Sephora explains the Ambient Lighting Powders wonderfully...

What it does:
Create your perfect light. Ambient Lighting Powder is a groundbreaking collection of finishing powders that capture, diffuse, and soften the way light reflects on your skin. Unlike traditional powders, which merely cloak imperfections, Ambient Lighting Powder utilizes photoluminescent technology to filter out harsh light and refine the appearance of the complexion. The powders deliver a multidimensional luminescence to every skintone, making it appear softer, younger, and lit-from-within. The finishing powders enhance skin in any type of light, including flash photography. With six universal shades available, you can create your desired effect—not unlike having a personal lighting technician. Ambient is free of talc, gluten, fragrance, and nanoparticles. It is available in six universally flattering shades from least pearl to most pearl.

Ethereal Light: A sheer, cool tone that eliminates shine and mimics a moonlit glow—even in broad daylight.
Diffused Light: A soft, warm, pale yellow that reduces redness, eliminates shine, and gives skin clarity. 
Dim Light: A neutral soft beige that provides a perfect balance of warm and cool tones to blur imperfections. 
Mood Light: A soft, sheer lavender pink that mimics the softest, most forgiving light and brightens the complexion. 
Luminous Light: A champagne pearl that creates a soft, incandescent candlelit glow—day or night. 
Radiant Light: A sun-kissed golden beige that enhances the overall complexion with believable, subtle warmth. 


I love using the Diffused Light to set my makeup and I'm learning that the Luminous Light is an absolutely stunning highlight!

Words from Sephora about the Ambient Lighting Blushes...

What it is:
A groundbreaking hybrid that combines the customized lighting effects of Ambient Lighting Powder with a spectrum of breathtakingly modern hues for seamless, soft-focus, and multidimensional color. 

What it does:
Discover a new way to blush. Hourglass has fused Ambient Lighting Powder, the cutting-edge collection of finishing powders, with an array of vivid cheek colors, creating a hybrid product that is unique, contemporary, and revolutionary. Unlike traditional blush, which tends to be flat, Ambient Lighting Blush uses Photoluminescent Technology to exhibit depth and dimension. The airy, lightweight powders contain optically transparent particles that amplify the colors to a multidimensional level—effectively reinventing the way you view blush. 

Each hand-made blush is formulated using an advanced miscelare technique—which means “to mix” in Italian—creating the perfect balance of pigment and powder, and no two look alike. The six shades ranging from soft coral to cool pink are a wardrobe of captivating accent lights for cheeks. They deliver a radiant, natural finish and offer buildable color to imbue the entire complexion with an otherworldly glow. 


The blushes blend like an absolute dream and give off a gorgeous 'lit from within' glow. Absolutely can not get enough!!

Please go out and pick up one (or all) of these guys. I know I will be picking up more sometime in the hopefully not too distant future.
