Pam Jordan Ain’t that the truth! They would benefit so much more from releasing 2 or 3 different palettes at a time to suit a range of skin tones. I love Hourglass powders but this release was disappointing
I got this palette and i’m medium/dark and it works perfect on me. I use the lighter powder under my eyes and the darker one all over my face. I’m surprised seeing these comments saying it doesn’t work. It’s such a beautiful palette, i really hope next year they make different versions to cater every skin tone!
I'm so excited to find this video of you reviewing this pallet! I just purchased the re-release and can't wait to play with it. That you gave it high marks makes it all the more special!
Got this for my mom trying her to step out of the box with her usual makeup, she’s loved most of the stuff I get her from your channel, but as soon as I put a little bronzer on she said she looked liked a field worker. Typical Asian mom. On the positive side I love the palette and ended up keeping it for myself. Love the colors. She loves using highlighter. I showed her that women her age and Asian look great with a little highlight. Plus she looks great for being 67. Keep up the videos, my mom loves seeing someone in her age group and Asian trying new makeup 😊
Hey, you said you wanted to make a tutorial using the new Bobbi Brown Camo luxe palette. Please, don`t forget about it :) I have this palette as well and I`m loving it, except the highlighter is a bit dark for my light skin (about NC20), but I still can make it work for my skin as a highlighter.... Many regards :) Watching you a long time already from Germany and I`m loving your channel :)
I enjoyed this video. You have peaked my curiosity because you say it is your favourite palette so far. I do wish you had compared it to last years' ambient edit palette (which I own) - that would have helped me decide about this purchase.
I had how deceiving the promo photos are because I was so excited to try this palette finally. Is there some powders from them that you think would work for me?
I still can’t decide if I want to take the plunge but I can’t stop thinking about this palette. I’ll probably break down and getting during the November sale
The other edits tend to be too light, but this one looks like it might just work for me, i'm a medium-light olive and these seem a little more neutral/warm than other palettes :) Excited - this might be my only purchase this year for myself at christmas if it isn't sold out. Could you use the darker finishing powder as an eyeshadow?
i just got this from Sephora, you completely sold me on this palette! haha i like that they finally had darker shades as i found the previous palettes to be too light for my medium skin tone. What are your thoughts on the new ambient light volume 4 palette?
I didn't pick up that one b/c so many of the shades are part of their permanent line, and they seemed a little on the deeper side for my skin tone. xoxo
I received my BANC de sable and I am delighted....will that stop me buying this hourglass unlocked....absolutely not.....I’m up for it as soon as I can get my hands on it in Australia....
I’m picking mine up at Sephora tonight, and I can’t wait! I have a ton of Hourglass products, including several of the ambient pressed powders. However, this will be my first time trying out the bronzer and blush formulas. I’m super pale, so I’ll have to play around to get the second ambient powder to work (maybe as a light bronzer/contour?). I’m so up for the challenge though. It’s definitely gonna be makeup playtime tonight! 😍
LOVE my hourglass holiday palettes! Considering this one just because they’re limited edition shades, but I do wish they had the marbled look like the originals
kimbro if you don’t already know, they are releasing another holiday palette that includes the marbled products, but most if not all of the items included in that one are in the permanent line (and it also not vegan).
Hi Michele, thank you so much for this video. I have waited for this to be sure if I should order it. Have you ever tried the BECCA HYDRA-MIST SET AND REFRESH POWDER? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
I was like meh too expensive but after watching a bunch of videos and comparison to unlocked, i ordered it 😆 most bronzers are too warm for me and i loved unlocked one, but since u said the ghost has more neutral bronzer, i couldnt resist...💸💸💸
This palette is gorgeous - I haven't played with it yet, but I can't wait to use it! The only bad thing is that this palette is really for light - medium skin tones. They should really make 2 palettes and add one for darker skin tones; I don't understand why they don't make a darker palette. Take care, Ginny 😘😘😘
Id love to know how the powders hold up through the day for you. I love the way they look for a few hours then things seem to go haywire after that. Not sure what Im doing wrong. Thoughts?
I love Hourglass so much and have a ton of their full size products! I've never bought one of these palletes because I think I would be annoyed by the small pan size, but this one is very tempting! So beautiful!
It’s really beautiful!! And you’ll love the quality of you’re already a fan. It may be unnecessary if you already have most of their products but may be handy for traveling?
Are they all full sized or mini sized in the palette? I’m trying to determine if I get the palette would it be cheaper or worth it compared to just getting one or two mini pans
