What the gurus are saying

The Ambient Lighting Powders earn consistent praise for their versatile, natural glow that works across multiple areas of the face without looking overdone. One reviewer loves them as a 2024 favorite, and another raves about layering the three shades for a warm, luminous look using them as highlighter, blush, or bronzer across cheekbones, lids, and brow bone. The main caveat: the glass palette and powders are fragile, reviewers report cracking and even finding a bug in an opened compact, so handle with care.

"I'm going to use a little bit of the dim light over my cheekbones and the incandescent light over the high area of my cheekbones. I actually really like that, it's a very natural look with neutrals on neutrals and a lot of luminescence in these products. I'm going to put a tad of the radiant light over my mobile lid and I always just tap in just for a little color and maybe a little bit of the incandescent light under my brow bone. I'm really liking that look, it's kind of neutrals on neutrals, not a lot of color, but just sort of a warm natural look."
