I haven't tried the Charlotte Tillbury, but I ordered the Elf Halo Glow from Amazon on a whim, and used it for the first time today. I was so impressed I didn't even use any foundation. Great buy.
Great video thank you for the review. I actually liked the elf side better as a stand alone and couldn’t tell a difference when applied as a mixer or highlighter. You looked gorgeous in both.
I'm fairly new to all this, but felt almost suffocated to think of moisturizer, sunscreen, this product, and foundation masking my face. With our summer weather and humidity, I think we are all pretty glowy right now. I noted it in my notebook of products to try this winter. Thank you for sharing and of the two, the e.l.f. side was my preference. Also, I loved that your end look was a light and no fuss one.
Thank you so much! It's been a hot and humid summer with no shortage of glow! Many days its just tinted spf and lipstick LOL. But with Elf recently released I needed to get the review and comparison up. I really love using glowy products once the heat calms down, which hopefully is soon!
There is not enough of a difference to warrant buying the Charlotte Tillbury. With $30.00 price difference, I'll be buying the Elf!!! They also look identical on your skin!
I just bought the elf. I love it, it gives me just the subtle glow I am looking for, Iean warm and it is so hard to find products I like that don't lean pink...Great video!!
Finally someone reviewed how to use this product in all the various ways! Thank you! I agree the Charlotte Tilbury is nicer as a highlight but the Elf one looks more natural of a glow which is actually what is more trendy these days. I am 51 and it is fantastic to see someone in my age group wear this product and to see how amazing it makes your skin look! I plan to pick this one up!
Just discovered your channel. I have to say on this video Elf made your skin look smoother, and showed less imperfections, whereas the Charlotte Tilbury product seemed to highlight imperfections. Very interesting to see. Very informative video. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks so much Tamara ✨💖!! Wonderful thoughtful review. I want try both! I like the more liquid cooler of CT, but Elf being less luminous resonates. Thank you ✨💖🌟
The swatches on your arm, both freshly put on and then blended, was really helpful! Because I use the Colorscience Sunforgettable sunscreen I feel like I'm already pretty 'glowy' but I could see getting the e.l.f. version. Thanks for sharing as always!
Thank you for this very detailed review. Tamara, you look GORGEOUS! I love love love these purple/ taupe eyeshadows on you. Maybe you could show us how you created this look in a future video! 💕❤💜
I bought the mini Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter because of you. Just need to wear it more, but when I do I put it on my cheekbones. Excellent, and thorough comparison video, Tamara. I think my coloring is very close to yours, and that is helpful for me. Blessings, and love..MaryEllen P.S. You have no idea how much I love your outtakes!!!
This summer heat has given me plenty of glow... but once it cools off I love my CT. And I LOVE that it finally comes in a mini! AND I also love YOUR bloopers...may as well not waste them right? Making videos is harder than it looks LOL. Have a great week MaryEllen ❤️
I purchased the ELF in shade 2. Because I have a neutral to golden undertone it works well for me. The orangey look of the shade 3 kept me from purchasing it. Thank you for the detailed comparison Tamara!
I agree with you. I could see the difference. I prefer the CT as well for highlighting. Shade and consistency. When I looked at ELF, all I could see was too dark/orangish shades. Doesn’t work for me either. Plus, the cost of CT actually isn’t as expensive when factoring in how long it takes to use up (for me). Great comparison video! Have a beautiful day, Tamara! 😊💖💜
Right?! I've had my CTHFF for about 2 years and still a long way to go. And I LOVE that is now comes in a mini! But the Elf makes a great glowy primer and it saved my Catrice full coverage matte foundation. So glad you enjoyed the video...Happy Sunday ❤️

I love this brand Charlotte tilbury very much it took a long time to arrive in Italy in stores ,for years only available online, but a really good product♥️♥️♥️have a wonderful day 😘❤️my beautiful friend 💕
I appreciate the side by side comparison. I prefer it being mixed in with foundation. Thank you for the excellent tips and recommendations on how to use it depending on the type of skin you have.
Great review Tamara! It's slowly coming to our stores here, so hopefully I get the opportunity to try it out soon! It definitely is a great dupe! Hope you have a fantastic week my beautiful friend, take care! 🥰
Another great video! So my take is; without foundation I do see a slight difference in shade with the elf being, like you sai,d a tad bit warmer. With foundation, I really didn't see a difference. and both looked lovely. BTW, after watching your concealer video last week I ordered the elf in the shade light 26 N. I adore it!!!
I buy mostly drug store brands. I used to only buy high end department store brands. I have found especially in the last 10 years that I can have a good skin care and make up routine buying drug store while saving a tremendous amount of money. The only time I consider any department store brand is when there is some sort of promotional offer.
