Anything ‘Hourglass’ and ‘Ambient’ gets my attention. Totally. So when the ‘first of its kind’ Hourglass Ambient Light Correcting Primer email hit my inbox, I was all YES YES YES! Seriously. I know that you want to know too! Dim Light, Luminous Light and Mood Light correcting primers? Come see! Find it HERE

So what do we have here? This is a collection of light correcting primers that neutralise, brighten and soften light for a refined-looking conplexion and a soft subtle glow. The stuff of dreams?

Hourglass Ambient Light Correcting Primer Shades & Swatches

So do you want to neutralise light, brighten light or soften light? Well I never thought about it before!!

• Dim Light – a natural beige that neutralises light to create soft, dim lighting with the perfect balance of warm & cool tones

• Luminous Light – a champagne pearl that brightens light to create a luminous candlelit glow

• Mood Light – a soft, sheer pink that softens light to create the most forgiving mood lighting

I don’t have mood light to show you unfortunately but you can see it HERE.

So what do you think? Seeing as I’m obsessed with highlighting and light in general with makeup, it kind of makes sense to start working on it in the very first layer. I am already a big fan of the BECCA Backlight Primer.

Dim Light has a soft warming effect on the skin and I think this would be amazing on summer evenings on holiday when you don’t really want to wear makeup but you need a warm, skin perfecting glow. It is forgiving and beautifying.

Being a luminosity girl, Luminous Light is the one for me and it is absolutely gorgeous. I like the paler look and it really does brigten up my skin without any other makeup.

It will give any matte foundation a well lit kick in the rear! Plus, it actually works really well without makeup, if you want to go naked but just need something to perk up the complexion. Both shades really work to blur pores and imperfections, and just make your skin look better without any effort at all. I am a fan!
