This Hourglass palette is pure perfection — the sh

I love using it for evening looks, it gives that flawless, luxury finish. The powders last a long time, both on the skin and in the pan. It creates a true “photoshop effect” in real life.

Natural makeup staple

This is my favorite palette to pick up when it’s a natural makeup day. I use the middle shade as a bronzer and eyeshadow base for a skin like finish that still has a little depth to it. The first and third shade I mix together and either use as a highlighter or eyeshadow topper for a subtle shimmer look. The powder is very soft but doesn’t sit on top of the skin when applied which can often result in a dry or powdery look. In my experience this works best with fluffy brushes that have long hairs. Anytime I want a look that’s slightly more intense I go in with a dense short haired brush. What I love most is that this product can be built up without becoming cakey. It’s doesn’t disappear after just a few hours like some other powders I’ve tried. I can wear it for anywhere from 5-8 hours and still have it look like I just applied it. I use Volume III more for a bronzer and Volume II as a natural highlighter. While Volume III works as a bronzer for me I can see the shade range being a problem for those with deeper skin that also want to use it in this way
