Ambient Lighting Blush
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush is a baked formula that gives a luminous, soft-focus glow — professional makeup artist Nikki La Rose calls it "the best baked blushes to pick up" and says they work for all skin types and ages. The shade Ethereal Glow is a very light baby pink that one creator finds too pale to wear alone but loves as a topper to soften other blushes, while the formula builds easily and lasts all day. At $48, several creators acknowledge the high price but insist the versatile, glowy finish is worth the splurge.
