablo Thank you!
This was the best review and explanation on the Hourglass powders and blushes. I had set these products aside and I just pulled them out again, Thanks for your in-depth, thorough video.
Trish W Yay! Happy you liked it, Trish! Thank you so much for watching!
Stephanie Nicole You bet! I've been watching your videos marathon style from your first and working my way to your most current. I'm almost up to your latest. You said you started using a timer so your videos wouldn't be too long but I don't think you should. I appreciate that you show what you are using and how you are using/applying the products.

Trish W Thanks Trish! Some of my friends have given me the constructive criticism, that I am a bit long winded lol. jerks lol jk. So happy to have you here
Stephanie Nicole LOL, don't listen to them. :-)
Ps.. Could you remove the background music from your videos while your speaking? It's really hard to focus and hear you clearly :(
This is an older video....she doesn't do the music anymore.
Girl I LOVE you and your videos! I love how honest you are, and how UNBELIEVABLY educated you are. I trust absolutely 100% of what you say ❤️

I've watched this video twice already and may rewatch for the third time. Thanks so much for your comprehensive review. You're one of my very favorite TH-camrs.
man.. who doesn't want a moolight glow? I would drown my whole body in that powder and become sailormoon on crack
I cant get enough of Mood Exposure!!! Its my Favorite!.These last forever but I want t get another cause I would cry if they discontinued it. lol
sweetjeann Me too! I got the palette so I do have a smaller backup, but I have used it so much, I will need a new full size soon, but it has last me a while :)
I’m so thankful for this video. I have just purchased 5 of these and this video has been watched many times by me. So glad I found your channel.
Thank you for sharing - I watched soooo many reviews on this product and NOT ONE person (until you came along :-D) can give specific review on the Hourglass powders!

I've watched a lot of videos on these powders & blushes. By far, your video is the best! The detail and examples you gave were very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I'm glad it was useful 😘
I am so on the same boat with you when it comes to blushes!! I was in denial about how many blushes I had until I actually counted them all. 72 blushes!!! I was like who has 72 blushes?? But I guess you do too:) So glad I am not alone in my obsession!

