e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter, Complexion Booster For A Glowing, Soft-Focus Look, Infused With Hyaluronic Acid, Vegan & Cruelty-Free, 0.5 Fair

I am still so amazed by this phenomenal product even months after I received it!! My use of the one word "WOW" is really all you need to know lol. I've tried sooooo many other products claiming to give you that "dewy, glowy" look without making you look greasy and oily...but sadly, they always did, and until I found this AMAZING product, I was only wasting more of my hard-earned money on more pricey products that promised the moon when all they ever delivered was grease/oil on my face! Yuck! So of course I was a bit skeptical about giving this product a chance, but I do overall like most e.l.f. products (yes, I admit I've used some pretty bad ones from them, but hopefully by now they've improved those previous low-quality products I had tried; I mean, haven't we all basically experienced disappointment with pretty much every mainstream beauty brand we try out? AT LEAST once, anyway)? Well, back to this product review. Thought I'd give it a try too because I've also always loved e.l.f.'s prices, and figured if I didn't like it, I could just return it anyway and it's not like I'd be out tons of money if for some reason I couldn't return it.I think the e.l.f. brand has also became so much more successful and big not only to growing the selection of its products but also improving their quality. In addition, a huge part of their success (imo anyways) is that they've always stayed pretty true to their price range/category for their products (and that price category is wayyyyy more affordable for pretty much ANY woman - YAY FOR US AND YAY FOR E.L.F.)!! This product comes in a heavier glass bottle, so you have to be a bit careful not to drop and break it (duhhh I know but had to mention it)!But it's also partially heavy not because of just the glass bottle but also because you get a decent amount of the actual product inside the bottle! I have tons of other similar products, most though are in fairly small tubes; sure, they can't break like glass bottles can but they also don't hold a nice amount of product like this one does. Granted, you don't need a ton of highlighter in general; one doesn't want to look like they just walked through some type of weird glitter factory (btw, absolutely NO GLITTER in this, not even a tiny trace of any, so yayyyy!) - but again, just emphasizing how much product you get for the price and what a great value it is compared to most others I've tried, which is a big deal to me (I'm not super rich lol, and affordable, amazing products are very hard to come by, as I think most of us can relate to). The very first time I used this product, I hadn't had much sleep the night before (I struggle with severe insomnia; I have for decades), and I admit I pretty much looked like a severely hung-over person would look lol. I splashed some cool water on my face (I was soooo exhausted!) and grabbed my new bottle of e.l.f.'s glowy "magic-in-a-bottle" (what I like to call it at times, ha!), and thought "what the heck, I'll try it because I really can't look much worse than I do now!"I had some hope but not a ton of it as I opened up that glass bottle. Then I began to use the larger doe foot applicator (it comes with the product) to apply a few various-sized dots on my face (about the sizes of nickels and dimes, etc.).I thought the applicator was pretty easy to use and it smoothly applied a good, decent amount of product to my face. Idotted the liquid onto my chin, cheeks, around/under my eyes (careful not to get too close to my eyes, common sense), a bit along the bridge of my nose, my forehead, and then my temple areas. Basically my entire face lol. Now mind you I skipped any kind of actual specific primers, moisturizers, etc. before applying this product as I really wanted to see exactly how it looked on my skin without anything but that on it! Normally I do apply moisturizer, primer, sunscreen, etc. (when I applied those on later before this product, it didn't change how wonderfully beautiful it still worked and looked on my face)!I didn't wait too long to start carefully and gently rubbing the liquid into my skin before it could dry (if you like to take a bit more time applying, like I do sometimes, then I just apply the product one section of my face at a time and get the same great results). The liquid feels silky, a bit thin but not too much or watery, and blended in nicely just using my fingers (I really don't use spongey applicators to blend my face makeup, as I get too impatient and constantly have to wash them - they grow and spread bacteria way too much, too often, something I'd rather avoid altogether - so, usually I just use my fingers and wash my hands a lot right then and there of course).Once everything was well blended and my skin had absorbed every last drop of the product, I could not, absolutely could NOT believe my eyes! Or my other senses! My face has never "glowed" or looked so naturally "dewy" EVER! I had FINALLY achieved the perfect glowy/dewy look I'd wanted for so long and

The e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter is a game-changer for those seeking a natural, dewy complexion without the heaviness of a traditional foundation. I use powder foundation often, but it's not as dewy or glowy as this product or a liquid foundation in general. With a lot of my friends saying this is is perfect balance between coverage and comfort, I was eager to put this product to the test.The first thing that struck me about the e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter is its sheer coverage and lightweight finish. It glides onto the skin effortlessly, giving a light wash of color to even out the skin tone. I use concealer to cover up dark marks and my hormonal acne. I love wearing this everyday because of its lightweight formula is a breath of fresh air compared to heavy foundations that can leave your skin feeling suffocated.One of the standout features of this product is its ability to deliver a radiant glow that looks both natural and healthy. It's like capturing the perfect "lit-from-within" look without the need for highlighters, foundation, or a lot of extra products. It's really a one and done! The subtle shimmer in the formula catches the light beautifully, giving your skin a luminous boost that lasts all day.The only downside is the limited shade range. While the e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter is a wonderful option for those with medium-toned skin, it falls short in accommodating individuals with darker or paler complexions. This oversight is disappointing, as makeup should be inclusive and accessible to everyone.In conclusion, the e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter is a fantastic choice for those who want a sheer, lightweight, and radiant finish that's leagues ahead of heavy foundations. It effortlessly achieves a natural and healthy glow that enhances your beauty. However, e.l.f. needs to seriously expand its shade range to cater to a broader spectrum of skin tones, so that everyone can enjoy this glowing sensation!

Obsessed with this. Gives my skin a perfect glow (even with dry skin) and sheer coverage without feeling cakey or thick on my face. Comfortable to wear and makes my skin look so much better. I’ve heard it’s a Charlotte Tilbury dupe, I’ll never know cuz I don’t have that $$ and this product + price is amazing. Highly recommend
