Alverde Perfect Glow Fluid

For some reason, I thought this would be a dupe for the Catrice filter fluid. I like Alverde as I feel they use more natural products. This is based on their marketing, but still. There is some of that, but not quite. Let’s get into it.

What does Alverde say about their products?
The Perfect Glow Fluid highlighter in shade 02 Warm Amber from alverde NATURKOSMETIK impresses with its versatile 3-in-1 functionality. This subtly tinted fluid contains 0.2% squalane and moonstone powder, which give the skin a gentle glow. The light coverage ensures a natural finish and acts like a soft-focus filter to create an even complexion. Ideal as a glowing base under foundation, as a spot highlighter or as a lightly tinted glow serum, it offers numerous ways to use it for a fresh and radiant look. Read more here.

My thoughts
The product comes with a doe foot applicator. I bought this foundation in the colour 02 warm amber. As I said, I thought I could use it as a foundation, but I do feel it’s a bit too shiny (as in glitter) for that. It’s lovely, but I do think it works better as a highlighter. I think it would be lovely as a body glow in summer, and I am saving the product for that.

Another reason for this is, is that I don’t really love the scent of the product. I cannot put my finger on it. It does not smell of or anything, but I don’t think it’s nice, therefore it would work better to use a bit further away from my nose, to be honest. Overall, it’s a nice product but a bit different from what I thought it would be. But that too is all right.

They sell this foundation in 2 colours:
01 Golden Pearl
02 Warm Amber
