All 6 takes from Allie Glines

I Tried The READERS' CHOICE WINNERS... Allure 2023

"The Hourglass blushes won an award, these are so good. Every time I do a video asking you guys what blush you love, I feel like this is always in the lineup. This is the shade euphoric Fusion, I'm just going to pop a little bit of that on the apples of the cheeks."

Testing Rare Beauty's NEW Blush...

"The Hourglass one looks basically matte next to these other blushes. It's basically matte in comparison to those other blushes after swatching all the shades. [...] Because this is a powder formula I would recommend setting it with powder that's not only going to ensure a nice blend but it's also going to help you not overdo the pigment when it comes to this formula which is key."

The BEST Beauty Products from October 2024!!!

"I got to finally try out this Hourglass Unreal Liquid Blush from the AER award [...] videos. This is the shade Scene I'm wearing this all over the face and I love this. A tiny bit goes a very very long way but it just gives the most beautiful extremely natural color to the skin. A little goes a long way, these are pretty pigmented but I just do like one drop, barely one drop and it's enough to really get a saturation of color on my cheeks. I'm loving these. [...] This color Scene is perfection."

My Stress-Free Sephora Savings Guide! 🤗🛍️

"I've been loving this, it's so beautiful. The packaging is really nice, you just tip it over and press a little button on top and it drops out a tiny bit and honestly that's all you need for both cheeks. A little goes a very very long way. I really love this color, it's just the perfect soft pink and I love that it's a little bit more sheer so it gives you a watercolor effect which is the type of vibe that I personally look for when it comes to a blush."

I Tried The HIGH-END 2024 Winners 😱 Makeup, Skin & Body!!

"In the best splurge category, the new Hourglass Unreal liquid blushes won an award. I tried the shade Scene and [...] the tiniest bit went a long way. It's a pretty color, [...] very watercolor-esque, and I love the soft color it gave. So pretty."

"So again, I feel like I get more of a soft, diffused glow with these. I do feel it's significantly less than I get with the bronzer. I wish the bronzer was the exact same as this. I know they're technically both ambient lighting powders, but you can even see here when I swatch that bronzer, there's more reflection in it than there is in the blush. The blushes are just gorgeous."

"For a little bit of blush I'm just going to use The Hourglass. I've been trying to finish this compact for like two years now because I have one other one and they seem to last forever. I have one other one that I got for the holidays and I've been trying to finish these, but [...] I guess I must just not use enough because it's taking forever."
