I am in l 37 and I LOOOOOVE this! I requested a sample 3 times and used it....I have to say after the 1st time I was in love; but I still used the rest of my samples and I just loved it even more I HAD to buy the full product. Use it under your foundation, ai use a light fountain after this (benefit happy hello) and I LOOOOOVE this product, ot takes any foundation to the next level! It doesn't make pores look bigger, gives you a glow...I am forever a fan

Full of Silicone
First 5 ingredients are 3 types of silicone and alcohol. How is this good for my skin? All the "natural" "good for my skin" ingredients are at the bottom of the ingredients, meaning the product contains very little. Sorry, not what I want on my face.

Doesn't live up to the hype...spend elsewhere
I was so excited to try this product because of the hype surrounding it! Truly I think you could get a similar product from the drugstore ...absolutely nothing special about it and the cost is so outrageous - I say spend your money elsewhere and or buy one of the coveted primers that everyone swears by. They must pay the girls to say how amazing this product is because I just don't see it.

Visible glitter
This is marketed for mature skin, but no. Just no. It has visible glitter that accentuates texture, pores, and wrinkles. Oh heck no. This irritated my sensitive skin as well. It’s just not flattering, no matter how you mix/ use it. I expected so much more. Makes me apprehensive to try more from the brand.

The Wonder of WonderGlow!
I have loved Charlotte Tilbury since it launched! I literally own some of every product. This product is great for waking up your complexion. I actually apply it over my foundation to amp up the glow. It gives a slight golden shimmer. I am not one who likes heavy highlight or strobing so this is perfect. In the summer, I use this as my only foundation. It gives a slight sun kissed shimmer. It really moisturizes your skin as well!

Professional Wedding Makeup Glow
I'm a big fan of Charlotte Tilbury's line. (seriously!)
This is great alone on a quick out the door to the store kind of day or my favorite way is by mixing in my foundation with it for an unbelieveable, ethereal wedding make-up kind of glow. It is beautiful.
NiaTaylorAug 13, 2018
If you have clear skin, & want to get away with not wearing foundation in the summer... then say hello to your new best friend. Instant glow, I highly recommend it.

Not exactly a primer but beautiful !!!
I love this, it’s actually a really beautiful primer BUT honestly it’s too shimmery to be a primer and doesn’t provide a smooth surface/even out texture
jen3791Aug 09, 2023
Try putting makeup over this, I dare you
I have a hellish tally running for all the products I hate, that are supposed to be primers or tinted moisturizers that can be combined with other products but instead create little chunks that roll off your skin and make you look like you have leprosy. This is one of them.
harmanbSep 19, 2021
works wonders
Okay so this primer has a shimmer gives you that dewy look and honestly something that’s all i wear with some blush and mascara. I’m attaching a picture where that’s all i have on!

Good for mature skin
Had a small travel size of this and loved it so got the real one. Love it all on its own, I don’t wear a lot of face makeup anymore, and this just makes my skin look better. Love this product.

Stunning on this old skin
Just WOW ! Easy to apply and blend lasted almost a whole day. Everything that I wanted in this product.

Great hydrating primer with some sheen
I like this primer a lot, it’s very refreshing and it has the same scent that the magic serum has, which I love. I don’t know if the primer makes makeup last long but it hydrates pretty well.
serena333VerifiedMay 20, 2026
It a no from me
I just got this & it sadly did not work / cooperate with my face. I wanted to try something new. I have oily skin & this made it really very dry all while my liquid foundation / setting powder of my usual routine did not set well at all. Instead of making my make up look good, natural & radiant- it looks like it’s sitting on my face with a flaky look. I will stick to my Estée Lauder!

Leaves my skin so smooth, in top of prepping my skin and moisturizing of course but it’s so light and smooth. i love it

Nice with skin tint
I’m in my mid 40s and I no longer wear foundation. I use a skin tint and this sits nicely under it and provides a nice “glow”. Yes, it is glitter, but my sensitive skin hasn’t had a reaction yet

The perfect primer!
It primes and keeps your skin hydrating. Really creates the glowy effect.

An every day part of routine....glowing
I've been using this for several years now, both under foundation and just over my daily face routine. Love it. Gives me a subtle glow if I don't want to wear makeup and gives me a little extra with it. Covers the redness of my rosecea as well. I have sensitive skin that goes off at the slightest inconvenience, but no issues with this.

The perfect glowy base
LOVE this face primer! I'm not one that uses a lot of primer but whenever I do I always go for this one as it's the perfect glowy base

CamerinaGJul 14, 2025
It wasn’t too much of a fan with this one. My face is really oily and I feel like the primer just made it even more oily and it makes me break out.
ChenoadoveFeb 28, 2025
Only wears well for a few hours
I love this when I first put it on (under both matte and glow foundations), but by hour four I look like an oil slick and I do not have oily skin. You can also forget it if you’re going to be in the sun at all. It will melt your foundation.
TtmatsuraFeb 11, 2025
I don't see a difference
Maybe it's just me, but i didnt noticed a difference. :(
It smells great, feels great but literally did nothing.
Also, just fyi- it was fine under the Fenty skin tint but it flakes and peels under the Tir Tir and or the Clio cushion foundations.

