The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked collection for 2026 was designed in partnership with French jewelry artisan Lauren Rubinski, whose signature pendants inspired the heart, key, horseshoe, and four-leaf clover motifs at the center of each limited-edition palette. Each one celebrates symbolism and meaning, from connection and affection to happiness and protection and pouring good fortune onto others. "I love the idea that a symbol can hold intention, that it can become something you carry with you — almost like a personal lucky charm,” says Lauren.

Hourglass introduces its 2026 Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked collection in four new limited-edition palettes, designed in partnership with French jewelry artisan Lauren Rubinski. Both crafted in Italy, Lauren's jewelry and Hourglass' iconic Ambient Lighting Powders are united by a shared devotion to artistry, light, and distinctive craftsmanship. Each Ambient Lighting powder is individually hand poured using Hourglass' signature 'miscelare' technique, an intricate process that blends pigment and light to create uniquely marbled powders. No two powders are exactly alike, making every palette a one-of-a-kind expression of artistry. The result is a collection that bridges two creative worlds: the detail of fine jewelry and the innovation of beauty. The limited-edition Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked collection is available in four distinctive designs: Love, Hope, Luck, and Wish at HourglassCosmetics.com.

Hourglass Cosmetics has redefined the modern lip with the launch of Phantom Blur Balm, through a new lens of innovation, sensorial texture, and intuitive artistry. Infused with hyaluronic acid and conditioning emollients, the formula combines the hydration of a balm with the soft-focus payoff of a matte, creating a finish that feels as effortless as it looks. When speaking about its five lip-enahancing shades, Who What Wear UK's Eleanor Vousden says, "I have two shades of the Phantom Blur Balms… and they’ve both taken up permanent residences in my makeup bag and my handbag. Echo, a soft, neutral pink, has been my everyday go-to, whereas Whisper has a pinky mauve tone that I've been leaning towards more so for summer. I'll definitely be picking up some of the deeper shades for next season. Honestly? I can't imagine my makeup bag without these since trying them.” Discover the latest addition to the Phantom franchise at Who What Wear UK and at HourglassCosmetics.com. https://lnkd.in/gun5fgii
