Loved that you shared you initial relaxation and then modified themas the product set down - a candid and honest review. Thank you - love your channel.
LOVED this video. I've been wanting to buy this product but wasn't sure how it would react to my holygrail glossier skin tint. I have dry sensitive skin and now I'm gonna run and buy this!!! Update: I bought it and I'm obsessed. Its now essential in my makeup routine and even on no makeup days when I want that healthy glow. If anyone is on the fence they should definitely try it.
I have super oily skin and I use it as a highlighter on my cheekbones, cupid's bow, and also on my undereyes before concealer (think YSL Touche Eclat). It gives a very subtle, natural, "young healthy skin" look and I adore it. But yeah, used all over it just looks sweaty to me.
Speaking as an asian, I feel like you have a great bone structure that doesnt need the heavy contouring on the cheekbones? Imo you look so beautiful and youthful without!
Shade 2 works for me...I ordered directly from CT’s site... for me it’s best mixed with a moisturizer or foundation and then used over top on areas to highlight...thank you for this review.
I have watched several reviews with mixed opinions. Your's was the one that convinced me to buy it. Thank you for this honest and thorough review. Your face/skin looks amazing and flawless!
I'm loving this product as well. I purchased it at bergdorf's last Friday. If you feel like it looks "metallic", it might be that the shade is too light. That happened to me and I ended up getting a darker shade and even though it looked too dark, there is not really any coverage and blends into just a glow, no color and it looks much better. I have been using this everyday since I got it and I also feel like i actually do have a filter.
+Selene32986 That's an interesting point. From what I can tell, I have a similar skin tone to Michelle, and I ordered the 3, but I was wondering if I should have ordered the 2. On the Charlotte Tilbury website, they have the actress who was in Ex Machina modeling the 3 so I went for it. My skin tone resembles hers more than the model featured for the 2.
swatch stop yeah! The shades are kinda crazy. I got the 5 cause the 4 was extremely lighter and ashy... but they don't have much pigment. They blend out to no color so the 3 might be ok. If not, exchange cause it's a pricy item...
Hasanah No glitter at all. It's literally a glow! But a glow with a very dewy look. Some won't like it, some would apply to certain areas. I apply all over since I have dry skin. This is the only base I put on and actually see the glow peaking through my foundation. I have used it everyday ever since I purchased. Even on no makeup makeup days...
Selene32986 This Filter sounds just what my winter dry skin would need ;) Would you say it's hydrating too, or just dewy? And what shade you have/ what shade you are in Mac :)? I'm trying to find out, what shade would work on my light, Mac NC20 skin..
I am so pleased you ended up liking it because I have already ordered one and at the beginning when you found it a bit greasy it worried me because I am already shiny enough. Now I am excited to get it!!!
Loved your final look here! And completely agree with the comment below- your skin looked amazing at the beginning! I thought you were already wearing it!!!
This is really really pretty once it settled down. The rest of your makeup looks so soft and lovely. I don't have it yet but looking at it reminds me of a punched up version of MAC's Next To Nothing Liquid which I use under or over foundation to add a little glow and softness. Looks interesting to play with. I may need to get it. Thank you for demoing this!
Bought it this afternoon from Harvey Nichols. Chose Medium 4. Brought it home. Glared at the bottle for a couple of hours. Gave in and applied a very small amount and worked in thoroughly. Fell in love with myself. I will never be seen without this stuff on my face again. Matter of fact, I am wearing it in bed as we speak, because I am curious to see a raw morning face with this stuff on. Will see how it goes and report back. I'll probably fall OUT of love on the fourth day. Well, that's what usually happens, to me anyway ... :)
@@N3dita Yes, still use it fairly frequently, love it, and will probably repurchase one day. It lasts ages! For most daily purposes I also use that 'photoready' stuff, mixed with moisturiser. That's almost colorless, very very pale white gold.
I love it!!! I have dry skin and aging so this will make my skin feel and look younger. Because you lose the glow when you start to age. I will be doing these products thank you for this awesome video 😊👏🏻💄
Loved this review. You totally nailed it when you made the swatch comparison with the light wand because it gave a great point of reference to the "glow factor". Thank U
Discovered you today in my pursuit of any and all Surratt reviews - they are hard to come by, so thank you for yours!! You are beautiful and I LOVE your videos and your matter-of-fact approach!
I am not a fan of frosty/dewy/glittery and the overused phrase 'lit from within' sounds like a lightbulb...but you look great with it on. I think if you knock the shine off of your nose, the area under the eye that is closest to your nose and between the eyebrows you would feel at ease with all the oomph this product has to offer. P.S. You are always a breath of fresh air to watch and listen to. Thanks for doing the work so I don't have to.
Thanks! Michele I love that you are always “of the moment” with the reviews I want see. It’s so refreshing to watch an adult who tries luxe brands and product. 💫💫💫
That really looks nice on your skin. You already have such beautiful skin but that gave it and extra glow. I thought it looked great without the foundation. Do you think this product would work on a person work if they have larger pores or texture to skin? I love your videos. Thanks!
I have huge pores and I use benefit's porefessional primer then the filter then either powder or foundation then powder. My pores vanish and I can pretend to have fab skin until the makeup has to be removed.