Basically glitter
Just microglitter. But visibly so. Very disappointed. I expected better from CT. If you want a glow without obvious glitter flecks, try CT Hollywood Flawless Filter. Now that one is truly fabulous!

Not a huge fan
This product has a really strong floral smell. It also has a lot of shimmer, which you cant really tell from the picture. I use clean hands to apply primer to my face, and would have to go wash my hands again after applying this primer, due to how shimmery my hands would get after application. I also dont wear a lot of makeup, and you can see the shimmer all day long.
The primer does feel a bit greasy when you first put it on, but as the day goes on, it gets better and you dont feel like a...

Worth the extra cost
I wouldn’t normally pay so much for a primer, but I got a GC for Christmas.
I love it, will last forever! It looks like it will go on with colour, but it doesn’t. Goes on smooth, not sticky. I’ve recently become a CT fan, have the foundation.
Best of all, people have noticed! Friends have mentioned how well I look, yeah. Lol.

Smells Like Old Lady
I really couldn't get past the smell. It smells old. It was also too dark for me so I had to return this one. This was my first and only purchase from this brand. I would like to try the magic serum. I'm hoping it doesn't smell bad!

New Must have..
I love this primer..Sometimes I only wear primer, and I can continue to do that with this primer, because it gives you a lil glow, and a tiny bit of coverage. It's perfect for me. If you have oily skin, this product may not be for you..This is great for dry aging skin..

Use almost daily.
This is my second time purchasing this. I actually like it. Some scathing reviews but for my olive skin which is neither oily nor dry, it works great. Sometimes I wear wear alone or under foundation .
dhaliwalbbyAug 08, 2023
Pricey but delivers
Perfect glowy primer for dry skin! Product goes on top perfectly, and glow shines through without being oily. Get this over the Hollywood filter for sure. Def has gone up in price though so really a splurge.
klwagnerJun 22, 2023
Not a universal shade, contains small glitter. I feel like it this was in different shades I would like it more. Also not great for oily skin as it’s quite emollient.
GemmanemmaMay 14, 2023
It was okay
I bought into the influencer hype and decided to give this a try. For the price point, it really didn’t do anything noticeable for me. I will not be repurchasing.
AthebbieVerifiedMar 14, 2023
Will Not Be Repurchasing
Comes with very little product and left my skin feeling dry. Although I love the glow it gives to the skin, it really does not stand out from other primers, especially given its high price-point.

Holy Glow
I was really unsure about this product and I found a lot of “dupes” when I was looking into it but, none of them had the skin care ingredients that I was liking about this. After reading all the positives reviews I decided to try it. I was apprehensive at first because we know that shimmer enhances fine lines and being in my (almost) mid 30s that’s that last thing I want! The first time I used this I wasn’t overly impressed with much, it felt very nice but I didn’t notice my skin looking...

Would purchase again
I purchased this because I didn’t feel my usual (non-Charlotte Tilbury) primer wasn’t working well with my CT foundation. This does of course work well so I’m pleased with my purchase. It also is great as a stand alone product to wear without foundation and gives complexion a dewy glow without looking oily.
sncmtlVerifiedJun 30, 2022
Super effective product!
The rose scent is pretty present (even after it dries), it's a nice rose scent but be aware if rose isn't your thing. Super effective product!!! Very versatile! I love wearing it on its own!

Feels good on the face but doesn’t stay all day. Disappointing.

I had high hopes for Charlotte Tilbury products. I was looking for a new make up line since it seems the Laura Mercier products are never in stock. This product is advertised to give you a Dewey look but it gave me nothing. I’m completely disappointed with this and the eyeliner I purchased from Charlotte Tilbury. I’m definitely returning it this week.

Surprising new holy grail
I got this as a sample from Charlotte Tilbury’s website when I ordered setting spray (Sephora was sold out), and was totally blown away by the results. Ive been searching for a good primer for my finicky 36 year old skin and I honestly wasn’t expecting much from this but omg it makes my skin look gorgeous! My skin is oily some days and dry on other days, and this works no matter how my skin is feeling. It gives my face a soft luminous, almost candle lit glow and smoothes out texture and...

