These are not meant to be setting powders (especially for oily skin). They’re meant to be finishing powders, meaning they give different finishes to the skin after setting, such as smoothing, giving a glow and warming up the face. They’re meant to mimic different light. This is how the company trained me in these products. I’m by no means saying how you use them is wrong!! Just saying what Hourglass taught me over the years and how to use their products

I love how well you explained and demonstrated this!! ❤️

So so helpful!!! We all but this stuff and love it, but then don’t really know how to use it correctly!! At least that’s me!! 57 and still learn something everyday about using makeup!! Thank you

I bought the minis because of your recommendation and I love love them.. thank you for the tutorial ... literally your smiley face and hourglass powder .... HIGHLIGHT of my day. ❤️

Elle this was so needed for me! I’ve been overusing this under my eyes. Today I tried setting with the beauty blender and wow what a difference! Thank you so much!!! Yes I watched this twice because I was driving home yesterday and couldn’t really focus on your techniques. Love ya girlie 💕

Yay! Love Hourglass, especially the powders. Can’t wait to see your concealer review! Great video, thanks for the review of ways to use these, Elle! ❤️❤️❤️

THANK YOU for making these kinds of videos. This is the kind of content that I need from KZread!

Finally, a thorough and EXCELLENT understanding of the product. Great review!

I recently painted my bathroom a a light brown with a pink tint..... I look so good in that bathroom... finally figured out it was the mixture of the paint color & lighting - it’s hourglass powder on my walls... ☹️

I love HourGlass powders and blushes. Thanks for giving such great tips to maximize their use!

Thank you so much for showing us how to use the different powders! I never would have thought to use a beauty blender with the powder. Brilliant!

I followed your technique this morning - what a difference these new steps made! My skin looks absolutely flawless! Thank you so much for sharing.🤗

I loved this! Very useful & I loved that you did a tutorial for a product that has been around for a while that’s still great instead of opting for what’s new and trendy.

I’m getting my ambient powders back out! This was a great idea on how to use them. Thank u for your tip! 👏🏻

This is info I didn’t know I needed. 😆 Gonna try some new things with my Hourglass powder. Thanks Elle!! 🤗

Thank you for this video!! I have oily skin and find myself looking lifeless after setting with my matte powders. I’ve been looking for a way to bring some life back into my skin after setting and this is it! Side note- I think you look soo much like Katherine Heigl! 😍

Thank you, Elle! This is going into my saved videos so that at the end of the week, when I do most of my online shopping I can come back to it and just click the link and FINALLY purchase the correct powder and feel confident about it. The tip with the damp beauty blender was something I had never thought of when it comes to using powder to set my makeup in areas with those damn "fine lines". I'll give it a try. Love your tips and tricks.

Thanks for all the great tips on how to use these powders. I have the diffused light and love it! The ethereal in the corners of the eyes really brightened them up.

Thanks for the tips using the Hourglass powders! They look gorgeous on you!

Thanks Elle!! This was very helpful, especially the beauty blender techniques under the eye. Love your eyeshadow look today❣️

Love my Hourglass finishing powder in luminous light, it gives me a stunning champagne glow and their blush is still my favourite powder blush even though I have become a big fan of cream blushes. I would still consider repurchasing one of their blushes. Gives my cheeks a real glow that’s incomparable to other beauty products on the market. Thanks for more application tips 🙏

Gorgeous skin and the ambient powder just adds to your beauty! The lesson on application was extremely informative. Thanks so much!

Great tips and well laid out. Thanks for putting this together!

Never thought of using a beauty blender with it or even using it under the eyes. I’ll be trying this in the morning! Thank you.

I was hoping you would do this video after your last one! Thank you for getting this to us so quickly!! Oooohhh the damp or the dry beauty blender! Thank you for showing both!!

Elle your tutorials are wonderful !! Thank you for helping me learn about how to use my Hourglass Ambient Lighting powder which I recieved at Christmas! I love it.

