Catrice Soft Glam Filter Fluid Review
Kick Off Summer Glow with This Fluid
summarizeEditor's Summary
I tried Catrice’s new radiant fluid this summer, and honestly it gave me the sun‑kissed glow I was after. The feather‑light formula blends like a dream, the shade 02 nails a warm tan, and the price is a steal for the finish. It stayed put through a beach day, added a subtle radiance without any glitter, and feels like a second skin. If you want a warm, dewy look that isn’t heavy, this fluid could become your go‑to.

live_helpFeatured FAQ
What skin types is Catrice's radiant fluid best for?
It's really happiest on normal to dry skin because the lightweight formula adds a bit of moisture and a soft glow. If you've got oily skin, a light dusting of translucent powder will keep the shine in check.
How does the coverage compare to a traditional liquid foundation?
Think medium, buildable coverage – lighter than a full‑coverage foundation but more coverage than a tinted moisturizer. You can layer it for extra opacity without it caking.
Is the shade 02 suitable for all skin tones?
Shade 02 is aimed at light‑to‑medium skin with warm undertones. If you're deeper, you might need to mix in a darker shade to get a perfect match.
Can I use the fluid as a highlighter?
Absolutely! Its luminous finish works great as a cream highlighter on cheekbones, brow bones, or the inner corner of the eye for an extra pop.
How long does the product last after opening?
Keep it tightly sealed and it'll stay fresh for about a year. Just make sure the cap's screwed on tight after each use so it doesn't dry out.
Does the fluid contain any fragrance or irritants?
It has a light, pleasant scent and is free from parabens and sulfates. If you have super‑sensitive skin, do a quick patch test first.
Is the product cruelty‑free?
Yep – Catrice says the fluid is cruelty‑free and isn’t tested on animals.
Can I apply the fluid with a sponge instead of a brush?
Sure thing. A damp beauty sponge gives an even smoother, airbrushed look and helps the product melt into the skin.
How does the fluid hold up in hot, humid weather?
It stays radiant for a few hours, but in extreme humidity you might want a light setting powder to lock the glow in place.
What is the return policy if I don't like the shade?
Most retailers let you return or exchange unopened items within 30 days. Check the specific store’s policy before you buy.
