Okay, so I've been using this Hourglass powder for about 3 months now and here's the tea...

First impression? MAGIC. Like someone put an Instagram filter on my face IRL. It blurs my pores like nobody's business and gives this ethereal glow that makes me look well-rested even after my 3am TikTok binges.

The shade range is kinda limited though - I'm a medium tan skin tone and it works, but my deeper-skinned bestie couldn't find her match. Come on Hourglass, do better!

Now the real test - longevity. Through my 10-hour workday (complete with mask-wearing), it holds up surprisingly well. No crazy oxidation or patchiness, though I do get a bit shiny around my T-zone by hour 6.

Pro tip: Less is more! The first time I used it, I went in heavy-handed like it was setting powder and ended up looking like a glittery ghost. A light dusting is all you need for that 'my skin but better' vibe.

At $58, it's definitely an investment piece. But considering how little product you need per use and the fact that it doubles as highlighter, blush topper, and overall complexion perfector? Worth every penny in my book.
