There's no denying it, Sophie Habboo has amazing skin. The 31-year-old, who rose to fame after joining hit reality series Made In Chelsea back in 2017, has become somewhat of a beauty muse in the UK. With a loyal following on social media who are tuned into her every product recommendation (one million on Instagram, to be precise), her counsel is one we can trust.

  • Sophie Habboo revealed she's a fan of the Max Factor Glow Framer, £8.24 - describing it as her "new makeup bag bestie".
  • It's a blendable and weightless formula that can be used underneath makeup or on its own.
  • Available in six stretchable shades and Sophie wears 10Sand. 

So, when she revealed that her latest makeup obsession was an £8 buy from Amazon, we started taking notes. Enter: Max Factor’s new Glow Framer, £8.24. “This is everything I love in a product,” she said at the time in a paid for ad campaign. "I genuinely have used this all summer."

The bronzing and illuminating tint is equally as perfect for adding warmth and radiance to your beauty routine in autumn. It has red carpet appeal too, with Sophie wearing it under her foundation for The Roses premiere, which she attended with husband Jamie Laing.

Available in six shades, Max Factor's Glow Framer is a skin tint designed to both contour and highlight – talk about a multitasker. It can be used frame and enhance your features by layering it under heavier products, or it can be used to softly contour by placing it on top of foundation. 

If an all-over glow is more your style, then fear not. The weightless formula can be worn alone to add even, lustrous warmth to your complexion, which is something many of us are crying out for this time of year. 

The fluid texture is featherlight and easy to blend. It's infused with soft shimmers and bronzing pigments that melt into skin to deliver a seamless finish. Think of it as a one-stop-shop for achieving a multidimensional glow and giving yourself a subtly sun-kissed look as the cold weather continues to creep in. 

What do the reviews say about Max Factor Glow Framer?

Since its release earlier this year, reviews for the Glow Framer have been ushering in. Beauty buffs have praised how it makes their skin look “incredibly smooth” and “blends easily in without ever feeling heavy or sticky”.

And there’s more: “This glow tint is so versatile! I’ve been using it three different ways and it’s become a lovely addition to my makeup routine. On holiday, I wore it all over for a dewy, radiant base. For everyday, I’ve mixed a couple of drops with my usual foundation to add a subtle glow. I’ve also used it as a bronzer and contour by dabbing it along the areas I want to frame. It washes off easily with my regular cleanser and is gentle on my sensitive skin. A little goes a long way and I can see this lasting me ages!”

Another review reads: "I love this product. I used is as a skin tint and use my hands to apply it to my face. I just rub it in and in 10 seconds, you have the perfect glowy finish – and it covers most of my imperfections."
