![]() ![]() Some apply it under their foundation, others wear it on its own-ditching foundation altogether-and some consider it their highlighter of choice. ![]() The product seemed to be a mainstay in the routines of all the It girls, from Adele to the singer-songwriter Griff and now, two years later, it’s still buzzy. And like one’s cheekbones following an application of the highlighter product, the reviews were glowing. You can find this at Charlotte Tilbury online or in Holt Renfrew if you’re in Canada for US $44 / CAD $50.00.As I became TikTok-obsessed at the height of the pandemic, it seemed I couldn’t go ten videos without seeing my fellow beauty-lovers posting a Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter review. Definitely worth looking into if you love glowy looks! I love that it doesn’t make me look shimmery but gives a soft-focus, illuminate skin. This really is an amazing complexion booster that just melts right into the skin and layers well with liquid foundations. I find that my pores appear a little smoother and skin-tone evens out. Yes, you can get similar effect with other liquid illuminators but there’s just something about this that just works beautifully for me. Now I wouldn’t say this has the versatility of a mega-watt glow highlighter as claimed, but it really does give you an airbrush look. It has a dewy finish that doesn’t get greasy and really has such a beautiful glow. By the way, the way I mix this with my foundation is by swiping on a few stripes on the face and dot in foundation on the forehead, cheeks and chin and then go in with my beauty sponge. Oh my goodness, my skin was glowing but just a beautiful lit-from-within glow, not shiny, glittery or sparkly at all. So I found that what works perfectly for me is when I mixed it with my foundation - and tapped a little extra onto the high points of my face on top of foundation. I know it doesn’t work just as a primer or just as a foundation for me because no matter how dry I am, I don’t want to look like a disco ball and I also want some coverage. So what did I do? - Well I tried it a couple different ways – call it experimenting. I was a little confused when I first heard of this to be honest (is it a highlighter? a foundation? a primer or do you mix with foundation? how the heck do you use it?). Shade 7 is a deep bronze for dark skin tones. Shade 6 is a warm amber for deep skin tones. Shade 5 is a neutral caramel for medium tan skin tones. Shade 4 is a neutral golden yellow for medium skin tones. Shade 3 is a neutral peach for light to medium skin. ![]() Shade 2 is a neutral peachy beige for fair skin. Shade 1 is a neutral beige for very fair skin. I initially wanted Shade 4 however, it was sold out everywhere online and so I opted for Shade 5 which turns out to be quite perfect for me. There are seven shades in total and I have the Shade 5, which is a neutral caramel for medium tan skin tones. As well, porcelain flower extract (rich in antioxidants and derived from a delicate Thai flower) brightens skin beautifully. The magic behind the makeup starts with Charlotte Tilbury’s ‘airbrush polymers’ and finely milled powders, which smooth over fine lines and pores, minimizing their appearance for a flawless effect. Called a “complexion booster” by Charlotte Tilbury, it has the versatility of a primer, the mega-watt glow of a highlighter, and the perfecting properties of your favourite digital filter. In April, I did a little Birthday shopping and hauled a few Charlotte Tilbury goodies including her newest Hollywood Flawless Filter. ![]()
