How to Use Our Holy Grail Halo Glow Collection for Glowing Skin

By Emma Izquierdo

Another name for the Halo Glow Collection? The Holy Grail Collection. Our iconic collection of glowy, easy-to-use makeup products that have gone viral on TikTok are longtime fan-favorites. They pair well together to create the glowiest of looks from ultra-glam to your everyday no makeup-makeup looks. All of the makeup products in our Halo Glow Collection have been thoughtfully formulated to create a full-face look that also helps to improve the appearance of skin thanks to all of their skin-loving ingredients.

If you’ve loved any product from the collection, you’ll probably love all of them because each has been formulated to work seamlessly with one another, which is why you can grab them all in Glow All Out bundle. This must-have set is an entire bundle of products in the Halo Glow family. Now, we’re introducing another angelic member to the Halo Glow Collection: Halo Glow Powder Filter. Our new pressed powder mimics the glow of the Halo Glow Liquid Filter, but comes in pressed form for light, buildable coverage with a soft-focus finish. More on that and the rest of our must-haves from the Halo Glow fam below!

Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50

Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50 is the multitasking miracle we can't stop raving about. This hydrating, serum-like skin tint delivers light, buildable coverage with a natural dewy finish that gives skin that coveted 'lit from within' glow.

What makes it truly exceptional is the mineral SPF 50 protection that leaves no white cast—a rare find in the beauty world. Infused with skin-loving ingredients like niacinamide to help visibly brighten and bisabolol to help soothe your skin, this skin tint doesn't just make you look good, it works to help improve the appearance of your skin while you wear it. Available in 18 flexible shades, it feels weightless and barely-there.

Whether you're running errands or heading to a special event, this do-it-all skin tint with SPF simplifies your makeup routine by combining skincare, sun protection, and makeup all in one. We love that it's worth every e.l.f.ing cent and delivers that naturally glowing complexion we all dream about—truly the skin tint we've been dropping hints for, and e.l.f. delivered perfectly.

How to Use a Skin Tint:

  • We recommend shaking the bottle well before each use to ensure the formula is properly mixed. Using the Halo Glow Angled Sponge, apply the skin tint and begin to blend. Start with a small amount and build up to your preferred coverage level.

Halo Glow Powder Filter

Ready to get an IG-filtered look in real life? Then our newest launch, Halo Glow Powder Filter is for you. Despite its weightless, highly blendable, pressed powder format, we like to call this a “filter finish” because of how much coverage it offers.

This pressed powder provides a finish similar to a liquid foundation without the heavy feel. Seamless and easy to use, it comes in 12 different shades and helps to blur the appearance of skin without settling into fine lines or wrinkles.

We love the soft-focus glow it delivers and the fact that it hydrates while covering thanks to moisture-locking hyaluronic acid and squalane. Our ultra-fine formula comes with a powder puff for easy application, and helps to set makeup while offering a lightweight (yet lasting!) layer of coverage.

How to Use Pressed Powder:

  • Gently press the pressed powder onto the areas of your skin where you would like more coverage. We recommend adding this powder to your T-zone if you have oily skin.

  • Pair with our Halo Glow Liquid Filter for ultimate glowing skin.

Halo Glow Liquid Filter

Crowned an Allure Best of Beauty Winner in 2023, Halo Glow Liquid Filter has gone viral on TikTok for delivering a perfect glowy base that blends seamlessly into skin for a fresh-faced, even-toned glow. This makeup and skincare hybrid is composed of hydrating ingredients that deliver a dewy glow, and gives your complexion a hydrated and healthy-looking radiance.

Now in 12 blendable shades, you can build Halo Glow Liquid Filter’s coverage up for more soft-focus radiance, or simply use it as a lightweight highlighter.

How to Use Our Complexion Booster:

  • Our Liquid Filter can be worn four versatile ways: alone, over or under makeup, mixed with foundation, or as a highlighter applied onto the high points such as cheeks, bridge of nose, and on your forehead for a lit-from-within glow.

