Video reviews
Best for
  • • 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
  • • Oily and combination skin that wants a lightweight matte base
  • • Long days that call for waterproof, long-wearing coverage
  • • Shoppers who struggled to find a neutral or olive match before
Strengths
  • 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
  • 50 all-new shades with more neutral undertones and seven olive-leaning options
  • Lightweight natural matte finish that editors say never felt mask-like
  • Medium coverage builds toward full without looking heavy, according to reviewers
Watch-outs
  • 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
  • Not fully transfer-proof in one editor's week of testing
  • Matte finish can look dry on drier areas unless skin is well moisturized