That is really gorgeous on you!! It reminds me of SPOTLIGHT Illuminating Primer by Physicians Formula! Have you tried that?? You really do look flawless Michele!! xoxoxoox Carol
First time on your channel and had to subscribe. I love the way you explain things, straight to the point and by the way that finish was BEAUTIFUL. I’m glad I found you on TH-cam
I REALLY like the Glossier tint I’ve yet to try anything by that brand but I love 💗 how the skin tint looks. I like the Charlotte Tilbury Foundation but I think I would definitely mix it in with a foundation!
I'm with you Michele I love a dewy finish with my foundations I also have dry skin. Definitely would want to wear this under or over the foundation but not all over the face especially the nose. I love how it looks with the Glossier Skin Tint over it. Beautiful.
New follower & also a Plucky knitter fan. So I like using the Flawless Filter as a highlighter layer on the high points of my face before my foundation. I don’t like using it all over either since it’s definitely super glowy.
Looks great on you. I have this product but haven’t used it much because I didn’t really know how (bought it on a whim because of good reviews.) I’m going to try it under a tinted moisturizer like you did and cross my fingers for similar results!
So far I'm really liking CT's Hollywood Flawless Filter. I have light to medium skin with yellow to neutral undertones so I went for shade 3. I love the glow that it gives without it being overly metallic, shimmery or glittery. I've somehow managed to avoid the highlighter craze because even though there are so many that are beautiful & tempting, most end up looking too glittery on me which is not what I'm going for. I want glow not glitter and the Hollywood Flawless Filter fits the bill. However, I'm still testing it out and am hoping I don't get any breakouts -- that would be heartbreaking. 😄
Hi Michele, I didn't read through the comments below so someone else may have mentioned this - on Charlotte's TH-cam channel she is using this as a primer under foundation. She state's you can use it in the areas you usually highlight or all over the face. It looks beautiful on her model and you! XO Ginny
Thank you for your review! I was curious about this product and how it compared to the liquid highlighter she has. I do have oily skin and I thought that it wouldn't fit me. Also I noticed that when she used it on the model in her promo, it just emphasised her pores. I have large pores and a bit oily skin so I don't think it'd look good on me. But I will get some samples to try in my next order. It might be something for night wear but not during the day in the office (unless one wants to look re-live the teenage greasy skin years!). Your skin looks good and I can't see any pores so I think it suits you :)
I'm glad I got the samples before I opened the full size I purchased. Unfortunately, for me, it was like a spotlight on my pores and undereye wrinkles. I had to return it.
I thought it looked beautiful on you. I wonder if it would work better to use half as much? I'm interested in trying this. Thanks. Oh, I'm past 50, do you think that would work with this filter?
I'm loving this foundation on you, I've got to go back to Nordstrom and get matched again, because the shade they picked out for me was not my shade and I had to return it and that left a no in my mouth and I never went back.
That looked amazing when you did the close up after you did all your makeup! Wow! It confusing to know exactly how to use the product though...but looked you nailed it 👍🏼
Thank you for your thorough review! I appreciate it. Do you have any recommendations for people who actually like that wet look? I was about to buy this for the natural sheen but I heard you say that you liked it since it set down more and didn't look as wet/greasy. Since I have super dry skin, I kind of like that oilier look. Thank you!!
really enjoyed this, especially since everyone is raving about it, it's nice to see how it evolves n the skin:-) btw does it block pores at all after continuous use? Can you give us an update? xx
Thanks for trying this one - I've been worried about the "shine". I think I like it better on the right side of your face with the heavier foundation. It's seem easier to apply than a powder with luminosity.
Your skin is sooo amazing at the beginning of the video!!! Without anything! I would so love to try this CT product, looks beautiful!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕
tanja i it totally is!!
Loved that you shared you initial relaxation and then modified themas the product set down - a candid and honest review. Thank you - love your channel.
The whole time Im watching this, my brain is like “omg pick up the puppy, pick up the puppy, I wanna see the puppy 🐶 .” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
+Jovana J Me too!
Lol
Me too!
Exactly what I was thinking too :)
LOVED this video. I've been wanting to buy this product but wasn't sure how it would react to my holygrail glossier skin tint. I have dry sensitive skin and now I'm gonna run and buy this!!!
Update: I bought it and I'm obsessed. Its now essential in my makeup routine and even on no makeup days when I want that healthy glow. If anyone is on the fence they should definitely try it.
It looks amazing on your flawless skin! I feel like it would be a nightmare on my super oily, large pore skin. 😕
I have super oily skin and I use it as a highlighter on my cheekbones, cupid's bow, and also on my undereyes before concealer (think YSL Touche Eclat). It gives a very subtle, natural, "young healthy skin" look and I adore it. But yeah, used all over it just looks sweaty to me.
My skin is just like yours Risa and I was thinking the same thing. I also agree that it looks beautiful on Michele.
RIGHTTTT 🥲🥲🥲
OMG! your skin is a perfect depiction of a flawless skin.
Speaking as an asian, I feel like you have a great bone structure that doesnt need the heavy contouring on the cheekbones? Imo you look so beautiful and youthful without!
Your user name is so asian 😂 ♥️

