Keeping up with all new Makeup Revolution launches is almost impossible :) They bring out new products constantly, all of them at very affordable prices. I am a bit late to the party with Radiant Lights*, but they were named Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder dupes by many bloggers, so I had to compare them for you.

There are three colour options to choose from: Glow, Breathe and Exhale (£5.00 each). You can now get a full Radiance Palette with all three shades as well for only £8.00, which is even better! It is easy to spot that the powders and the palette were inspired by the Hourglass Ambient Lighting range, but I think that the Makeup Revolution offerings are too shimmery to use allover my face. With Hourglass, I can set my makeup and add a subtle highlight, without looking like I am wearing a highlight in the wrong places. This doesn't mean that I don't like Radiant Lights though. They have a nice, finely milled texture and sit nicely on the skin, adding a gorgeous glow to the tops of my cheekbones and cupids bow.

I like using the lightest (Exhale) and medium (Breathe) shades as a highlight the darkest shade (Glow) as a bronzer. You can see the comparison to the Hourglass powders below. The colours are very similar, but the Hourglass formula is more matte and it feels more silky and lightweight.

Overall, Radiant Lights are really nice as highlighters and I would definitely recommend them for that purpose, but I personally find them a bit too shimmery to use as finishing powders allover my face.
Radiant Lights are available from www.makeuprevolutionstore.com
