FAQs
How do I choose the right shade?
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder offers multiple shades, but the 'Ethereal Light' shade (Cool Translucent) is a good choice if you're fair-skinned, while others are better for other skin tones. When in doubt, it’s best to swatch the product in-store or order samples online.
Can I use this powder on its own?
Yes, you can, especially if you have naturally good skin. It can provide a blurring effect and a touch of radiance. However, for more coverage, use it over foundation and other base makeup.
How often should I reapply?
It depends on your skin type and the desired look. For normal to dry skin, you may not need to reapply throughout the day. If you have oily skin, you may need to reapply to control shine.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
The talc-free formula is generally suitable for sensitive skin. However, always do a patch test before applying it to your entire face if you have sensitive skin.
How do I clean my makeup brushes?
Wash your makeup brushes with brush cleaner or gentle soap and water regularly. Rinse thoroughly, reshape the brush head, and let it air dry completely before using it again.
What is the shelf life of this product?
The shelf life of the Ambient Lighting Powder is typically 24-36 months after opening. Check the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging.
Can I use this powder for baking?
While the powder can set makeup, it is not specifically designed for baking. It’s better to use a dedicated setting powder for that purpose.
Troubleshooting
Powder looks cakey or heavy.
Use a lighter hand when applying. Tap off excess powder from your brush before applying to your face. Ensure your skin is well-moisturized before application.
The glow isn't visible.
Ensure you're applying a sufficient amount. You can also try using it on the high points of your face (cheekbones, brow bone, bridge of the nose) as a subtle highlighter. Check the lighting; the effect is more pronounced in certain lights.
The powder is not blending well.
Make sure your brush is clean and appropriate for powder application. Use a circular motion to blend the powder into your skin. Ensure your underlying makeup is well blended before applying the powder.
