WHY Flawless Filter is the best beauty product of the decade
Is it a primer? Highlighter? Foundation? Charlotte calls it a ‘Complexion Booster’ - in other words, it’s a hybrid of those three things. Why is it the best beauty product of the decade? Let me count the ways.
As mentioned above, this product is a triple threat. Use it under foundation (or mixed in) to add a subtle glow, pinpoint highlight over foundation or my personal favourite, all on its own - WARNING: Only use it in this last way if you like your skin to look GLOSSY.
The glow this product gives is outstanding. I have experienced way too many products that appear to give a great glow...until I get into direct sunlight and see chunky glitter. Charlotte describes it as a lit from within glow and it’s so accurate.
Now hold up, yes this product only has 7 shades, and yes, Charlotte Tilbury is not the greatest brand for shade range (she has 15 shades in her Magic Foundation, which is NOT acceptable for such a successful brand). HOWEVER, highlighting products are often the ones with the least shade range. Most only have about three - silvery or pink for pale skins, champagne for olive tones and golds for deep skin tones. Now highlighters can get away with a reduced shade range because they are designed to be less pigmented than a product such as foundation, so you don’t tend to hear much (if any) uproar when a brand releases a highlighter in two tones. FF could do with a couple more darker shades, but it’s definitely one of the brands more inclusive products.
This is a controversial one, but lovingly swiping the product on with that MASSIVE doe foot applicator is oddly satisfying. If you’re a germaphobe, (I’m clearly not) swipe it on the back of your hand and stop complaining.
