The Gorgeous Glow Filter Finish is available in four shades “Fair”, “Fair Medium”, “Medium” and “Tan”, with each self-adjusting shade specifically formulated to cover multiple skin tones. I chose the lightest option, as I have very fair skin, though it must be said that there’s definitely scope for work to be done to offer customers a wider shade range. With added Diamond Core Powder Technology, it improves skin texture by optically smoothing and blurring the appearance of fine lines and imperfections. An illuminating soft-focus pigment blended into the formula converts and scatters light, emulating the effect of a healthy, youthful complexion.
