The Tiffen Filter Wheel 3 Glimmerglass 1/2 filter is a beauty filter with a dual function: in addition to modifying the appearance of the image itself, it also presents a sparkling aspect when viewed from the front, inspiring more confidence in the model. The filter itself helps to soften skin details, imperfections and wrinkles. It also produces bright highlights and a slight reduction in contrast for a more ethereal appearance. The 1/2 density offers very slight attenuation and overall modification of the image.

This filter is manufactured using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass and polishing it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch.
