Grace’s Review of Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter
• The product: Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter, £39.00 in Shade 3
I’ve been a fan of this product for years, I like to use it as my base, as a replacement of my foundation. I like how light it feels on the skin and the natural finish. The texture is super creamy and blends like a dream, I like to use a BeautyBlender but I think a brush would do the work too. It works perfectly with my other makeup products, on a daily basis I like to keep I simple with cream bronzer and concealer on top and then go over with powders.
I wear this product almost everyday and I never notice it fading or wearing off throughout the day. Just like my other Charlotte Tilbury products, it doesn’t move once I’ve applied it. Even though I like the dewy, glowy finish of the product, I usually lean toward a matte finish with a setting powder at the end of my makeup.
Lauren’s Review of Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter
• The product: Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter, £39.00 in Shade 7
Hollywood Flawless Filter is a staple in my makeup bag, I love how lightweight it is and the glow it gives my skin. The texture is very creamy and I find that it applied really smoothly, I didn’t experience any pilling or patchiness and I found that it wore well with my contour, blush and powder. One of my favourite things about this product is how blendable it is, it’s the perfect base product to do a quick makeup look when you need to be out the door quickly.
I personally like to use this product by itself like a tinted moisturiser, I find that when I use it paired with a foundation, the finish is not as smooth as when I wear it on its own. As a general rule, I’m more of a skin tint and tinted moisturiser type of person, rather than foundation. I like a more lightweight base that still shows my skin.
Hanitra’s Review of Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter
• The product: Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter, £39.00 in Shade 5
Like many people, Flawless Filter is a staple in my makeup bag, I don’t use it everyday but I like to have it for those days when my skin needs some extra help. I like how sheer it is, and it just has a dreamy luminous finish that makes it look like I got more sleep than I actually did. Unsurprisingly, it sits really well under the rest of my makeup. I usually wear this product when I do a full glam and I always get compliments about my makeup everytime I wear it.
It's not a product that I would choose for its coverage, I have some hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and if I only wear this, it doesn’t fully cover them. But I like how easy it is to build up the coverage with a foundation or a concealer. I think it’s one of those products that will compliment anyone’s skin, no matter how they wear it.
The team's verdict on Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter
Pros: It works well on its own or with a foundation, you can wear it whether you like your makeup to look natural or more elevated, it will make your skin nice and glowy either way.
Who is it not suitable for: if your skin is on the oily side, make sure to finish off your makeup with a mattifying powder. There’s a fine line between looking glowy and oily, so just make sure you finish off your makeup with something like the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish, £39.00.
