Huda Beauty GloWish Review: Glow Goals or Just Another Trend?

Alright, let’s talk about glow. You know that fresh, “I just drank three liters of water and slept 9 hours” kinda glow? Yeah, that’s what the Huda Beauty GloWish Multidew Skin Tint promises — and you bet I had to test it out.

With summer heat in full swing, my heavy foundations were starting to feel like a bad idea, so I switched to something lighter and more skin-friendly. Cue: the GloWish collection.

What Even Is GloWish?

Huda Beauty launched GloWish as a kind of love child between Huda Beauty makeup and Wishful skincare — basically, makeup that’s also good for your skin. Think clean formulas, natural finishes, and that effortless “your skin but better” look.

Gone are the days of full-coverage cake face. We’re all about breathable, radiant, and clean beauty now — and that’s exactly the vibe GloWish is going for.

So, What’s a Skin Tint Anyway?

If you’re new to skin tints, imagine your favorite moisturizer and your lightest foundation had a baby. That’s it.

It gives you just enough coverage to even out your complexion, while still letting your real skin shine through. Unlike foundations, skin tints are way lighter on pigment, so your pores can breathe. They’re also not quite the same as BB or CC creams — skin tints are more “I woke up like this,” less “I’m wearing makeup.”

The GloWish Line-Up

When the GloWish line first dropped, it started with just four products (and more are definitely coming):

1. GloWish Multidew Skin Tint
   
2. GloWish Soft Radiance Bronzing Powder
   
3. GloWish Airbrush Finish Complexion Brush
   
4. GloWish All Over Bronze Brush
   

Simple, minimal, and straight to the point — everything you need for a fresh, glowy look.

First Impressions & Packaging

Let’s be real — I didn’t expect to be impressed by the packaging. On Instagram, it looked a bit plain. But in person? It’s actually sleek and high-quality. The tube has a soft pearly finish and a pump applicator (thank you, Huda, for saving us from messy fingers).

It’s also eco-friendly — made from 25% post-consumer recycled materials, and the carton packaging is 100% recyclable FSC paper. Minimal design, sustainable, and practical. Big win.

You get 40ml of product, which is pretty generous since one pump covers the whole face. And fun fact: it’s made in Italy 🇮🇹

The Formula

Okay, here’s where it gets interesting. The GloWish Multidew Skin Tint is packed with skincare-grade ingredients like:

• Damascus Rose Oil – for moisture and calm skin
  
• Red Pepper Extract – to protect from pollution and blue light
  
• Plant-Derived Squalene – for that plump, smooth, youthful glow
  

It’s also clean, vegan, cruelty-free, and fragrance-free (hallelujah for sensitive skin).

No parabens, no sulfates, no silicones, no alcohols — basically none of the scary stuff. Just glow in a tube.

Shade Range

The Skin Tint comes in 13 shades, which is actually solid considering it’s sheer coverage. Each shade flexes across multiple skin tones.

I went for Fair Light — though the Huda website told me I should get Light (I’m usually “Toasted Coconut” in Faux Filter). Honestly, Fair Light turned out slightly dark for me, so maybe go a shade lighter than your usual.

Texture & Coverage

At first, I thought it looked thick, but once applied, it’s super airy and hydrating. It melts into the skin like butter — seriously, you barely feel it.

Coverage-wise, it’s light. Think soft blur, not mask. Perfect for summer, “no-makeup makeup,” or anyone who hates that heavy foundation feel.

If you’re oily, you might need a touch of powder in your T-zone. But the finish? Chef’s kiss. Dewy, luminous, healthy skin.

Application Tips

Here’s what worked best for me after a few tries:

• For a subtle glow: Dab it on your cheekbones, nose, and chin like a liquid highlighter. You’ll get that glass-skin vibe instantly.
  
• For a natural finish: One and a half pumps all over the face, blend with your fingers or a sponge.
  
• For more coverage: Mix it with your favorite matte foundation — it adds glow without killing your base.
  

If you have oily skin, you can mix a drop of this with foundation and then press in some setting powder. Boom. Balanced glow.

Best Way to Apply

You can apply it with your hands, beauty blender, or brush (the GloWish Airbrush Finish Brush is designed for this and it’s so soft).

Most people say fingers work best for tints, but I personally love a damp Beauty Blender — gives the smoothest, most natural finish.

Primer or No Primer?

