I got my box of adorable minis from Sephora today- Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder mini Dim Light (my first Hourglass powder!) and mini Becca Opal- Poured (and a mini Living Proof hair mask).

How do I use the 2 minis, ladies?

Depending on your skin tone you can use the hourglass powder as a setting powder to keep your foundation (using a light hand) or concealer in place. It has a very subtle glow that it imparts on the skin or use it as soft highlight on the cheeks and high points of your face if you like. As for the cream highlighter, its best as a base under a powder highlight - to keep it in place - or if you like a very dewy look you can forgo the powder and use it on its own. Place it anywhere you want your face to glow :)

Thank you! So basically I can swap it for my Meteorites then, or build it up a little bit. Good to know, I just couldn't resist purchasing the smaller size since I love the blushes so much.

I think I'm going to have to play around with Opal for awhile- for as much as I'm used to working with powders, creams befuddle me.

Hi guys, just wondering where, apart from Ebay, Glambot, Swapidu and Depop I can check to get Becca in Champagne Gold?

Champagne Pop is still at Sephora online, and I've tried it, but unfortunately, it is too light.

Thanks!

That's what I used it for when I took that Sephora foundation class, as a setting powder. The teacher said she used it as one because she loves glowy skin. So I tried and it looked good. Before that when I saw it I found it too subtle as a highlight. I'm talking about the palette: https://m.sephora.com/product/P382309

Beautiful! Did you order that from Dior directly?

Thanks Bosch. Yes, and it's no longer there. I don't know how they make these decisions. Perhaps this means it will show up at other merchants

I have used it as a setting powder (not just a finishing powder) No one here was discussing the difference between the two as thats NOT what she asked for. I gave her options. I know the difference and as a professional I've tested it time and time again. I don't make recommendations unless it passes my tests in person and on camera :haha: but you however can use it how you choose to. lol.
