Well done Gemma, the most comprehensive review I’ve seen on these products!
My Ghost palette is well loved (use it 5 of 7 days), but you can't see I've used it 😳. There's hardly any product gone 🤷♀️. So, NO no expensive purchase this year.
Great review and you look absolutly stunning, Gemma. The green top, your makeup....perfection!
Love, hugs and kisses 😘
My ghost palette almost looks like it's not been used either! Best make up investment I ever made!
@@konstantinaakrivou67 I absolutely agree! But if you read some comments here, there are people who have hit pan 😳. No idea how that's possible 🤷♀️.
Wish you a great day, Konstantina! Do you live in Geeece? I'm from Germany. 😘
@@sabsa70 I really can't imagine how much product you must use to hit the pan! Specially with the limitation of social activities due to corona virus! I confess I do not use make up every single day because since March I have been working from home, but still! I originally come from Greece but I live in the Netherlands. It's a pity we will probably miss the notorious German Christmas Markets this year :( we were so looking forward to it!
Pleaaaase review the Wayne Goss blush 😊 I really need a blush and I’m hesitating between Hourglass or Wayne...
Gemma, great video as always. Very informative and honest. You are stunning in that Olive Green top btw.
I was struggling about which Palette from Hourglass I should buy (second hand). I watched a lot of videos today and this one was the most helpful for me, thank you so much! I now know that I will buy the two Sculptured Palettes.
I've been wondering about this very thing! I LOVE the Ghost palette and I have used it almost every day for the past 10 months. Yes, that's what I said! I'm starting to hit pan on 3 and am amazed how long these lasts!
I loved that the mini this year had everything - blush, bronzer, finishing and highlighter. Its the perfect size to travel with or to take in one's purse. I have the larger 6 pan palates from previous years and they are fine to use at home but I find they are a bit too big to take along.
I have the mini sculpture palette coming in the mail tomorrow....can't wait to play with it 😀 Decided to pass on the larger one as I have the Ghost one from last year, which I love and I have the Mood Exposure blush. I love the Hourglass products.... so beautiful 😍 💕
So not about hourglass but I wanted to say thank you. You were on the money about the new IT cosmetics foundation. I did get the cool shade rather than the neutral, but in the light rather than fair as I have always done before. The change of tone and shade did it. I now have, after years of looking, an easy to apply, never fail foundation that matches my skin. I do not look grey when wearing it. It does not go into your pores or sit in lines. It’s foolproof to put on. 👍 THANK YOU for responding to my questions.
Thank you so much for this review! I did already buy the sculpture mini and was debating about the full sculpture palette but it just looks SO PRETTY I think I must make the splurge! Your comparison proved to me they are different enough to warrant buying both.😍
Thank you so much for the time put into this video! 😊👍
I was waiting for your review but couldn’t wait and bought the large pallet last week, it is absolutely gorgeous 🥰 thank you for the swatches by the way, really helpful xx
Jemma. Thank you. Just purchased both. The colors look great on you.
Thank you for this in-depth swatch comparisons of the palettes especially the bronzers. Very informative!
Thank you Gemma a great review.!. 🧡💯🤎
Will you please review Wayne Goss new blush highlight palettes? We have the same skin shade and I trust your opinion. I love Wayne but these are pretty pricey.
Every year I save for the hourglass Christmas collection, I bought all of them inc lipstick and literally haven’t worn anything else in the last 5 weeks 🤣 I even want a back up of the sculpture quad as it’s STUNNING!!!!! I buy the kits each year and they last me all year long.
I love the Ghost 6 pan. I even bought a backup. I mix that bronzer with Dim light to lighten it up. Love & use 100%. But....
I’m very fair & cool and will pass on this year’s palettes. Too dark, too warm for my liking. Likely to pull orange on me. I got the 4 pan Ghost cheek palette which was an orange toned mistake for me. One pink blush - the rest pull really orange. I learned from that mistake. I think I will pass on this year’s Hourglass palettes.
Thank you for the tip on mixing the bronzer with dim light. I am quite fair and found the bronzer a touch dark and dim light a little dark used alone as a finishing powder. Mixed together they are perfect. I also mix the dim light and diffused light together.
Love the green top your wearing! Compliments your hair and eye color
Thanks Gemma,the two palet,i did not see the color difference coming
Being officially and hourglass junkie, my first thought to this videos was " Oh dear, here we go again! Another palette that I'm going to dream about until I finally buy it"! But, watching this video I realized that the sculpture palette would be too warm for my pale neutral to cool skin tone and I can go to bed tonight without thinking of how to budget for this until next month! Besides, I have been using my Ghost palette the whole year and the pans look almost untouched! Thank you Gemma, that was very informative as always!
