Insane
Revolution make my absolute favourite highlighters but this shade has to be my absolute favourite. I love using it around my eyes as it really makes them stand out. It also adds a lovely pink glow to my cheeks that I’m just obsessed with. My only complaint would be that it broke VERY easily and so a lot of product was lost. Despite this, it has still lasted me absolutely ages so while not ideal not the end of the world.

Perfect for daily wear
This is one of my favourite parts of my daily makeup routine! It creates the most beautiful glow and gets me the most compliments. However, although it may perhaps just be my skin tone I do find that at times it can be quite orange which isn’t ideal so I do currently only use it as a liquid highlighter. Would definitely still recommend!

patchy, lack of shades
this actually EFFED up my skin so bad i had the worst fungal acne after using this. i does give a really pretty glow to the skin but it was far from my shade match (my own fault lol). there simply wasn’t enough shades to chose from. also it expires so quickly and then starts to smell really bad…!!!

Great warm toned highlighter
If you remember the Amrezy x Anastasia highlighter, this gives me that type of glow. The glitter particles are finer, sorta delicate and elegant. My complexion is a warm, yellow-ish skin tone. I typically use products more suited for neutral undertones. If that sounds like you, you should really view this IRL to admire all its beauty.

Elf halo glow
I tried the elf halo glow liquid filter but found that wearing it as a base made my skin look oily rather than glowy. However I think the product would be perfect for under make up or as a highlighter! Overall the product was not bad, just not to my preference.

Rimmel Multitasker
This Rimmel multitasker better than filters primer, highlighter and glow booster is perfect for when you want a skin tint but don’t want to wear heavy makeup. The wand makes application easy and the product has a lovely glow but is not too shiny/ greasy looking.

The perfect sparkle✨
Lucky to have got my hands on one of these for free and I can honestly say I'll be buying all 3 shades! the natural glow of this liquid highlighter is shocking and the application tip is so easy to use! I can't wait to see the effect of the other two shades😍

Amazing product
This is a great product which is so easy to use I love using this as a highlighter and eyeshadow topper.The only thing I didn't like too much is it is a very glittery product so rather that an shimmer it can look very glittery if too much is applied.

Love it
The e.l.f. Halo Glow Highlighter is such an amazing product! It gives a soft, natural glow to your skin without being too shiny or sparkly. It blends easily and feels lightweight on the skin. I love how it adds a healthy, radiant look to my face. It’s also affordable, making it a good option for anyone looking for a highlighter on a budget!

Lumi
For me, it's a great product for people who want a natural, delicate look. I apply it to my entire face, neck and décolleté and my skin looks radiant and delicately shimmers. I recommend using it like this or as an addition to full make-up to give it shine.

A Game-Changer for Radiant Skin
I’m so impressed with the e.l.f. Halo Glow Filter! This product has quickly become a staple in my makeup routine. It gives my skin the most gorgeous, natural glow without feeling heavy or greasy. The formula is lightweight and blends effortlessly, making it perfect for all skin types, including my combination skin. What I love most is how it creates that “lit-from-within” look, enhancing my complexion without being too shimmery or over the top. It’s subtle yet makes a noticeable difference — my skin looks healthier, smoother, and more radiant. I’ve used it both as a primer underneath foundation and as a standalone product for a more minimal, glowing look, and both ways work beautifully. The packaging is also sleek and practical, with a pump that dispenses just the right amount of product. The price point is unbeatable for the quality you get, making it such a great value. If you’re looking for a glow that feels fresh and natural, not artificial or glittery, this is definitely worth trying. It’s become my go-to for that flawless, dewy finish!

Lovely
I really like this foundation. It's quite sheer but it leaves a beautiful finish on the skin. It would be better with a pump but otherwise it lasts all day and they have shades for olive under tones which is a huge bonus!. I'd reccomend this to anyone who wants a more natural look. If you're looking for full coverage then this isn't for you

Blush, glow and go!
Perfect highlighter, not too subtle but won’t be blinding those around you! Great for adding a pop of rosy colour to those cheeks with added sparkle, while still looking relatively quite natural! It’s definitely my new favourite pink highlighter, I’m sure it will be yours too!

Very good
Been told is a good dupe for Charlotte tilbury. I love it it lasts all day and can be build up. It is not full coverage however as you do see some imperfections and can look a little orange and shiny. However issues are early fixable with other products