New favorite primer
I got a little sample of this primer a couple weeks ago, and I refuse to use any other primer now. It makes my foundation (I wear the Lancome 24hr long-wear one!) last all day, it makes my skin look super glowy and healthy and it reduces the appearance of pores. As someone who has fairly oily skin - at least it gets oily-ish throughout the day - I was pleasantly surprised that I have found a primer that makes my skin look GLOWY but not GREASY. Obviously had to order the big size! Give this...
amaliya2295Apr 21, 2022
Dissappointment...
It hydrates your skin but doesn't do anything else... I mean it was supposed to provide either a glowy skin or to fix the makeup, but I couldn't notice anything close to that. I loved the packaging, the texture, the smell. BUT the product is supposed to work. Or it didn't work with my BB? Anyways, I'm dissappointed and will be looking for a new primer.
rassssVerifiedFeb 21, 2022
Disappointed...
Really wanted to like this product, but it doesn't stay put. It's a glitter ball, greasy, and makeup comes off. The whole point of a primer is to be a base that keeps makeup put throughout the day, but this doesn't do that.
Can't return it either since it's been far past the return date ;/
jrodri1987Jan 14, 2022
I really like this primer. I actually don’t use it as a primer. I put a little foundation and mix it and it turns out to be a very lightweight tinted moisturizer. I like that it makes my skin look dewy.
domegarcesDec 21, 2021
completely amazing if you don’t like to feel makeup. It’s so natural and I love it, if you are looking for some coverage it has almost none but it leaves your skin looking fresh and it unifies a bit more your skin tone.
browngirlatbestNov 15, 2021
Unimpressive & unnecessarily shimmery
It doesn't help with makeup wear, it doesn't help add any dewiness, just some fine glitter stuff that gets hidden by foundation (it's like putting a very sparse layer of micro-fine glitter on your face). I really don't understand what benefit this thing is supposed to have, and especially for the price...hard pass
ClarissaMunozOct 29, 2021
Bought and immediately returned this product. Can’t stand the scent! For it being so pricy I at least expect it to smell nice or have no scent at all. I also didn’t like the “glow” it’s basically fine glitter. No thanks.

Low sheen light cream great for those without pores or pigmentation(that’s not me!)
Very light luster so good option for those looking for less shine
funpackApr 26, 2021
Not a full coverage primer
Although it is considered a primer I would not recommend this product if you are a full foundation coverage person. The 'sparkles' will not show through and the product is not slick enough to support full coverage or layering. That said if you use a light layer of foundation or you are looking for something to compliment a bare face this could be used as
a one and done product. Wonder Glow is light and feels great on your skin.
ladywithmoneyApr 15, 2021
Doesn’t do anything.
This doesn’t do anything at all under your foundation. No glow through your foundation. As far as a primer goes i had better such as Laura Mercier. I find C.T. to be over rated, and not that great.
laurrrsMar 23, 2021
airbrushed!
I am in LOVE with this primer. I didn’t notice any glow to it when applied, but my foundation has never looked better! It literally looks airbrushed. I will say the scent is horrible. It smells like roses which I hate, but it goes away pretty quickly and doesn’t linger thankfully. If I didn’t receive a free sample I would’ve never thought to try this. I know what I’m getting During the VIB sale!!

It is not for my dryer combination skin. I wish I would have loved it but I can’t. It does have great silk application and nice sparkles once it settles on skin but it would be more for someone with oily skin

ToriRodzJan 08, 2021
I really wanted to love this but it is all hype! I have dry and sensitive skin. Her Light Wonder foundation is really good but I needed a primer to help keep my makeup from turning chalky within 2 hours and I thought using the primer of the same brand would work. Boy what a mistake that was!!
Not only is the glow due to glittery particles but it dried my face and neck even more and faster. For something of this price point it should not be the case.
Honestly, stick with the Becca primers!...
DanielizabethvJan 03, 2021
Just ok - drying!
I was hoping to mix this with liquid foundation to add a bit of a glow, but it is sooo drying! All lustre is lost almost instantly. I have been using it up by applying it before a pressed powder for any zoom meetings. This creates a just-enough blur for low-res on camera meetings.
girlpushespenDec 24, 2020
Perfect Glow
This has been an absolute game changer in my foundation routine! I first received it as a sample but ended up buying it because I loved it! I find that with combination skin, matte is too drying and the dewy look can appear greasy. However wearing this combined with my primer under my foundation provides just the right amount of moisture and glow to create a perfect balance. Totally worth the price!
JasbertheletDec 20, 2020
In love
Love this primer! I’ve read many reviews that this primer is too glittery and was scared that it would be but it’s only glittery when it’s swatched. I apply this + the beauty filter and it makes my skin look so glowy, worth the price tag ♥️
niknikgalNov 22, 2020
Too glittery
Got a 100 pt reward sample of this. Found it to be mostly glitter rather than anything else. Don't feel that it acts as much of a primer. I might put this on my decolletage for a little sparkle, but not really a good primer for face. I prefer my glow sans glitter particles.
LynStewBruNov 18, 2020
Amazing- Can’t live without this! I use this every day!! Even though it is pricey it is worth every penny. is awesome by itself or as a primer under foundation. Gives the skin a nice subtle glow. I highly recommend

Not for oily skin
Didn't love this product - Sephora sold this to me as a tinted moisturizer.... when I put it on, it worked okay. But after I looked at my skin in 5 hours it was SO SHINY!!! This may work as a primer, but as a tinted moisturizer to wear on its own.. it's a no for me. I am heading to Sephora today to return and exchange for something else. Hoping to find something easy that works for me!

