e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter

I am still so amazed by this phenomenal product even months after I received it!! My use of the one word “WOW” is really all you need to know lol. I’ve tried sooooo many other products claiming to give you that “dewy, glowy” look without making you look greasy and oily…but sadly, they always did, and until I found this AMAZING product, I was only wasting more of my hard-earned money on more pricey products that promised the moon when all they ever delivered was grease/oil on my face! Yuck! So of course I was a bit skeptical about giving this product a chance, but I do overall like most e.l.f. products (yes, I admit I’ve used some pretty bad ones from them, but hopefully by now they’ve improved those previous low-quality products I had tried; I mean, haven’t we all basically experienced disappointment with pretty much every mainstream beauty brand we try out? AT LEAST once, anyway)? Well, back to this product review. Thought I’d give it a try too because I’ve also always loved e.l.f.’s prices, and figured if I didn’t like it, I could just return it anyway and it’s not like I’d be out tons of money if for some reason I couldn’t return it. I think the e.l.f. brand has also became so much more successful and big not only to growing the selection of its products but also improving their quality. In addition, a huge part of their success (imo anyways) is that they’ve always stayed pretty true to their price range/category for their products (and that price category is wayyyyy more affordable for pretty much ANY woman – YAY FOR US AND YAY FOR E.L.F.)!! This product comes in a heavier glass bottle, so you have to be a bit careful not to drop and break it (duhhh I know but had to mention it)! But it’s also partially heavy not because of just the glass bottle but also because you get a decent amount of the actual product inside the bottle! I have tons of other similar products, most though are in fairly small tubes; sure, they can’t break like glass bottles can but they also don’t hold a nice amount of product like this one does. Granted, you don’t need a ton of highlighter in general; one doesn’t want to look like they just walked through some type of weird glitter factory (btw, absolutely NO GLITTER in this, not even a tiny trace of any, so yayyyy!) – but again, just emphasizing how much product you get for the price and what a great value it is compared to most others I’ve tried, which is a big deal to me (I’m not super rich lol, and affordable, amazing products are very hard to come by, as I think most of us can relate to). The very first time I used this product, I hadn’t had much sleep the night before (I struggle with severe insomnia; I have for decades), and I admit I pretty much looked like a severely hung-over person would look lol. I splashed some cool water on my face (I was soooo exhausted!) and grabbed my new bottle of e.l.f.’s glowy “magic-in-a-bottle” (what I like to call it at times, ha!), and thought “what the heck, I’ll try it because I really can’t look much worse than I do now!” I had some hope but not a ton of it as I opened up that glass bottle. Then I began to use the larger doe foot applicator (it comes with the product) to apply a few various-sized dots on my face (about the sizes of nickels and dimes, etc.). I thought the applicator was pretty easy to use and it smoothly applied a good, decent amount of product to my face. I dotted the liquid onto my chin, cheeks, around/under my eyes (careful not to get too close to my eyes, common sense), a bit along the bridge of my nose, my forehead, and then my temple areas. Basically my entire face lol. Now mind you I skipped any kind of actual specific primers, moisturizers, etc. before applying this product as I really wanted to see exactly how it looked on my skin without anything but that on it! Normally I do apply moisturizer, primer, sunscreen, etc. (when I applied those on later before this product, it didn’t change how wonderfully beautiful it still worked and looked on my face)! I didn’t wait too long to start carefully and gently rubbing the liquid into my skin before it could dry (if you like to take a bit more time applying, like I do sometimes, then I just apply the product one section of my face at a time and get the same great results). The liquid feels silky, a bit thin but not too much or watery, and blended in nicely just using my fingers (I really don’t use spongey applicators to blend my face makeup, as I get too impatient and constantly have to wash them – they grow and spread bacteria way too much, too often, something I’d rather avoid altogether – so, usually I just use my fingers and wash my hands a lot right then and there of course). Once everything was well blended and my skin had absorbed every last drop of the product, I could not, absolutely could NOT believe my eyes! Or my other senses! My face has never “glowed” or looked so naturally “dewy” EVER! I had FINALLY achieved the