Except for the Glossier skin tint you went all Charlotte Tilbury and created a gorgeous flawless look😍 Very natural, but polished. Love it 💕

Ladynipchick2 I’m dying to know if you fell out of love with this or are you still in the midst of a torrid affair?!
I’d love to know your thoughts on it now

Your skin is so flawless and beautiful, I’m thirty and jealous!
Love how it settled into your skin! Final look was gorgeous 😍

Thanks Carol!! I haven't tried that primer, but that sounds great! I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the rec! xoxo
Thank you for the P.F. tip, have you used the Physicians Formula bronzer? I have heard good things about it.
Your skin and makeup always looks flawless ❤️❤️👍👍
Beautiful flawless skin you got Michele! Thanks for the review!
Looks amazing! I prefer a dewey finish so I will need to look into this. Thanks again for a great video, Michele!
Thank you very much for this review ! I love your explanations. You have a beautiful skin ! ❤️❤️❤️
Omg it looks like a filter stunning
Honestly it looks beautiful. I need to see it on someone with bad skin though to see if it makes your flaws bigger. It looks beautiful.
It looks like it's a highlighter meant to be mixed with foundation but your skin is flawless and it looks amazing on you. You rock it!
I live in Portland Oregon and just bought a bottle yesterday. I think they've had it for awhile. Anxious to try it!! Thanks for the great review.
First time on your channel and had to subscribe. I love the way you explain things, straight to the point and by the way that finish was BEAUTIFUL. I’m glad I found you on TH-cam
Loved how the veil looked over mk up on your bone structure as opposed to using as base or primer.
Your skin looks amazing!!!
I'm always so late lol, this video is from 2018, we're in Sept 2019 😣 I don't care if it's an old product I want it.
Your finished look is beautiful!
I’m here in 2021 🤣🤣🤣
I REALLY like the Glossier tint I’ve yet to try anything by that brand but I love 💗 how the skin tint looks. I like the Charlotte Tilbury Foundation but I think I would definitely mix it in with a foundation!