I LOVE that brush! lol It's so soft like a cloud...
Best description of these powders!! Thank you!!
It's worth mentioning that these powders are all such a wonderful, soft and velvety formula, I died when i swatched them
I'm so bummed you can only get incandescent light in the palette. I've almost hit pan on that one and barely touched the other two in the palette. It's my go to high light.
i know your comment was from 2 months ago but if you didn't know it is sold individually now as a strobe powder.
Yay! Loved it. I really like that you mentioned which products would be best for which skin tones. I am medium so, I appreciate that. Love your videos!!
Yay! Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching 😘
Love the rundown!! I really didn't understand the concept until you explained it. Thank you!
This is the best hourglass video I’ve ever seen! Incredibly helpful. Thanks so much for your efforts!
Was told to watch this by many viewers and it was great. It is very confusing to pick one and this really helped.
I literally binge watch your videos 😁 they are so informative!! Thank you for being you, you're awesome!
40 minutes is ok with me! :-) I really appreciate this. I love my ambient lighting trio- it is like Photoshop in a palette. I use the middle one to set my concealer, the radiant around the edges, and a deftly applied one on the left as my all over powder. I love the IT brushes too! And....oh my I love those mini eggs. Way too much. Oops now I hear I shouldnt be using that middle one to set lol...what do you suggest instead?
Meggie Price I really like Mac Emphasize or Laura Mercier Secret Under Eye Brightening Powder for that.
Meggie Price I use it for setting! Lol ❤️
Thanks Stephanie, best review and swatches! I am fair skinned (NC20) and love Mood Exposure as a blush/ bronzer. It gives a healthy glow and a kinda sun-kissed look on me.
i have DIM LIGHT I AM OBSESSED! Excellent review stef! ON POINT !
What do you think would look good on medium brown skin? the blush
You are SO AWESOME!!!!!! Thank you so much for doing this very thorough video!!!!!!
PaulaB44 Thank you! So happy it was useful!
Great video! I have a couple of the powders and blushes as well as the blush palette. I watched a ton of videos when they released to help me pick my color, but none were as informative and easy to understand as this one was. Would love a Becca video if you're looking for ideas...
Thank you so much! I will for sure do a Becca video. I love their blushes & highlighters. Thanks for watching! 😁
Have to agree with the others this is hands down the best video I've seen on these powders! Your so informative! Xx💜
Charlotte Watson
I loved this video. I’m having trouble deciding which Hourglass blush and possibly ambient powder to get. I’m also fair. So helpful!!!
Finally someone explained this product. Love ❤️ hour glass
I love this powders ! I only have the trio , all are beautiful ! I have the lavender one in my Sephora Cart & use the incandescent light to highlight all the time , so natural .
Watch your video numerous times before buying any😍😍thanks for the great review
The is the best video about these powders. I finally got to understand how to use these powders. Since I have bought the pallet and Ethereal Light. And I'm so in love with them. Now off to pick a blush. Lol the It Cosmetics brushes really do work perfectly... I use the Jumbo you mention in the video & Wand Ball Powder brush sometimes. They both work well.
Love your videos, love following you. And this one was especially helpful. Don't change YOU! You look amazing here, too!!
Love this review thank you!! I picked up Luminous Light last week and I am so obsessed with it I love these!! I really want that blush palette!!
CPFashionCosmetics The blushes are so nice, I bet you will love them since you love the powders :D
I do and I understand completely the subtle glow it gives to your skin. My skin has never looked more glowing and healthy since I've started using this. And I know I really want the blushes. Thanks so much for commenting back :)
hi Stephanie! have you tried the givenchy highlighter? if so, did you like it? What about the Guerlain bronzers and meteorites? Thanks!
Could you please review the Hourglass Bronzers?
Hello ...great and intersting review ...can u mix 2 powders togethet ...for exemple dim light and luminous light at the same Time?
I'm obsessed with these powders but don't know which other ones I should try. I have fair skin with neutral to yellow undertones. I have diffused light powder and mood exposure for blush. Any other colors would you recommend?
+Katie Rose I am fair as well & I can use them all. I love ethereal, but diffused is similar, so you don't need both. If I were you I would get Dim Light next, then mood light. The blushes I love. Mood exposure is my favorite, but then I love. I like Dim Infusion & Ethereal Glow too. Both are very subtle, but perfect for natural glow on fair/light girls
I Love Mood Exposure,too.My favourite 💖
i just got the travel size Ethereal Light from Sephora and i just love it. I haven't had the opportunity to really wear it as i literally got it today, but its so pretty and the compact just feels so sleek and solid. It just doesn't feel cheap or cheaply made. Is it crazy that i love the packaging so much before i even get to enjoy the product? But i can't wait until tomorrow when i can wear it out.
Does anyone know what. Ambient color is most like the incandescent lighting powder from the trio? Thanks!
Thanks for this informative video. You helped me pick the first hourglass ambient lighting powder and know how to apply it! Just received Dim light in a mini size and am excited to try it.
Thank you for your suggestions on medium skin! Just ordered Mood Exposure based on another one of your suggestions! You're the best!
Great review! I have ordered the diffused light today wanted the dim light as well but was worried about it being too dark on my fair skin
Your skin looks great in this video Stephanie, have you changed your routine at all? Maybe it's the makeup but it looks very smooth and almost airbrushed. Gorgeous! And thanks for another great review, I love your honesty, it keeps getting harder and harder to find reliable ladies but you always stay true to yourself.
Wow.. Well I'm a moron, no wonder your skin looks so magical!! These powders truly do make a difference especially in photography/video.
Would the Marc Jacob bronzer brush work for applying one as finishing powder ? Mood exposure is my favorite blush as well 👍🏻 wanted to try more hourglass so thinking of getting one for finishing powder. Thanks for all the info loved this!
I have a couple of the powders and not the blushes. Thanks for clarifying that they need to be on the cheek and not swatched. Definitely getting mood exposure.
Its the best! I love it! It looks so boring in the pan, but it is so beautiful on. Enjoy! Let me know how you like it :)
Can I use the ambient lighting powders without foundation?
I just stumbled upon your channel and I have to say that you are by far the most helpful, put together, and informational make up youtuber. I so look forward to seeing all your videos! You are definitely unique and organized.. My kinda lady! I totally appreciate everything about this video, thank you! I will also be starting a channel soon, itd be nice to chat for some tips. I have 3 videos up right now from a year or so ago but I plan to get more put together when I start uploading videos here in a month. Right now it's just videos on home health for special needs children (my son is special needs) but I'm hoping to eventually do make up and crafts. Sorry about the length and info in all this. Again, I would love to chat sometime for some pointers if that's a possibility. You're amazing!

