Highlighting is still a popular way to create brightness and add light to your face. The New Hourglass Ambient Metallic Strobe Lighting Palette ($62) gives the most reflective glow to the high point of your face, therefore amplifying your highlight to a new level. The Palette contains three gorgeous new shades: Absolute Strobe, Pure Strobe and Lucent Strobe.
Packaging: Ambient Metallic Strobe Lighting
The packaging for the new limited edition Ambient Metallic Strobe Lighting Palette is a silver mirrored compact that looks sleek, sophisticated and also reflective!
The inside palette has a nice-sized mirror on top and the three ambient metallic strobe powders on the bottom.
The Shades
Absolute Strobe Light is a soft pink metallic pearl powder.
Pure Strobe Light is a pale gold metallic pearl powder.
Lucent Strobe Light is a rose gold metallic pearl powder.
The Formula
The Ambient Metallic Strobe Lighting Palette is formulated with photoluminescent technology where optically transparent particles alter the appearance of the skin by manipulating and refracting favorable light.
The formula includes intensely concentrated multifaceted pearl particles in varying sizes and refraction levels.
Soft-focus technology minimizes the look of wrinkles, imperfections and discoloration therefore your skin looks young and healthy.
Thoughts
These new Hourglass Ambient Metallic Strobe highlighters are completely different (in a good way) than their predecessors,in last year’s Ambient Lighting Surreal Light Holiday Palette . The new Metallic Strobe highlighters don’t emphasize the size of your pores. The finish is shimmery, not glittery. It gives a bright, amplified highlight, and takes it to a new level. It gives the most reflective glow to the highpoints of your face. The texture is velvety and smooth therefore the skin looks smooth, and even. Skin doesn’t look masked. The application is easy because the powder glides across your face and creates an intense, amplified light. The highlight almost looks wet. The powder melts into your skin and gives you an incredible glow. If you crave a blinding highlight, especially during the holiday season, the powders can do that too, because they are buildable.
Hourglass never disappoints me. Their powders are gorgeously formulated, and they do exactly what they are supposed to do. Sometimes, glitter is too much, and a more sophisticated glow is all you need to look great. Hourglass can give you that glow, as well as giving you a blinding strobe when you use the Ambient Metallic Strobe lighting palette.
I’d love to hear what you think about strobing, glowing, glittering, wet-looking highlights in the comments below.

Do you think these would work on very pale skin?
Hi Zoey!
I totally think this Ambient Metallic Strobe Lighting Palette will look great with most skin tones, and it will look fantastic with very pale skin.