It’s not glowy, it’s glittery
I received this product as a sample and used it every day to really form an opinion. From the name, I assumed this would be dewy and add a glossiness to the skin, but this isn’t moisturizing or glowy. It’s actually gold shimmer, and I found it to emphasize texture and not look natural on the skin.
tiffgurlSep 06, 2020
Not for me
This foundation has a really nice finish, it gives you a radiant glow. But unfortunately, I have skin on the drier side, and it really emphasized my pores and fine lines ending up making me look extremely dry and aged. Can't return it due to the new return policy

Doesn't really do anything for me
I honestly don't know why I didn't return this primer immediately. It doesn't really do anything for me. I can't tell a difference between when I'm wearing this primer and when I'm not wearing it. Plus, this product is $55!!! There are WAY better products that you can spend $55 on that will do more for you. I love Charlotte Tilbury products but this is a "No" for me.

Even more so, if you want your make up to last all day (I use primer, foundation, setting powder AND setting spray) DO NOT start with this as a base. I used it as a primer and by the evening my nose was blotchy.

I’ve used this product once. I used it with Charlotte’s Magic Cream and it created a beautiful, soft base for my makeup. I don’t have fine lines nor do I have huge pores, so I am not sure if it does help diminish those things. It also smells wonderful and there’s a lot of product considering how little you’d need to get the job done. I’d say it’s a tad overpriced but not extremely.

KatklareApr 12, 2020
I really really love the way this makes my skin look. Such a beautiful glow! It gives all make up a bit more of a "natural" look. BUT I get really really bad hard bumps on my face (particularly cheeks) whenever I use this. It isnt acne, not sure what they are but i am scared it will result in some nasty pimples. They go away after 2-3 days of no longer using the product. Such a shame considering it offers such a beautiful natural glow.
CallySMar 31, 2020
Worth it
I think this stuff makes me breakout slightly BUT I love the look so much, I’m willing to sacrifice a few pimples here and there & hopeful that my skin will get used to it. It is really expensive for the size of container.

Glitter everywhere
I got this as a free sample. I like many of charlotte’s products but this is not one of them. The fragrance in this is quite strong and lasts the whole day. The color of this was darker than my skin and it looked it. The wonder glow comes from glitter. Finely milled glitter but still glitter. It’s very obvious in certain lights too. Incredibly unattractive. It wasn’t even good as a primer. I do not recommend.

Too Oily
This primer is a little too oily for my skin. I do not really like the way that it feels or how it feels when applying it. I like other brands of primer better, so I would purchase them next time.
katylannicholeFeb 09, 2020
As Much As You Want To, Dont!
I’m giving this product two stars because it constantly broke my skin out, and caused major speedy with my foundation. It’s not a good enough barrier to be a primer, it is a tad oily. There are plenty of cheaper alternatives to this product that will work just as well if not better. I really wanted to love this product. And tried it out for a consecutive 28 days. My skin does tend to get oily when I wear make up and at the end of the day. But my other primers don’t make me break out.

Glowing natural look!
I love this product, I've been using it for years. I will say, I'm not one to wearing much makeup, so this is my base. Sometimes I'll add more of a foundation over it but usually I just wear this with some bronzer and blush, its amazing and makes your skin glow.

