MAC has more of an iridescent sheen and comes in different flashes of color. The main difference is formula and color. It’s also sheer and similar in concept to MAC Strobe Cream. The Brightening Youth Glow is more opalescent with a pearly glow. The Wonder Glow has a beautiful golden yellow undertone which I have loved for years. Both of these are a lot sheerer in color and thinner in texture. Swatches next to the Wonder Glow and Brightening Youth Glow.

The nice thing about this product is you don’t need an exact match as it’s intended to add glow to the complexion not cover up the skin like foundation. I did try to use the deeper options as a contour and for my skintone they are really too warm to use. I’ve also found Shade 2 or 3 work to lighten some foundation shades that are a bit too deep for me because they’re my summer color. I’m on the lighter side right now so 4 works best. I’ve experimented with both and there’s a pretty big gap. My best matches in the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter is Shade 4 or Shade 5. This one stays put and blends in with the base without wiping it away. Many of you have mentioned liquid highlighters tend to disrupt the foundation underneath. The other way I’ve applied it is on top of blended foundation like you’d apply a brightening concealer or highlighter. I then blend out with a beautyblender sponge. To mix I simply swipe on a few stripes on the face and dot in foundation on the forehead, cheeks and chin.

The Flawless Filters come with a sponge tip applicator.

I’ve always been in between colors for her foundation varying between 5 (a bit too peachy), 6 (a bit too olive) and 7 (perfect undertone but a bit too deep). I’d recommend sticking with the shade recs there. Her website has shade recommendations according to her Light Wonder and Magic Foundation shades. There are seven shades total and each one has a really pretty glow to them. Texture is just perfect for my combination skin to last all day without getting too dewy looking. For me it has the perfect amount of glow to be noticeable without looking harsh. It melts into the skin and layers well with liquid foundation. It’s very pigmented but is easy to blend. I already own quite a number of glow bases but the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter is one of the best ones I’ve used. I’m a huge fan of glowing skin and love mixing in liquid luminizers with foundation, applying as a base or layering it on top. It’s a complexion booster which you can use in a variety of ways for a radiant glow. The latest from Charlotte Tilbury is her new Hollywood Flawless Filter ($44 each for 1 fl oz/30 ml).
