The high street 'magic in a bottle' £13 'dupe' of £39 Charlotte Tilbury primer (2024)

Are you a fan of Charlotte Tilbury's iconic Hollywood Flawless Filter, but find the £39 price-tag a little out of your budget?

If you are, you're in luck, as we have spotted an affordable high street buy that beauty buffs say is "literally like" the iconic brand. Even better, it costs just under £13, so you won't have to break your bank for flawless results.

It is the 3-in-1 Rimmel London Better Than Filter, and it costs just £12.99 at the likes of some of our favourite retailers including Superdrug and Boots. Acting as a primer, glow booster and highlighter, it is the ultimate multi-tasker for your beauty routine.

The Rimmel London bottle comes complete with a soft touch wand for an easy, mess-free application that is similar to the Charlotte Tilbury bottle. Meanwhile, beauty buffs say its "luxuriously silky" formula "sits great on the skin".

Available in eight shades for different skin tones, the formula infuses natural biopeptides with Vitamins C and E to give the skin a "perfect healthy glow" that "blurs fine lines". According to the brand, your skin is said to be "revitalised" and "better looking" within just four weeks.

A third Charlotte Tilbury fan wrote: "I was pleasantly surprised by this product. I've always used the Charlotte Tilbury flawless filter, BUT this does the exact same thing! My skin was glowing and I even noticed it blurred my fine lines. It also lasted ages and I didn't need to top up my makeup at all throughout the day."

Another fan wrote: "This product is amazing it's like magic in a bottle. It is Long lasting, it glides on the skin and very easy to apply. It can be worn just on its own or it can be used as a base and gives an even glow across the skin. It is so versatile and can be used as a contour to make up. Definitely impressed and will be purchasing again :)."

Nevertheless, one user did find that the primer did not work well with their other skincare products. They wrote: "This product is a good dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury flawless filter. However, some of my skincare that I use daily separates from this and I had to keep taking it off and starting all over again. Frustrating so wouldn't repurchase."

Shoppers can purchase the Rimmel Better Than Filters for £12.99 from both Superdrug and Boots.
