Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit III Barneys New York

A limited-edition palette of six pans of light, blush and bronze in a gold compact with an illustrated Barneys New York lid.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit III Barneys New York is a limited-edition face palette from the Ambient Lighting collection by Hourglass, created with Barneys New York to celebrate the brand's 20th anniversary. The gold metal compact with a mirror holds six pans of 1.4 g each, 8.4 g in total: two illuminating powders, three marbled blushes and one bronzer. Together they form a warm peach-and-rose palette in which shine and colour can be blended to suit the mood.

The lid is decorated with a sketchy, line-drawn illustration in black, burgundy and sage green: the words Barneys New York, a bow, an eye, lips, a perfume bottle, a high heel, a butterfly, cherries, a martini glass with an olive, sunglasses, stars and the letter H. The same artwork is repeated on the gold carton, which gives the net contents as 6 x 1.4 g.

Key ingredients

Mica, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite and Boron Nitride

The mineral base of the blush pans, which gives the powders their shine and helps them blend smoothly.

Diamond Powder

A fine powder present in the blush pans, which reflects light and adds radiance to the finish.

Tocopherol

Vitamin E, an antioxidant that supports the formula.

Shade variants

• Eternal Light (Lighting Powder): an illuminating powder in a pale, champagne-pink colour with a fine, pearly shimmer.
• Lucid Glow (Lighting Blush): a marbled blush in coral and gold swirls, warm and luminous.
• Mood Exposure (Lighting Blush): a marbled blush, soft and powdery, in pink swirls with a hint of mauve.
• Infinite Strobe Light (Strobe Powder): a strobing powder in a warm, honey-peach gold, with two tones in one pan.
• At Night (Lighting Blush): a marbled blush in deep berry-burgundy red interwoven with peach.
• At Night (Lighting Bronzer): a bronzer in a warm, caramel brown.

The pan names are given as they appear on the palette; two pans are called At Night.