I'm glad to have saved you some pennies Konstantina. xxx
I want the mini sculpture looks so nice and I've only ever tried the hourglass veil primer which is amazing
Never mind the palettes. You’re dazzling me with that new bling 💍💍💍💍
So regret not buying the ghost palette. Sculpture is gorgeous and likely better for more people, but looks too dark for me. Thanks for the comparison!
You look gorgeous 😍 Your makeup looks flawless!!!
Thank you for doing a detailed review I have the large ghost pallet and missed out on the blush one! I will be purchasing both of these! I use the highlighters and blushes for eyeshadow.
Such a good video. I bought the ghost pallet last year on your recommendation and I love it so much! I do like the sculpture mini pallet
Yesss! Was so glad to see this video pop up! I just can’t decide which of the larger pallets to get?! Green top looks great Gem! 👍🏼👍🏼
Great review Gemma, as always! I love how glowing your skin looks, especially on your forehead. Could you please share what product did you use? Xx
All products are listed in the description box Anna xxx
Thank you, I have been wondering the very question.
I want the mini, but I don't know. I'm more of a cool tone and the bronzer may be too warm.
Thank you for this video Gemma. I’m a bit of a makeup magpie and was drawn to the Sculpture Mini palette, however, I do have the 2018 Unlocked palette so you’ve saved me some money! Thank you x
I was really hoping for this video! Thank you so much. We are shade twins, so it’s really helpful x
I have the last year and love it this year I bought the mini and it's great although the browser is a little bit warmer
Bronzer
I have had a recent splurge on HG, last week Luminous flush blush and this week Diffused light finishing powder (even though I just love MAC msf natural as a finishing powder, I just had to see what the hype was with the HG). I was torn between dim light and diffused light, I am very similar skin tone to you. The sales lady did try and convince me to buy a palette but I was highly focused and manage to leave with my mission of owning a HG finishing powder! I now have a HG bronzer, powder and blush in full sizes and colours I love and am finally happy. I will not sway to that part of Sephora again.....not for a while anyway!!
Your top looks lovely on you!
Hi Gemma,
I purchased the Ghost palette after seeing a video you did on how to wear it. Will you be doing a similar video for the new Sculpture palette showing how you can use all the shades?
Tysm! X
I’m the same age as your mom, what does she think of these palettes? Is it too shimmery for mature skin? I’ve been debating on purchasing one of them, but hate to spend the money if it’s not suitable for my age group. Thanks for all your input!! ❤️
My mum loves them especially if she needs a bit more coverage and wants to make her foundation look more like skin xxx
@@PamperedWolf oh that’s wonderful! Thank you! ❤️
Hi Gemma thanks for swatching them out as many of the shades won't suit me tbh. I'm super fair and very cool toned - think Scottish extremely white with a strawberry tinge to my blonde hair (what Billy Connelly referred to as blue white lol). Many of the shades are too warm/bright for me. I think I'll get a finishing powder and one blush in mini sizes to try instead. I think it's good value if you'll use all the shades, but not just for a couple. I like mauve and rose toned blushes - peach/orange doesn't look good on me at all. Bronzers are a struggle anyway as I need something with a very cool or pink base eg Bobbi Brown Antigua. Best wishes.
Glad to have helped xxx
I dropped a hint for the large palette for my bday next month. My hubby is usually relieved to have an idea what I want, so hopefully it shows up.
Good Job! I love how thorough you are!
I haven’t watched the video yet but my first thought was...’What does NEED have to do with it!’ You know we’re going to want both, the collection has to be complete. We just have to find a sale.....
Was thinking same thing... do I need both? Not watched video yet, let’s see! I will come back when Gemmas told me everything I need to know! 😊
I bought last year's - then returned it as it was way too warm, and on me, had little to no pigment. Definitely don't need another dud!
Incredibly thorough review, Gemma! I really appreciate your 😓 hard work! And now I going 🛍 shopping!