Use one. Even though the tint is hydrating, a primer helps it last longer — especially if you’re oily or planning to be out all day.

If you’re using Huda’s Water Jelly Hydrating Primer, they actually pair beautifully together.

My Experience

So, I’ve got combination skin — sensitive, oily T-zone, and dry patches. And honestly? I loved it.

It gave me that “healthy glow” without making me look greasy. My skin looked more even, hydrated, and alive. Plus, it was so fast to apply — like a 2-minute face routine.

Here’s the deal though: it looked amazing for the first 6 hours. After that, it started breaking down a bit — especially around my smile lines and where my sunglasses touched my face. It’s not transfer-proof or mask-proof, but most dewy products aren’t.

Still, it didn’t cling to dry spots or turn oily — which is a rare combo win.

Longevity

It stays flawless for about 5–6 hours, then starts creasing and fading slightly. After 12 hours, it definitely broke apart a bit — nothing tragic, but not perfect either.

Not waterproof, but surprisingly humidity-proof. It survived a hot day and a quick shower steam test.

Skin Finish

This is your go-to if you want:

• A natural glow
  
• Light coverage
  
• Breathable, skincare-infused makeup
  
• “No-makeup makeup” realness
  

Basically, if you hate full coverage but still want to look polished — this is for you.

Skin Type Breakdown

• Dry Skin: You’ll love this. It’s hydrating and luminous.
  
• Oily Skin: Might be too glowy unless you powder it down.
  
• Combination Skin: Works great (I can confirm).
  
• Acne-Prone Skin: Totally fine — it’s non-comedogenic and evens out redness.
  
• Mature Skin: Beautiful! Doesn’t settle into lines, adds radiance, and feels light.
  

Comparing to Huda’s Faux Filter

If you’ve used the Faux Filter Stick, you’ll notice major differences. Faux Filter is thicker and more matte, while GloWish is light, glowy, and airy.

Both blend beautifully, but GloWish gives that youthful dew, whereas Faux Filter is your “I need to look flawless for 12 hours” foundation.

Price & Where to Buy

The GloWish Multidew Skin Tint retails for £32 — but if you’re smart, check Boots, they often have discounts. I snagged mine for £25.60.

You can also grab it from Sephora, Cult Beauty, Feelunique, Harrods, Selfridges, ASOS, Net-a-Porter, and of course, hudabeauty.com.

The GloWish Soft Radiance Bronzing Powder

Let’s move on to the bronzer because — wow. The Soft Radiance Bronzing Powder is buttery smooth, super pigmented, and has that gorgeous marble swirl with golden tones running through it.

It’s also fragrance-free and full of skincare goodies like:

• Squalene
  
• Vitamin E
  
• Shea Butter
  
• Red Bell Pepper Extract
  
• Damascus Rose Oil
  

Basically, your bronzer is doing skincare while you contour.

The payoff is strong, so go easy with your brush. One swipe gives that bronzed goddess vibe. It’s warm, radiant, and adds a natural sun-kissed glow.

Comes in 5 shades, from Light (fair skin) to Rich (deep tones).

Price: £27 and totally worth it.

Brushes

The GloWish Airbrush Finish Complexion Brush and All Over Bronze Brush are both vegan, synthetic, and made from recycled materials.

They come with reusable pouches (eco points again), and they feel soft but firm enough for both cream and powder products.

The Airbrush Brush gives that diffused, flawless base, while the Bronze Brush blends bronzer seamlessly without streaks.

Prices:

• Complexion Brush – £27
  
• Bronze Brush – £24
  

Final Thoughts

Overall? I’m impressed. The GloWish Multidew Skin Tint is that perfect “good skin day in a bottle.” It’s dewy, breathable, and kind to your skin — just don’t expect it to stay flawless for 12 hours or survive a tight mask.

✅ Pros:

• Hydrating and light
  
• Vegan & cruelty-free
  
• Skin-friendly formula
  
• Glowy natural finish
  
• Works great for sensitive skin
  
• Eco-friendly packaging
  

⚠️ Cons:

• Not transfer-proof
  
• Creases after a few hours
  
• Shade range could be broader
  

Still, if you’re into that radiant, natural makeup look and love the idea of skincare + makeup in one, you’ll fall in love with this line.

It’s the perfect summer essential — a quick glow-up for lazy mornings or days when you just want your skin to breathe.

Verdict: Totally worth it  8.5/10 for glow, comfort, and everyday wear.
