How interesting. I am wearing this powder for the first time today and am having a completely different experience. I’m normal with oily t zone and the powder is completely invisible on me and is controlling my oil all day. I’m very impressed. I used it all over my face over Dior B.B. cream. Just goes to show how different we all are. Loved the video!

Regarding packaging - according to the Hourglass demo, the cap is designed to cover the little holes in the sifter and lock it in place, and with the top screwed on, you're supposed to turn it over and tap, and it supposedly releases the perfect amount into the cap. Dip and swirl. It worked ok I suppose. . I liked the Marc Jacobs coconut powder better. Both in design and how it wore and looked. Now the new Hourglass brush? I LOVE IT(even if it's double ended) . thanks for the great review!
Ohh I've tried the turning over too - maybe I need to tap harder. I'll give that a shot next time. Thank you!! I've been testing out the Marc Jacobs too, and while I didn't think it was anything special at first, I'm realizing that it's just a nice, solid, powder. Sets, stays put and doesn't change the appearance of my makeup underneath!
Yes agree, the Marc Jacobs is a solid nice powder. I'm a bit in lust with how it smells despite hearing folks moan about it. Nothing like being transported to the beach while powdering up. lol. Have a great one and look forward to seeing more. You are not helping my budget tho. I've coveting too much! Ugh. :-D
I love how thorough and educated you are in your reviews!
Thanks Liz!
Great review ! I love using this powder. I’ve heard that you should turn the powder upside down and give it a few taps, and then turn it right side up and open the cap. It’s supposed to dispense an almost exact amount of powder that you will need.
Thanks for the review! Surprisingly, I really love the Hourglass powder, and I have oily/combo skin. The sheen gives my face a “natural” pretty glow. I don’t notice the cakiness around my nose throughout the day, but then again, I don’t generally wear foundation most days, just concealer.
I love the soft focus effect it has on your skin.
It’s perfect when you flip it upside down and tap lightly then turn it right side up. I think that’s exactly how it was meant to be used. I get a perfect amount each time and it keeps the bowl clean.
I love this powder. I have very very oily skin but very dry skin on cheeks, around mouth and forehead. It does not make my skin look dry or shiny.
Thank you for the thorough review. I really appreciate your honesty and how you are so on point and understand the product and your skin.
Thank you so much!! xoxo
I have normal to dry skin (no oil spots) and use it as a finishing powder. It's invisible on me, but gives me a beautiful finish. :)
I bought this powder and the Marc jacobs coconut powder and I prefer the Marc jacobs. I completely agree with your review. I have oily mature skin and didn’t like this powder. When I first applied it I thought it looked nice but after a couple of hours the slight shine this powder has became very evident and looked horrible and heavy when mixed with my oils. It didn’t set my makeup as well as other powders. The Marc jacobs doesn’t have a sheen and looks very natural. My absolute favourite loose powder at the moment is the cover fx matte setting powder. The cover fx normal setting powder is nice too. Thanks for. Great review.
I also agree with you about the hourglass finishing powders. They do the exact same thing to my skin as this powder did.
For a finishing powder it's mostly for the blurring effect that most people wear it. I've seen others skip the T zone for the "buffing" method with a finishing powder.
Yes, def skipping that t-zone!! I've never bothered with adding another layer of powder to my dry skin, but on my cheeks it may be ok! 😃
Jacqueline Nehama agree. I have normal to dry skin (no oily areas at all) and this powder works beautifully as a finishing/blurring powder on me.
This is a good point. I would like to know how "mandatory" powder is, esp for the undereye area.
According the the Hourglass site, you are to turn the container upside down (while closed of course!) upside down and tap lightly the bottom to dispense the correct amount of powder.
Great review. I generally prefer to use to minimal amount of stuff on my face for the result I want and for me usually an extra layer of anything isn't a good thing
What a perfect analogy! I love your detailed videos so much, thank you!
Your skin always looks so beautiful Michele!!
