Charlotte Tilbury’s ‘free’ foundation makes mature skin ‘look younger’

Charlotte Tilbury boasts numerous cult favourite products, and it’s highly likely the Hollywood Flawless Filter springs to mind when considering the brand. Pledging to deliver a flawlessly radiant complexion, the primer/highlighter/foundation hybrid offers a ‘real life filter effect’ with sheer, luminous coverage.

Its versatility makes it appropriate for numerous users, as it can be applied alone, beneath, blended with or over foundation. Airbrush polymers combined with light moisturising glossy oil work to smooth skin, whilst finely milled powders help blur the appearance of fine lines and pores, additionally, porcelain flower extract brightens.

Charlotte Tilbury’s range is packed with premium, high-end performing products, which naturally means they typically fall towards the pricier end of the spectrum. Nevertheless, there’s a method to obtain a £15 travel-size bottle of the Hollywood Flawless Filter without spending a penny.

On the Charlotte Tilbury website, the shade match feature effectively matches skin tone, with one customer leaving a review stating: “This product is so amazing and it makes my skin look so clear and glowy without it looking like a lot of makeup. I love it and would absolutely recommend. Also the shade match for me was perfect”, reports the Mirror.

Another well-liked foundation hybrid is the Kylie Cosmetics Skin Tint Blurring Elixir Foundation, selling for £27 at Boots.

Returning to Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter, it has been rated 4.6 out of five by 6,636 people on the Charlotte Tilbury website. A satisfied customer said: “Bought this product and it’s the best thing I’ve ever bought for my makeup. Literally makes my makeup flawless!”

Another person noted its suitability for all ages, writing: “Started using this last year and what a lovely finish you get no caking or lying in lines. Excellent for a mature skin.”

However, it may not be to everyone’s liking as another individual noted: “I have always wanted to try this product and it wasn’t as I expected, everyone raves about it but I prefer the spotlight beauty wand, I used it over the beautiful skin foundation on my cheek bones and maybe I didn’t put enough on but I applied a small amount twice and could hardly see it, I use a beauty blender to blend it in and next time will try my fingers to see if there is any difference.”

Sharing that the foundation has anti-ageing effects, someone stated: “The flawless filter is amazing. It brightens up my face and I think it makes me look younger and fresh. So I recommend this to everybody I know.” And a doubtful customer remarked: “Amazing. Does what it says on the tin! I was dubious but this is a magic filter.”