perfect glowy/dewy look I’d wanted for so long and waited forever for! Note: keep in mind, a little of this stuff can go a long way depending on the look you are trying to achieve and/or how much liquid make-up products you prefer to apply onto your face). Surprisingly it actually did provide some actual, slight coverage on my face too (just enough to make my skin look flawless, which is perfect)! I’m actually still in shock lol. My identical twin sister, who never liked that “dewy” look, couldn’t even resist it herself after seeing me wear it every day – she finally gave in and uses it all the time now – she absolutely loves it! I also love the fact that you can wear it under your regular face makeup too, use it as a glowy primer, or, just only wear it with no other make-up products (like on those days when you just want a tiny bit of coverage and/or glow/dewyness, but don’t feel like doing your entire makeup routine…because let’s face it, ladies…there are just some days when the last thing we want to go through is our usual, sometimes pretty time-consuming makeup “rituals”)! On days like those (which are happening more and more as I get older, ugh!) I would much rather just apply a little bit of whatever, like this perfect glowy skin perfector, before running out the door to face the day! If you don’t have a makeup routine? Cool! You can still quickly just dab this on your face, rub it in, and end up wherever you’re going on time but this time you’ll not only be on time, you’ll also be an extremely, extra-glowing beauty! I’m serious, even if I had to be cheesy there 🙂 (yes, this product is THAT PHENOMENAL and I am NOT writing this review for ANYTHING in return; wanted to make that very clear). Also:
My skin is combo, but mostly dry. It can get pretty oily in my T-zone area by the latter part of the day. But with this product I just glow and keep glowing, and dew dew dew it all day long, lol, NO LIE!! (Oops! Dang it, sorry about the cheesiness again! Lol)! I never have to reapply it either, which is wonderful. It’s perfect for wearing on a cozy weekend snuggled up with your significant other when you still wanna look gorgeous and sexy but don’t want to put on a lot of makeup etc. With this, I can just skip the primer and even the moisturizer (but I still try to at least get some sunscreen in there, which we all know is very important), which saves me a ton of time and it also allows me to be able to go out to run errands, etc. without worrying about my makeup/skin/how I look! And for such an affordable price it’s a very rare value!! Believe me, please, when I say that this product is true “magic-in-a-bottle” that smashes all those other similar products to bits! I’m so confident about this product that I just felt I HAD to finally write a review (after using it for months now with so many positive experiences wearing it). I want all women to know that they CAN, VERY EASILY, get that perfect, model-like, airbrushed, naked, glowing, dewy, no-makeup look without looking oily and greasy all day – that look which I had literally given up on ever looking like and blaming it on my skin or just thinking something was wrong with me lol – it’s obviously the products we choose to wear, NOT us! I feel so naturally beautiful when wearing this and I’ve had so many people, even strangers, compliment me on my skin and ask how they could get their skin to look so youthful and glowing exactly like mine. And, get this – one was an actual, genuine pretty physician herself who asked me!! She asked me to write down what the product was so she could get a bottle of her own “magic”! NOT KIDDING!! Ok, so I apologize how long this review got, and if you made it this far, kudos to you! Like I said, I just REALLY want to share my success with this product and give e.l.f. a great review of course! And I’m not “sexist” etc. either – hey, ANY HUMAN BEING can and will love using this if they want that youthful, glowy/dewy look! Give it a try! If you don’t like it, obviously you can return it, and if you somehow miss the return deadline or something, you won’t be kicking yourself because it’s such an affordable beauty product! All you have to gain is gorgeous, glowing, jaw-dropping skin and no need to wear any other makeup unless you want to! Sometimes I’ll rub in e.l.f.’s liquid blush in Rose to Slay and use their glowing contour and highlighting tubes in fair to light, Candlelit Campaign, etc. for a bit more beautiful, natural color to my face. I absolutely love love love these 3 e.l.f. products!! 5/5 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This formula is SO GOOD. I’ve gone through so many foundations in my makeup wearing days and this one truly is incredible. It feels so light but gives good coverage. It’s not a full coverage foundation but that’s exactly what I wanted. It allows for concealer and bronzer to not look so caked on after this is applied as a base and looks more like natural skin. Goes on smoothly and is a really good price.

