What I Like About the Glow Recipe Niacinamide Hue Drops
I didn’t expect to love the tinted Hue Drops as much as I do. Many brands claim that its products add a bronzed glow to every skin tone when in reality, they only work on light complexions. On dark skin, they simply have a finish similar to a highlighter, essentially adding radiance without the promised warmth and dimension. When I first applied the Hue Drops, I was pleasantly surprised to see that not only did my skin look warmer, but the subtle tint had a blurring effect, minimizing a few of my smaller blemishes. After using it, I finally understood why some people say that products like these make them feel like they can go out without makeup. These drops simultaneously act as a glow booster and skin diffuser, making your face look like it’s been face-tuned in real life.
Aside from the tint, the Hue Drops have the same watermelon scent as the original and identical skin-care benefits thanks to stand-out ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid.
How to Use the Glow Recipe Niacinamide Hue Drops
These drops have the same application method as the original formula; you can pump two or three drops into your hand and blend into your skin. It’s a serum, so technically it’s supposed to be used before your moisturizer, but because it’s a skin-care makeup hybrid, I like to use it after sunscreen and before makeup. That way, I get to enjoy the glowy finish that the formula offers.
What to Consider About the Glow Recipe Niacinamide Hue Drops
While the Hue Drops work on my complexion, someone with darker skin may not be able to notice the same bronzy finish that I love so much. To me, that means there is an opportunity for a shade extension in the future to accommodate extra deep skin tones.
