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
  • • Brightening dark circles with a natural, luminous finish
  • • Dry under-eyes that need a creamy concealer
  • • Shoppers who want one concealer to conceal, highlight and contour
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
  • Luminous, creamy finish that the brand says instantly brightens the under-eye area
  • Buildable medium coverage that can also highlight and contour
  • Brand claims 16-hour, crease-resistant and transfer-resistant wear
Watch-outs

  • Light coverage; not a foundation replacement for covering blemishes
  • $36 for only 6 ml
  • Some users find the shade range leans too yellow
