![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When I wear the CT flawless filter, I almost always top it with a half pump of foundation, whereas with the ELF formula, I use is as a foundation (I do add a little concealer and top with pressed powder). I use the CT flawless filterwhen I’m shooting photos or video content or going out and I use the ELF Halo Glow on days I’m not shooting or staying mostly at home for a very light/natural makeup look. I love both formulas and due to their respective price points, I now use them in different ways/for different occasions. Is luminous, but more like a mix of an illuminator and lightweight foundation.Blends beautifully – to the point above, when I have self tanner on, though it’s darker than my CT formula, it blends perfectly and gives my skin some warmth.Without using self-tanner, I’m not sure it wouldn’t be too warm/dark on me. Color range not as strong as CT – even their lightest shade (what I use) is darker than I’d like.Looks great on its own, or under foundation.IMO, comes in a better/wider range of shades – especially if you’re fair.Is slightly more luminous than ELF’s formula.Now that we're clear on the key ingredients, here are a few editors' honest reviews.I made a reel comparing these two formulas recently but thought this deserved a permanent spot on the blog as well since so many are curious about how these formulas compare.Ĭharlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter While on the topic of soothing, King can't help but call out damask rose water, "a soothing, oil-toning ingredient" for the skin. Bixa orellana seeds, which are " antioxidant-rich and soothing for the skin," says King. Two other noteworthy components make this foundation a great option for those with sensitive and irritable skin. "This not only helps the skin look beautiful but also helps it function at its best." That makes it the perfect star ingredient for this hydrating foundation. If you don't already know, hyaluronic acid "is great at holding water and giving skin resilience and firmness," New York City-based board-certified dermatologist Doris Day, M.D., previously told Allure. Its coconut extract and cassia angustifolia seeds are both a "hydrating and a natural source of hyaluronic acid," King says. I wasn't leaving the apartment in 18-degree weather, so what the heck, right? Thankfully, the speedy Charlottle Tilbury team shipped me a new (and lighter) shade selection, giving the liquid foundation a second first impression with a full day's wear - in and out of the apartment.īefore getting into what is frankly a love letter for this formulation, I'll let cosmetic chemist Ginger King get into the nitty-gritty of this foundation's hydrating ingredients. It promised hydrating, non-greasy wear with a dewy finish, so I couldn't contain my excitement after securing two different shades, which I quickly realized were a tad too dark for my pale, winter skin but continued to apply anyway. That said, my expectations for the new Beautiful Skin Foundation, which launched on January 4 in 30 shades, were set to an all-time high. Because I'm on a confession streak, it's also worth noting there have been some extremely admirable foundation launches over the past few months. ![]()
