Charlotte Tilbury Brightening Youth Glow Review Swatches

Colour correcting is a minefield, there's a million and one different products - all of which happen to come in various pastel shades - that have to be seemingly expertly applied to reap the benefits. It can be tedious, time consuming and frankly confusing, but what if one product could offer a quick and easy fix to all your uneven complexion woes? Well Charlotte Tilbury Brightening Youth Glow could be the one-stop solution to dullness, redness and perhaps even the odd blemish too.

If I could use one word to describe Charlotte Tilbury Brightening Youth Glow it would be easy (steady on); from the straight forward, no non-sense and leak free packaging, to the physical application, it is a breeze to not only use but incorporate into a daily beauty routine - isn't that something we can all get on board with?

Charlotte Tilbury Brightening Youth Glow is a hybrid product both in use and physical properties; for instance, it can be utilised as a primer before make-up, applied on it's own, and/or applied as a liquid highlighter - how is that for bang for your buck?

As you have most likely gathered, Charlotte Tilbury Brightening Youth Glow is a skin luminising product - a gentle and highly sophisticated glow-inducing liquid that delivers a quick pick me up without the need for heavy glitter, nor shimmer particles. Rather it features Pearlescent pigments which bounce light to distract from any dullness, helping to soften & blur lines and dark circles. Being a Charlotte Tilbury product, Brightening Youth Glow is marriage of both make-up and skincare, and as such contains ingredients to care for your complexion, long after the glow has wore off: Watercress to brighten;Vitamin B3 to even out skin tone; Olive Extract to plump and moisturise; and lastly Chlorella (green algae extract) to stimulates even pigment distribution across the skin for an even tone - pretty nifty huh?

Sure a lightweight, non-greasy, adaptable skin boosting highlighter is great but what if it can go one step further and eradicate redness from the skin too? Well to an extent, Charlotte Tilbury Brightening Youth Glow does just that. I won't pretend that Brightening Youth Glow calms redness in the way a green corrective product can, it does however help to tone down any pinkness within my skin - it is also wonderful for taming angry, pigmentation marks left behind from healing blemishes. In my opinion, it's real colour correcting power lies in the under-eye area; I've tried many products and this is one of the few that really squashes the blue/purple tones of dark circles with ease, which is pretty rare. 

In my opinion, Charlotte Tilbury Brightening Youth Glow isn't truly a colour correcting product - yes it does help to gently par down redness and brighten but it won't resolve a lot of skin tone issues. However if you are looking to inject a subtle, healthy glow with next to no effort and treat the slight colour correcting qualities as a bonus feature so to speak, you will not be disappointed.
