Halo Glow Powder Filter
Summary of Reviews
e.l.f. Halo Glow Powder Filter offers noticeable coverage, usable as a powder foundation or a luminous finishing powder without adding oil. Several creators note it gives a decent amount of glow that's not a full highlighter, and one describes the texture as "straight buttery to the touch." However, one creator mentions it can also knock down the glow a bit, suggesting it may reduce shine for some users.
