In the spirit of London Fashion Week and still feeling very much celebratory about her US launch, the Charlotte Tilbury theme continues! Next up is Wonderglow, the instant soft focus beauty flash this British makeup expert uses in every single one of her signature looks. With the flexibility of a proper twerk, this ultra light, champagne hued lotion can be used in a number of ways to illuminate every complexion.
Wonderglow works as a makeup primer, highlighter and a tinted moisturizer, making it a fantastic option for prepping, touching up or finishing your look. In glowing terms, Charlotte Tilbury has created a formula in a universal shade “powered by a fluorescent core that converts UV light into skin luminosity for an instant soft focus spotlight effect”. The versatility it offers puts you in charge of controlling the intensity of the glow so whether you need subtle, bold or something in between, look no further.
Use Wonderglow as a base for the lit up from within effect or step it up by mixing it with your foundation. To highlight, dab a small amount on your cheekbones and browbones after you apply your makeup. While I could never get away with Wonderglow alone, many might, especially on weekends. Not to outglow you, but I mute the light reflecting properties slightly (hi silica and mica!) with either a tinted moisturizer or a matte bronzer. You might not want to.
Charlotte Tilbury spikes the elegant formula with her patented antiaging BioNymph Peptide Complex, making Wonderglow a hybrid with benefits. In addition to collagen boosting peptides, hydrating hyaluronic acid and regenerating camelia and rose hip oils, make this ultra portable product a great fit for all skin types. Because of the gold-toned sheen Wonderglow delivers, even the darkest skin tones will find it very forgiving. So, not a one hit wonder.
$55 (1.4oz) available at charlottetilbury.com, sephora.com, and bluemercury.com
