REVIEW: Travel-Size Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Diffused Light

~AG~

Bought Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Diffused Light to try out. It is great that it comes in a travel size version. It costs US$22 (S$30) for the travel size version. On Hourglass website, the travel size version is available in 4 shades: 

The full-sized version retails for US $46 (S$63) and is available in 6 shades. Since it takes a long time to finish using a compact powder, the travel size version is perfect for me. The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder is an universal powder that recreates the most flattering light sources such as moonlight or candlelight. Each powder captures, diffused and softens surrounding light with groundbreaking Photoluminescent technology. By filtering out harsh lights, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder conceal skin imperfections, pores and wrinkles. The powder is suitable for all skin tones, and can be worn day and night.

Diffused Light is a warm pale yellow which is suitable for Asian skin tones. It conceals redness and gives skin clarity like the soft morning light.  I use the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder to set my concealer. It is a good soft powder that does not make the skin looks cakey. In terms of brightening, it does have finely milled shimmers, but the shimmers are less than that of highlighters and blushes. Overall, Hourglass Powder is a good powder to have to create a natural radiance. I would not hesitate to try the other shades available.
