The Hourglass holiday palette has been revealed, and there’s two palettes for 2021! The Hourglass Universe Unlocked Ambient Lighting Edit Palette is one of the palettes, and there’s also the Hourglass Universe Ambient Lighting Edit Palette too.
One of the palettes is lighter, whereas the other is deeper, so it looks like they’re trying to cater to deeper skintones. Keep on reading to find out more about the Universe Unlocked Palette…

Hourglass Universe Unlocked Ambient Lighting Edit Palette
For 2020, Hourglass launched their Sculpture collection which included a six pan Ambient Lighting Edit Palette, but there was also a four pan palette within the collection too.
There’s been a lot of pressure placed on Hourglass this year, regarding the lack of inclusivity across their shade ranges, so it’s good to see them create a lighter version of their holiday palette, and then the Hourglass Universe Unlocked Ambient Lighting Edit Palette as their deeper palette.
The Hourglass Universe Unlocked Ambient Lighting Edit Palette has brand new packaging this year, and I’m not sure how I feel about it. It’s a patterned marble tin design, and both palettes have different designs, so you can easily tell them apart.
Usually the Hourglass holiday palettes have shiny plastic compacts, but this year’s palettes come in a tin, just like the tin packaging on their Creator Eyeshadow Palettes. The tins don’t scream luxury beauty, like their original plastic palettes.
The Hourglass Universe Unlocked Ambient Lighting Edit Palette includes five powders, with four smaller shaped pans, and one larger pan, and the powders within this palette are;
- Hourglass Radiant Light Finishing Powder
- Rose Heat Blush (NEW)
- Radiant Bronze Light Bronzer
- Coral Flush Blush (NEW)
- Solar Strobe Light Strobe Powder (NEW)
I love that you get three brand new powders, and two repromotes, and you’re getting one bronzer, two blushers, one highlighter and one finishing powder. It’s a really rounded out palette, with everything you need in one.
The Hourglass Universe Unlocked Ambient Lighting Edit Palette is set to launch on the 24th of September, and we know the price in euros will be €89.45, and I’ll update this post once we know the price in dollars and pounds. You can check out the new Hourglass holiday palette right here.