You look gorgeous! I don't use powder very often and do like you do with a clean powder brush to blend everything in.
I am SO with you on the Ambient Lighting ones too - they look thick and heavy on me almost immediately. Only an extremely thin layer works. I've had no such issues with the Guerlain Meteorites - so been sticking to those mostly . :-/
I just took advantage of a friend's 40% off at Guerlain and purchased two different Meteorites on your recommendation! Can't wait to try them!
Wow, I am so excited for you!!! So, I have two limited edition 'loose' powders (with the little pearls in the box - one is gold toned, and one is a cool light pink), plus a pressed version too. I get the impression that the loose pearls give off a finer powder and lead to a more polished look relative to the pressed version, but that could just be me! Would love to hear your thoughts if you got the pressed one too. And...small caveat. The Meteorites have tiny glowy particles in there - but they're not exactly glitter and you can only see them if holding a mirror just cm away, and right after application. Somehow though, they seem to blend in and become invisible soon after (as I wouldn't run around with a face full of glitter for sure!). But it's just something to be aware of. :-) They also have the most divine violet smell, which is a signature Guerlain scent - that and the very relaxing scent they use in their bronzers, which I for one love. Ok, to make a long story short - I think you'll love the Meteorites, and am super stoked for you!!
HA! Interesting! I use the Veil Powder on my cheek and jawline/chin area where I'm dry/normal. Then use a mattifying powder in the more oily center sections... simply because otherwise, the center of my face and forehead do melt away and break up makeup. Another trick is to spray a dewy setting spray on the sides of the face, where I need extra moisture. Then, spray a mattifying setting spray, where I'm oily, down the center of my face. Yeh... it's a little more work, but then I don't have to fidget with my makeup through the work day.
I love to do this finishing powder buffing lastly in my routne with the Sonia G brush like you but I use a very light Hourglass ambient light powder only with a very light layer and it makes all my products blush,bronze,highlight all meld together seamlessly.if done sensitively that doesn’t make the effect thick.....maybe give it a try...
Soooo totally concur-se! Wanted to love it but I'm oily and have lines so it did not work for me for any longer than the initial application. It caked over the few hours I wore it and emphasize-SIZE-d my pores which of course are largest in the oiliest T-Zone of danger ever!
i got this powder and i loveee love love it as a little veil around the perimeter and cheeks just to get things set .. but if i wanted to actually set my oil vat zone, it makes it almost like.. cakey like you were explaining it.. it just didn't look or feel natural in those areas.
Great in-depth fair and balanced review - Thank you 😊
I absolutely love your look today! Your skin looks so very pretty and flawless from my view. One of may favorite eye looks so far! I was considering the new Hourglass powder, but my skin is dry and I hate when you get a cakey build up. I was wondering if you would recommend the CT Flawless Finish powder in place of the Hourglass? Thanks again, I’m really enjoying your videos. Have a great weekend 😊🥂
Yvonne Cusmano Hi, I use Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Finish Powder and it exceptional. I do use others from time-to-time but CT's is my regular powder. I use it with the buffing technique and to tone down blush applied with too heavy a hand. I can't recommend it enough.
Tracey Evans Buhr Thank you Tracy😊. I am going to check it out!
Yvonne Cusmano I hope you like it as much as I do. 😀
What do you recommend for dry skin as a setting powder? Ty!
I totally agree with you that too much of the Ambient Lightning Powders emphasize peach fuzz. Once I applied ‘Radiant Light’ with the Tom Ford Bronzer brush...such a bad idea. Strategically placed on the high planes with the Wayne Goss Air Brush is much better.
I was contemplating if to get this powder or the new Marc Jacobs one but it appears as though neither are good for oily dark skin tones 😩
Your review is spot on. I’ve been wearing it for a couple of weeks and keep on finding it cakey, and I am combo skin. I keep on wondering if I’m too heavy handed with it
I think it's really tough to get just the right amount. I've been very light handed, but around my oilier parts, it always seems thick. I'm just going to use on my cheeks from now on!