***** Hope he feels better
Would the IT Cosmetics brush be too big to use with the Ambient palette? If so, what brush would you recommend?
Thank you for making this video. Best review of the Hourglass powders. I have two of them and love them but I learned better ways to use them thanks to this video. I want to get the Ethereal blush now!
Yay! Thank you so much for watching 😊
Stephanie, what brush did you use with the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushes? Thank you. Blessings.
Well after this I'm finally biting the bullet and getting that palette after mooning over it for a year now.
I know this video is older but I just bought luminous light. Since they are finishing powders do they go on after blush too? Or before blush.
Hey Nicole! Love your informative videos! Please dont change and keep doing what you do! i have a question :)Never bought anything from Hourglass but I'm so curious! I'm fair with pink undertones.

One of the best informative reviews I have watched😊👍🏻
Hello, i know it's an old issue but can you please tell me which blush brush you used here?😊

I am wearing Ethereal Light in this video :)
Added to the list : ) Which powder did you use all over with the it cosmetics brush? Love the finish it gave!
Would love to see a tutorial on the makeup you're wearing in this video 💗
Sommer Mae Ethereal Light Powder, as well :) Thank you so much!
Great explanation of these powders Stephanie, thank you.
This is suchhhh an informative video, mind blowing!!
This is such an amazing review wow I only wish I had those highlighters I must try to get that It blush brush
griceldasanchez47 Thank you so much for watching & your kind words :) Happy to have you here! I love all the It Cosmetics face brushes, so soft!
Found this in 2020 lol.
You’re so helpful in helping me select my blush. I’m medium to tan skin and I wish I would’ve done some research before I ordered them through Boxycharm on sale for $12 I got Ethereal but I think I should’ve gotten diffused heat.
How do these compare to Charolette Tilbury setting powders?
Great review! I was wondering if after three years, you still like these products?
Exactly - updates!
Hi Stephanie, if I am a NC42 medium Indian skin tone and can only buy 1 powder n 1 blush, which would that be ? Can you suggest ?
Thanks a ton!!
Omg. Stephanie thanks for this video I've had ethereal light for a bit and was about to pass it on because I felt it did nothing, now I know. Thanks a lot, now I'll use it properly
Hi Stephanie! I tried dim light and it changed the color of my foundation to darker. What do you think about Ethereal light?
Background music is WAY too loud!! Such great information, but it's hard to focus with the music.....
+JTG777 it was in the beginning of my channel. Sorry about that. I have fixed it since. Always a learning curve with something new. Thanks for watching
+Stephanie Nicole Totally understand! I'm glad you have fixed it. You do a great job!! I seriously learned so much from this video. You helped me decide which powders to buy and how to use them. Thanks again for the thorough review! A question for you - do you use the Hourglass bronzer as well? I'm thinking of buying that one in addition to dim.....I already have diffused. Thoughts?
would Luminous light be good for a bride? For the photographs
Aww love ya !! Glad I found you !! I can't wait to get the new Tarte eyeliner and I just picked up the hourglass blush in magenta 💗💗from the VIB sale ,, I really want the skin finish in the 3 pack lol
Terrie Treasure Thank you so much for watching Terrie! Thats my Mom's name! Its beautiful :)
I have these & love them too. Did not know about that amazing IT cosmetic face blush though!!!
+Stephanie Nicole I do have a question before I go picking blushes. Do you think it matters if I'm wearing day the Dim Light all over my face and then I use the Mood Exposer blush ? Or would I be better off using the matching blush to what Lighting Powder I've used to finish my face ? As I mentioned below I have 4 of the Lighting Powders and am just wondering should I be matching the blushes to them when wearing ? Thanks.
Hey great video !. Just curious, do you use these over a setting powder if your using a liquid foundation, or can you use this over a powder foundation ?
Carmen Walker I was about to ask the same question..
Great minds think alike :)
You made me feel better about ordering "mood exposure." I was on the fence about it but since it's Stephanie approved, well, that's all I need :)