This is so shocking as I was just watching your previous videos on best powders and applications for different skin types. Can't wait!

Great tips! I’m going to try the ethereal powder in the inner eye area...can’t wait to see how that looks on me. I have enjoyed using the ethereal as a finishing powder...it’s definitely helpful to blend out blush and bronzer, especially if you need to tone the color down a little. Thanks for all the helpful information.

Love your eyeshadow color! Looks amazing! Really makes your eyes pop without drastic colors. Nice for an everyday look!

Best explained vid I’ve been looking for, thank you hun xx

Omg i've been looking for a video like this. Thank you!!!

I have a makeup drawer with several HG products in it gathering dust because they didn’t “work” for me, but thanks to you I now know the problem wasn’t the product. It was my incorrect application. I watched this video and others you did on HG and oh, my! I have been using these powders & their foundation stick all wrong! I am 61 and can’t believe that I can finally have a “glowy” look without highlighting every crack, crevice, and pore on my face. Thank you for all your excellent tutorials. I am definitely benefiting from proper prep and make-up application as taught by YOU! Thanks again. ❤️

OMG I can't Thank you enough for this video. I hope it goes viral. Xoxo

Girl your hair! Love love love 💜💜💜

I bought the hourglass ambient powder on your recommendation and I love it! My new HG powder. Thank you 💕

I have light-medium skin tone with very oily skin and I use this powder. It doesn’t make me too greasy compared to a regular powder and it makes me look alive. I use Diffused light with ethereal light in areas I want to look a bit highlighted in a natural way.

Thank you so very much for doing this video. I love the Hourglass products but I have been using them wrong, I learned something new about them now. Thank you again. You are one of my favorites on You Tube, hope Gray is doing well and getting better. ❤️❤️🙏🙏

Also my holy grail...thanks to you, I tried this and won’t ever be without it.

Thank you Elle great demonstration. These powders are gorgeous my fav shade is Mood light and I love it !!!!!🤩

So helpful, thanks for this!! Was debating to get this powder plus the strobing powder for a separate highlight, but might just get the powder. So beautiful!!

This was fabulous! Thank you Elle🥰. I’ve had DIM for well over a year and I use it every day. Never thought to try under my eyes or with a sponge. Guess what I’m trying this morning lol I will never be without my DIM powder- ever! I use it to finish my face every day. You’re the best! Xo Tammy Roy🇨🇦

I love Hourglass powders! I have a collection of loose, finishing, bronzer, blush and the Edit palettes. When I use the all-over finishing powder, I have to be careful not to use too much because it can show the pores/texture in my skin. But when used properly they give me the glow my mature skin needs. Your tips were so helpful! ~Susanne xoxo

Your skin looks absolutely gorgeous! Im a 100% getting one

Your makeup is total goals. SO pretty. It’s perfect.

U look beautiful as always! I love hourglass powders I use it under my eyes and I can’t wait to try the new concealer.

Elle ~ thank you SO MUCH for this video! I turned 50 last week & I think this will take my dry, ‘mature’ skin to a whole other level. I’m one of those lucky ladies that struggles with setting powders. I can’t tell you how awful I look with setting powder. It’s not good. Awful, actually. Good thing is I don’t need traditional setting powder. I’ve really struggled the past several years, trying to figure out how to get a nice, natural, non-shimmer, non-glimmer, lit from within look. I’ve wanted to try these powders, but with my crazy, mature skin, I had NO idea about how to use them effectively... until now!! Thank you!!

Superb tutorial! You’re an excellent teacher. Thank you for helping me decide which colors to try, as well as learn application techniques.

Love this. I have a few of these and now know how to use them! Thanks.

Love the HG powders so much and I always love your techniques sweet Elle!!🤗🤗🤗

Wonderful tips Elle! I LOVE all hourglass powders! Can’t wait to hear what you think of their concealer.