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving 🍗
Great video, thank you! Sooo glad I watched before spending £81 on a palette that’s too warm for my pale skin tone - I’ll stick to the Ghost palette :)
Gemma you look stunning! ♥️ could you do a tutorial using the Natasha Dennis Glam palace 🎊💄😊
Hey Gemma :-)) Yes very beautiful all of them. I have a little travel one in Dim Light for now ha ha ha ha oxoxoxo
What is the difference between a finishing powder and a setting powder? Not sure what I do with it or if I would use it!
the purpose of a finishing powder I think is to be used as a last step in makeup to blend all the products together really seamlessly and to bring back the glow that you may have lost because of setting powder x
I have zero expensive palettes of anything BUT I have very seriously been sitting on the fence trying to decide to buy one of these or not!! Oh Lord, I just can’t make up my mind. But also, Christmas IS COMING UP...... right??!!!!! LOLOLOLOL my family would think I have lost my mind. Hahaha.
Loves to All!

Thanks for the thorough video. I just bought my first Hourglass product ever after watching (the quad).
Oh yasss I order both this year 2021 the sculpture mini and full size
Love the mini. While the bronzer shade is to dark for my face, it looks great on my eyes! I don't own Ghost but I do have many full sizes of some older/newer of ambient lighting, bronzers and blushes. I ADORE Hourglass. Partly your fault, Gemma and @ellelearyartistry. :) Stay safe and well.
I wonder if the bronzer was too deep for you whether mixing it with a finishing powder would work 🤔
That's a good point freya. Usually I like to buff over the bronzer with some finishing powder to blend it easily. xxx
I bought Ghost palettes last year and love them. I want the mini sculpture palette this year. Your eyes look good today. Do you use eyeshadow primer and which do you recommend please?
Please please please do a tutorial on the Ambient Sculpture mini palette!!! I bought it and am having trouble on how to use it best. Thank you SOO much!!! :-)
Well, Gemma, I have no idea how you've managed still haven't hit pan in your Ghost pallette... but I have bought mine a year ago, used it every day and fist the bronzer was finished, then one of the blushes and so on. So, now I have the bright blush over, highlighter and a little bit of powders. I am thinking of buying a separate Hourglass bronzer because this is a product I used the most and for me Hourglass bronzers are the best. I just don't know which of Ambient Bronzers will be better for me (my skin tone is similar to yours). There are two for light skin tones: Nude one and Light one. Do you happen to know which one is better for fair skin tone? Maybe you swatched them in the store.. Thanks in advance and greetings from the Netherlands :)
I think it'll tell you on the website Olga xxx
To quote Queen... I want it all.. and I want it now! 🎶🎶🎶
Haha....so sorry for your bank balance Allison 😉 xxx
Hi there I have a question. If your using a foundation you can’t use a tinted spf?
You can use whatever spf you like with a foundation xx
Pampered Wolf thankyou
It pains me that each pan is only something daft like 1.7g each - they’re so beautiful though! Not sure if it’s the metallic but the sculpture palette looks smaller 😅
1,4g each!!!!!! Like eyeshadow! That is insane!
Yes they’re shockingly small when you see them in person, despite being aware they’re tiny beforehand. However, they last foreverrrrrr, and way better than buying all full sizes you’ll likely never hit pan on
Very helpful, thank you!
Thanks for this analysis! It does help a great deal.
I’ve hit pan in the blusher ghost pallett. Time for a new one. ❤️
I'd rather buy the Denona Glam palette based on your eyes in this video. But, maybe you should remind me of the purpose of a strobe powder....
Strobe powders are like highlighters xxx
@@PamperedWolf Oh, Gemma, I just want to hug you 💖💕💗💞💖 because you are phenomenal. Thank you for educating me, even though I'm poorer now. 🤷♀️ xxx
I got the 2019 one ,thanks to you bugging it up last year and of coarse u was right I loved it ,but I dont think I need the 2020 one I haven't hit pan on any yet and it's what 12 months old ??? Love it love hourglass xx
Gemma, I’m your skin double, which bronzer is better? The mini or the full?
Have you tried Charlotte Tilbury or Tom Ford bronzers? And how do these bronzers compare to the Maybelline bronzer you recommended in previous videos? I go back and forth between adding to my HG collection, branching out to other high end brands, or trying the drugstore recommendations you’ve made.
I tried the CT bronzers but they ran way too yellow or orange for me xxx
Of course I'm going to watch your vid, regardless of product. I'm supporting you, not HourGlass.
As much as I love their powders (they're gorgeous), I'm boycotting them.
Should they become an inclusive brand, I'll definitely be buying from them. Unfortunately, they don't cater for darker skin tones, which I find offensive.
This is just how I feel and I totally understand why people buy from HG. I'm not shaming anyone.
