Today's blush review is going to be on Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Ethereal Glow.
Availability: Hourglass blushes retail at $40 for 4.2g (0.15 oz) at sephora.com, macys.com, bluemercury.com, jcpenney.com, nordstrom.com, spancenk.com, and their respective physical store locations or at hourglass.com.
Would I buy this again? I probably wouldn't get this shade again.
Notes: The color is described as a cool pink. I'd describe this as a blue-toned bubblegum pink. It's absolutely gorgeous and gives me this... just like a snow-kissed cheek that's frosty and glow-y in the most flattering kind of way. Moving on, the texture feels pretty silky and the color is buildable. The finish is satiny and provides quite a lovely glow. Definitely worth a look. I am going to be honest and put this out there, this looks like utter rubbish under artificial lightening unless you build it up; it also looks like rubbish if you don't blend it properly. In addition to that, this looks best on fair-medium skin-tones with a cool or neutral undertone; if you're yellower it'll be a ganguro type of look on you - if you're into that, cool, if not... avoid; if you're darker than that this has the potential to go ashy and that's not a cute look either. That said, this range of blushes offers beautiful colors that look flattering on everyone.
Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.
