You really can't pass up a makeup product that's affordable AND consistently gets you compliments. And when wearing it makes you feel more confident? Well that seals the deal. The e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter is my holy grail foundation/complexion booster/makeup product in one — especially since this year it scored me compliments from the Bridgerton team before my interview! (That's a sentence I never thought I'd be able to type). This beauty product is truly too good to pass up, and thanks to Prime Day 2024, it's on sale!

My Experience With The e.l.f. Halo Glow

The e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter was on my wish list for a long time before I was finally able to snag a bottle. I love the applicator wand, and how you're able to control exactly how much goes on your face, rather than trying not to pump too much out onto a beauty blender. It's easy to apply, blendable, and offers an INSTANT glow like I've never seen. And with a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars, thanks to almost 10K reviews, Amazon customers agree.

I wound up grabbing shade 1 Fair, and it's a little too yellow for my complexion even though it appeared on the cooler side. If you're fair skinned, I'd recommend buying a bottle that looks the slightest bit too cool (because apparently they're warmer on the skin), or buying two shades to mix.

While I love the look of this product, I do have to point out that it makes me break out if I use it too much, so I have to wear it sparingly. I've also cut back how much I use, and I keep it away from my T-Zone, since that area is already oily. If you also have acne-prone skin, consider getting a primer for underneath the e.l.f. Halo Glow, or layer the complexion booster on top of another tried-and-true foundation so it's in direct contact with your skin.

What is the point of e.l.f. Halo glow?