Thank you for this video! I have the mini of the Charlotte that I use sparingly due to the cost. I think I will try the Elf so I can get the effect a bit more cost effectively. I was wondering if I should but it! You convinced me to give it a try!! Thank you!!
This is a great comparison on mature skin but in all truths the E.l.f. side came out slightly better with the foundation blended. The CT side came out too radiant that it looks a little oily. But that depends how you use these products on your skin.
I appreciate your showing a range of the Elf Halo Glow colors..I have very dry skin and always interested in products that will give my skin more radiance particulary if they are drugstore items with some decent skin care ingredients..I also prefer warm tone colors and a thicker consistancy..Nothing can be too greasy for my skin..lol
Great review Tamara. Thank you so much for this. Elf suits my budget. I do have the mini of the CT flawless setting spray and I like that. Might have to go for that elf as my skin is on the warmer side. Both looked fabulous on you but I agree with you on the highlighter use - the CT did look better on your skin.
Hi! I think you looked equally lovely with both products. The difference was so very subtle, you are the only one who would actually notice. I really love your videos, and I’m so glad I found someone my own age making quality content. Looking forward to your next one!
So happy you reviewed both of these, had wanted to purchase the CT for awhile but as £ is high wanted to see a full review: I thought there was only a subtle difference, that the Elf gave you more coverage (as full primer) but CT looked a more natural finish. Also more Illuminating as a highlighter. Thank You for your full review 👌🏻
Thank you for the thorough comparison and review! I have been wanting to try the Elf, but want to see it in person to make sure I get the best shade for me. I haven't found it in the store yet, but feel I'll be looking more at the shade 1 or 2, as I run more on the cool/neutral side, as well.
I prefer the CT. I am fair and also I don't like any products that are thick. You look beautiful! Happy Sunday Tamara! Oh, forgot to mention I have the mini of the CT. Would not pay that much for the larger size and I don't use products up very quickly
Totally agree on Minis! When I first purchased the CT it wasn't available in the mini...going on 2 years now and still a long way to go to finish it up. I wanted to try the CT Cream Bronzer everyone is raving about...but it's HUGE and expensive...waiting for the mini LOL.
Yay! I'm so glad you reviewed this! You're right ~ I can't tell the difference between the 2 on camera. I recently received a bottle in shade 1 (fair) and like to use it with my Milani super charged brightening under eye tint (110 pink rose) as it really helps to "wake up" that part of my face. ELF really knocked it out of the park with this one! p.s. Your eyelashes look incredible!!
Hi Tamara! Wow ! Your finished result is beautiful . I like a glow and I’m obsessed with the Charlotte Tilbury flawless filter , I use 3 in the summer and 2 fair in the winter and only as a highlighter . I started duping it on my days off , not to use up the pricy potion ; with the Lumi glotion but with very little , can be a little metallic . I recently found from Mrs. Melissa M . the Pixie flawless Beauty Primer and it is perfectly glowing under my foundations that are a little more matte like you mentioned the Sephora one . The elf seems great but I’m sticking with CT! Have a great week 🌸
Thank you Sue! I use the CT exactly how you do. It's really is a wonderful product...but happy to have found an affordable glowy primer. Have a great week! ❤️
Great video! I just bought the It Glow. I tried it alone and didn't like it. My face felt sticky all day. I mixed it in with my Born This Way Foundation and I a liking it better. I will try the Elf because the It Glow cost me $44. By the way, your eyes looked beautiful in the finish product.❤️
Looking forward to watching this, I'm glad some CT products like this, come in travel sizes. That's what I have this in.. Next time I'd probably try a dupe. Thanks Tamara😊.
I have several Elf cosmetics but mostly for my eyes and concealer. Their moisturitzer is basic and nice. Cream pot blush blends nicely good color. I also have Sephora Best Skin Every foundation which I really liked until the lady at Nordstrom turned me on to Lacome foundation ($43), now I hope my Sephora one isn't too old to continue again. I would like to get the Elf liquid glow highlighter now that you demonstrated it here especially the Sephora foundation. I always though I was a cool but the Lady at Lacome said I am a warm. So I'm not sure what to buy next. Yes I agree the elf is heavier and warmer compared to CT hollywood flawless filter. When you added foundation the elf worked better also. I just wonder where sunscreen would fit in? ( I also hear that in the comment section) That's the most important to me. Thanks for explaining things so well as you always do in your videos. You even looked more beautiful with your completed look.
Thank you Jane! Good question. These products work well over my SPFs. SPF is the last step of skin care…let it set 19-15 min then apply primers and/or foundation/tinted complexion cosmetics. Hope this helps!
