HOURGLASS Ambient Light Correcting Primer in Mood Light | Review & Swatches

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

HOURGLASS, in their infinite wisdom, has expanded their extraordinary Ambient Light range of  products to include one seriously amazing light correcting primer in three gorgeous shades. HOURGLASS Ambient Light Correcting Primer is an innovative primer that blurs imperfections, smooths and evens the skin, and leaves it with a luminous ethereal glow. The oil-free formula is lightweight, and it glides across, and melts into, the skin effortlessly.

I have been using Mood Light, a soft, sheer pink, and am so happy with the results. The light pink evens skin-tone and brightens and refreshes the appearance of my complexion. It gives skin a gorgeous youthful glow, while extending the longevity of any foundation, tinted moisturizer or BB Cream. Think of it as a primer and luminizer in one, but the luminescence is refined rather than glittery. It is, in a word, amazing!
According to HOURGLASS,

A first of its kind collection of light correcting primers that blur, smooth and perfect the skin for a soft, subtle glow. The oil-free, weightless formulas neutralize, brighten and soften light as the first step in creating your perfect light.

Features:
• Light correcting pigments act as a first filter to neutralize, brighten and soften light, while blurring imperfections and smoothing skin's texture for flawless makeup application.
• Perfects the appearance of the complexion, creating a better starting point for makeup application as well as allowing it to be worn alone.
• Unique texture of the oil-free, weightless formula instantly absorbs into the skin and imparts a natural glow without feeling wet or greasy.
• Designed to further enhance the lighting effects of the Ambient® Lighting Collection by creating the first layer of light.
• Vegan

Directions: Apply pea-sized amount with fingertips to moisturized skin. Primer can be worn as a makeup base under foundation or alone for a subtle glow.
SHADE DESCRIPTIONS:

Dim Light: A natural beige that neutralizes light to create soft, dim lighting

I varied the heaviness of the swatch by both blending it in some areas, while leaving it built up in other areas in order to demonstrate how it melts into the skin effortlessly.
Overall Assessment: This is the only primer that I now use because it is that great! HOURGLASS has outdone themselves, yet again. A+

  2. Although I still don't seem to be able to find the right shade of Ambient Light powder for my skin, I love this idea! I hope they'll come out with travel size because I'd love to try a couple of them. I'm glad you liked your results with Mood Light because if I had to choose, I'd go with that one too!

  3. Remind me that I'm on a No Buy and that reading Lola's Secret Beauty blog will be the ruination of that. This is so up my alley.
