Ambient Lighting Finishing Powder
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Finishing Powder is a finely milled powder that Tina Yong recommends for under-eye use to avoid cakey buildup, and also for brightening the chin and softening smile lines. Celebrity makeup artist Ali Andreea uses it gently with a puff to avoid lifting foundation. The quotes focus on application technique rather than wear time or shade range, so performance claims are limited.
