Most Helpful Positive Review Best of all time This is the best blush ever, hands down. I've used this blush in the shade Diffused Heat for years and am so thrilled Ulta carries Hourglass now. I've tried other blushes and always come back to this. Diffused Heat looked intimidating to me at first, considering it's a bold poppy color in the pan, and I have a light complexion with blue eyes and light blonde hair. But never fear, it gives the most natural finish! A little does go a long way, so just gently swipe your pan and apply it to your cheeks. You'll get the hang of it quickly. I want to try other colors of this blush but I have no idea how anything could top this. I'm a model and former pageant girl who's had my makeup done tons of times and this blush is still my all-time fave.
Tip: try to make sure your product has a fairly even blush-to-powder ratio in it when you get it.
Most Helpful Critical Review Poor blush to powder ratio so no pigment These are great radiant blushes if you get the right blush to powder ratio. But if not they can either be too bright or too much like a highlighter rather than a blush. It's not really a plus that each one has an individual mix as they can be very inconsistent. This last one I ordered in the electra shade is mostly powder with very little coral peach in it. As I can't see what I'm getting ordering online I probably will not order it again and will be returning this one. It has almost zero color when applied. This is not the first time I have experienced this and for the price tag I expect a consistent quality product. If you are fortunate enough to get the right mix, these are lovely. If not, a waste of money. Disappointed. I ordered blush, not highlighter or powder.

I love this blush, it great to grab for quick makeup looks without having to worry about overdoing your blush spending extra time trying to blend it out.

I got the shade At Night and it's so beautiful. It's like a soft brown red? It's hard to describe but it's truly stunning. I was a little iffy on the price point, but this works alone and even better on other blushes.
Ethereal glow 5
FitnessAngel from USA
I absolutely love this highlighter. It is beautifully pigmented and lasts all day. I generally put it on with Nars Orgasm. It is great as a stand alone for makeup light days. It does not cake or crease. I have fair, combination, aging skin. I think it will suit a range of skin tones, particularly if you are looking for a pink tint
Favorite blush of all time! 5

I own the color "Mood Exposure". I typically go for more coral looking blushes, but this color is so natural and beautiful, I wear it with every makeup look. I also use the Ambient Lighting bronzer with this and they work perfectly together. The price tag is steep but the products last a really long time. Another review mentioned that the marbling in the powder varies and they would be correct; sometimes I get a blush that's darker in one pan and lighter in the next. I still love this blush regardless of that, but it's something to be aware of.

Love this blush! It is so cute and easy to blend. I got shade mood exposure and it is so cute for neutral makeup. I highly recommend it!

beautiful blush! 5
Andrea from buffalo, ny
I have the red and it's absolutely stunning! all you need to do is tap the brush on the blush or else you'll pick up too much. I love layering it on top of cream blushes

Gorgeous glowy blushes 5
Crazy4cosmetics from South shore, MA
Ambient Lighting Blush is gorgeous in every shade! Ethereal Glow is a beautiful cool pale pink that is perfect for fair skin tones. Radiant Magenta and Mood Exposure are best on tan to darker skin tones. Incandescent Electra is a stunning cool toned peachy pink shade that works on fair to tan skin tones. There really is something for everyone in these blushes. They leave the most natural lit from within radiance to the complexion. They are my favorite blushes of all time and the only ones I have repurchased over and over again. They wear all day and you get a lot of product for the money. Also, they are glowy but not glittery or shimmery. I don't know how Hourglass does it, but they made the perfect blush for skin of any age. Looks great on everyone. So glad Ulta is carrying these!
Color: Mood Exposure 4
ER from MN
I own Mood Exposure and a little goes a long way. It creates a great natural flush to the cheeks and I love it on "no makeup" makeup days. The only flaw I notice with Hourglass is the "ambient light" marbling is different in every compact, so you never really know what you're getting when ordering online.
Blush for someone who hates blush 5
Violet from Chicago
I have this is Diffused Heat and it's quite honestly one of the most beautiful pieces of makeup in my collection. I use this this as eye shadow as well on days I want a toned down look. It's the most perfect soft peach/flushed color I've ever seen. A tiny bit on the top of the cheekbones and it's heaven.
