CHARLOTTE TILBURRY FLAWLESS FILTER FOUNDATION SKIN

I’m going to be completely honest – I didn’t really like this when I first started using it. The Becca primer is truly meant to be a primer used under foundation where the metallic glow shows through, but the lightness of the shade is covered by the pigments of the foundation. As you can see below, the Becca primer is a lot lighter compared to Shade 4 of the HFF, as well as more metallic. Before I bought this, I wondered if I could use it similarly to the Becca Backlight Priming Filter. There is no shimmer in this, just a pearly sheen, so I find that it does not emphasize texture or pores. In terms of consistency, this is quite thick, but as I mentioned before it sheers out to barely there coverage.

With that being said, I think the brand needs to release some shades for deep skin tones. Of course, if you are very fair, things aren’t going to go well if you decide to buy Shade 7, but you could get away with using either Shade 1 or 2. It’s actually not a necessity to find an exact shade match in this product, just because of how sheer this formula is. In an industry where it is now expected for brands to have 40-50 foundation shades, it might seem alarming that the Hollywood Flawless Filter only has seven shades. I mostly apply the HFF by using the doefoot applicator to wipe some product onto the back of my hand, which I think is the most hygienic way to use it.

It’s just not as hygienic as a pump or tube applicator. I understand the reasoning behind the packaging, but I personally don’t love it. I believe this packaging makes it easier to use the Hollywood Flawless Filter as a highlighter, so you can use the doefoot applicator to apply strategically to the high points of the face. Surprisingly, the packaging is different from most primers or foundations in that it doesn’t come with a pump, but a giant doe-foot applicator. The Hollywood Flawless Filter comes in a glass bottle with a rose gold lid. It can be purchased at Sephora, Beautylish, Nordstrom, and the Charlotte Tilbury website. I have tried using this in a multitude of ways – by itself, under foundation, over foundation, and mixed with foundation, which I’ll go into more detail later. The description of how this product is meant to be used pretty vague, as a “complexion enhancer” could mean anything – it sounds like it can be worn as a primer, highlighter, or mixed with foundation. The Hollywood Flawless Filter comes in seven shades. Inspired by the perfecting lens of social media filters, ingredients help to soften focus, illuminate skin, and make lines and pores appear smoother. This can be used as a primer, highlighter, or can be mixed with your foundation to get a perfected dewy finish or glow. The Hollywood Flawless Filter is a liquid tinted complexion booster for a superstar youthful glow. After testing it for a few months, I’m finally ready to review this!įor reference, I have dry skin, and when it comes to base products, I tend to go for something glowy that will not cling to any dry patches. Over the summer, I redeemed 2,500 Sephora points for a $100 gift card, and I used the gift card to purchase this. Hello, dear friends! Today’s post is a review all about the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter, quite possibly one of the celebrity makeup artist’s most popular products in her current lineup.