I loved it too!! I almost passed but glad I didn’t. I returned their last one because I already had two of the colors in my collection and didn’t like one color of the six pans. This year’s palette is new new and gorgeous.
My first Hourglass palette, been sitting on this since getting it the other day, thanks for inspiring me to bite the bullet and finally use it today! Love your reviews! Based on your review, I think I'll be saving the glowy blush and darker finishing powder for the summer.
This palette looks so beautiful. I’m tempted to get it for that highlighter alone. It’s stunning 😍 Also, really love the two blushes. And like you said the one has almost a highlight built in. Absolutely gorgeous. By far the prettiest hourglass palette to date.
I never tried any Hourglass products because i am not sure on how they will look on my combination textured skin, but this would be perfect to try them out. I probably have to wait for the Edit4, since i am quite pale and this one might be to dark for me (1w1 in Estee Lauder double wear)
Thanks for another great review. I love Hourglass as a brand and particularly the ambient light powders. I’ve been using Luminous Light since it first came out as the last step in my makeup routine to just buff and blur everything together. It is a total holy grail product for me.
I hadn’t been interested in this, but swatched it in store after your review. It is beautiful and I agree it is their best holiday palette release. Every color is useable.
This looks great on you, Michele! I was really hoping for a more deep skin friendly palette this year, however, based on the promo pics. I don’t know why they don’t just release a light-medium and a medium-deep palette at this point.
I just got this and overall I love it. Except the bronzer is too warm. I mix it with my Kevyn Aucoin sculpting powder to make it work. Also I was thrilled the highlight in this palette is in the newer metallic formula instead of the original strobing formula (which I hate, lol)
Oh yeah... that original strobing formula was so chalky and glittery on me. Did not like. But yes the new formula is amazing!! I think they're coming out with single pans of them!
The pallet looks beautiful on you. I’ve been eyeing this palette but wasn’t sure if it work on me. I’m going to get it now after watching your demo. I can always count on you to d a review when I’m on the fence about a makeup product. Have you heard when the ABH sultry palette is coming out for sale. It looks beautiful also.
Hi! I’ve only seen preview pics and I believe it’s coming out very soon but I’m not sure about an exact date. It does look beautiful but I’m not sure if I’m doing to get it. I feel like I’m drowning in eyeshadow at the moment!
I was really hoping they would come out with the three pan highlighter palette from last year again this year or come out with them in singles because I missed it. I’m not about to buy this whole palette for the one shade 😭
I was always too late in ordering the previous palettes so I jumped on this immediately when I got the email from Hourglass. I love this palette. Thank you for the swatches and demo. This palette looks so pretty on you.
I think the pallet is too light for my med/tan skin. I'll have to try it next time I visit Sephora. I do have last years pallet and its beautiful along with my radient light buffing powder. Looks beautiful on you !
I want this so bad but I really think it’s too light :( I’m not even that dark, medium usually and tan at most, I was excited because this palette steamed darker than the ones released years prior, but when I swatched it in stores the lighter blush wouldn’t show up on my skin and the bronzer could be my skin toned pressed powder 😢 so sad! I love hourglass, I have so many of their products and I’ve wanted a compact palette with everything in it but they never seam to work for me. Oh well, I’ll lust from afar.💔
Wendy Kuma - Do you think it will work in the winter? I am nc42 in winter and I love their powders, I am really sad that it’s not as dark as I thought. 😞
It looks so pretty but I don't believe it's deep enough for my complexion. I am going to find it and swatch it in store. This has been the only thing holiday wise that has called out to me.
I came onto TH-cam as I had a feeling you would upload this review today after seeing it on your last video yay 😍 this palette is really calling my name - the blushes look so pretty. I just don't think I could use the darker of the finishing powder. I wish companies would release palettes in two shade ranges to please everyone.
I just bought this palette today based on your review, and when I checked out your social media it turns out you're also associated with a lot of my favourite knitting designers/publications/dyers. Worlds collide!
@@TheMicheleWang I've been twice but it's a 7 hour drive from where I live in Ontario so I'm living vicariously through the Insta hashtag this year. Hope you had a great time!
Oh, I had already eliminated this palette because from the brand photos it did look darker than I prefer. After seeing this now I may have to rethink getting one. I have to go watch your review of the Natasha Denona palette now. I love your look today.
I have a friend who has the med/dark Becca palette and LOVES it. She also purchased this palette because she loved the blush shades so much and the highlighter because it’s brighter than the Becca.