Dawn Princess which primer?

Beautiful glow!. Definitely picking it up. Thanks for the review Michele.
Your skin looks amazing!!
This designs brilliant! Can't sit tight to look at similar to this. Great job.

Just picked up a small sample sachet of this and I’m going to give it a whirl this weekend! Cheers Lisa
Good luck! It's quite lovely after it sets!
WOW! Stunning! I love your videos!!
I use the flawless filter with my Mac face and body tint and it turns out exactly the same I love it
So glad you tried this one...I've been so curious about it!

I thought it looked beautiful on you. I wonder if it would work better to use half as much? I'm interested in trying this. Thanks. Oh, I'm past 50, do you think that would work with this filter?
Your skin looks beautiful on camera with the product
I purchased mine today, initially I thought it is too glowy, but Salli Hughes sold it to me in her instagram post. Great review as always.
I just adore your channel and your content.
I love you,Michele. Thanks,thaaaaaanks for the review 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😘😘😘😘😘
You really have a beautiful skin! I want to buy it now!
I'm loving this foundation on you, I've got to go back to Nordstrom and get matched again, because the shade they picked out for me was not my shade and I had to return it and that left a no in my mouth and I never went back.
I di value your opinion. i you had to choice the SoniaG foundation brush and the shu eumura what will be your choice Thank you X
It really looks very nice!
I like the way this looks on your skin!!!
That looked amazing when you did the close up after you did all your makeup! Wow! It confusing to know exactly how to use the product though...but looked you nailed it 👍🏼
I like your grey hair. I have been rocking my greys too 😁
Do you recommend the flawless filter?
You have really beautiful skin. I really liked your review 😊
Thank you so much!!
Is it like wonder glow ?
Wow!!! I want my skin to be seen from space girl.SOLD
But your skin looks so beautiful before the product! X
Going to go buy this.
This was a lovely, helpful video. Thank you!
I wonder if it oxidizes? I fell in love with the unisex healthy glow and had to give it away because it made me look like an Oompa Loompa.
I love your videos. You are very engaging
Thanks for the awesome review. My favourite beauty person. Xx
Love how thoughtful your reviews are! Would you mind sharing your opinion on the CT Airbrush finish powder?
I love it! Very light and airy!
I soooooo wanted to see your puppy!!!

I have to agree with the others your skin looks amazing thank you for the review
Glowy and lovely on you!
Michele how do you like the Sonia g foundation brush you used on this video? It was the Sonia g right?
really enjoyed this, especially since everyone is raving about it, it's nice to see how it evolves n the skin:-) btw does it block pores at all after continuous use? Can you give us an update? xx
Wow! How exciting. Love the review and can't wait for a follow up in the future. =0)
You have such amazing skin! What is your skin care routine ?
Thanks for trying this one - I've been worried about the "shine". I think I like it better on the right side of your face with the heavier foundation. It's seem easier to apply than a powder with luminosity.
Oh my gosh, new subscriber here! Your skin is just sooo beautiful
Thank you so much! I have a morning skincare routine up. And will be filming an evening routine this week!
@@TheMicheleWang Oh I'm so excited, really looking forward to it!!!
Great combo!!
Have you tried it with a beauty blender? Also, what kind of brush did you use?
It's a nice product that gives your skin a glow but I would use it more sparingly and see how that works.
It looks great. Can you tell me how you highlight the inner parts of eyes?
You have beautiful skin!
It looks lovely on you.