Hi, I have been trying to get my hands on this ELF product to try it out but it’s sold out everywhere. I’ve heard good things about it so I wanted to see for myself. Maybe once things settle down it’ll be available again. Thanks for sharing, Dolores 🥰
I had the same problem finding it that’s why this review is a tad “late”. But I entered my email onto the elf website and they notified me when back in stock.
Thank you Tamara I think I would go for the elf because of the price factor and you don’t need too much, but I don’t bother with too much with a glow but it looked nice on you. Hugs Bea
@@beyond50skin I learned this week. Couldn’t find it on the shelf. Saw it was available at the location and then when I went up there the CS person knew what I was talking about. And Tamara is right about the shade range but once I exchanged the Elf 3 to the Elf 2 it was great. I have tons of high end makeup but I’m not the biggest CT fan and for my purposes Elf works fine although it is more yellow than I would like.
Thanks Tamara; I do like Ct better as a highlighter but will definitely mix Elf with foundations esp in the cooler months, when I need warm base to cover my winter skin. Enjoy your August sunshine! Perfect review . I order from Elf now for brow wow. CLEANSING balm, halo setting powder ; brushes; brown mascara, & lipliners. They’re really duping a lot of high end products, thanks 🌷🌷
I've never gotten into primers under makeup...just didn't see the difference. The Elf is the first primer I have actually enjoyed...will definitely be using it as a primer and to mix in with foundation!
On the comparison of using it for highlighting, I think that there was more product used on the Charlotte Tillbury side than the Elf side. But either way, I think that the Tillbury side was a little too illuminating, with the Elf being a little more subtle. Both are nice products, it looks like.
Good question! I usually wear a tinted SPF and didn't want the finish or the tint to alter the comparisons so I applied on clean, moisturized skin. But I have not found any issues with either product over a variety of my tinted mineral SPFs.
Hi Tamara - Forgive this random, unrelated question, but do you have a recommendation for a good non-acetone nail polish remover? Mine no longer gets the job done quickly or effectively. Maybe there’s an alternative product out there? I also think I need to use a base coat. Any you like best? Thank you! 🌷🌸🌷
Thank you again for another great video! I see these big bottles of makeup, like I have it myself, and recently it's been making me think a lot about expiration date. We usually use makeup waaaay past its expiry, and we care so much for our skin, with such great serums and moisturizers, but then we go and use a makeup item that's been open for 2 years. I see this all over UA-cam and I do it myself. Are we doing this wrong? Or am I overacting? Would love to hear what you think, Tamara! I really value your opinion. Thanks! Have a great Sunday.
Thank you JC and Good question! Apparently in the US cosmetics are not required to have an expiration date. It is a concern for sure...in addition to age, I go by smell and consistency. (so far my CTHFF is holding up but I do need to use it up!). I recently decluttered a couple of foundations that were pretty old, just to be on the safe side. And that is one of the reasons I love Minis so much. I am linking an article that gave some general guidelines on how long various types of products are thought to last. Hope you find it helpful! www.domino.com/content/cosmetic-expiration-date-cleaning-makeup-guide/
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty thank you, Tamara! You are so sweet. I usually check that little jar on the back label, that tells how long you can keep it once it's open, and it's usually 6 months or so, which is scary! Specially for someone who doesn't use makeup everyday, it could take forever to finish it up. I love this idea, I'm going to start buying minis! Thank you so much for your thoughts, can't wait for next Sunday!
I am surprised that CT was lighter as I generally find her products are too deep for me. I am fair so I do know ELF will not work with my complexion. Thanks for the deep dive on all the application techniques. , Tamara. I agree the CT looked best as a highlighter and understand why you prefer that product. Since just a little is needed as a highlighter, the $44 doesn’t seem too much as it will last a long time.

I have been using the CT in shade 3, but I just purchased the ELF in shade 2. I put them both on my face as a highlighter and the the ELF one was just a tad "glowier", but they looked almost identical. I do prefer (like you do) to use the CT as a highlighter, but I am going to try the ELF tomorrow, with new makeup and see what that looks like. I kind of want to purchase the ELF in shade 3, but it does look a lot more orangey than the shade 2. I am a neutral warm on most of my face, so I don't know if the shade 3 will make than much of a difference. Do you think, if used as a highlight, it will not be as glowy as the shade 2? I find that the CT, when used as a highlight, is not that noticeable (so for me, not that luminizing) or maybe it's because I am using shade 3??
As a side by side comparison, you’ve demonstrated that there is only a subtle difference between the CT and E.l.f. For me though, these two products I’m adding to the list I call-“What’s the Difference Between?”-WTDB-a primer & foundation-a concealer or primer-a BB cream & primer-a CC cream & BB cream-BB/CC creams and concealers-concealers and foundations? But for tint and consistency, they generally seem to do the same things! My favorite part of your video is the very beginning-seeing your face look a bit sun-kissed. I know we’re not supposed to allow the sun to tint our skin as that coloring represents damage. But you did look a bit “burnt?” (I hope that’s not considered a criticism). Your bare face today prompted happy memories many summers spent at the Jersey Shore getting that same effect on my face while the rest of my body got incredibly tan. It was kind of fun being ignorant and brown.