Hi Michele, thanks for this review. I generally don't purchase these type of palettes as I tend to stick with the Charlotte Tilbury's highlighter and contour wands because they are easy but this one is so pretty! And I love they are cruelty free so maybe I will have to buy it! 💕💕
Those CT wands are sooo good!!! This palette has a few other things to offer like blush and finishing powder but if you’re not into those things then there’s no need! But i think it’s lovely if you do decide to try it. 😘😘
I am so pale that as is the case with Dim Light, Filtered Light would work as a peachy blush for me! Too many golden undertones for my skintone, possibly. It looks well on you, though!
Okay you've convinced me! I'll definitely be picking this up when it drops in the UK. I've been working all day and then came onto youtube and was so happy to see you'd just put up this video- I've been waiting to see what you think of it! Thank you for such for giving such an in-depth review Michele, it's so helpful! Hope you had a lovely birthday as well! xxx
Happy Weekend! I have the Edit 3 and really enjoy it! I just wish the pans were larger. Dim Light is my very favorite pressed powder. I carry it with me in my handbag. Now I want this one! Thanks for sharing Michele! 💗💕💗
AGREED! This palette is fantastic, and Hourglass did not disappoint as usual! I also got the Natasha Denona Safari palette, but I’m afraid to use it based on many of the reviews I’ve watched. Hoping mine is as good as yours and not a dud! Thanks Michele!
I love Hourglass. I have so many of their products and they are always such great quality and never disappointing. I really want this palette but it is expensive and I don't need a palette. But ahhh I want it :)
So glad you are reviewing this because I have really been wanting it! Edit: gah!! Halfway through this video and I had to pause so I could add it to my Sephora loves list! Damn you Michele 😂😂😘😘💕💕
The highlighter in this one is the same formula as the trio, but the color is different than those. It's warmer than the bronze one in the trio. I think if you're a fan of HG powders, this may be worth it for you. All the shades are new, and I think the blushes are really beautiful!
Dang, was really hoping the bronzer would be more golden (yellow). It looks warm (like bronzer should) on you, but I already have such a warm complexion, sometimes products that look warm on others look muddy/red/grey/brown (take ur pick, lol) on me. I prefer more of a yellow undertone bronzer, not orange, but not grey. Does anyone have any recommendations? I have the hourglass bronzer in Radiant Bronze Light, and it's a little too red toned for me. I've been wanting to pick up the Luminous Bronze Light, but it's so pricey, I haven't bee able to bite the bullet
that highlight is gorgeous! Why can't they come out with 2 versions for light and deep skin tones? All but one of these work for me but it is annoying that they put these out as universal every year. The last one was almost too light even for my skin tone.
Love the “we are here for science” comment in the video! 😀 I bought this palette as soon as it was listed in stock at Sephora. It’s beautiful. Thanks for the great video!
There’s too many good releases right now! My wallet is hurting lol. I have so many Hourglass products and have always resisted the holiday palettes. But I have to have this one since the shades are exclusive. And beautiful. And they are donating part of the proceeds to a great cause. Sold!!! 💕
Hi Michele, I ordered this as soon as it launched, I've missed out on all the previous palettes and was determined not to miss this one lol its beautiful and I love hourglass. I never regret purchasing anything from them, their powders are just beautiful. So excited to hear your thoughts :-)
So happy you reviewed this - the pan size was a concern and sadly the tones are too dark for me. Have to say, such beautiful colours if they work for you :-)
who else is watching in 2019 because of the holiday version that just came out?
I just placed my order! Its back in stock in the hourglass website. :)
@@annamariajohnson I grabbed it on beautylish!
ME me me
And me, !
Oh yeah! I got my hands on one and am so excited!
Beautiful, but looks too light for my complexion. Wished they made these palettes with complimentary colors for deeper skin tones.
Pam Jordan Amen!!! I have stopped buying certain brands ... what year is it? There is no good reason to ignore a market segment.
Ikr it's incredible this luxury brands overlooked us tan ladies.
Pam Jordan Ain’t that the truth! They would benefit so much more from releasing 2 or 3 different palettes at a time to suit a range of skin tones. I love Hourglass powders but this release was disappointing
I do wish they'd be more inclusive.
Sheccyd1 Sometimes I wonder how to reach their design and marketing team to let them know...if they care...
I just woke with my COFFEE and I love starting my morning with either YOU or Mel Thompson (love you girls so much on YT) xx Mar
Thanks Marla!!! xoxoxo 😘
It does look Beautiful! The peach blush with the bronzer gives that just back from a beachy vacation look and the highlight is just stunning!
I got this palette and i’m medium/dark and it works perfect on me. I use the lighter powder under my eyes and the darker one all over my face. I’m surprised seeing these comments saying it doesn’t work. It’s such a beautiful palette, i really hope next year they make different versions to cater every skin tone!

