Influencer Heaven!

Why should I purchase this when everyone else on the review received it for free? Tilbury no.

Liked but thought it would be better

It's very nice & smooth when gliding onto my face. However, it does actually work like a tinted moisturizer vs working like a full foundation product. I was going to return it but I think i will keep it for days that i want just a hint of color. It will also work under your foundation. I'm not saying it's a bad product (because it's not) what I'm trying to explain is that it's not good to use like a regular foundation. My skin tone is really hard to match. I may look fair skinned but if...

Sheer and shimmery

The color names are a little confusing when it goes from fair to medium. I'm usually in the light category, and on the higher end towards medium so I chose the highest fair shade. It's dark and I could've definitely gone down a shade. It's also as shimmery as my highlighter, which isn't my vibe for all over my face. Especially in my 30s. It is very, very sheer. It didn't provide any coverage for my redness. I'm really unsure of it's purpose except maybe you just finished tanning at the beach...

Could have been perfect…. But

I had high hopes for this. It would have been magic except Charlotte went overboard with the glow. It’s like smearing highlighter over your entire face. The formula is thin and hydrating. It blends well and doesn’t cling to dry spots but aside from that it’s truly awful. It looks very obvious on the skin because it’s more illuminating than the flawless filter. The idea of a skin tint is that it is undetectable. This is very obviously makeup looking and if I wanted to look made up I...

Perfect base for dry skin and light coverage

Where do I start? While I am blessed with clear skin, I’m cursed by extremely DRY, dull skin. I think this may be my holy grail “foundation.” Foundation is indeed a stretch - it has the coverage of a tinted moisturizer, but that’s all I want. I’m typically someone who mixes a glowy primer-type product in with my foundations/tints to sheer them out. This gives me that in one. Just enough to even my tone and cover my light redness—frankly, more coverage than I expected when reading other...

Good for a quick skin like routine

I literally put this on as soon as I got it! It’s pretty sheer coverage; I’d say it’s a little too dark for me but it’s sheer enough to get away with. The finish is very natural satin, your skin but better. I think it’s very buildable, I used two layers and it covered my dark marks and hyperpigmentation. I only took one star off because the stick itself is so soft, I’m afraid of it breaking. But I love it and I’d definitely buy it again.

Big Yikes

If you want to see any texture that is on your skin, this is for you! It does not “set” well even with powder and setting spray. I can feel it in my skin all day long when is not something I personally enjoy.

Not for the 35+ ladies

I got the awesome opportunity to test out this Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Skin Sheer Glow foundation stick. Unfortunately, it didn’t hit the mark for me. Easy to apply and melts into the skin for sure, but also never feels as though it sets (has moved, settled, and disappeared quite a bit with wear even after setting with powder). The shimmer and lack of coverage it offers gives more of a highlight feel than a true foundation.

Love!

Beautiful glow. Sheer coverage but enough for me with my 52 year old skin

Hard pass

This product is the absolute worst. I love CT airbrush foundation so I tried this but it looks like I smeared crisco all over my face. You can’t put powder over it either because it looks like I mixed flour with butter. You will glow to high heaven but not in a good way. My husband actually asked me why I was sweating so bad. I will be returning. Even my lips are greasy from this product.

One of my favourite things. Very hydrating to skin. I wish it’s full coverage.

Jenni Oct 31, 2026

Subtle and beautiful

This adds a lovely, very light coverage to the skin (like a veil) and makes it beautifully glowy. It also hold up pretty well.
