Tarte Glowlight Skin Filter for Spring 2023
Tarte Glowlight Skin Filter ($30) is a new all-over glowing skin highlighter that can be used to blur, brighten, and create a luminous glow on skin. Highlighters and eye brightening formulas seem to be going hard for Spring 2023 as everyone tries to capture the success of Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter and E.L.F. Halo Glow Liquid Filter! I know currently there’s a bit of outcry about this as people feel like it’s a similar if not the same formula as Tarte’s Shape Tape Glow Wand and I can’t lie I thought the same. But Tarte is notorious for launching and relaunching similar products (they remind me of NYX in that aspect).
That being said, Glowlight Skin Filter is only available in six shades and Glow Wand is available in eight. It’s also a dollar more at $30 compared to $29. They contain some of the same ingredients which I compared below (the ingredients vary shade to shade on Glowlight) but for the most part, there is a good deal of more hydrating ingredients found in this new formula. The ones I posted were for the shade Sunkissed).

This new formula promises to blur, brighten, and hydrate and leaves skin with a dewy glow without looking shimmery or sparkly. It does contain mica so, I’d take the marketing with a grain of salt about being shimmery! I watched the small video on Tarte’s website they have of Jen applying it and I personally didn’t like the look. I screenshotted it below. It just looks a bit too oily for me. I’m really not a fan of glowy or dewy products on my skin. This formula can be worn alone, under your favorite foundation, over your favorite foundation, or just on the higher points of your face for a nice glow.

With Foundation
No doubt they’ll do great with this. I’m personally not a fan of products like this but I’m sure it’ll fly off shelves as people really loved CT and E.L.F.’s version!
