It seems the whole world is exhilarated at the prospect of Adele performing once again having just announced her residency in Munich - somewhere she's not played since 2016. Sharing the news on her social media, not only were were blown away by the reveal that (one of the many) Queen of Pop was playing another big concert and so soon, but by the positively stunning - as per - series of images she posted teasing it the day before in which she looked flawless.

And it seems the 35-year-old uses some pretty attainable products to achieve her glamorous finish - in particular, what she uses on her face. In an interview in 2022, the pop singer revealed to YouTuber and makeup artist Nikkie Tutorials the one brand she swears by to give her complexion a boost, glow and 'Flawless Finish': Charlotte Tilbury.

After being asked about her go-to makeup routine - which, of course, includes her famous 'cat eye' liner, curated by her MUA Michael Ashton, the mother of one said: "I’ll literally just put on Charlotte Tilbury, that glowy thing…that glowy cream, I put it on just over my face.

"And then I put a really nice bronze highlight pretty much all over my face,” before remarking: “I look like I just walked off the beach."

Now, of course, with Charlotte Tilbury being pretty renowned for helping beauty buffs achieve a luminous, radiant glow, that could be a number of items in the makeup artist's collection, from Wonderglow to Charlotte's Magic Cream. However, a large number of publications, including People Magazine, have established Adele to be referring to the iconic Hollywood Flawless Filter, £39.

As stated by the brand, this particular product was "inspired by the perfecting properties of social media and illuminating effects of Hollywood lights. It blurs, smooths and illuminates for the most magical glow of your life!" No wonder Adele loves it!

The product can be worn on its own, underneath, mixed with or on top of foundation and is sold every two minutes - proving its popularity not just among Hollywood's finest - like Adele and more recently Emma Stone at the Golden Globes - but the whole world.

Offering stunning moisture for 24 hours, brighter and youthful looking skin, the primer has received an impressive 1000+ five star reviews that glow almost as much as the product claims to, with a number citing it as 'life changing'.

One said: "I’ve tried many primers that are meant to add ‘a glow from within look’, but this one definitely wins!!! It makes your skin look so youthful and healthy. You NEED this!"

Another, who remarked it gave them a 'superior glow' added: "It make my skin look radiant like super model skin I don’t wear foundation no more just concealer where I need it and it makes my skin look like skin."

A third stated it was the 'holy grail of products' and said: "The absolute holy grail of products. If I only had one product I could use it would be this. I use it as a primer, mix with my foundation and wear it on its own for a natural dewy base that just blurs your skin giving it the healthiest look but so natural. It lasts forever as you don’t need a lot, plus you can use it as a highlighter, and best of all doesn’t break out my combination skin! Just love it."

Although, as with many facial products, there were some whose skin didn't quite agree with the product with one disappointed in its 'sticky, gloopy and shiny' consistency. While others stated it caused them to break out.

Now, while this product isn't the most expensive, it isn't the most budget friendly - for something that has been raved about for giving the same 'glowy' effects, beauty buffs are loving £15 E.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter as well as Revolution Pro's brand new Silk Skin, £10.99 - which we, at The Mirror, love. Read why here.