The Formula Does What It Claims To Do
I have tried many primers and this one is one of the best for the quality of the formula. It is not oily or sticky and is very, very light and fresh on your skin over moisturizer. I wear it under my foundation and the result is quite noticeable; it really enhances and adds a dewy natural finish to the complexion. I don't notice the effects too much when worn alone, so I would definitely wear it paired with a foundation product. The only downside is like most Charlotte Tilbury products,...
shejafJan 20, 2020
you should try this
I love this product as a primer before I put on my makeup. throughout the day, the glow becomes more prominent but it's not overkill - it's a nice look. light, not oily.
tiasadeVerifiedJan 19, 2020
Blah
This didnt really make much of a difference to my skin tbh. And the container is so small for the price I paid. I will not be purchasing again. Becca highlighters are much better.
ExpressjcDec 24, 2019
Not worth the type. LM radiant primer is better and not as expensive. I've yet to be Wowed by any CT products. Every product I've tried has been a fail and the amount of product you get is so tiny for the price. Bobbi Brown packaging is much nicer as a luxury cosmetic brand.
yruabrunoDec 15, 2019
I use this on its own on top of moisturizer, sans foundation. It makes my skin look very dewey and fresh. It’s my go to for a “no makeup” makeup look. I get lots of compliments on my complexion when I wear it as well. So far I don’t have too many qualms about the price because I’m happy with the product. It’s a little fragranced but it dissipates quickly.
beautyNooberVerifiedDec 10, 2019
Not a must have
This isn't a must-have. Really pricey, adds some glow to the base but I definitely will not be buying this again.
CTfanatic315Nov 25, 2019
I’ve applied this multiple ways, but find it best works mixed with my foundation. Used as such, it has a beautiful finish.
binksaysNov 07, 2019
new favorite primer hands down
the only thing I don't like is the scent but it doesn't linger so that doesnt bother me. it makes me glow and makes every foundation I own look absolutely fantastic. I cant speak to wear time increase but that's not really why I use primer.
TerribleTiniOct 17, 2019
keep on coming back
I tried not to love it because of the price but I keep going back to it. I don’t wear it as a primer most days. I moisturize in the day time with either the CT magic cream or La Mer and then I put this all over my face and neck so I don’t look so dead. I look healthier and not speckled with chunks of glitter.
rosehaltmarovaOct 10, 2019
Waste of Money
an insane waste of money. i was hoping for glowy skin when i purchased this primer, but what i got was far from that. this primer made my foundation look so textured and splotchy because of the glittery remnants within the primer that i was embarrassed to step out of the house. there was a complete accentuation of my pores and acne scarring, so i will be returning this as soon as possible. unless you have a perfect bare face with absolutely ZERO imperfections this primer is not for you....
misssassypantsSep 18, 2019
I use it for a primer and a glow by itself
As I age, I need less makeup, but what I use is becoming more important. My face should look glowy, without anything getting into fine lines. I discovered this through my best friend from California last year and I am in love. It's not inexpensive, but I use a small amount and often by itself with some concealer. The final look is beautiful and the product stays on. It infuses an almost candlelit glow that never looks artificial and is a go-to for a no makeup look.
I love this stuff.
jodiesgrlSep 13, 2019
Love!
I love this! I love all of my CT products. I use this as a primer, and have it in my own mix foundation, moisturizer, and a little concealer. I use Sephora’s clickable foundation brush, which I also love. I get compliments every time I wear it, alone or under my foundation. Btw, I’m 59 with dry, fair skin.
tinalizAug 28, 2019
Can't say enough good things about this product.
This is the best primer I've used by far. It's lightweight and it gives my skin just the right amount of glow either alone or under foundation. I initially received this as a sample and after using it twice I was hooked. Every time I use it I get compliments on my skin, so i was practically obligated to buy the full size tube. Plus, it lasts for months.
danid21Aug 27, 2019
holy acne bomb!
I never thought I had sensitive skin. I’ve always read reviews and heard some people have issues with skin products breaking them out. I’ve always been fortunate...until I used this product. This was the only thing to change in my routine and after using it only 2 times my face broke out worse that I can ever remember, even at the height of puberty I never had half this bad a breakout. I threw this away immediately and after day 4 I’m still trying to nurse my skin back. Worse part is it’s...

MY HOLY GRAIL PRIMER
OMG MY HOLY GRAIL PRIMER!!! I cannot say enough good things about this primer. I now have incredibly dry, dehydrated, sensitive, eczema prone skin thanks to an autoimmune disorder and I can’t use the same things that I used to. It’s been incredibly frustrating trying to learn/discover/find new products that are compatible with my new skin type. This is by far the best primer I’ve used! It’s very hydrating, doesn’t irritate my skin, makes me look younger, imparts an awesome glow without being...

This makes my skin look luminous, but not enough effect for the price.
Ilike31415May 29, 2019
Love This!
It's pricey, and I was a little afraid of the glitter, however, it is gorgeous when applied with a brush. When I'm feeling lazy, I just use this primer and no foundation. It makes my skin look more radiant, healthy, and well rested. It also is great for people who want a more dewy look - I love pairing this with my foundation because it keeps my foundation from looking caked on.
Julesy990May 23, 2019
Great quality primer but honestly I haven’t seen much of a difference between this and my Maybelline primer.