Awwww - that's so nice!! Thank you so much! And my mom is so different - she's always telling me I need more "color" on my face, to look healthier 😂
Oh I’m loving my palette haven’t stopped using it since it came in 😍 it’s just so damn beautiful and that highlighter is stunning 🤩 xxx
Thank you for reviewing this palette. You’re right. It much lighter and brighter than I expected. Beautiful ❤️

The other edits tend to be too light, but this one looks like it might just work for me, i'm a medium-light olive and these seem a little more neutral/warm than other palettes :) Excited - this might be my only purchase this year for myself at christmas if it isn't sold out.

The best review a have seen of this palette. Complete. Honest, great work
You're such a joy to watch! I could listen to you all day...

Sunfish OutOfWater ooh when?
Lisa Thomson it’s out now
Hi Michele, thank you so much for this video. I have waited for this to be sure if I should order it. Have you ever tried the BECCA HYDRA-MIST SET AND REFRESH POWDER? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
I haven't used that one, no. I've heard very mixed reviews on that one.
We’re here for science. Haha well said and well done:) thanks for the very helpful video.
I tend to buy this one, and you review it. Thank you so much Michelle 😘
P/s Can you review the new Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow palette?
Yes! It's on its way - review prob won't come until first week of Oct though.
I hope they release another blush palette this year. Their blushes are my FAVORITE 😍
I was like meh too expensive but after watching a bunch of videos and comparison to unlocked, i ordered it 😆 most bronzers are too warm for me and i loved unlocked one, but since u said the ghost has more neutral bronzer, i couldnt resist...💸💸💸
How does it compare to film star bronze and glow and pillow talk blush?
This palette is gorgeous - I haven't played with it yet, but I can't wait to use it! The only bad thing is that this palette is really for light - medium skin tones. They should really make 2 palettes and add one for darker skin tones; I don't understand why they don't make a darker palette. Take care, Ginny 😘😘😘
thanks Ginny! xoxo
The bronzer is quite orange on my taste. I think tom ford terra bronzer has the best color not too orange, not too cool, almost invisible
Александра Никитюк I LOVE my Tom Ford bronzer!
I swatched it yesterday and I agree that’s it too orange. Tom Ford bronzer terra is better indeed
Oh my..that palette is beautiful!
Id love to know how the powders hold up through the day for you. I love the way they look for a few hours then things seem to go haywire after that. Not sure what Im doing wrong. Thoughts?
I haven't had issues with their longevity. I have very dry skin. I think if you have oilier skin it would break down powders more quickly.
I love Hourglass so much and have a ton of their full size products! I've never bought one of these palletes because I think I would be annoyed by the small pan size, but this one is very tempting! So beautiful!
It’s really beautiful!! And you’ll love the quality of you’re already a fan. It may be unnecessary if you already have most of their products but may be handy for traveling?
Are they all full sized or mini sized in the palette? I’m trying to determine if I get the palette would it be cheaper or worth it compared to just getting one or two mini pans
Def not full sized. Each pan is 1.4 grams.
I loved it too!! I almost passed but glad I didn’t. I returned their last one because I already had two of the colors in my collection and didn’t like one color of the six pans. This year’s palette is new new and gorgeous.
Hi Michele, This is gorgeous. I received mine yesterday and can't wait to play with it. Gorgeous on you! Have a great weekend! Xo, Jenn
Thanks so much Jenn!!! Hope you're loving your palette!

Ahhhh I’m so on the fence about it!! It looks a little deep for me? But I’m not sure!!

Oh wow thank you for this video. I was looking for a review to see this on Asian skin tone and this helped so much. New subscriber!
I love the bronzer in this palette, and the blushes!!
Soooo excited hourglass is my favorite brand for doing bridal makeup! I also have a discount with them. Totally getting this!
Last year’s bronzer didn’t work for me. I’m eyeing the new one hard, but I’m waiting to see the other one
This looks great on you, Michele! I was really hoping for a more deep skin friendly palette this year, however, based on the promo pics. I don’t know why they don’t just release a light-medium and a medium-deep palette at this point.
I agree! I think it would serve them well to add a deeper palette!
I just got this and overall I love it. Except the bronzer is too warm. I mix it with my Kevyn Aucoin sculpting powder to make it work. Also I was thrilled the highlight in this palette is in the newer metallic formula instead of the original strobing formula (which I hate, lol)

Agreed, I bought it hoping it would be darker and it isn't. I'm also NC42.
Spectroscopy I’m an NC42/44 and I find this palette works for me. It doesn’t swatch very well but goes on with a brush pretty good.
Isabel I'm nc42 :'( I want to buy this palette soo baddly
I am a NC45 and it works beautifully for me. The test is if bronzer shows.... It's a beautiful pallette. You should go for it , @spectroscopy!
It looks so pretty but I don't believe it's deep enough for my complexion. I am going to find it and swatch it in store. This has been the only thing holiday wise that has called out to me.

