Ambient Lighting Bronzer
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer gives a luminous, non-glittery finish that several call a "halo effect of bronze" and perfect for everyday wear. Professional makeup artist Jaclyn Hill notes it has shimmer but finds it subtle and flattering even for those who avoid shimmery bronzers. It's lightweight, buildable, and doubles as a quick eyeshadow, though no downsides are mentioned.