Thank you for recommending 13 Lives...it was Fantastic! And yes, no matter how diligent I am with SOFs and hats..by the end of the summer I definitely get a bit sunkissed. I take that as a complement ❤️
Thank you Marlene...as it turns out the Lisa Eldridge Sunday Matinee shade is my most used so far of all the Lisa Eldridge Lipsticks I picked up a month ago. I love how subtle yet brightening it is. Of course I glossed it up a tad with City Beauty.
You were VERY shiny to begin with BEFORE you even applied The Elf or the Charlette~~ probably due to a shiny sunscreen underneath. It just made your face look greasy. So next time, I would use a more satin/matte sunscreen like the Elta MD or even Paula's Choice. Good idea to at least use a more mattering foundation to balance out the super shine you have going on. I can't wait to buy to use only underneath a more satin/ matte or pure matte, like Diors Matte, or even Lancome Teint Idole matte. Think using this Elf Halo Glow will be beautiful making any matte foundation you love a LITTLE more dewy looking than dry/powdery. Yes Tamara, the grand fanale' look with both foundations you chose looks beautiful. I DO think the ELF is DEFINITELY a dupe like 85% of other creators point out ❤ PS Your bluppers at the end of your videos make me laugh every time 😅
I differ with you. I would definitely call Elf’s Glow highlight filter innovative when they can make a profit from a 14$ product that Charlotte Tilbury charges 44$.
I haven't tried the Charlotte Tillbury, but I ordered the Elf Halo Glow from Amazon on a whim, and used it for the first time today. I was so impressed I didn't even use any foundation. Great buy.
Great video thank you for the review. I actually liked the elf side better as a stand alone and couldn’t tell a difference when applied as a mixer or highlighter. You looked gorgeous in both.
I'm fairly new to all this, but felt almost suffocated to think of moisturizer, sunscreen, this product, and foundation masking my face. With our summer weather and humidity, I think we are all pretty glowy right now. I noted it in my notebook of products to try this winter. Thank you for sharing and of the two, the e.l.f. side was my preference. Also, I loved that your end look was a light and no fuss one.
Thank you so much! It's been a hot and humid summer with no shortage of glow! Many days its just tinted spf and lipstick LOL. But with Elf recently released I needed to get the review and comparison up. I really love using glowy products once the heat calms down, which hopefully is soon!
There is not enough of a difference to warrant buying the Charlotte Tillbury. With $30.00 price difference, I'll be buying the Elf!!! They also look identical on your skin!
I just bought the elf. I love it, it gives me just the subtle glow I am looking for, Iean warm and it is so hard to find products I like that don't lean pink...Great video!!
Hi I’m wondering if you found it too warm/yellow toned?
@@beyond50skin Not at the moment with my slight tan. I purchased the light medium, I want to try fair- light for winter.
Finally someone reviewed how to use this product in all the various ways! Thank you! I agree the Charlotte Tilbury is nicer as a highlight but the Elf one looks more natural of a glow which is actually what is more trendy these days. I am 51 and it is fantastic to see someone in my age group wear this product and to see how amazing it makes your skin look! I plan to pick this one up!
Just discovered your channel.
I have to say on this video Elf made your skin look smoother, and showed less imperfections, whereas the Charlotte Tilbury product seemed to highlight imperfections.
Very interesting to see.
Very informative video. Thanks for sharing 👍
Whenever I use that CT product I always think about you and have wondered what you thought of the e.l.f. product ;) Now I know! xoxoxo
Hi gorgeous
Love the thumbnail and am looking forward to watching this
xx
Hi honey! Hope you are enjoying your much deserved vacation! 😘
I bought the ELF HALO GLOW and it worked out beautiful for me. I use these products as highlighters.
Thanks so much Tamara ✨💖!! Wonderful thoughtful review. I want try both! I like the more liquid cooler of CT, but Elf being less luminous resonates. Thank you ✨💖🌟
Hi Olina
The swatches on your arm, both freshly put on and then blended, was really helpful! Because I use the Colorscience Sunforgettable sunscreen I feel like I'm already pretty 'glowy' but I could see getting the e.l.f. version. Thanks for sharing as always!
Thank you for this very detailed review. Tamara, you look GORGEOUS! I love love love these purple/ taupe eyeshadows on you. Maybe you could show us how you created this look in a future video! 💕❤💜
Hi Stacy
I bought the mini Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter because of you. Just need to wear it more, but when I do I put it on my cheekbones. Excellent, and thorough comparison video, Tamara. I think my coloring is very close to yours, and that is helpful for me. Blessings, and love..MaryEllen
P.S. You have no idea how much I love your outtakes!!!
