One day while working on a photoshoot doing makeup, mine fell and was ruined on the beach. ...I like to use it as the last step for face makeup & then set with setting spray. I am so happy with this product.

What it is:
A palette featuring three shades of Ambient Lighting Powder, the high-tech, soft-focus finishing powder that recreates the most exquisitely flattering types of light. .

What it does:
Ambient Lighting Powder is a groundbreaking collection of finishing powders that capture, diffuse, and soften the way light reflects on your skin.

The powders deliver a multidimensional luminescence to every skin tone, making it appear softer and lit from within.

It doesn't have the staying power of my holly grail but it's great for events and little photoshoots. I love how many shades there are aswell....Uploading a very light makeup photo just to show the shade.

Had a photoshoot today this powder saved me from getting even slightly greasy. ...Not good for a night out/flash photography sadly. The flash back and white cast is horrible, as expected with any powders that have Silica in the ingredients.

A loose setting and mattifying powder that absorbs excess oil and sets foundation for all day wear.

What it does:
This airy, lightweight powder reduces shine, mattifies, and sets your makeup for a flawless, all-day look. This formula absorbs excess sebum and oil, and the ultra-thin mica minerals preserve your foundation's wear and color throughout the day. It’s available in two shades, translucent and deep, to fit across a wide range of skin tones.

What it is:
A transparent, weightless powder to set under-eye concealer, brighten dark circles, and diminish the look of fine lines.

Create the appearance of naturally-perfected skin, while maximizing the wear and coverage of makeup. This transparent under-eye setting powder brightens, lightens, and creates a look of luminosity. Formulated with light-reflecting, micronized pigments, this super-soft, weightless powder delivers a soft, radiant finish and resists settling into fine lines, accentuating shadows, or building up on skin.

What else you need to know:
This product is dermatologist- and ophthalmologist-tested. It is perfect for all skin types, even sensitive ones.

But, the product itself is really nice! As a makeup artist, I'm always looking for products that I can use on most of my clients (which, with brow gel is not easy) and I think this one would be a nice addition to my kit for light makeup looks, or very "bare" skin photoshoots. ...As a makeup artist in the entertainment industry, trends are something I have to keep up with.

What it is: A clean, clear brow gel boosted by hair care actives that fluffs, lifts, and sets brows in place while helping them reach their full growth potential.

What Else You Need to Know: Air Brow Clear + Clean Lifting Treatment Eyebrow Gel creates a fuller appearance with biodegradable, plant-based fibers and a triangular spoolie that lifts each hair. It grooms and adds natural sheen for an effortless, unfussy look.
