![]() ![]() Whether at first launch or with renewed interest from TikTok, each of Charlotte’s foundation formulas (there are four currently) have gone viral. ![]() Now, if you have deeper skin, finding a shade can be more difficult (and we’ll get into that more below), however her newest launches have become much more thoughtful and inclusive in their ranges and it is worth giving the formulas a chance. (Trust a redhead to create foundations for people of the pale persuasion.) The qualities of each product check all my boxes and each launch gets better than the last. And if I had to pick one favorite foundation brand, it would hands down be Charlotte Tilbury. Natural, soft focused and gorgeous! The Hollywood Flawless Filter is €40 in Brown Thomas or Arnotts or £30 on the Charlotte Tilbury website.I love a good foundation-that blank canvas to try any contour technique or blush shade imaginable-in a range of finishes and coverages to mix it up each day. Because it leaves an almost glossy finish on the skin, fans of a drier finish might like to apply a powder highlight over the top, but I love how it looks like a natural non sweaty sheen on my skin! As a highlight, it’s not a wow in your face finish, and I’ll be honest, I’m too old to wear the blinding highlights that are all over Instagram these days! This is more my type of sheen. I pat it in with my finger or with a makeup sponge and I’m good to go. Obsessed! Use over your foundation!Īgain, having to keep my oily bits in mind, when I’m using Hollywood Flawless Filter this way, I tend to keep it to my cheekbones, cupids bow, all non shiny areas really. Either way, healthy looking skin is minutes away! The photo below cuts out the application part so you can see the before and after easily. You could either dab both products on your face the way I have or apply them to the back of your hand and mix them there. For the photos here, I mixed it with the matte Giorgio Armani Power Fabric Foundation which made it look like my beloved Luminous Silk foundation! It helps give my foundations a natural dewiness that makes it look like skin and doesn’t affect the coverage levels either.īecause it’s not a runny product, it doesn’t change the texture of the bases I’ve mixed it with. This is my favourite way of using it and love how it makes my skin look. ![]() It gives a wonderful sheen to the skin but leaves it slightly tacky, and my oily girls out there will feel me in that I spend 42% of my life trying to not feel sticky or tacky! Use it mixed in with your foundation! For the photos, I applied it all over my face, but as an oily skinned person, I’d usually leave my nose and chin alone and keep it to the dryer parts of my face like my cheeks. As you can see in the photos above, it doesn’t add any coverage, so don’t assume it replaces your foundation. Used alone, Hollywood Flawless Filter gives instant radiance to the skin and if you want to go foundation-free for the day, but still want a bit of a glow, then you’re sorted. Described as a “customisable complexion booster for super starlit skin”, the Hollywood Flawless Filter can be used in a few different ways, and my scaldy face and I are ready to show it to you in action! Use it on its own or under foundation! Inside is a massive doe foot applicator that I totally forgot to photograph, but it’s huge and makes quick work of dabbing it where you need it. It’s pure luxury, but not very travel friendly, so you’d have to decant it if you wanted to bring it on holidays and not have to worry about the glass smashing. The glass bottle and rose gold lid is fierce weighty and absolutely gorgeous. I definitely used too much when I first started playing with it and ended up looking almost robotic, but as always, with Charlotte herself, less is more!Ĭoming in seven shades, this is shade 3 Light/Medium and can we have a second for the packaging…. I wasn’t sure how I felt about it initially and I think I’d have been raging to have not been instantly blown away with it the way everyone else seemed to have been. One of my most frequently asked questions is how I use Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter and while I’ve featured it in a couple of my one minute videos on Instagram, I thought a blog post might be a bit more helpful! Full disclosure, I was given this bottle to test out and I’m so grateful because for me, this was a grower. ![]()