This summer heat has given me plenty of glow... but once it cools off I love my CT. And I LOVE that it finally comes in a mini! AND I also love YOUR bloopers...may as well not waste them right? Making videos is harder than it looks LOL. Have a great week MaryEllen ❤️
I purchased the ELF in shade 2. Because I have a neutral to golden undertone it works well for me. The orangey look of the shade 3 kept me from purchasing it. Thank you for the detailed comparison Tamara!
I agree with you. I could see the difference. I prefer the CT as well for highlighting. Shade and consistency. When I looked at ELF, all I could see was too dark/orangish shades. Doesn’t work for me either. Plus, the cost of CT actually isn’t as expensive when factoring in how long it takes to use up (for me). Great comparison video! Have a beautiful day, Tamara! 😊💖💜
Right?! I've had my CTHFF for about 2 years and still a long way to go. And I LOVE that is now comes in a mini! But the Elf makes a great glowy primer and it saved my Catrice full coverage matte foundation. So glad you enjoyed the video...Happy Sunday ❤️

I love this brand Charlotte tilbury very much it took a long time to arrive in Italy in stores ,for years only available online, but a really good product♥️♥️♥️have a wonderful day 😘❤️my beautiful friend 💕
Charlotte makes some gorgeous products! And I love that so many come in minis! Happy Sunday Gorgeous! ❤️
I appreciate the side by side comparison. I prefer it being mixed in with foundation. Thank you for the excellent tips and recommendations on how to use it depending on the type of skin you have.
Thanks Tamara and the sun outside your window is awesome. 🔹💙🔹
Thank you Ranalynn! Have a great week! ❤️
Hi Ranalynn
Great review Tamara! It's slowly coming to our stores here, so hopefully I get the opportunity to try it out soon! It definitely is a great dupe! Hope you have a fantastic week my beautiful friend, take care! 🥰
I feel like blending the foundation with fingers (even just a little bit) would move around the product underneath
Wow! I think the elf side looks great.! I think the colour looks great on you! I like it as a highlighter also as it has the most perfect luminosity.👍
Another great video! So my take is; without foundation I do see a slight difference in shade with the elf being, like you sai,d a tad bit warmer. With foundation, I really didn't see a difference. and both looked lovely. BTW, after watching your concealer video last week I ordered the elf in the shade light 26 N. I adore it!!!
Yay! I'm so glad you love the Elf concealer!
I buy mostly drug store brands. I used to only buy high end department store brands. I have found especially in the last 10 years that I can have a good skin care and make up routine buying drug store while saving a tremendous amount of money. The only time I consider any department store brand is when there is some sort of promotional offer.
Very helpful! I haven’t tried any of these products but I want to try the elf product! Thank you for sharing!💗💗💗
Thank you for this video! I have the mini of the Charlotte that I use sparingly due to the cost. I think I will try the Elf so I can get the effect a bit more cost effectively. I was wondering if I should but it! You convinced me to give it a try!! Thank you!!
Thank you Lexia! I love having both products for different purposes...and the Elf is SO affordable!
Thx for review- I love a glow on my older drier skin. I will definitely put the Elf on my list to try
This is a great comparison on mature skin but in all truths the E.l.f. side came out slightly better with the foundation blended. The CT side came out too radiant that it looks a little oily. But that depends how you use these products on your skin.
I appreciate your showing a range of the Elf Halo Glow colors..I have very dry skin and always interested in products that will give my skin more radiance particulary if they are drugstore items with some decent skin care ingredients..I also prefer warm tone colors and a thicker consistancy..Nothing can be too greasy for my skin..lol
Thank you Stephanie! Elf sounds perfect for you! ❤️
Hi Tamara, I had no idea Elf came out with this. Your review was excellent and you look so pretty! Have a wonderful Sunday.
My favorite Lady! LOVE your videos & look forward to them.
Aww...thank you for your sweet comment ❤️
Great review Tamara. Thank you so much for this. Elf suits my budget. I do have the mini of the CT flawless setting spray and I like that. Might have to go for that elf as my skin is on the warmer side. Both looked fabulous on you but I agree with you on the highlighter use - the CT did look better on your skin.
Hi! I think you looked equally lovely with both products. The difference was so very subtle, you are the only one who would actually notice. I really love your videos, and I’m so glad I found someone my own age making quality content. Looking forward to your next one!
