Details & care

What it is: An air-light foundation that illuminates, smoothes, hydrates, minimizes pores and reduces wrinkles for perfect skin.

Who it's for: Ideal for those with dry, normal and combination skin types.

What it does: A pool of youth-boosting actives help give you a gorgeous baby-skin effect, smoothing and evening out tone. Its formula lasts for up to 18 hours while stimulating epidermal renewal by kick-starting collagen production, delaying the onset of wrinkles and creating the perfect makeup base. It also includes SPF 15 to help protect your skin from damage.

How to use: Light Wonder has multiple uses, making it perfect for the woman on the go. Begin by shaking well, then squeeze a small amount onto the back of your hand. Using a foundation brush or your fingertips, blend it into your skin from the middle outward, creating a daytime, tinted-moisturizer look. The SPF 15 will protect your skin from photo-aging. For evening, carry out the same application but pat onto areas where you need extra coverage. In the summer, you can extend the multiple uses of your foundation to your body to even out imperfections. Get dressed then apply Light Wonder to the areas that will be exposed such as your arms, legs and décolletage.

Beautiful finish and color!

I love Light Wonder's texture. It's dense enough to give you even coverage, but light enough so that your freckles show through. I was using #1 for my winter skin. The color was beautiful, not pink or yellow. I since have switched to #3 (for my slight tan in the summer) which is a light tan color, again not yellow or pink. I had a sample of #2, and it was a pinker version of #1. I hope this information is helpful..

Disappointing Line

Unless you have perfect skin to begin with, this foundation is not going to do what it claims. It is very sheer coverage so does not cover imperfections even with trying to build the coverage. It does not illuminate at all; you are better off purchasing an additional product for that specific purpose. Not many color choices which really limits your chances of getting a match. With so many foundations on the market, look for another brand that will deliver what it claims.

Glowy gorgeousness

I received samples via the 'Tilbury Try On' promotion that was recently offered and I've just purchased the full size from Nordstrom. I am in my mid 40's and due to my misspent youth and excessive sunbathing, I don't have fine lines; I have actual wrinkles. This is the best foundation I have ever tried in terms of giving my skin some much-needed life and, while there is no foundation that isn't going to get into my deep lines, it is by far the one that gets into my lines the least amount. Awkward sentence, but I think you can see what I mean. I feel silly writing this, but I can't stop checking my skin out in the mirror--it just looks SO much better with this foundation--it adds a luminous quality that really does look [to my eye] natural, and it doesn't look thick or cakey at all--it's like looking at my own skin but through an instagram filter so that I recognize it but it just looks loads better. I do think this would be better for ladies with dry skin--my skin is quite dry and I applied the foundation with a dollop of the wonderglow product, so that probably adds something nice to the mix as well. I do hope that you enjoy it as much as I do, if you try it.

very nice and light

I really like this foundation and own 3 shades now. I Like it especially for day and in the summer it is perfect. It is very light weight ,somewhere between a tinted moisturizer and a light-med foundation. For comparison, it is more coverage than Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer but, less than YSL touch eclat. It is moisturizing.I don't own anything heavier as I prefer a lighter coverage . I am 38,almost 39 and I think heavy makeup on older skin just emphasizes all those things we don't want to draw attention to. I have combo -dry skin, more dry now that it is winter. I find it works great for me year round. it is illuminating. and feels moisturizing on. So if ,matte and heavy coverage is what you are looking for, this is not for you. It wears all day for me.I have never worn it without a primer for an all day wear. So,I cannot to speak to its longevity without a primer. I have tried a lot of the products from Charlotte Tilbury's line. Some products are just ok and IMO not worth the price tag. This one is very fairly priced for how nice it is. I will repurchase this.

Amazing foundation

In my 40+ years of attempting to find a foundation, any foundation that enhances my skin and not mask it, while still providing even, medium coverage ... Well, look no further. I have to say that I am truly shocked at how good this foundation is. I have received immediate comments on how good my skin looks (along with the typical "What did you have done?" types of questions). It is a light to medium coverage and is buildable. I am wearing Fair #4. I have light to medium skin with a slight olive undertone. There is a slight dewiness to this foundation and it goes on effortlessly. It doesn't settle into fine lines and wrinkles and doesn't amplify my pores. For me, this is nothing short of a miracle. I have found my HG. My search is over and now I can get on with my life.

I have stopped seeking foundation

Because I found one that I love. I am really shocked that I was able to get such a perfect color match with online shopping. I have wanted to try this foundation since it has been offered by Nordstrom, but have hesitated due to not being able to see it in person. I noticed there was a chat help option and decided to try it. I gave the person a brand and color of foundation that works for me colorwise and she was able to recommend the one I purchased, plus she added information on the concealer that was a match for me, I purchased that too. They both match my skin tone perfectly and I love the coverage. I have really been impressed with all the products in this range I have tried. I look forward to having more counters available- please for San Diego or Mall of America!

Overrated

I ordered shade #4, which was a great match for my light-medium, neutral-cool skin. It leaves a natural, sort of dewy finish. The problem I had was with the coverage. This claims to be buildable to a medium finish and it definitely does not. It's buildable to a light finish at best. The marketing team at Charlotte Tilbury must be A++. The description of this foundation makes it sound like it is truly a miracle, but I would have to disagree with the claims. It reminds me of Chanel's Vitalumiere Aqua, but not near as good. To this day, the best foundation I have tried (and there have been many) is GA Luminous Silk.