WONDERGLOW/ maybe i guess
WONDERGLOS FACE PRIMER - nice would I repurchase probably not.. but good to at least try. I don't see much of a WOW factor with this product.
JenRosMay 15, 2019
Subtle
Way too Subtle. The formula is nice, it blends well and mixes well with foundation if you want to use it that way but it’s hardly noticeable.
KrisTellMay 15, 2019
Love this face primer so much! It gives a subtle but noticeable glow from within. I’ve gotten so many compliments about my makeup and my glow. I know there are so many glow products out there and I own a lot of them, but this is my go to for everyday because of the soft pearlescent finish without looking shiny.
starsandbucksMay 06, 2019
Sexy and fresh
Been using this for a few months now and I've become really attached to this pretty primer! I used Burberry Fresh Glow for a time and really enjoyed it but Sephora no longer carries it; well, this is just as nice, if not nicer. A lightweight, radiant, balm for your face that you can use as primer or alone.
When I use as primer I pair it with a sheer foundation and the effect is blurred, dewy summer skin, So gorgeous. Worn alone it's glistening and kind of sexy but fresh. Like casual first...
JayJayyyApr 29, 2019
Ashy on deeper skin
I made the mistake of putting this all over my face one morning and I looked like a toned-down tin woman. This primer is champagne colored, which translates to white shine/ash when applied all over. Up close, you can see tiny gold glitter running throughout this product. As a subtle liquid highlighter on my cheekbones it might work, but not all-over my face. On fairer skin I can see this providing a subtle glow but you can find better without the glitter.
Kerinicole46Mar 30, 2019
Not for oily skin
This is a lovely product, but it does not suite my oily skin. It makes me look super greasy.

Pretty and glowy
I mix this with Tatcha Silk Canvas as a primer (Yes, I know this totally extra) - but it’s gorgeous. On REALLY GOOD skin days, I’ll wear Wonderglow solo. So glad Charlotte is finally at Sephora.
fifteenMar 05, 2019
great to mix with a matte foundation
i began using the covergirl trublend matte foundation but because i have dry skin it needed a little something extra. Used my wonderglow sample and bam! perfect combo. The wonderglow doesn't make the foundation sticky either which is something i was trying to get away from.
cpick23Mar 04, 2019
Been using this for probably 3 years. Looks great to wear alone without makeup but I also love mixing it in my with bb cream or foundation.
Gives skin an instant radiance and glow while having wondering skin anti aging properties. I will be this buying product for the rest of my life
brandi14307Feb 20, 2019
My skin loves it
I love this primer. I dont know if it should be as pricey as it is but it is amazing. It refreshes my skin and makes me glowy. Every foundation I put on over this looks amazing. I cant complain minus price. I will never be with out it though.

brings the glow back to dull winter skin
This stuff is seriously magic. I was skeptical at first, and to be honest, didn't like the way it looked on my bare skin. But under my nars tinted moisturizer? Wow. This brought light and life back to my dull, dead of winter complexion. I have tried countless highlighters in both cream and powder formulation to try to wake up my skin, but this time of year, nothing works. This works. I hate that it's so expensive, but truly, a tiny pea size is all you need. For me, it's well worth it.

New Holy Grail Product
I rarely write reviews... but I have been on a CT kick lately and THIS product is one of my favourite from her line. It is so flattering under makeup, over makeup, and even without makeup!! I have seen some reviews saying it does not work as a primer, and while I do not agree, I know that CT has said that this technically is not a primer and it is actually skincare. Overall, this product provides a wonderful glow to the skin. The way it bounces light off of the face is extremely flattering...

Yellows my foundation
Oxidizes my foundations towards a more yellow shade than they it would normally go :(
I have a very cool skin tone, so perhaps if you have a warmer undertone this wouldn't be as much of an issue for you.

This primer gives the most beautiful glow under foundation and makes my skin feel so soft. Also wearing it alone is soooo beautiful

Nice, but too light.
Very light in consistency but too light in color for me and I have very light skin.
panicfanJan 03, 2019
I wanted to love it, but...
I bought the CT magic cream, the wonderglow primer and the light wonder foundation - so I could use the products together. First time I used them together, they dried out my cheeks so badly, it aged me by 10-20 years. The second time, I used more magic cream - and still this trio dehydrated my skin and aged me. I am returning this and the light wonder foundation - they just aren't for me I guess.
MellaGirlDec 30, 2018
Not a primer
This product does not prime skin at all not does it provide a glow base for the skin. It is very glittery and when it dries it looks like literal foil. Also, this product leaves a gross metallic look in your fingers after application. This product has zero benefits.
Dpk40Dec 29, 2018
Glowing Skin
This primer will give your skin a very nice glow! I use this with the magic cream every morning to start off my day! When I’m in a hurry and can’t apple the wonderful glow foundation I mix this with my magic cream! My skin has a nice subtle glow but not oily!
lumieredelavieDec 23, 2018
Mix highlighter with primer and you get this shimmering overpriced primer. To add insult to injury, I can’t stand the smell of rose oil, and this product is made with it. So glad I got the sampler find out!!
Crest0904Dec 17, 2018
not impressed
Got this as a sample.. very shimmery which I don’t mind but I didn’t find it to be blurring or work well as a primer. I would use it more maybe mixed in with foundation or even on top of it as a highlighter if anything. I also felt it kind of drying.
chariz837Dec 17, 2018
love the glow
It's hard to try primer and it's not terribly obvious but I compared having this on and without (with cc cream), it makes my skin look more glowy and radiant which I love. Probably a tad expensive...