Love your channel! I have mature combo oily (leaning oily) so I am always trying to avoid looking uber slick, i mean dewy ;)
Lucky you to have natural glow ❤️
So happy you reviewed both of these, had wanted to purchase the CT for awhile but as £ is high wanted to see a full review: I thought there was only a subtle difference, that the Elf gave you more coverage (as full primer) but CT looked a more natural finish. Also more Illuminating as a highlighter. Thank You for your full review 👌🏻
Thank you Linda! I'm so glad you found it helpful! ❤️
Thank you for the fantastic comparison! I am going to pass on the Elf as my Hollywood Flawless filter in shade 1 is perfect and lasts forever. Cheers!
Thank you for another great video. I appreciate how you went over the different ways to use these products. 😀💙
Hi Michelle
Thank you for the thorough comparison and review! I have been wanting to try the Elf, but want to see it in person to make sure I get the best shade for me. I haven't found it in the store yet, but feel I'll be looking more at the shade 1 or 2, as I run more on the cool/neutral side, as well.
I prefer the CT. I am fair and also I don't like any products that are thick. You look beautiful! Happy Sunday Tamara! Oh, forgot to mention I have the mini of the CT. Would not pay that much for the larger size and I don't use products up very quickly
Totally agree on Minis! When I first purchased the CT it wasn't available in the mini...going on 2 years now and still a long way to go to finish it up. I wanted to try the CT Cream Bronzer everyone is raving about...but it's HUGE and expensive...waiting for the mini LOL.
Yay! I'm so glad you reviewed this! You're right ~ I can't tell the difference between the 2 on camera. I recently received a bottle in shade 1 (fair) and like to use it with my Milani super charged brightening under eye tint (110 pink rose) as it really helps to "wake up" that part of my face. ELF really knocked it out of the park with this one!
p.s. Your eyelashes look incredible!!
Thank you! And I'm so glad the Elf is working for you!
Hi Tamara! Wow ! Your finished result is beautiful . I like a glow and I’m obsessed with the Charlotte Tilbury flawless filter , I use 3 in the summer and 2 fair in the winter and only as a highlighter . I started duping it on my days off , not to use up the pricy potion ; with the Lumi glotion but with very little , can be a little metallic . I recently found from Mrs. Melissa M . the Pixie flawless Beauty Primer and it is perfectly glowing under my foundations that are a little more matte like you mentioned the Sephora one . The elf seems great but I’m sticking with CT! Have a great week 🌸
Thank you Sue! I use the CT exactly how you do. It's really is a wonderful product...but happy to have found an affordable glowy primer. Have a great week! ❤️
Great video! I just bought the It Glow. I tried it alone and didn't like it. My face felt sticky all day. I mixed it in with my Born This Way Foundation and I a liking it better. I will try the Elf because the It Glow cost me $44. By the way, your eyes looked beautiful in the finish product.❤️
Thank you Leila! I've been having fun playing with my new Sigma Enchanted Mini Eyeshadow palette!
Looking forward to watching this, I'm glad some CT products like this, come in travel sizes. That's what I have this in.. Next time I'd probably try a dupe. Thanks Tamara😊.
Hi Tamara, I am excited to try the Elf foundation 🤗
Happy Sunday Connie! ❤️
I think you put a little more of the CT and that’s why it seems more glowey. They’re both beautiful.
I have several Elf cosmetics but mostly for my eyes and concealer. Their moisturitzer is basic and nice. Cream pot blush blends nicely good color. I also have Sephora Best Skin Every foundation which I really liked until the lady at Nordstrom turned me on to Lacome foundation ($43), now I hope my Sephora one isn't too old to continue again. I would like to get the Elf liquid glow highlighter now that you demonstrated it here especially the Sephora foundation. I always though I was a cool but the Lady at Lacome said I am a warm. So I'm not sure what to buy next. Yes I agree the elf is heavier and warmer compared to CT hollywood flawless filter. When you added foundation the elf worked better also. I just wonder where sunscreen would fit in? ( I also hear that in the comment section) That's the most important to me. Thanks for explaining things so well as you always do in your videos. You even looked more beautiful with your completed look.
Thank you Jane! Good question. These products work well over my SPFs. SPF is the last step of skin care…let it set 19-15 min then apply primers and/or foundation/tinted complexion cosmetics. Hope this helps!
Hi, I have been trying to get my hands on this ELF product to try it out but it’s sold out everywhere. I’ve heard good things about it so I wanted to see for myself. Maybe once things settle down it’ll be available again. Thanks for sharing, Dolores 🥰
I had the same problem finding it that’s why this review is a tad “late”. But I entered my email onto the elf website and they notified me when back in stock.
Hello, I have to say I like the Elf side better on bare skin.
Im cool neutral light to medium too. The elf seems pinker then the CT.
