Hourglass Cosmetics unveils this season’s highly anticipated Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked palettes with two new designs by London-based artist, Katie Scott. This marks the third limited-edition collection with Scott to support Hourglass’ partnership with the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) to secure fundamental rights for animals.
This season’s palettes feature a curated edit of Hourglass’ signature Ambient Lighting Powders that create a mystical, multidimensional glow. The collection of new and bestselling shades is housed in this year’s prosperity-inspired designs, comprising The Dragon and The Evil Eye. For the first time, each palette includes five brand new essential shades to create a glowing complexion in one sleek palette—finishing powder, blush, bronzer, and highlighter.
Emblems Of Good Luck & Fortune
“This year, the illustrations were designed to infuse positivity into your makeup ritual, unlocking luck, abundance, and protection every day. I took inspiration for these designs from ancient myths to tell the story of each symbol and what they represent. The Dragon epitomises power and good fortune, and The Evil Eye is a universal metaphor for being perceptive and mindful of the energies around you to embrace positivity and bring good luck.” Katie Scott, Illustrator.
Symbolic of supernatural powers, wisdom, and strength, the Dragon face palette includes one best selling shade of finishing powder and five brand-new shades of finishing powder, blush, bronzer, and highlighter to diffuse, enhance, and add glow to the complexion. Utilising Hourglass’ groundbreaking Photoluminescent Technology, micron-size, colour-correcting particles capture, diffuse, and soften surrounding light to refine the skin’s appearance. This palette was created by London-based artist Katie Scott, and each powder is hand-mixed to produce the ideal balance of light and pigment for a radiant glow and natural flush.

The perfect counterpart to the Ambient Lighting Edit Palettes is this multi-tasking brush, available in the limited-edition Dragon and Evil Eye design by Katie Scott. Featuring two versatile brush heads, the Ambient Lighting Edit Brush can be used for an array of products, including powder, bronzer, blush, and highlighter. Its rounded end is shaped for applying finishing powder and adding bronzer to the temples and hollows of the cheeks, while the tapered end of the brush is shaped to flawlessly apply blush and highlighter.
Made of high-grade, ultra-soft synthetic bristles, these brushes can be used with powder, cream, or liquid formulas for the most flawless finish.
Available as a limited-edition duo, the Phantom Volumising Glossy Balm features a coveted shade of the glossy balm’s unique lip formula, Trace 105, a bestselling beige hue, and Mystic 150, a brand-new coral with a pearlescent finish. A marriage of a unique elixir of emollients and oils, it glides oh-so-smoothly onto lips for full-bodied colour and comfortable wear without feeling sticky or tacky.
This innovative 3-in-1 hybrid hydrates like a lip balm, plumps for fuller-looking lips, and delivers the high-shine finish of a lip gloss, creating softer and smoother lips instantly, while feeling nourished, conditioned, and replenished all day.