Very helpful. I love using Ethereal as a highlighter - so subtle and pretty. To let you know, I ended up getting and keeping Ethereal Glow blush and LOVE it. I can’t explain how much it livens my face without looking like much of anything. I tried Dim Infusion and liked it, but it didn’t have the same punch as Ethereal Glow.

Thank you, I never really got how to use them. Appreciate your video.

I purchased this powder after watching a video of yours. Thank you for showing me how to use it!!!!!

I have a fair skin tone and I use Dim Light for a very light contouring when I don't want it to be overly noticeable. It works wonders and immediately brings life to your face in winter when I tend to look more dull

Do u think u could go over the difference like the strobing powders , etc.... & which ones have shimmer? Sometimes when I see my reflection in a window it looks like I have glitter everywhere!

I use most of them, I’m fair to light complexion. Dim is absolutely gorgeous

I really needed this. Thank you!!

I use a mini dim light as a subtle eyeshadow because I’m so pale & I love how it looks

Thank you so much for this video! Been trying to understand this powder ❤

I just love this stuff. The most beautiful powder in the world. I kept hearing about this, and on and on, so I had to have it. Not being a big fan of powder in general, I didn't expect much. I was sooo wrong. It gives me a soft warm glow. Where do the fine lines go? I don't know. I don't care. I just love me some lovely hourglass

Thank you soooooo much Elle! I cannot wait to play with my powders tomorrow. You're the best!!! xxx~ooo

I don’t have the hourglass powder but the malani one. I haven’t had it on my under eyes but I’m def going to try it! This was so helpful, thank you!

This was so helpful to me! Thank you Elle! 👍

I started using this powder to set my under eyes based on your recommendation. It is fabulous.

I just bought a travel size of this powder & I'm so glad u provided tips on how to apply correctly... I haven't tried yet but wanted a setting powder that provides luminosity instead of oily or greasy... I hope this wears well on my oily complexion 💕💕💋 btw... I'll prob use wet sponge to apply

I gave up with the Veil, I didn't quite understand it. Also, I had no idea that a wet sponge could be used with the Ambient Lighting powder 😯 Brilliantly demonstrated Elle, thank you, 😊❤

9 pm Central time, makeup has been removed, face cleansed and all ready to watch and call it a night. But here I am all psyched to go play in my makeup and use the tricks. My Ambient Lighting palette has been hiding in a drawer and I look forward to giving it a go!

I can't believe I took so long to subscribe to you!! I've been watching you and learning for a few years now. One of my favorite ladies to get tips from since we share similar skin..I'm on the more balanced to dry side. In my early 50s and have loved products you recommend especially for foundations, concealer and powder tips. As well, your tips and tricks on skincare and makeup application work so well for me. Thank you beautiful Elle!! You are so relatable and cool..may I again say how absolutely beautiful you are!! Oops already did hehe.

Very helpful. Great tips. Beautiful look.

A tiny amount of ethereal light on inner corners of eyes is a favorite little trick...smoothing and brightening without being shimmery, perfect with more natural makeup looks.

Thanks for this Elle!!!

Thank you Elle!!! My Sephora doesn't carry them but I am leaning towards getting the Dim Light.

I’ve never tried using a damp beauty blender I’m excited to experiment now:) I use a combination of Etherial and Dim, been meaning to order diffused as I think it would look nice over/under bronzer ...kinda like a finishing powder for my bronzer ...lol

Love these!❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for this!! I am older and post menopause and the one thing that i need to find is a powder that doesn't dry my face out or settle into lines especially around my eyesI! I am also looking for a really good foundation that has light reflecting technology that gives skin a supple dewy glow! 💖

Such a great video, different things to try with these now! I love these powders. I’m very fair with cool undertones so use Mood and Ethereal, almost like contour/highlight. You really do only need one light layer. I have dry skin so it can’t take heavy make up. They help me skip so many steps and cheat a good skin day in seconds 💗 worth every penny!