Thank you Tamara I think I would go for the elf because of the price factor and you don’t need too much, but I don’t bother with too much with a glow but it looked nice on you. Hugs Bea
I’ve been waiting to purchase the elf. My shade keeps going out of stock before I can click “add to cart” 🤣!! Thanks for the review 💜
Go to Target. Go to the customer service department of Target. They hold them in the back. You won’t see it on the Elf display on the floor at Target
By the way I love your channel so much
You are probably a shade 1?
@@kuklakid oh that’s a great secret shopper tip 🙏🤣
@@beyond50skin I learned this week. Couldn’t find it on the shelf. Saw it was available at the location and then when I went up there the CS person knew what I was talking about. And Tamara is right about the shade range but once I exchanged the Elf 3 to the Elf 2 it was great. I have tons of high end makeup but I’m not the biggest CT fan and for my purposes Elf works fine although it is more yellow than I would like.
Amazing review and information! Thank you.
Thank you! I'm so glad it was helpful!
Enjoyed the comparisons. Thanks for this.🤩
Great video! Loved them both when mixed with foundation!
Thank you Kiki! It was the first time I actually saw a difference that a glowy primer could make.
Thanks Tamara; I do like Ct better as a highlighter but will definitely mix Elf with foundations esp in the cooler months, when I need warm base to cover my winter skin. Enjoy your August sunshine! Perfect review . I order from Elf now for brow wow. CLEANSING balm, halo setting powder ; brushes; brown mascara, & lipliners. They’re really duping a lot of high end products, thanks 🌷🌷
I'm loving many Elf products as well...AND their skin care! ❤️
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty future content: Elf skincare or makeup recs?? 🪴🪴
I just watched a UA-camr mix foundation, halo glow and one small drop of oil. Like rosehip Looked nice ❤
I love the Elf. I have so many primer products and I wouldn’t pay $42 for CT
I've never gotten into primers under makeup...just didn't see the difference. The Elf is the first primer I have actually enjoyed...will definitely be using it as a primer and to mix in with foundation!
Great review Tamara
On the comparison of using it for highlighting, I think that there was more product used on the Charlotte Tillbury side than the Elf side. But either way, I think that the Tillbury side was a little too illuminating, with the Elf being a little more subtle. Both are nice products, it looks like.
Happy Sunday beautiful Tamara! 😍❤️
And to you Sweet Mimi! ❤️
Both looks are beautiful!
I like the Charlotte Tillbury better. You look lovely. I enjoy your caml , soothing presentation.
Great comparison!
Great comparison. Thank you
I will always go for the less expensive, nothing from CT is in my budget .
Hey Tamara 🤗🤗 hope all is well your end ♥️
Happy Sunday Michelle! ❤️
Wondering how they work over SPF? THANKS!!!
Good question! I usually wear a tinted SPF and didn't want the finish or the tint to alter the comparisons so I applied on clean, moisturized skin. But I have not found any issues with either product over a variety of my tinted mineral SPFs.
Excellent review I haven’t tried either one but may keep it in mind. How would it work under a BB cream?
Hi Tamara - Forgive this random, unrelated question, but do you have a recommendation for a good non-acetone nail polish remover? Mine no longer gets the job done quickly or effectively. Maybe there’s an alternative product out there? I also think I need to use a base coat. Any you like best? Thank you! 🌷🌸🌷
Thank you again for another great video!
I see these big bottles of makeup, like I have it myself, and recently it's been making me think a lot about expiration date. We usually use makeup waaaay past its expiry, and we care so much for our skin, with such great serums and moisturizers, but then we go and use a makeup item that's been open for 2 years. I see this all over UA-cam and I do it myself. Are we doing this wrong? Or am I overacting? Would love to hear what you think, Tamara! I really value your opinion. Thanks! Have a great Sunday.
Thank you JC and Good question! Apparently in the US cosmetics are not required to have an expiration date. It is a concern for sure...in addition to age, I go by smell and consistency. (so far my CTHFF is holding up but I do need to use it up!). I recently decluttered a couple of foundations that were pretty old, just to be on the safe side. And that is one of the reasons I love Minis so much. I am linking an article that gave some general guidelines on how long various types of products are thought to last. Hope you find it helpful! www.domino.com/content/cosmetic-expiration-date-cleaning-makeup-guide/
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty thank you, Tamara! You are so sweet. I usually check that little jar on the back label, that tells how long you can keep it once it's open, and it's usually 6 months or so, which is scary! Specially for someone who doesn't use makeup everyday, it could take forever to finish it up. I love this idea, I'm going to start buying minis! Thank you so much for your thoughts, can't wait for next Sunday!
I will purchase the e.l.f. and mix it with a matte foundation I have from “IT” brand which is too matte for me. I hope it works. 🙂
Sounds great! It definitely worked wonders on my Catrice Matte foundation!