My advice with ND shadows in general is to take it slow. They're so pigmented, and because of their creamy texture they take a bit to work out. xoxo
I love Hourglass. I have so many of their products and they are always such great quality and never disappointing. I really want this palette but it is expensive and I don't need a palette. But ahhh I want it :)
That's a yes for me dog!
So glad you are reviewing this because I have really been wanting it! Edit: gah!! Halfway through this video and I had to pause so I could add it to my Sephora loves list! Damn you Michele 😂😂😘😘💕💕

I have the trio highlighter and it reminds me so much of this palette
If I have the trio do I need the palette?
The highlighter in this one is the same formula as the trio, but the color is different than those. It's warmer than the bronze one in the trio. I think if you're a fan of HG powders, this may be worth it for you. All the shades are new, and I think the blushes are really beautiful!
The Hourglass looks awesome on you, especially the blush and highlighter.
I love this edit unlocked palette ! I am obsessed !!
And you’re right last years edit 3 palette, the bronzer is too warm for my skin tone
Dang, was really hoping the bronzer would be more golden (yellow). It looks warm (like bronzer should) on you, but I already have such a warm complexion, sometimes products that look warm on others look muddy/red/grey/brown (take ur pick, lol) on me. I prefer more of a yellow undertone bronzer, not orange, but not grey. Does anyone have any recommendations? I have the hourglass bronzer in Radiant Bronze Light, and it's a little too red toned for me. I've been wanting to pick up the Luminous Bronze Light, but it's so pricey, I haven't bee able to bite the bullet
thank you for this review, its one of the few holiday releases I was interested in picking up, I just hope it works with my skin tone!!
sadly, i went into Sephora today and this is to light for my skin!
Oh darn! Do you mind sharing your foundation shade... maybe in MAC? Very curious. Thx!
NC42 in MAC foundation. I watched this hourglass pallet in store and knew it would not work out for me....boo
that highlight is gorgeous! Why can't they come out with 2 versions for light and deep skin tones? All but one of these work for me but it is annoying that they put these out as universal every year. The last one was almost too light even for my skin tone.
I agree - they should really start thinking about doing two!
Getting this tomorrow! thank you!
Same feeling about Lose powder ! But pressed are amazing
Love the “we are here for science” comment in the video! 😀 I bought this palette as soon as it was listed in stock at Sephora. It’s beautiful. Thanks for the great video!
😂
Michelle... I love your channel! You give such great reviews and feedback! I look forward to watching more of your channel in the future. Thank you! 💕
There’s too many good releases right now! My wallet is hurting lol. I have so many Hourglass products and have always resisted the holiday palettes. But I have to have this one since the shades are exclusive. And beautiful. And they are donating part of the proceeds to a great cause. Sold!!! 💕
OKAY you convinced me. Just bought this in the sale! I love your reviews!
Love the humor in this review! I’m glad you noticed the difference in the appearance of the promo pic because that’s why I didn’t buy it originally
😃😃 thx for watching!
Hi Michele, I ordered this as soon as it launched, I've missed out on all the previous palettes and was determined not to miss this one lol its beautiful and I love hourglass. I never regret purchasing anything from them, their powders are just beautiful. So excited to hear your thoughts :-)
Just got this pallette and love it! I did my whole face with it. I used the blushes and darker ambient powder on my eyes.
Great video! Love anything hourglass.
What a beautiful palette!
Ah you look so bronze and glowing beautiful!!
It's so pretty!!!
Very thorough review. Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching!
So happy you reviewed this - the pan size was a concern and sadly the tones are too dark for me.
Have to say, such beautiful colours if they work for you :-)
Looking forward to swatching this in store to make sure it all will all work on my quite fair skin. Fingers crossed!🤞
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
OMG now I need this palette in my life👀💸
Yes, yes! I want this sooooo much. 💕
That bronzer is a great tone on you!!
Thanks Kay!
I’m here for science too, love it!❤️
Ha!!! 🤓🤓
It looks so natural
