The only slight hang-up I have with this product is that it's slightly orangey, despite me using the fairest, coolest shade-but once it's blended out and paired with a foundation this is no longer an issue. It's so subtle but radiant-ideal if you're not a fan of glitters or really pigmented highlighters. Even when I add powder there is no cakiness and the glow still shines through.Īs e.l.f claims, it can also be used to highlight, I also applied it on my cheekbones and nose with the help of a beauty blender and honestly it looks *chefs kiss*. Instead, I'm left with a dewy, healthy-looking base that looks like my skin but way better. It blends beautifully (though it does take longer to perfect as the shade I used had a more orangey tinge) but my foundation did melt into it and crucially, I don't get foundation piling. I loved the fact that the doe-foot was larger than others I've tried-it was easier to apply and didn't require me to go back to the bottle for a second helping.

I applied it like a primer for my foundation, dotting it onto my cheekbones, nose bridge, forehead and chin. My goal is a glow for the gods which I can definitely say I achieved with the e.l.f Halo Glow. Personally, I love a dewy, natural makeup look-my makeup routine consists of a glow filter, foundation, concealer on my under eyes, powder, blush, blush and more blush-finished off with a liquid highlighter, mascara and some brow gel. So far it’s already a winner in the Beautyverse-especially since it’s under $15, unlike some of its competitors…but how does it really compare? My verdict on the e.l.f Halo Glow Liquid Filter It's also jam-packed with some of our favorite ingredients, from hyaluronic acid to squalane and has exclusively five-star reviews.īut is this hit glow booster really worth the hype and more so, is it worth retiring your luxury products for? Here's my honest verdict, plus a rundown on its formula and how to apply it. To define this product, think of a concealer that while making your skin look flawless, also nourishes and hydrates your skin-giving you a fresh, natural glow. Yes, I'm talking about the e.l.f Halo Glow Liquid filter, which you'll no doubt have seen all over your social feeds.

Perhaps the first of its kind to really burst on the scene was Charlotte Tilbury's Hollywood Flawless Filter, which triples as a foundation, highlighter and primer-but now a new glow giver has entered the chat-and TikTok reckons it's the ultimate swap. Right now, the trendy look is dewy, Hailey Bieber-Esque glazed foundation looks and to achieve this look, liquid highlighters and glow-enhancers have become a must-have. If so, there are other, less risky and more skin-friendly options out there.As a lover of dewy, natural-looking makeup and the entire ' clean girl’ aesthetic for that matter, I just had to try out TikTok's viral e.l.f Halo Glow Liquid Filter and it's truly changed my makeup game and saved me a small fortune in the process. These are all theories, far from proven facts, but we feel that there are some justified reasons why formaldehyde-releasing preservatives and Dmdm Hydantoin count as controversial.Īll in all, it's up to you to decide if you wanna avoid this preservative group or not. Another potential issue is that formaldehyde-releasers might also release other things while reacting with amino acids in the skin that is probably the explanation why some people are not allergic to formaldehyde but are allergic to formaldehyde-releasing preservatives. The lingering formaldehyde might be toxic to the Langerhans Cells that are important for the skin's defense system. However, Colins argues that in the case of formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, formaldehyde is released slowly and the skin has probably not evolved to deal with that. Probably that is why the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Broad concluded both in 1988 and in 2008 that DMDM Hydantoin is ' safe as used in cosmetics'. The amount of formaldehyde used in cosmetics either neat or through formaldehyde-releasing preservatives is tiny. Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer
