Okay, folks, let’s dive right into my little experiment with the elf Halo Glow Liquid Filter. I’ve been seeing this product everywhere, and you know I had to see what the hype was all about.
So, I grabbed a bottle of this stuff. First off, the packaging is pretty standard, nothing too fancy, but it gets the job done. I picked up shade 5, which is like a medium tan, to use all over my face. The idea here is to give your skin that nice, sheer tint, you know, that “I woke up like this” glow. It’s not really a foundation, not really a highlighter, but somewhere in between. They call it a “complexion booster,” which sounds about right.
I also got shade 1, the fair one, to use as a bit of a highlight. I’ve heard people say this stuff is great for dry or mature skin because it’s super hydrating. Mine is on the drier side, so I was pretty stoked to try it out. When I first squeezed some out, it looked pretty liquidy, which I liked. It’s supposed to give you that radiant look without being too heavy or cakey.
Application Time
I started by applying the shade 5 all over. I just used my fingers because I wanted to see how it felt without any brushes or sponges. Honestly, it blended out pretty smoothly. It felt really light on my skin, which is a big plus for me. I don’t like feeling like I’m wearing a ton of makeup. It definitely gave my skin a nice, even tone and a subtle glow. Nothing too crazy, just a nice, healthy sheen.
- First Step: Applied shade 5 all over my face with my fingers.
- Second Step: Blended it out; it was super easy and smooth.
- Third Step: Noticed a nice, even tone and a subtle, healthy glow.
Next, I dabbed a bit of shade 1 on my cheekbones, the bridge of my nose, and my cupid’s bow. This was to see if it could really work as a highlighter too. And you know what? It did a pretty good job! It gave me that soft-focus, filter-like effect that they advertise. It’s like having a real-life Instagram filter on your face. Not bad at all.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I’m pretty impressed with the elf Halo Glow Liquid Filter. It lived up to the hype, at least for me. It’s a great multi-purpose product that gives you a radiant, healthy glow without feeling heavy. Plus, it’s super hydrating, which is awesome for anyone with dry skin. I can see myself using this a lot, especially on those days when I want a natural, “no-makeup” makeup look.
So, if you’re looking for something to boost your complexion and give you that lit-from-within glow, I’d say give this a shot. It’s affordable, it’s easy to use, and it actually works. What more could you ask for?