It might be better to avoid the t zone with this powder, and just use it in the cheeks to blur things out
Excited to hear your thoughts about this review!💕😚💕
This review was extremely helpful. Thank you!
Love this. But I can’t afford those brushes at all. So wondering how it would be for me ! Loving your makeup today. Love your videos. It’s pretty.
I know exactly what you mean by it looking thick as I have seen that myself with the ambient lighting powders if I try to apply a couple layers.
Can you do a Kjaer Weis review. It's incredible stuff! The cream blush and lip tint are fantastic. Makes Dior and Chanel look cheap...
Thanks for your review! I actually have the same issue! My skin is the same as yours and I find it caked around my nose and forehead as well. I couldnt quite put it together until now, but you are absolutely right about this powder!
Oooh, I want it, I have oily skin!!! Great video! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💎
It does give you a lovely finish!
I wonder if you have the poudre universelle from chanel and what do you think about it and also if you have tried the sisley irisée one
Thank you for the review! If you had to choose between the Hourglass and the Koh gen do powder (I see that you have reviewed both), which one would you choose?
I think it looks beautiful
in France is not sold at sephora at the moment.But i will buy it as soon as possible.thanks for your good video.merci
If you're interested, I think you may be able to purchase through Beautylish - not sure though. Thank you!
I purchased it during the sale as well and I'm not wowed by it at all
I like your face powdered, very pretty
Great review on this powder. Is it possible due to the fineness of the powder, less is more? Sometimes I feel it’s hard to judge how much to use. I rarely use powder to set my foundation since it emphasizes my lines but I do like it to touch up my nose and chin during the day.
Thank you so much for your honest review! I just wanted to buy it, but now I think I will just take the hourglass stick foundation. What is your opinion about that? I have combo skin. I really like the ambient lighting palette and the blush from hourglass. By the way your skin looks absolutly gorgeous and I don´t see cakeyness or something but I know what you mean. 😘
Which is best for dry to.combo mature skin , this one or chanel or dior nod
Hi pretty lady could you please pick up the new La Mer Cushion Compact? I don’t know if it’s going to launch in USA. It looks wonderful. Xoxo 😘
I love the finish it gave my completed makeup!
You look stunning!
I have oily skin and I really dislike this powder. It doesn't set any of my go-to foundation combos(Double Wear/Fenty+La Mer Fluid/Tom Ford Traceless). My bronzer does NOT blend well on top. The shining effect also totally outweights the "bluring" effect on pores and textures so it's basically a "what can you even do successfully" situation.
Great review!!!!
Very informative. Thanks so much, Michele! I‘m still on the fence about buying it. I think I’ll pass. Aside from Clé de Peau - what‘s your favorite setting powder?
Here is a video on my favorite pressed powders: ua-cam.com/video/ETQf0WRqcQQ/v-deo.html
I just recently got into loose powders and I've been loving the Viseart Setting Powder: rstyle.me/n/c4gbm3cds6x and the Cover FX Perfect Setting Powder is really nice too! rstyle.me/n/c4gbnwcds6x
Love ur review ♥️♥️
Thank you for watching!
Really dislike the packaging even though it's beautiful. Can't use for setting (doesn't set anything), so I've been using it as a finishing powder. I'll keep it but won't repurchase. I have other better powders for my needs.
I agree.
What's the diference between set and finish? I'm genuinely asking
I love your lip color here! I see it’s a liquid type lip product.. how does it feel on your lips?
Thanks for the great review. I’m not going to purchase this powder... I have a sample of it and it’s ok- but I don’t think the best out there. I have very dry sensitive skin, also.
The lip lacquer is very comfortable - I don't like the matte finish ones, but this one is a metallic finish which is very comfortable!
I don’t care for matte lip
Products either.
This is a finishing powder??????
It looks airbrushed
