I saw Hourglass makeup this morning on HSN and it looked very nice - not cheap - but very nice. Anyone use this makeup? If so, thoughts please.

I'd never heard of it before. I did catch the presentation of the lipstick/gloss set & that sounds interesting but way over-priced.

Willdob3 - I agree very expensive.

I have heard a lot of great reviews on their primers and ambient lighting powders on youtube. I haven't tried those yet, but I do have the Femme rouge lipstick in the color called Whisper and I really do like it. It is very moisturizing on my lips

I also like their brushes a lot.


I lost the beginning of this post!

I started by saying I've used a number of their products over the years but the ones I've continued to use are the eyeshadow and the lipstick. I agree with LovemyHusky that the lipsticks are very moisturizing.

I don't have much because they're expensive, but the things I have I'm very impressed by. I really like that the Femme Rouge lipsticks tubes are refillable.

I've heard it is quality make up, on par with Chanel, etc. I don't have it in my area however. You can see video review of it on youtube from the many beauty bloggers.

I have had HourGlass Dim Ambient "powder" for a month or so and it is fabulous! It is one of those items that makes me think, "wow", this stuff is truly fantastic . So very light, completely simple to use, it leaves a wonderful omph to my face. This stuff is worth every cent. Much better than Halo or similar products.

I have the following Hourglass items:

Ambient Lighting in Dim - love as a finishing powder

Ambient Lighting in Diffused (I like Dim better for my coloring)

Mineral Veil Primer - very nice if you prefer a lotion type primer rather than silicone or pore filling

Opaque Rouge Lipstick - drying, never use

Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation - great in the summer for my oily skin

Illusion Tinted Moisturizer - one of my favorite foundations, even though it is a Tinted Moisturizer it has more coverage than most foundation, beautiful finish, long lasting

Visionaire Eye Shadow Duo - excellent but not sure it's worth the price, I have the Suede duo and if you like lighter neutrals this is a stunning duo.

I bought three of the Ambient Lighting Blushes. I'm returning two, Flush and Heat, and keeping the Magenta. The Flush and Heat are very similar and nothing outstanding about the color or finish.

The winners for me are the Ambient Lighting in Dim and the Illusion Tinted Moisturizer. If you have oily skin, the Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation is a winner, too.