I have been using this product for a few weeks now and I am very impressed with the results. It is a lightweight liquid that adds a subtle glow to my skin without looking greasy or glittery. It also hydrates and smooths my skin, thanks to the hyaluronic acid and other nourishing ingredients.

I use this product in two ways: as a primer and as a highlighter. As a primer, I apply a thin layer all over my face after moisturizing and before foundation. It gives me a natural-looking radiance that shines through my makeup. It also helps my foundation glide on smoothly and last longer.

As a highlighter, I dab a small amount on the high points of my face, such as my cheekbones, brow bones, nose, and cupid’s bow. It adds a beautiful dimension and glow to my face without being too obvious or overpowering. It blends easily with my fingers or a sponge and does not disturb my makeup.

The product comes in three shades: white gold, rose gold, and golden peach. I have fair skin with cool undertones and I use the white gold shade. It suits my skin tone perfectly and does not look too yellow or pink. The other shades might work better for warmer or deeper skin tones.

The packaging is simple but elegant. It is a glass bottle with a pump dispenser and a silver cap. The pump is easy to control and dispenses the right amount of product. The bottle is sturdy and travel-friendly.

The price is very reasonable for the quality and quantity of the product. It is $10 for 0.85 oz (25 ml), which is cheaper than many similar products from other brands. It is also vegan and cruelty-free, which is a plus for me.

Overall, I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to add some glow and hydration to their skin. It is versatile, easy to use, and affordable. It is one of my favorite products from e.l.f. and I will definitely repurchase it when I run out.

It’s super light weight and whilst the images make it look dark it’s actually a perfect shade match to my very pale skin, it’s super glowy but not in a sparkly way more like summer glow from within . It’s not really got much coverage to it at all though it really only acts as a highlighter but it does blend out quite nicely. Overall the quality of the product is really good and I’m super happy with it.

The e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter is a game-changer for those seeking a natural, dewy complexion without the heaviness of a traditional foundation. I use powder foundation often, but it’s not as dewy or glowy as this product or a liquid foundation in general. With a lot of my friends saying this is is perfect balance between coverage and comfort, I was eager to put this product to the test.

The first thing that struck me about the e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter is its sheer coverage and lightweight finish. It glides onto the skin effortlessly, giving a light wash of color to even out the skin tone. I use concealer to cover up dark marks and my hormonal acne. I love wearing this everyday because of its lightweight formula is a breath of fresh air compared to heavy foundations that can leave your skin feeling suffocated.

One of the standout features of this product is its ability to deliver a radiant glow that looks both natural and healthy. It’s like capturing the perfect “lit-from-within” look without the need for highlighters, foundation, or a lot of extra products. It’s really a one and done! The subtle shimmer in the formula catches the light beautifully, giving your skin a luminous boost that lasts all day.

The only downside is the limited shade range. While the e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter is a wonderful option for those with medium-toned skin, it falls short in accommodating individuals with darker or paler complexions. This oversight is disappointing, as makeup should be inclusive and accessible to everyone.

In conclusion, the e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter is a fantastic choice for those who want a sheer, lightweight, and radiant finish that’s leagues ahead of heavy foundations. It effortlessly achieves a natural and healthy glow that enhances your beauty. However, e.l.f. needs to seriously expand its shade range to cater to a broader spectrum of skin tones, so that everyone can enjoy this glowing sensation!
