I loved it! it was a beautiful makeup product, I would buy it again. it goes smooth on the skin and for almost every skin type. I run out of it quickly and it is kind of expensive what is less. but it is worth the price, and a perfect present for a girl who loves make up.

Beam!
I bought this product, after a YouTuber I watch frequently used to constantly use the flexitarian highlighter. Never ordered from colourpop before. Ordered the highlighter and a few other bits. Gotta say I do like it! Its a strange feeling formula when you touch it, really cool to the touch and feels like it should be almost a cream or jelly maybe? But it's definitely a powder. You can apply a smaller amount and it's fairly subtle, but this is a highlight that likes to make itself seen. I know it's not so popular now to be blinding with highlight, but some of us still like it, and this is a great one for helping with that. Im not sure if it's still available. But if it is and you like a slight bit of tin man look to your makeup, you should definitely grab it and give it a try. 😊

My love for elf halo glow!
i use the elf halo glow and i can say it works wonderfully, it doesn’t make your face clumpy but it makes it glow, it makes it smooth and clear, and makes your face look refreshed. I will say it is also very true to color. I recommend this product because ive heard SO much about how good it is so that led me to try it and now i’m in love!!! If you want something new i definitely recommend this!

ABH contour cream
initially wasn't a fan of the product. However, after a bit of experimenting, I did end up liking it a lot but there are still some issues. I love the highlight shade for my undereye area, nose and forehead but it ran out so quickly and ABH have not brought out refills yet which is such a shame and meant that I had to resort to a cream highlighter alternative for the time being whilst still using the contour shades and waiting patiently for ABH to finally bring out the cream contour refills.

Egyptian Frost is my first…
I have this Skin Frost in the shade Egyptian Gold. I first thought it would be too dark for my light skin, but it is softly and shimmery “copper”(?) and looks radiantly beautiful. I like the formula and would like to try other shades in the Skin Frost line. I just wish it were more easily attainable for those of us on a stricter budget.

PERFECT
I am so happy with this tinted skin glow. Although it's not very opaque, it really shines on my face. It gives a very natural glow! This is really my favorite. After my day cream, I always use it. Your skin looks instantly glowy!

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.

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.

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!

Not a foundation
This product was very shiny on my face and kept melting off which was weird because I didn't sweat. At first I thought maybe because I did something wrong with my makeup routine so I tried it without using primer and setting spray. But it still felt wet and shiny. Won't buy again, waste of money.

Concealer ? Foundation ? 🫣 You can mix it with a foundation and it gives your skin a glow. You can also use it like it is, but it has the intention to give you glow where you want it (eg cheek). Strange that people are using products without knowing what it is (or not searching for information) 🤷♀️
