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.

There are colors only on top

There are colors only on top , the inside of the powder is actually a solid color different from what is shown on the top of it.

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.

Soft Color

I am trying this product for the first time and I mostly like it. The color is soft and subtle, does not shout. It would be for fair-to-medium skin only. On darker skin it would probably ghost. It is matte, not shiny, so very natural. I give it 4 instead of 5 stars because it is dusty. I use a soft bristled applicator brush and the product flies all over the place. It lands half on my face and half on the front of my clothes and the counter and mirror. If it clung better to my skin, I would be happier because it feels like I am wasting half of it in the air. I have tried applying with a sponge and it did not spread as well. The sponge worked better to soften the edges once it was applied. I am debating whether I would buy again, and probably I would because the color is very nice.

A High-Quality Blush in a Pretty Mauve

I bought Mood Exposure, because I needed a mauve blush for my aging, cool-toned fair skin. I have silver hair and blue eyes. This blush is buildable, blends easily, and blurs imperfections. It is silky/luminous without being shimmery, bringing light to the face without looking "made up." The color is very subtle. I don't think it would show up on darker skin tones, but for me it has become an almost everyday basic. I tend to prefer cream blushes, but this powder formulation brushes on with no dry look or caking. Recommended.

Get the ambient lighting palette instead

I bought this and the ambient lighting trio from hourglass. Loved the trio... worth every penny. This blush didn't show up as anything special on top of the trio. On just foundation, it does show up, blends very smoothly, is very finely milled and highly pigmented, but I didn't feel that it was worth keeping. I kept the trio and returned this. Other thing to know is that just a dab of this is plenty. Even when I thought I was putting it on lightly, too much was going on. Because I am doing my own wedding makeup, I didn't want to take the chance of making an "oops" mess of heavy handed blush.

Creates a beautiful glow

love the shade and the slight glow it creates, subtle but so pretty. I am blonde with blue eyes and Luminous Flush looks great on my skin tone

Ethereal glow was a no-show

I purchased this in ethereal glow and I was really hoping this would work out. I’ve been on the hunt for a replacement for my Laura Gellar ethereal glow blush and unfortunately it’s not this. For reference, I am paler than pale. Paper white. Everything shows up on me. Usually 10 fold. Though the product was beautifully milled and easy to apply, I found that the color simply did not show up on me. Only when I dug my brush into the product could I see a touch of pink. Though it did look pretty, it just didn’t do it enough for me.