Thanks for the overview. I was just telling my sister I was still hazy on how these worked. Do you plan to get the new bronze ambient light?
I didn't know they had a new one. The only bronze one I have is Radiant Light. Ooo I'll have to get it! Do you know when it comes out? Thanks for the heads up 😁
There will be two! I'm not sure when they launch I just heard of them today. Just a fellow makeup addict keeping up my addiction.
Oh I just looked it up. A light & dark bronzer. The. The Incandescent Electra blush from the palette will be available individually. April 7 for Sephora VIB & the blush April 15. I need the light bronzer! Thanks so much for letting me know
If I were to buy only one, which would you recommend? I would prefer one that I could use all over my face. I'm 61 years old - will they look good on me?
Hey please help me on what shade to purchase. I need something that is going to be versatile on all skin tones as I will be using on clients for nights out and brides. I most likely work on clients that range from very pale to medium tan skin tones l. Great tutorial x
Marie Kinnear I would get Luminous Light then. It gives a beautiful lit from within look without being glittery. You can dust it all over, or concentrate it on the cheek bones for a beautiful highlight
Marie Kinnear The palette has 3 shades in in too, I am pretty pale, and I LOVE the middle shade, Incandescent light to concentrate it to highlight on cheek bones. I would get the palette, or the Luminous.
Thankyou so much. I think I'm going to get the luminous light as that's the one I was swaying towards :) xx
Marie Kinnear Good choice :)
I have the Ambient luminous Bronze light and love it
I don't have a lot of blemishes except some redness on the side of my nose and I can get away on a busy week with only wearing mascara, concealer, setting powder, blush, and my Hourglass Diffused Light powder. Since it's a pale yellow, it is awesome to cover redness. I hit pan on mine and it's almost all gone.
Your reviews are amazing and detailed!!! You are beautiful too!!!
+Betty Sanchez Thank you so much Betty
thank you Stephanie :-) love love these products x
Hi Stephanie! Why am I just now finding your videos?! Thank you so much for this. I have the Ambient Light Palette and I LOVE it!!! I’m definitely debating getting the full-size powders and blushes. Question for you (and maybe it’s in your vids and I haven’t seen it) have you tried the Ambient light primer at all? It looks super interesting. Thanks so much!
Such helpful info on these on many levels ! Thank you
Have you see the new Palette that is coming in the fall? Three powders , a bronzer , and two of the blushes. I die! I was hoping you could identify the blushes for us so I don't double upas I will surely buy it. One looks like your favorite! I saw it on TrendMood1 on Instagram...sigh....
Meggie Price I did see that! I am so excited for it! I started following TrendMood1 recently, awesome page :)
wow girl you’re so gorgeous! 😍😍
Hey Stephanie I love watching your videos. Blue is your color you look so young in this video. 😍

P.S. don't get me wrong please, you have a beautiful skin, but this picture is especially impressive
The best review on you tube,thanks for this video I will subscribe !!!
Thank you so much, Nadia! 😘
Thank you for explaining these products
This video was so informative and honest, I was curious bout these powders for ages but cause I don't have a store I ordered online based on ur video😊I ordered diffused light& dim infusion blush💕and I'm not disappointed I kinda want them all now tho🙈🙈thank u for the review👍
Arlene Kelleher Yay Arlene! I am glad you like them. These are good to get one at a time because of the price, then once you have them, they last forever because of how much you get. So it makes the sting of the cost a little easier to deal with lol. Their blushes are my favorite on earth
Hi there! New subbie :-) Thank you for doing the review it was so helpful! You are beautiful & have flawless skin. What color lipstick are you wearing? Thank you
+Kimberly Mantia Thanks so much Kim. It is Dior Fluid Stick in Tiny Pink
Guess what product I bought because of this video?? The Cadbury Mini Eggs!!! Lolol. I went to walmart ‘cause I was craving chips and saw these on the way and remembered Stephanie! Hahaha. They’re delicious! I’m never eating M&Ms again.
