When I first saw some teaser pictures of the new limited edition Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette, for holiday 2018, I nearly bought it sight unseen. I was concerned that it might be a bit too warm for my decidedly cool-toned fair skin, therefore I waited to see it in person. My instincts were sadly correct, and it is a bit too warm for me, but it is perfect for fair to medium skin with warm undertones, or anyone who can comfortably wear warmer tones on their face.  It is absolutely gorgeous, and the quality is extraordinary– just as we expect from Hourglass. Each of the six shades is ultra-finely filled, they offer buildable coverage, and they glide across the skin effortlessly and deposit color evenly. Not only is Hourglass 100% cruelty-free, but they are donating 5% of profits from the sale of this palette to support the Nonhuman Rights Project, and therefore one can feel good about supporting this brand and this cause.

According to Hourglass,

Introducing the next generation of the coveted Ambient® Lighting Edit. The Unlocked edition features 6 new exclusive shades of powder, bronzer, blush and metallic strobe powder.

This 100% vegan palette features the Hourglass symbol representing our commitment to being a cruelty free brand. A portion of profits from this palette will go to support the Nonhuman Rights Project – the only civil rights organization in the United States working to secure legally recognized fundamental rights for nonhuman animals.
