"I'm going to be going in with the e.l.f. Halo Glow Beauty Wand. This is the one that I swatched on my hand to show you how it's much more cool tone than the bronzer that I had next to it. What we don't want to do is apply this directly to the face."

"That highlighter is really pretty. It definitely adds a nice glow. You just need to be light-handed, so keep that in mind."

Makeup YOU Said You'll NEVER Buy Again..

"The light Contour shade is nice, but I wish it lasted. [...] The highlighter I feel like [...] could be skipped. [...] In comparison to the Charlotte Tilbury one, I liked the Charlotte Tilbury one slightly better. It's still pretty, but I haven't actually ever paid attention to the lasting power of it."

"I really love the e.l.f. Halo Glow Highlighter Beauty Wand, this is in the shade candle. This is such a pretty blush and it's like a one and one, you don't need any highlighter with this. [...] It's got the little puffy applicator here and the color is just so pretty, [...] a peachy russet tone, so perfect for this time of year. But it has a lot of sheen to it, so it'll really give you that lit from within glow look."

"The Contour is beautiful. I just feel like the texture is perfect. It's so easy to work with, very easy to blend and build. It has the perfect amount of slip to make it easy to work with, but it's not too slippery, and it's not something that breaks down on the face. The finish is really beautiful. I would consider it healthy and glowy, but not in an over-the-top way. I just really love these. I think they're great."

"I'm going to start off with the Halo Glow Beauty Wand from e.l.f. this is in light medium. [...] You can see the difference between Fair light and light medium is much warmer. These are pretty pigmented so don't like apply too much. You really just need some little dabs basically, a little bit goes a long way. So I'm just going to do a little to my forehead, a little up on the top of my cheekbone, do a little bit on my nose. [...] I'm going to blend that out first."

"Is that like the highlighting stick that you twist? The e.l.f. ones, really. If you're looking for a good dupe of a Charlotte Tilbury product, just go for the e.l.f. ones."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