Halo Glow Blush Beauty Wand

Another obsession-worthy product in the Halo Glow Collection: The Halo Glow Blush Beauty Wand. This glowy liquid blush comes with a soft, cushion-tip applicator that imparts a perfect pop of natural color to cheeks. Six different blendable shades round out the collection, and each one melts immediately into skin to give a just-pinched flush.

This lightweight liquid formula is infused with hydrating squalane and effortlessly blends into skin to add instant luminosity and color to your complexion. The best part about our Blush Beauty Wand? It’s affordable, making it the perfect blush to add to your makeup bag that won’t break your budget. Mix our shades together, build them up for a more robust hue, or go for a lightweight swipe to nail that “just-outside” flush of natural, healthy color.

How to Use Our Blush Wands:

  • Apply the blush wand directly to the apples of your cheeks, using gentle tapping motions for a natural flush.

  • Blend the color outward and upward along your cheekbones using the wand's tip or your fingertips for a seamless, radiant finish.

Halo Glow Contour Beauty Wand

Our Halo Glow Contour Beauty Wand is a go-to for defining and sculpting your makeup look. This liquid contour wand features the same cushion-tip applicator as our blush wand, that delivers pin-pointed precision wherever you want to apply.

Basically a magic wand, Halo Glow Contour helps you nail a more defined shape—even if you’re a newbie to contouring. The lightweight, liquid formula adds natural-looking definition and a glint of radiance.

How to Use Our Contour Wand:

  • Apply and blend into the hollows of your cheeks, jawline, temples, hairline, and sides of your nose for a soft but sculpted, easy contoured look that can be worn every day.

Halo Glow Highlight Wand

Bringing it all together is our Halo Glow Highlight Wand. It’s the third must-have in the Halo Glow Wand trifecta, and a favorite for achieving luminous, glowy skin. This liquid highlighting wand has the perfect applicator to help effortlessly glide your highlighter onto the high points of your face.

Available in three radiant shades—Champagne Campaign, Rose Quartz, and Liquid Gold— to ensure that you can find the perfect color to provide that lit-from-within glow we’re all going for.

How to Use Our Highlight Wand:

  • Keep it simple with a quick swipe onto cheekbones, brow bones, bridge of nose and your Cupid’s Bow, or blend colors to create a more dynamic, warmed up look all over your skin.

Halo Glow Setting Powder

If you’re not looking for a high-coverage powder, but you want more of a weightless powder that locks your makeup in place, our Halo Glow Loose Setting Powder belongs in your makeup bag. Think of it like a flawless, airbrushed makeup look in a jar. It lightly veils the skin in a luminous glow, diminishes shine, and delivers a dreamy, soft-focus finish that sets your look, whether it’s your everyday makeup or a major-glam night.

Its silky texture visibly smooths and filters skin, while blurring the appearance of pores, fine lines and wrinkles without settling or caking into creases. Perfect to apply before a night out, or pop it in your purse for a quick touch-up throughout the evening.

How to Apply Loose Setting Powder:

  • Dip your powder face brush into the loose setting powder, tapping off excess to avoid over-application.

  • Gently press and roll the brush over your face, focusing on areas prone to shine like the T-zone, to set your makeup and create a smooth, matte finish.

Halo Glow Powder Puff & Halo Glow Pinkie Puffs

Just about as cute and effective as a makeup puff can be, these soft, reusable, and machine-washable powder puffs pair perfectly with both our Halo Glow Powder Filter and Halo Glow Setting Powder. The Halo Glow Pinkie Puffs come in three mini-sized, velour, tear-dropped shaped puffs that fit on your finger to allow for precise application of loose and pressed powders. The teardrop shape is especially ideal for application around the eyes and nose, as well as for targeting small blemishes.

Our larger size, the Halo Glow Powder Puff, is your go-to for expertly applying both our pressed and loose powders all over your complexion. Our velour material easily conforms to the face and is ultra-soft, which helps the product to distribute evenly and blend better into skin. Perfect for nailing that airbrushed look, and depositing powder right where you want it.

How to Use Our Powder Puffs:

  • Pick up a small amount of loose or pressed powder with the puff.

  • Gently press the powder puff onto your skin, focusing on areas that need setting or oil control, such as the T-zone and under-eye area.
