elf 8.5 (Wealthy Impartial Heat) Halo Glow Liquid Filter Assessment & Swatches

Method Overview

$14.00/1.06 oz. – $13.21 Per Ounce

The method is billed as a “multi-purpose, liquid glow booster” that offers a “soft-focus” filter. It may be used by itself, over or beneath make-up, blended with basis, or as a standalone highlighter. It lived as much as its claims, was simple to make use of, and did not impede the damage of merchandise I paired it with.

It labored so as to add all-over radiance when utilized as a sheer layer over naked pores and skin. I agree with the model’s advice to use it throughout with a sponge, as this ensured a really even, hydrated software that allowed me to construct up the extent of luminosity. It blended effectively with thinner and thicker, sheerer and fuller protection foundations with out shortening their longevity or making them exhausting to use.

As a standalone highlighter, they utilized effectively with fingertips or brushes, although I discovered the simplest manner to make sure over-application (that doe-foot is large!) was to faucet a bit on the again of my hand, then use a fingertip or stippling brush to use to the excessive factors of my face. I did not have any points with the method lifting up base merchandise.

It is rather akin to Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter (which additionally has a number of different comparable opponents in the marketplace), although I would say the elf model has much less of a fluid, skinny really feel. I feel this helped it work higher with thinner foundations in addition to thicker, greater protection formulations, and I did not really feel prefer it made something higher or worse–neutral–when used by itself or utilized on the pores and skin. At most, just a little went a bit additional so far as radiance and protection went, than HFF.
