I’ve tended to shy away from luminous powders on a whole as I always seem to try some that are just too much; too much shimmer or sparkle. And I’m just not too sure they are all that necessary. However, this one is definitely not(it) too shimmery and not at all sparkly and totally wearable. HOURGLASS COSMETICS’ new Ambient Lighting Bronzer ($50) is like a regular bronzer/blush with just a kick of luminosity to it. Seriously! I really thought this was going to be too much for me but it wasn’t. 

It’s available in two shades and the one I tried, shown here, was the Luminous Bronze Light. It’s described as a medium tan fused with a champagne pearl and was a nice topper to my blush to give my cheeks a slight accent like along the top 1" or so part of the cheek. I also wore it as a shadow one day. 

So if you’ve ever been on the fence with this kind of product, now’s the time to get off!

And remember, a good quality brush is important to get the best out of a product and their Ambient Powder Brush ($35) is a good one to use to apply this finely milled powder with.

The other shade available is Radiant Bronze Light (a warm bronze fused with a golden beige powder. Ideal for medium/deep complexions).
