My skin type: Extremely sensitive + oily + severe blackheads and enlarged pores I usually prefer a matte finish, but lately I've been drawn to that gorgeous glowy look, so I started searching for a highlighter. Since I have more visible pores than most people, I was initially considering Laura Mercier's highlighter for its pore-blurring effect. However, I stumbled upon Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Incandescent. After reading tons of comparison reviews, everyone seemed to agree that Hourglass had finer shimmer particles. The reviews consistently described it as not a flashy shine or greasy look, but rather an "elevated" glow. So I decided to take the plunge. Oh boy, once I tried it myself, I totally got what those reviews meant! It truly gives an elegant, sophisticated glow that's subtle rather than intense. It's quite noticeable in natural light, but less so indoors (which is a bit disappointing). As for my main concern - nose pores - applying with fingers does emphasize them a bit, but using a brush in circular motions to "fill in" the pores significantly reduces their appearance. The more I use it though, I have some mixed feelings. The effect is quite subtle, which makes me wonder if it was worth the high price tag. Also, since I have oily skin, my nose gets shiny after a while and my pores become more noticeable again. I think this would work beautifully for those with already good skin or dry/normal skin types. Unfortunately, it's barely noticeable in indoor lighting... In natural light though, it's absolutely stunning! This review provides a detailed account of the user's experience with the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Incandescent. The translation maintains the friendly, conversational tone while incorporating relevant synonyms from the provided list. The cultural references and expressions have been adapted to resonate with English-speaking readers. The review highlights both the positive aspects (subtle, elegant glow; pore-blurring effect when applied with a brush) and the drawbacks (subtle effect may not justify the high price; less effective for oily skin types) of the product. 
po*********Dry SkinSensitive SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsEnlarged PoresRecommendedMay 15, 2025I used to like highlighters until I was 40 years old, but as I got older, I didn't use them as much. My pores got bigger and bumps kept appearing, so I barely used them. But I bought one because I heard the particles were fine and natural-looking. It's not too bright, but the subtle, natural glow is really pretty. Even though I have sensitive skin, I haven't had any major breakouts so far. Even if the particles are fine, you should apply it lightly. If you apply a little too much, it will look dull and thick. I thought I could use it like a finishing powder because of the word 'powder', so I applied it all over my face, and my makeup was ruined that day.... How stupid of me! Ah... It's too much to use just as a point, and it's also quite expensive~ I used to throw away highlighters because I couldn't use up the small amount even after more than a year, and I'm worried I won't be able to use even half of it. The product itself is not bad, but the efficiency is low, so it's the most regretted product among the ones I recently bought. Moreover, after I bought it, there was an additional discount, and a mini version was released... I'm so upset.
