Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter

There has been a lot of different opinions of Charlotte Tilbury's Hollywood Flawless Filter as to what kind of product it is, It is in fact a complexion booster. this customisable, hybrid complexion booster is quite different of any other product on the market. It offers the imperfection-blurring benefits of a primer, the mega-watt glow of a highlighter and the unbeatably perfecting properties of your favourite photographic filter. In 7 shades, you can wear it under, over or instead of foundation, or mix it with your favourite base products for a beautiful boost. Ms. Tilbury herself calls it ‘the ultimate high gloss, high glow celebrity skin filter in a bottle’.

I have shade 1 because I have pretty fair skin but shade 2 wouldn't have given me as good of a glow as shade 1 does. Its rare that I wear foundation but I wanted something to show off my skin and help it look healthy. This gives a non glittery glow to my skin and blends beautifully. If you're wanting high shine you could easily layer to build the glow up.

It has a large doe-foot applicator which is good for me because sometimes with pumps or pouring products you can waste product but you can be nice and precise with its application. I swipe it across the top of my cheekbones and on my cupids bow to give those areas a healthy glow then blend with my fingertips, as I found brushes seem to pick up the product so its better with my fingertips. I am yet to try it with foundation so I cant comment on it layering with that but I would imagine it would be lovely. I've used it over the new Origins Original Skin Cooling Primer and it layers well over that.
