I'm not usually one for mad-keen hype - but Charlotte, you got me with this one. Wayne Goss posted about his love of this new product - Charlotte Tilbury's Unisex Healthy Glow Tinted Moisturiser - and I just had to get involved. I'm a long-standing fan of CT's amazing lipsticks - Pillow Talk being a particular fave - but this is the first base product I've tried from her super-luxe range.
Healthy Glow is, for all intents and purposes, a tinted moisturiser with benefits. It applies worryingly greyish-white (and slightly grainy - I tried to capture this in the photo below) but don't be put off - a few seconds in to blending in, it settles in to a believeable, sunkissed version of your own skintone.
Now. I know what you're thinking. Tantastic days behind me. No no NO 90's drugstore foundation tideline, thankyouverymuch. Have no fear. This is seriously flattering and blends away seamlessly - unless you're really slapdash applying it (bearing in mind my method au choix is to slap it all over my fave with my fingers) you'll have no issues here.
Note - no sunscreen. Sun worshippers be warned. You'll need an SPF underneath this if you're headed outside.
I've been applying this instead of foundation most days - it is feather light, even oily skins like mine shouldn't have an issue here. Healthy Glow has a satiny, moisturised, healthy finish, and plays well with powder and other base products. I haven't experienced any breaking up on my oily patches, even after seven or eight hours' wear. This, a Dior lip and my Becca Sunchaser Palette - I'm sorted for warm summer days (when they ever appear!)
And the best part? This blurs all the bad bits. My skin looks more even, smooth, less pore-y (is that a word?) and essentially, filtered. This is very forgiving on fine lines, and generally extremely flattering on light to medium skintones. Another Charlotte Tilbury win for me.
Freshly applied, and blended out to the right - note glowy, non-orange shade! |

Wow, cool post. I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real hard work to make a great article... but I put things off too much and never seem to get started. Thanks though. Buy CBD Edibles Online
