description

An illuminating bronzer with Photoluminescent Technology, featuring bronze pigments that deliver a natural-looking, sunkissed glow while flaunting depth and dimension. Ambient Lighting Bronzer’s sheer, airy formula sweeps softly onto skin for a healthy-looking, radiant finish. It’s formulated with Photoluminescent Technology, featuring optically transparent particles that transform the look of skin by manipulating and refracting light to emphasize your best features. The optically transparent particles allow for seamless blending and color transitions. The powders, blended by hand using an advanced miscelare technique, offer the perfect balance of pigments in a gorgeous pattern. Use this bronzer alone, or paired with Ambient Lighting Powder for maximum control to create depth and dimension—or even use it for a subtle contouring effect.

I'm a huge Hourglass fan but I must say this is probably the only Hourglass product that I don't like. It's not bad, colour is nice (nude bronze), but just at the same level as other brands which...

Pros: nice formula, easy to blend, the color will suit NC/NW20 and slightly darker skin tones Cons: I'm N13 and it does look orange on me if I don't use a very light hand, I'd venture to say it's...

I bought this in Radiant Bronze Light some time ago. On my skin tone, it's not much of a bronzer as I am simply too dark to use it for its intended purpose. But I do like using this as a...

I wish there were a 'maybe' option for re-purchasing the product in the rating with reviews. I got the mini size at Sephora to try before committing to the hefty price tag for the regular size. ...

This is my favourite bronzer formula, hands down. I have it in both diffused light and nude bronze light as these shades I think have a more natural sheen. I have used the luminous bronze light but...

I bought this in Diffused Bronze Light and found it disappointing. I was hoping the description was accurate, of a "cool bronze shade" but found it quite orangey for my NW20 skin. Color aside, the...

I love the formula of their powders. I have shade Nude Bronze Light, and for me it is the perfect buildable bronzer that creates the most natural bronze glow. Give it a try, it is expensive but...

While I like this bronzer, I don't think it is at all worth the money. I got the shade Nude Bronze Light, which adds a soft glow and a hint of color and looks very natural on the skin. It is...

How do fair cool toned people wear this? On me it reads pure ORANGE. It is the most orange high end bronzer I have ever used. It also has a lot of glitter so if you don't want that in your day...

After swatching a number of bronzers in Sephora, I decided to go with Nude Bronze Light as it looked the most flattering on my fair cool-toned skin (NW20). It gives a subtle but very pretty effect....

This is my holy grail bronzer. It looks so seamless and natural on my pale skin. It's also so pigmented that you only need a tiny bit each application. I've been using it everyday for almost a year...

I was hoping this would work for me and I'm so sad it doesn't. The pigment on this product is FANTASTIC. I barely had to touch my brush to the product and it picked up so much product. This will...

I was very hesitant about buying this bronzer, I mean it sure is pricey and I was afraid that it would make me look extra shimmery or glittery. Also it is somewhat difficult to choose the right...

I had to knock one lippie off for the price. I mean, c'mon, $50 is a bit much. However, it is my favorite bronzer as of right now. I was using Too Faced prior to this in Sun Bunny but I found it...
