Hourglass Ambient Soft Glow Foundation

I have been trying out different foundations to replace my discontinued brand. My search was over after trying Hourglass. Besides having the most important feature of being cruelty-free, this foundation is silky and glides on smoothly with nice coverage. I was actually surprised how little I needed of the product to get great coverage.

The best foundation

I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Hourglass foundation bottle, a product I've come to love over time. However, my excitement quickly turned into disappointment as I opened the package to find a messy, leaking bottle. First and foremost, let me make it clear that I am a big fan of the Hourglass foundation itself. It offers great coverage, a flawless finish, and it's a staple in my daily beauty routine. So, when I decided to order it online, I had high hopes for a smooth and satisfying experience. What frustrated me even more was that I had to go through the hassle of returning the product. It's frustrating to deal with returns and exchanges, especially when you're excited about a product you genuinely love. I was hoping to receive a pristine, untouched bottle that I could put to use immediately, but instead, I ended up spending extra time and effort on resolving this issue. I understand that accidents happen during shipping, but I didn't anticipate such a problem with a high-end brand like Hourglass. The bottle itself is glass, and didn't break but something leaked in the cap. I would expect it to be packaged with extra care to prevent any potential damage or leakage. In the end, this experience left me not only disappointed but also questioning whether I'd order this Hourglass product online in the future. I hope they takes the necessary steps to ensure the safe and secure packaging of their products in the future to avoid similar situations. Despite my disappointment, I'll continue to use their foundation, but with some reservations regarding the online purchase experience. Overall, my love for the Hourglass foundation remains unshaken, but this shipping mishap has certainly left a bitter aftertaste in my beauty routine.

The finish is beautiful and it states buildable coverage however, just the first thin layer one pump will provide an almost 2 mat finish. Add a little setting powder on top or just a light, dusting of any powder and finishing spray and it makes the finish a little bit more realistic however, it does last for hours and hours in overall I think it’s a great product for those not so great skin days.
