What the gurus are saying

This wand highlighter blends into skin naturally and delivers a noticeable glow, though it works best when you apply it with a light hand and give it a moment to set rather than expecting instant payoff. The wand application splits reviewers (some love the convenience, others find it takes a bit of practice) but those who've used it tend to stick with it. At the price point, it holds up well.

"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. I'm telling you this is one of the number one tips, it really makes the biggest difference, so apply it to the back of the hand first and then I'm going to take the same brush and you can see it's a little bit more cool tone which is going to create that soft sculpt."

"Since we're going glam tonight, we're going to do the e.l.f. Halo Glow Beauty Wand, this is their Contour Wand in the shade Fair Light. I'm just wanting to add a bit of this to the face to really sculpt everything today. I'll do some on the side of the nose and even sculpt around the lip a little. Then I'm just going to take my brush and blend all of that out and under the cheekbones. I'm blending upward so that it lifts the face. I think this is looking really nice."
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'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. This is actually the opposite order that I typically do it in because I like to kind of build on top of the sculpt which would be my contour, but if you're going for something bronzy and you want that bronze warm color to be your focus, it's obviously going to depend on your skin tone."

"For the more affordable side, we have the e.l.f. Halo Glow Highlighter in the Champagne Campaign shade, and I have used this before, so I know I like it. I see so many mixed reviews when it comes to these wand things from e.l.f. A lot of people love them and a lot of people weren't so sure."

Full Face Of viral e.l.f products 2023!
"We're going to go into Rose Quartz from the Halo Glow beauty wands. New favorite of mine, and I'm going to just tap it onto the skin. I'm not going to use this and rub it on the face. I'm actually just going to be very careful with my placement here and just get a nice, natural kind of glow from this. I've gone for the Rose Quartz one because it's a little bit more neutral to my skin tone. And that way it's going to look more like my natural glowing skin."

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.
