The 6 Best Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter Dupes!
Yeah, this stuff is pretty amazing.
The only downside to Charlotte Tilbury's magical skin tint formula is that it's pretty pricy if you can get your hands on a shade that's still in stock.
If you want the same coverage and glow without the jarring price tag - check out some of these Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter dupes below!
What is it?
Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter is a glowy complexion enhancer or a skin tint. It's used as a killer base layer that smoothes your skin's complexion, blends away fine lines, minimizes pores, and evens your skin tone.
Some users opt to wear it alone, while others layer it with a good foundation.
Why is it so popular?
When Charlotte Tilbury's Flawless Filter hit the scene in 2018, the makeup world was buzzing, and for a good reason. Its unique formula is lightweight and covers effortlessly, and delivers exactly what it claims to achieve.
It's a perfect high end tint for those that don't often use foundation because it's lightweight, moisturizing, and gives your skin a soft glow, but it works well as a base layer to use under your foundation.
It uses unique ingredients such as smoothing airbrush polymers, pearlescent porcelain flower extract, light-reflecting oils, and finely milled powder that won't feel cakey on your skin.
Budget-Friendly Drugstore Dupes
Getting your hands on a bottle of this complexion enhancer can be tricky for two reasons.
First of all, it's often sold out. And if they do have it in stock, they may not have your shade (I often run into this problem!). If you manage to find your shade in stock, the price tag it retails at might be a little more than you're willing to spend.
The good news is that we’ve found some of the best dupes that won’t break the bank, and you can find them at your local drugstore!

2. Physicians Formula Spotlight Illuminating Primer
If your ultimate goal is to smooth out a blotchy complexion and achieve a youthful glow, this option is worth checking out.
Read moreIt provides similar coverage as Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter and helps to blur lines while offering a youthful glow. It's a little more glittery than Flawless Filler, which you may come to love or hate.
Overall, it works well as a primer, but many find it too dewy to wear alone.

If the skincare benefits of Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter appeal to you, this option from Neutrogena is a great choice.
Read moreIt's super affordable and provides a healthy glow that is incredibly lightweight.
The addition of peptides nourishes your dry skin while evening out your complexion. The only downside to this option is that it is only offered in one color.
The tint is very mild, but the coverage provided in this bottle will vary from person to person.
4. Revlon Skinlights Face Glow Illuminator
There's something about freshly bronzed skin that looks youthful and glowing. I can't condone sitting out in the sun for that sun-kissed glow, but a good bronzer is the next best thing!
Read moreRevlon Skinlights Face Glow Illuminator will provide that same bronze glow of a beach vacation without all that sun damage.
This formula boasts Refined pearl pigments (similar to Flawless Filter) for even application, and the lightweight formula moisturizes without feeling greasy or cakey.
5. Morphe Luminous Complexion Primer
Morphe Luminous Complexion Primer is the next best thing for that Instagram filter effect.
Read moreWhile it doesn't provide any complexion correction (it's only available in a pinkish shade), it will help blur your complexion and give it a natural, healthy glow. Use this primer under your foundation for a dewy, glowing look for the best results.
It absorbs quickly into your skin that hydrates while boosting your foundation's coverage.
6. Honest Beauty Everything Primer
This option from Honest Beauty doesn't offer any coverage, but the nourishing formula helps to energize skin and give a soft glow, much like Flawless Filter.
Read moreIt's packed with two types of hyaluronic acid and fruit extracts to make your skin will feel fresh and moisturized all day. Due to its lacking of complexion correction, I wouldn't recommend wearing this option on its own (unless you are blessed with perfect skin!).
However, this option is excellent if you want dewy, radiant, and moisturized skin that pairs well with a good foundation!