I know everyone will love and enjoy this palette. 💗🌸🌸💗
@Stephanie Williamson I pray I didn't come across negative. xxx
@Stephanie Williamson thank you, 🙏
Thank you for supporting me Chrissy. I do agree that with some of their products the shades are limited for people of colour, but typically that's only the foundation. All other products that I've seen are very inclusive, this product included. I feel like hourglass are venturing into the 21st century at last xxx
@@PamperedWolf
I'm glad HG has, at least, darkened some of their shades. Hopefully, this trend will continue. However two of my friends are women of colour, and, apart from a very deep blush (which only 1 friend can wear) everything else is unwearable. Their reactions actually made me cry.
Gemma, if you uploaded a vid about potatoes, I would support you! xxx
@@chrissymoss514 that’s so sad to hear Chrissy. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I didn’t think it was as bad as it obviously is. Xxx
What is the shelf life of the palettes? How long are they usable once you use them?
Vickie S Im going to guess 50 years
The packaging says 12 months...but I don't know anyone that would throw them away after that time...I wouldn't for sure. I keep my brushes clean though xxx
@@PamperedWolf thank you! ❤️
I am a total complete and utter Hourglass junkie and it's your fault. If anyone knows of a support group can you please let me know.
Off to buy my newest edition. I thank you Jemma and so does my credit card.😘
Me too with the Hourglass junkies! I just have to have all of them!🥰💕 love all of the videos and please keep them coming.
Off topic - but what is the paint name and color of your walls? I’ve been searching for a gray just like that.
Thankkk u its really helpful
I wanted last’s years so bad but waited too long!
It’s available on EBay.
I got it unused on depop for around £50. It's worth checking depop and eBay x
Soooo... I bought both Hourglass 2020 palettes, and have just now hunted down the large Ghost Palette too, because “Gemma made me do it”. 🤣❤️😘
What is your most favourite hourglass face palette ever?
Thank you❤️
I want the Ghost palette , but I can´t get it anymore ;(
Hi Gemma, I loved this video and very helpful. Which brush would you recommend for these palettes from Hourglass?
I tend to use a blush brush xxxx
@@PamperedWolf Hi Gemma, which of the Zoeva brushes would be best for this, please? (or if there's another brand with a similar priced better brush!) Did you use the same brush for the whole palette? Thanks xx
So in my last comment I said I didn’t need any HG palettes.... well I lied, I didn’t need the new one but I did need the ghost palette, and in the deep dark corners of the Internet there were three palettes available in Thailand, now there are two...! Gemma please NO MORE Hourglass videos for a while :)
Love it by the way, but the challenge is finding the right brush now to fit in the palette and still be fluffy. I thought the IT cosmetic double ended brush would be perfect but I think it’s too dense, this palette needs a very light hand!! My feeling is the good old RT blush brush may be the one!
Great video! I don't think the ghost palette is available anymore, if it is, can you send me the link? Thank you!
It's not, it was a limited edition for 2019. But you might be able to find it on eBay or Depop!
I have the ghost edit and I've hit pan on the highlight (almost fell over in shock when that happened) and I've got a good dip in the middle shade that I mix with the highlight. I've recently started using the bronzer mixed with the finishing powder above it but don't use the blushes. I do have mood exposure in a single though and I agree that blush is stunning...I also bought the ambient lighting palette to replace the ghost when I pan that top row. I'm undecided on the new one but it's likely a bit dark for me and I already have the blush 🤔
I have light to medium neutral skin tone so would either of the sculpture palette work?
Both would work xxx
Can you do a video on the ordinary vs niod. I know you like both but there price point is a Hugh amount
It would be an unfair review as NIOD is far more advanced but a lot more expensive too xxx
What about a complete niod video
Because they last so long, is there any issue with use by dates? X
I've always kept my brushes very clean so not had an issue xxx
love you babe xoxoxo
Do I NEED these palettes? Since when is it ever about what I NEED? The answer, of course, is no. What I need: more time, more money, and Makeup By Mario eye palettes😉
Wowza, I CANNOT afford these at all! Lol 🤦🏼♀️
Thank you Joanne. I was feeling a bit alone here lol. These are stunning, however in this weird 2020 economy I'm doing my best to keep the lights on and a roof over our heads. Maybe next year!
@@kristineb492 girl, I hear that!
I'll pass! Thanks 👍
What happening with your skin?
You do not need any of those palettes which are insane overpriced indeed
