I’ve found my new favourite beauty product that’s a must for holidays as it provides skincare and SPF in one.
When packing for your holiday, one of the most important consideration is what goes in your make-up bag. I’ve been searching for a product which gives me great coverage and protects my skin and I’ve found it - the e.l.f. Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50.
It is the kind of beauty buy that you need for when you travel and have limited space because it does two important jobs in one. It combines lightweight coverage, skincare benefits and high SPF protection in one easy step.
What made this stand out for me straight away is the texture. It has a serum-like feel that melted into my skin rather than sitting heavily on top, so the finish looks seamless and is breathable - a must when you’re in a warm climate.
Instead of significantly changing my complexion, it evened my natural skin tone and blurred minor imperfections and I felt it gave me a healthy, dewy glow. I’m going on holiday soon and I can see it being ideal for those really hot days when full foundation feels like too much.
I really liked the subtle glow it gave me too. It gave me that fresh, glass-skin luminosity that caught beautifully in the light, helping my skin look hydrated and vibrant. Crucially for my personal prefernece, I didn’t really look like I was wearing make-up, which is what I prefer, but if you like a heavier look you can layer it to look deeper and stronger.
The e.l.f. Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50 isn’t just a great skincare product, a major plus is the SPF 50 mineral protection that it offers. Having sun protection built into a complexion product will make getting ready faster and easier in the mornings when I’m on holiday, and that means I can get out the hotel door quicker and enjoy my day. That’s a big win.
If you’ve been searching for a complexion product that gives glow without heaviness, coverage without cakiness, and everyday practicality with SPF included, I can say from experience that the e.l.f. Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50 is a great choice.
It’s available in 18 flexible shades, so you can choose the one that matches your skintone best. This means the e.l.f. Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50 will not only help to protect you in the sun but it was also complement your natural skintone and elevate your fresh skin. It has also been recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation as safe and effective sun protection so you can use with total peace of mind.
When I first started using it I did feel like it looked a little light in the tube, but once I’d put it on my face and blended properly I soon realised it matched my skin perfectly, so don’t be alarmed if you think the same when you receive your order. Plus, you can buy in complete confidence as e.l.f. Cosmetics offers a shade match guarantee - which I think is brilliant - so if you’re not 100% happy with the shade you chose, you’ll get a refund within 30 days.
Whether you’re lounging by the pool, exploring a new city or enjoying time in your own back garden, this SPF make-up hero is created to keep your skin shielded against UVA and UVB rays. It’s water-resistant for up to 80 minutes too, non-comedogenic, and dermatologist-tested. And, as with all e.l.f. Cosmetics make-up and skincare, it is of course cruelty-free and vegan.
The Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50 is part of the wider Halo Glow collection from e.l.f. Cosmetics, a range built around enhancing skin with lightweight, glow-boosting formulas. Take a look at the e.l.f. Cosmetics website to see the full range.
