Dupes
We tested 12 dupes for Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter — and found 3 worth your money.
After 6 weeks of side-by-side wear tests, our team sorted the contenders into three buckets: actually identical, close but compromised, and please don't. Here's the maths.
How we tested
We bought all 12 dupes ourselves — no gifted products, no brand relationships. Every product was worn for a full day on the same skin type under the same lighting conditions. Scores are out of 10 across four dimensions: finish match, longevity, blendability, and shade range.
"If you need to look closely to tell the difference, it's a dupe. If you need different lighting, it's a disappointment."
The ones worth your money
1. e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter — €14.99
The closest match we tested. Under natural light, indistinguishable from the original. Under flash? There's a tiny warmth difference. For 89% less money, that's acceptable.
2. Catrice True Skin Serum Foundation — €7.95
Not a 1:1 — this sits slightly more matte. But if you prefer less glow, this is actually better.
3. Makeup Revolution Skin Silk Serum Foundation — €9.50
Great for oily skin types. The finish oxidises slightly but not enough to matter.
The ones to skip
The remaining 9 ranged from "looks similar in the bottle, very different on skin" to one that turned grey after 4 hours.
