Hourglass never fail to disappoint with their powders! I was stuck between volume II or III and whilst this one is slightly warmer for me, come summer I’ll be a goddess with this! Finely milled to stop it caking up and it still manages to control oil and set the makeup. A lot of the time I just wear this along as a touch of bronzer and it’s lovely because it looks more natural so it’s ideal for beginners. Whilst it’s expensive, it’ll last for ages!

Barely noticeable
I was looking for a subtle, not glittery highlighter. Can barely see this on my skin and I got the correct palette for my tone. Also note the pinky peach tones of the light palette are incorrectly shown in the image - in real life it leans towards a dull beige. No visible highlighting properties whatsoever

Nice but not neccessary
I have med-tan olive skin tone and I was recommended Vol 3 to use as a bronzer palette. The colors apply lighter and softer than they look in the pan. The first shade is a finishing powder that does not have a noticeable difference on my skin (honestly I'm not sure what it does), the middle is my bronzer, and the 3rd is the highlight. I have to be careful with the 3rd shade, if applied to heavy handed it is a glitter bomb. Since I bought it and I'm using it, I will keep it. However, did I need a bronzer palette this expensive? No.
It's nice but necessary.

Perfect
This brand makes the best powder. They are so finely milled and leave a light powder effect on the skin without looking too heavy. This colour selection is too dark for my regular skin tone, but works well to bronze up or to use in the summer to create a glowy look, it would also work well for dark skin tones but for everyday use, I prefer the lighter shade one.

Love this!
As a pale girl I wanted to be able to add a little more colour to my face when finishing off my makeup and this is perfect. When you have finished your makeup and it’s just lacking that something this is perfect. The shades are very subtle so don’t expect to much it just helps your look feel more polished and together.

Almost perfect
Love two out of the three shades in the lightest palette but the more orangey tone is too dark and warm for my uber fair skin (I can use dim light as a bronzer!) - I wish they'd create another version of this palette for the ultra fair skinned people. Despite shade grievances, these powders are undeniably beautiful and the 2 of them I do use I am very happy with.
