Details & care
What it is: A blush combining the custom effects of Ambient Lighting Powder with a spectrum of modern hues for multidimensional, soft-focus color.
Who it's for: Ideal for all skin types.
What it does: Unlike traditional blush, which tends to be flat, Ambient Lighting Blush uses Photoluminescent Technology to exhibit depth and dimension. The airy, lightweight powders contain optically transparent particles that amplify the colors to a multidimensional level, effectively reinventing the way you view blush. Its soft-focus technology filters out harsh light to help minimize the look of wrinkles, imperfections and neutralize discoloration.
How to use: Apply the blush with a foundation or blush brush. Swirl the entire compact with your brush to pick up the perfect balance of pigment and powder.

Natural-Looking with Blurring Effect - Perfect!
I purchased this blush in the Ethereal Glow color (I hate it when people write reviews and don't say which color they bought). Anyway, I have fair, cool-toned skin, and I think this the PERFECT color for me. It's buildable, blends easily, and lasts all day (even in Florida's intense heat and humidity). I love the blurring effect on my aging skin. The packaging is gorgeous and well-made, too, although there is not a lot of product inside (I just purchased my second one after only a few months, and some of the blushes I've used in the past, such as Bobbi Brown, literally lasted for years). But, I love this blush and will continue to use it.

Very disappointing
I had high hopes for the brand and the blusher, however I’m very disappointed. Not only have I paid £29 for a mini version. It’s very poorly pigmented so it takes a lot of product to notice it. Next time I’ll just go with the rare beauty highlighter as it seems to be cheaper and everyone recommendation that one in the first place. Save yourself the money and the time and go for another brand.

LOOOOOOOOOVE.........
Ethereal Glow is the best blush ever invented for fair complected woman. I feel like I've tried every blush under the sun, but nothing is as amazing as this color. It's a cool toned baby pink that gives you that lit from within glow. I'm not kidding when I say I would probably shed a tear if this color was ever discontinued. I have no need to ever try another blush for my completion. I can say with certainty this is my Holy Grail color blush. I am a Mac NC15. Or a Loreal True Match N2

Hourglass blush
This powder blush is wonderful. Highly pigmented, easily buildable. I bought Luminous flush and the coordinating Luminous powder. Love both products, not shimmery just a quiet natural glow to skin. I have mature skin, very fair, green eyes. Hourglass mineral veil primer and foundation are my new best friends.

Great Color
I love it! This blush is silkier than my regular Nars blush and the color is really nice with no sparkles.

Mood Exposure
Mood Exposure. A soft cool toned mauvey blush. Perfect for those who are starting to wear blush or don't know what to wear. It's a great everyday blush for fall or winter.

Perfect luminous flush
I am loving this new blush! The luminous flush is the perfect light pink with natural looking highlights. It looks great with my hazel eyes, fair skin, and brown hair. It's a very light product but is easily buildable.
