"The best dupe I've tested. The applicator, finish, and glow are so close it's almost suspicious. At $9 this is a no-brainer."
Shop dupeMy verdict
e.l.f.'s Halo Glow Beauty Wand is the closest dupe to Charlotte Tilbury's Beauty Light Wand on the market — and at $9 vs $42, it's arguably the most impressive value match in the entire highlighter category. Both feature a cushion-tip applicator that deposits a buildable, luminous glow. The finish is remarkably similar: a soft, blurred radiance that looks like naturally glowing skin rather than obvious shimmer. e.l.f.'s shimmer particles are very slightly larger under magnification, but on the face the difference is negligible. The only real advantage of the CT original is longevity — it holds about 2 hours longer — and the packaging, which feels more luxurious. For everyday use, save your $33.
