If you're after glowy, 'filtered' skin IRL, this could be your answer

And it's going to have you looking seriously luminous

The product

TBH, we're so here for embracing the 'clean girl' aesthetic. There's nothing quite like walking around without that heavy makeup feeling on our faces, and damn not to mention all the time it saves us. But sometimes we wish we could just chuck on a filter IRL. You know, that slight blur that reflects the light and gives you the most dewy finish?

It would be nice, right? Well, what if we told you a seriously simple swipe could help to give you the most luminous finish of your dreams? Yep, let us introduce you to the Revlon Illuminance Glow™ Filter. The wash of sheer (to slightly buildable) coverage that this doe-foot applicator is unparalleled, with light-reflecting particles designed to give you a blurred, luminous, 'your skin but better' level finish. 

Not to mention the fact that the gloriously dewy product can be used in four different ways. Yep, we stan a multi-use product, and this bad boy has seriously delivered. You can use it as an all-over wash of glowing colour, mix it into your foundation for an extra touch of luminosity, use it as a primer to create a dewy base or apply it to your highpoints for a little natural moment of highlight. 

See, what did we say? It's pretty unbeatable if you ask us! So, let's see what our members had to say about the seriously glowing filter...

The panel

BEAUTYcrew sent the Revlon Illuminance Glow Filter to a panel of women aged 25-45 looking for a radiant, dewy, everyday foundation.

The lowdown

The gorgeously glowy finish: When glow is in the name, glow is what we want. And boy does this filter deliver on the glow factor. Our REVIEWcrew members could go on for days about how dewy, light-reflecting and seriously all round glowy this filter is. So, if you're after lit from within-level illuminance, this filter ticks the boxes.

The multi-use capabilities: Is there anything we enjoy more than a product that has more than one use? Nope! And this fantastic filter has four, so quadruple the fun of a regular foundation. Our members loved getting to put the different uses to the test, and they were impressed with all of 'em!

The lightweight coverage: If you're totally on the clean girl, dewy skin bandwagon, you're going to want to take notes. Because with its easy to apply doe-foot applicator, this dewy-finish foundation is bringing the lightweight, your skin but better-level coverage that you've been coveting.

I absolutely LOVE the Glow Filter by Revlon. It is hands down one of the best makeup products I have used in years. I have used other similar products from other brands (both high end and mid range) but this Revlon one completely blows them all out of the water. There is literally a glow on the skin without glitter, there is just a beautiful sheen. I have used this product on its own, under liquid foundation and under mineral powder foundation and it has sat beautifully under all three. The longevity of both the liquid and mineral foundation was increased as well, which I believe is down to the glow filter. I have already put some family and friends on to this product and everyone loves it as much as I do. Bravo Revlon!

I’ve been loving the Revlon Illuminance Glow Filter lately! It gives my skin the perfect, dewy finish without looking too shiny or heavy. The texture is really smooth and feels super lightweight, almost like a serum, so it blends effortlessly into the skin. I use it as a highlighter or mix it with my foundation for a soft, all-over glow, and it just leaves my face looking fresh and radiant. It doesn’t have any chunky glitter, just a really flattering, natural luminosity. Plus, it has a nice moisturizing feel, which I really appreciate. If you want a subtle but beautiful glow, this is definitely a product to try!

Let's start with the packaging! The Revlon Illuminance Glow filter looks and feels high end. The weighty glass bottle does not give " drug store" vibes and the purple accents on the lid and label are stunning! I love a doe foot applicator and this one is a great size and is long enough so that you can get all the product out as you use it. At first I was a little concerned about the shade match... My match is Light 002 and at first glance it looks a little deeper than what I'm used to wearing. I didn't need to worry though because when I applied it and blended it out, it was the perfect match! It gives a light, sheer coverage that blurs the skin and gives a dewy finish. The light reflecting coverage is spot on and doesn't give the skin a silvery look. The Revlon Illuminance Glow filter can be used as a light weight base, mix with your fav foundation for a glowy, more full coverage look or use as a highlighter on the high points of your face. This product would be perfect for someone who has a drier skin type or anyone who wants that perfect summer glow.