I am surprised that CT was lighter as I generally find her products are too deep for me. I am fair so I do know ELF will not work with my complexion. Thanks for the deep dive on all the application techniques. , Tamara. I agree the CT looked best as a highlighter and understand why you prefer that product. Since just a little is needed as a highlighter, the $44 doesn’t seem too much as it will last a long time.
Did you try elf 2 to see if that color was better?
How do,I find the description listing the products you used. I like the way it used to be.
I agree, It is harder to find since they changed it..once you click the title/arrow on a mobile device or the show more on a computer, you have to scroll down. But I just pinned a comment and included the full description box. I'm going to try to remember to do that each week to make it easy to find.

Great upload 😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What does radiance mean as far as makeup is concerned? Does it mean shine?
I have been using the CT in shade 3, but I just purchased the ELF in shade 2. I put them both on my face as a highlighter and the the ELF one was just a tad "glowier", but they looked almost identical. I do prefer (like you do) to use the CT as a highlighter, but I am going to try the ELF tomorrow, with new makeup and see what that looks like. I kind of want to purchase the ELF in shade 3, but it does look a lot more orangey than the shade 2. I am a neutral warm on most of my face, so I don't know if the shade 3 will make than much of a difference. Do you think, if used as a highlight, it will not be as glowy as the shade 2? I find that the CT, when used as a highlight, is not that noticeable (so for me, not that luminizing) or maybe it's because I am using shade 3??
I like the elf side the best.
Omg you’re stunning!
As a side by side comparison, you’ve demonstrated that there is only a subtle difference between the CT and E.l.f. For me though, these two products I’m adding to the list I call-“What’s the Difference Between?”-WTDB-a primer & foundation-a concealer or primer-a BB cream & primer-a CC cream & BB cream-BB/CC creams and concealers-concealers and foundations? But for tint and consistency, they generally seem to do the same things! My favorite part of your video is the very beginning-seeing your face look a bit sun-kissed. I know we’re not supposed to allow the sun to tint our skin as that coloring represents damage. But you did look a bit “burnt?” (I hope that’s not considered a criticism). Your bare face today prompted happy memories many summers spent at the Jersey Shore getting that same effect on my face while the rest of my body got incredibly tan. It was kind of fun being ignorant and brown.
Thank you for recommending 13 Lives...it was Fantastic! And yes, no matter how diligent I am with SOFs and hats..by the end of the summer I definitely get a bit sunkissed. I take that as a complement ❤️
grreat video =like your lipstick shade
Thank you Marlene...as it turns out the Lisa Eldridge Sunday Matinee shade is my most used so far of all the Lisa Eldridge Lipsticks I picked up a month ago. I love how subtle yet brightening it is. Of course I glossed it up a tad with City Beauty.
I feel charlotte has a softer more natural sheen . Elf is pretty but a bit oily looking imo
FYI, City Beauty has 50% off sale with code SKIN50-sale ends Aug 16. They have great plumping gloss I think you use.
Thanks for the heads up!
You were VERY shiny to begin with BEFORE you even applied The Elf or the Charlette~~ probably due to a shiny sunscreen underneath. It just made your face look greasy. So next time, I would use a more satin/matte sunscreen like the Elta MD or even Paula's Choice. Good idea to at least use a more mattering foundation to balance out the super shine you have going on. I can't wait to buy to use only underneath a more satin/ matte or pure matte, like Diors Matte, or even Lancome Teint Idole matte. Think using this Elf Halo Glow will be beautiful making any matte foundation you love a LITTLE more dewy looking than dry/powdery. Yes Tamara, the grand fanale' look with both foundations you chose looks beautiful. I DO think the ELF is DEFINITELY a dupe like 85% of other creators point out ❤ PS Your bluppers at the end of your videos make me laugh every time 😅
what nail polish color are you wearing?
I always forget to link my nail polish! Today I had on Sally Hansen Color Therapy in the shade 199 Eiffel in Love ❤️
I differ with you. I would definitely call Elf’s Glow highlight filter innovative when they can make a profit from a 14$ product that Charlotte Tilbury charges 44$.
Good point ❤️
I don't like the look alone,it's too "tin manish" I would mix it for sure.
I think you put a tad too much on both sides, having said that the elf side looks better including the color
I liked the Charlotte tillbury side way better! The elf side looked a little greasy and muddy. The Charlotte side looked smooth and luminous.
defiantly Elf ...skin looks more natural and not like a slice of bacon lol
I’m not a makeup guru but I don’t really see any difference.
I think the Elf looks more natural. I like it better on you.
Personally I don’t see a difference in the two products
Elf looked better.
🖤
Judging your forehead and around eyes the elf was much better
No difference to me!
You are so beautiful
You are so sweet ❤️
Great video! Very informative! Thank you!
