Video reviews
Best for
  • • Normal to dry skin that wants a glowy, skin-like base
  • • Shoppers who want SPF and skincare ingredients in their foundation
  • • Radiant-finish fans who don't mind fragrance
  • • Budget shoppers who want a glowy, soft-focus base
  • • Dry or dull skin that wants radiance under or over makeup
  • • Anyone who wants to try the liquid-filter look before spending more
Strengths
  • Light, fluid texture that editors say blends seamlessly without feeling heavy
  • Buildable coverage with a natural, dewy glow
  • 42 shades across six undertones, including warm-olive options
  • Very low price for a glow booster often compared with Charlotte Tilbury
  • Four ways to wear: alone, under makeup, mixed in or as highlighter
  • 15 shades covering fair to rich skin
Watch-outs
  • Alcohol is the second ingredient and the formula contains fragrance
  • Reviewers saw fading by eight hours or a rubbery feel by evening despite the 24-hour claim
  • Brand recommends extra primer and powder on oily skin to keep the glow from reading as shine
  • Light coverage; not a foundation replacement for covering blemishes
