I swatched all the colors in store, sorry for the poor lighting quality but I took this in the mall with my iPhone, but I hope this helps as a reference for the color range. It’s easy to touch up mid-day on top of your makeup and blend. It cancels out redness but in a natural way. For this formula the color Natural is my best match. I still do it occasionally when my foundation doesn’t have enough coverage, but in the Florida heat layers on layers of makeup are prone to caking eventually. A good blending technique with a damp beautyblender will do the trick to smooth everything out, but in my opinion I think most of the concealers are too opaque to apply on wide areas of the face. Most of us use concealer to highlight and brighten. It has just the right amount of pigment and sheerness to apply under eyes, between brows upwards and anywhere you want to brighten the skin. The Veil Retouching Fluid is the best thing I’ve tried to highlight and enhance complexion. All three are excellent, I cannot pick a favorite but I’m really pleased with the way the new Veil Translucent Setting Powder has performed. The Hourglass one also has a lighter weight feel compared to Laura Mercier’s Translucent Setting Powder. It’s not quite as matte as the Marc Jacobs Coconut Setting Powder. I use the larger side for loose or pressed setting powders and the smaller one is perfect for their blushes. I really love the way it feels on the skin and it performs really well. The Veil Powder Brush is a double-ended brush that is loose and fluffy. It’s talc-free, invisible on the skin and has no flash back. Texture is ultra fine and it does have a very subtle blurring effect to smooth out pores. ![]() On me it keeps makeup staying set all day without any cakey look. The Veil Translucent Setting Powder is an excellent translucent setting powder that doesn’t add any white cast to the skin and sets the face in a very natural way. ![]() Earlier in the spring they launched a few additions. It’s an oil-free version so best used with oil-free foundations. Their Veil Mineral Primer has been a long-time best seller for them. Next are the Veil Product additions including the Veil Translucent Setting Powder, Veil Powder Brush and Veil Retouching Fluid in Natural. The difference being Nuanced is a lot more shimmery and frosty so it’s more dramatic and won’t quite give you the same effect. I also found one close dupe with is the MAC Mineralized Skinfinish in Nuanced (reviewed here). Swatch comparisons below to a few colors from two previous Hourglass palettes in Holiday 2017 Ambient Lighting Edit Volume 3 and Surreal Light Holiday 2016. I wish they would launch palettes with all new shades, but I do like these for their convenience, especially for travel. If you’re an Hourglass fan there’s a high chance you already own 2 of the blush colors. The Surreal Glow in my Nordstrom Palette is slightly deeper than the one I have in the Surreal Light Palette. Each powder is hand made so no two are identical and colors can be the slightest bit different depending on how much color you get in each swirl. ![]() Surreal Glow is the new color which is a soft light peachy pink glow which was actually in the Hourglass Holiday 2016 Surreal Light Palette. This has one new shade Surreal Glow and two repeats in Luminous Flush and Mood Exposure. Up first is a look at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Ambient Lighting Blush Palette.
