No idea but FF is indeed wondrous stuff.

Plump82 · 13/12/2021 21:34

What does it actually do? Is it a primer or do you wear it on its own.

Darkpheonix · 13/12/2021 21:37

I tried a few products when they first got a stand in HN Leeds. I like the eyeshadow, but I wasn't over impressed by anything else. Tempted to try this though. I am going to Leeds soon and will drop in.

I am terrible at shade matching on the internet

Can you get this in store anywhere?
Or is it all online?

oohmama · 13/12/2021 21:48

Also, can you order testers?

I've heard good things about it but how do you use it?

You dab it on after primer than rub in.I wore it without foundation and my skin looked fab.I used it under foundation today.

Does it go all over your face or only certain parts (ie under your eyes etc)?

@JacquelineCarlyle

Either! I tend to use it just across my cheekbones and under my eyes before concealer as I get quite oily on my forehead You can also dab it on top of foundation as a highlighter

Adding a couple of my holy grail products

Wet n wild highlighter blossom glow. Cheap, no glitter, and not chalky
Essence lash princess false lash (green tube). Cheap and works!
Elf bite size eyeshadows. £3, pigmented and loads of colours

You have lovely skin to start with. I'm not sure mine would look so good!

I’m almost ashamed to say - because I was resolutely sceptical about the whole brand - that the Charlotte Tilbury WonderGlow works brilliantly for me. Cult Beauty sent me three free primer samples from different brands at the beginning of last year, and I thought I’d prefer the mattifying ones, so this was the last I tried.

Then lockdown happened and I only saw people on screen. The Wonderglow makes me fabulously glowy on Zoom.

I never wear foundation and don’t feel I need anything else on my skin apart from a tiny amount of facial oil.

Haven’t tried anything else from the brand though.

Pencils are all crap. Eyeliners and lip pencils, each one I’ve had have been dry and broken to the point it falls out of the wood. Liquid liners are nice but don’t last. I switched to VB eyeliners-so so good!

Hotmess1 · 14/12/2021 19:12

It’s bloody amazing isn’t it! I only wear it as highlighter over foundation but it’s fantastic. Love the wonderglow primer too. They are the only two products I rate from ct though but I will never be without them!

Nanoo1234 · 14/12/2021 19:21

Anyone used the powder ? My mate loves it ....

LouH1981 · 14/12/2021 21:24

I finally (after much indecision) bought the pillow talk lipstick and gloss and I love it!

Inmypjsagain · 14/12/2021 21:28

I love it, I’ve used it as a highlighter too!

I know a lot of posters on MN don’t like Charlotte tilbury products but I’m a fan! I love the wonder glow foundation, the contour wand and highlighter wand, the eye shadow pots, quads and pencils. I love the lipliners and lipsticks (though my preference is still Chanel for lipsticks). Oh and her pressed powder. She’s releasing a new foundation that I really want to try! I’ve not tried any of the skincare.

Only thing I haven’t been a fan of is the mascara. It felt like it never dried and left marks on my eye bags 😂

Yes, I’m on my second powder, really like it and not cakey at all. I do find it gives me a bit of colour though which is sometimes annoying. I also use IT cosmetics bye bye pores compact powder which is like magic and I think that’s probably better, but I reach for the CT more, not sure why thinking about it…
JustLikea · 14/12/2021 21:34

I didn't like it. I found it too sheer

Darkpheonix · 16/12/2021 09:18

So I got this and the wonderglow primer.

I got a eyeshadow quad and a huge highlighter free with them at Harvey Nichols. Absolutely love all of them x

It's not foundation though.
Wagsandclaws · 17/12/2021 13:22

Mumsnet made me buy it ... the primer and the highlighter - I'll report back and see if they both really are that good!
