Here's What The New Hourglass Palette Costs

by Jessica Willingham

You say "limited edition highlighter and blush palette," I say, "please take all of my money." The brand new creation by Hourglass is so beautiful, but is it worth it? If you're wondering how much is Hourglass' Ambient Lighting Edit Highlighter Palette, have no fear: It's surprisingly cost efficient.

Hourglass has already released its Holiday 2016 Limited Edition Ambient Edit Lighting Palette, which retails for $80. It includes five pans of never-before-seen shades, which breaks down to two blushes, a bronzer, a highlighter, and a finishing powder. That comes to $16 per pan — an amazing deal when you consider the typical Ambient Lighting Blush compact costs $38. If you bought five individual pans of Hourglass highlighter, bronzer, blush and finishing powder, you'd pay $190. Score.

This is a gorgeous palette if you're looking for an all-over face palette that is soft enough for everyday use and sturdy enough for travel. That's a tall order in the beauty and makeup world, but this palette nails it. The shades are universal for all skin tones and are "designed to be layered and work together seamlessly to imbue the entire complexion with an otherworldly glow."

Bonus? A full-sized dual-ended applicator brush for all your highlighting and bronzing needs.

Take it from professional makeup artist Wayne Goss, who called the palette "stunning" and that "the colors and saturation of these products are more intense than Hourglass' previous Ambient products." Yes, please.

Grab your palette online at Sephora.com or HourglassCosmetics.com, or in stores.