A really nice glowy (but not oily) primer-like product. It doesn’t help longevity of makeup, just adds a beautiful glow.

Almost filter-perfect
Loving this way more than I thought I might!! Got a sample with my last order and have been trying to find a primer that gives me a glow but also evens out skin tone, smoothes out fine lines/pores, hydrates, and also somewhat mattiffies my complexion. I know this is LOT to ask for from one item, but this product somehow seems to meet all those requirements. It doesn't really have any pore-filling properties, but as it takes care of all the other stuff, I don't even care! I have been using...

Gorgeous Glow, Overly Fragranced
The best part about this is the glow - it is a true shimmer, would be gorgeous for summertime and/or nights out.. In addition, you only need VERY LITTLE of this product to cover the face; if you use too much you'll know because it'll pill. However, my love for the product ends there. It does help my makeup stay on a bit longer, but its staying power is nothing impressive. In addition, this is basically a tube full of fragrance - if your skin can tolerate that I guess you don't have anything...

Creates Glowing flawless peaches and cream skin.
Wonderglow creates the perfect glow for pale skin. My look is English Rose and I have peaches and cream skin that is sensitive to most primers. It has a subtle ultra fine micro sheen which is golden like the morning light. It is free from being harsh, white, grey, orange or dark. Do not be afraid of the sheen in the formula because it looks like supple skin. It is very hydrating and blurs fine lines, and pores. I have freckles and it makes my face look polished. This is the only Face Primer...
rae2Nov 30, 2018
Worth it!
Over the years I have sampled many primers, and this is the first one I've ever ordered a full size of. It truly gives you a glow, and for a sleep deprived Mama like myself, I will take all the help I can get! In pictures, my face looks polished and dewy - not sparkly. I really like this product!
natalia87Nov 28, 2018
nice, but not worth the hype
this is my first CT product. I’ve only used it twice thus far (once alone and once under makeup) and it definitely works better as a primer because the mica particles are not super fine, so it’s noticeable on your skin if you wear it alone. it’s also extremely expensive so i’ll be using it sparingly. I do like it, but it’s not as “wonder”ful as I would have expected from CT. it reminds me of a basic radiant moisturizer/base. however there is 40ml of product instead of your typical 30 which...
shabssNov 21, 2018
Not worth it!
Let me start by saying how much I am loving some of my other CT products. I had really high hope for this primer. I honestly don't think this primer is worth the money. It did nothing to my skin other than add golden particles on my face. You can achieve a more dewy look by mixing the CT hollywood filter with your foundation. It didn't give me smooth finish and I could see my foundation in my pores. Just looked horrible. Mainly, it didn't give me any 'wonderglow' finish as it claims.
CrfgystalNov 11, 2018
Love using this as a primer or mixed in with my foundation or even concealer for that extra moisture. There are little specks of shimmer in it though so when used alone, your face will sparkle but when mixed it, if gives you a natural glow.
cettsNov 09, 2018
Great Primer
Love this primer. It leaves your skin with nice dewy glow.
bella7donnaNov 08, 2018
JUST RIGHT
This faced primer is JUST RIGHT. Not too coppery/goldy but subtle and leaves a nice dewey finish.
Maddie4444Nov 07, 2018
gorgeous, dewy glow!
This has become my favorite primer because I’m a huge fan of the dewy finish it provides, while keeping my makeup intact all day long. It provides some blurring benefits, as well as a douse of hydration. It’s the perfect primer for winter and/or dry skin, or if you just like a dewy, rather than matte, finish. This makes my skin look so healthy and glowing. I always get compliments while wearing it.
If you have oily skin or don’t like a luminous finish, I would avoid this, otherwise, I...
Clover545Nov 07, 2018
I was very excited to try this, but unfortunately was disappointed. I wasn't sure if it gave me a glow or just looked shiny. I didn't really see "glitter", it has extremely small light-reflecting particles. I don't think this product is for me so I an sadly returning it.
WarPaint13Nov 03, 2018
I’m in love with this.
I absolutely love this product. Very moisturizing, which I need in the cooler months. In the warmer seasons I use the Hollywood filter (also awesome). I switched from my long time fav primer Laura Mercier Hyrdating primer, to this one and I thing it’s better at hydrating and I love the glow. I am very fair and have no problems with the glow it gives you, unlike some of the other reviews. Also, I should mention a little goes a long way with this product.
sophies501Nov 03, 2018
Must try!!
Amazing primer!! One of the best primers I’ve ever used!!
Chloe0522Nov 02, 2018
I love this product! I have been using it for almost a year and still have half of the product left- a little goes a long way! I am 28 and in my opinion the shimmer/glow amount is perfect. I wear it under the Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder foundation.

Glittery highlighter
OK as a warm, shimmery highlighter but it does not work for me as a primer. It's thin and sheer, does not blur imperfections or fill fine lines, and wears off quickly. It settles into lines and scars and does not give a smooth surface for makeup. Makeup applied on top doesn't spread evenly or last. High glitter factor isn't what I want in a primer either. As a highlighter, it's not my favorite formulation (glitter particles too big and consistency too thin). Doesn't seem to be great quality...

WOW - just wow!!
I am 61, fair skinned, and have always had beautiful skin. I never wore or needed foundation, just a little powder, blush and under eye concealer (for those Eastern European dark circles) and off I'd go. Getting older has proven to be a bit more involved in both skin care and makeup! [I can no longer pop on my makeup in the car for one thing! And powders may no longer be a good idea :-( ] But THIS PRODUCT runs circles around other primers or anything else you might put on your face after...

Another Charlotte Win
I noticed some people complained about the size. For me when I first opened it I felt it was small but like all of Charlotte’s products... A little goes a LONG way. I’ve used this for about 3 weeks now (daily) and it still looks like a full bottle.
The shimmer some are complaining about but to me its not bad. It gives that ‘glow’ that makes your skin look alive. Its not overpowering in anyway.
PMUAOct 02, 2018
Nice.
This is a really nice product for giving you that dewy glow, especially when paired with the Magic Cream. I loved how hydrated and plush my skin looked with and without makeup. Rev up the glow even further by topping off that combo with the Flawless Filter and the radiance is out of this world. Only downside, I was expecting more from this primer in terms of extending the longevity of my makeup. I didn't find that it did the best job.
aginginevitablySep 29, 2018
Not for the fair.
It reads orange on my fair skin.

Doesn't Do Anything
I was excited to try this and unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. It felt nice while applying it but I saw no difference in the appearance of my skin afterwards. What I did see, however, was a whole lot of shiny glitter left on my fingers from applying it. Not great.
navosSep 28, 2018
pretty but beware
I received a deluxe sample of this I loved the look of it reminded me of the Laura mercier radiant primer. Worked amazing when wearing as a primer or mixed in with my foundation for a more dewy radiant look buuuuut after a few days of using my skin broke out all over and I’m not one prone to breakouts. Unfortunately not for me.
jeemmmmySep 28, 2018
I really wanted to like this but it unfortunately did nothing for me. I got it along with the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation (its amazing) but this primer was not that great. I hated how much glitter it left all over my hands or brush after using it. It did not really help my makeup stay on longer nor did it give much of a glow.
cpal101Sep 26, 2018
Ive used a deluxe sample of this primer for the last week and have loved the subtle, even glow that I’ve achieved when mixing it with my foundation (I’m using the matte foundation from givenchy). It’s subtle, but the primer has helped my foundation go on more smoothly, and makes my skin look fresh, clear, and glowy. Very pleased with this product!
GigiTheOBSep 23, 2018
I so wanted to love this. I received it in the mail and was surprised at the size of the bottle: it is very small for the price. I was looking for something that gave me a natural looking glow (NOT sparkles) and it did just that. Except that it is extremely subtle. My skin tone is light medium, maybe it works better on paler complexions? Maybe if you have very dull skin it shows a little more? I doubt this is meant to be used as anything other than a type of highlighter because it has zero...
viccxoSep 22, 2018
Best primer I have ever used I stand glow and foundation blends amazing with this on. If you want a full long wear glow and your makeup to stay put this is the product you need.
VakeUpSep 21, 2018
I absolutely love this product. I used to use Becca skin perfector in opal as my natural glow but it started to be too much and after a while it smelled really awful. Thought I’d try this instead..... wore out and my skin never looked better. It just had a natural but subtle glow. My foundation applied effortlessly on top. It’s a bit pricey, but I think it’s great and worth the money.
brepeachesSep 20, 2018
obsessed
Honestly obsessed with this holy grail product! It makes me so glowy and radiant, and I love the smooth texture of it. I feel like I need less foundation when I use this first! I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to live without it!
cstew094Sep 20, 2018
This has visible glitter and is not at all subtle. It was completely worn away after 2 hours. Very expensive for quite a small amount. Did nothing for me, disappointing.
CaraVPSep 16, 2018
beware of scent!
I love CT and was excited to try this product. I swear by the flawless filter and unisex healthy glow - but this left something to be desired. It might just be the scent that turned me off immediately and will prevent me from even exploring it further which is unfortunate. Flawless Filter is where it’s at!
safaliy0Sep 16, 2018
This may be good for people with very dry or dull skin but on my combo skin my first reaction was to blot the oily look away from my face! Not for me...
