15 Favorite Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Finds
With so many makeup artists and celebrity-driven cosmetic lines, it is difficult to stand out from the crowd. Charlotte Tilbury does so by doing something better than most. She creates products that are both luxurious and that go above and beyond what they are meant to do. Charlotte Tilbury launches one holy grail product after another, and it appears she isn’t about to stop soon.
Why are Charlotte Tilbury products so splurge-worthy? Because they amp up your glow like nothing else on the market. The secret is a neutral color range interspersed with spots of classic, glamorous color. Plus the formulas use cutting edge technology to not only enhance the appearance of your skin but to nourish it from the inside out.
Tilbury is a professional makeup artist, doing both editorial work and runway shows for the likes of Prada and Tom Ford. She knows that flawless, radiant skin is the key to beautiful makeup. Therefore, she infuses her products with skin-friendly ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid and peptides. This includes her foundations, concealers, correctors, and primers.
Old school Hollywood glamour is the inspiration behind her famous color products. The bold eye and neutral lip never go out of style, and Charlotte Tilbury does it better than anyone else. And spicy lip colors are her specialty. Can you imagine a night out without a tube of Walk of Shame Matte Revolution in your purse? We can’t either. Read on to discover our favorite Charlotte Tilbury products.
1. Hollywood Flawless Filter
This multi-purpose complexion enhancer makes this dullest skin glow. We can use it on its own as a primer to enhance the wear of your foundation. If you mix a few drops in with your makeup, it imparts an incandescent glow to the skin. Hollywood Flawless Filter is also the perfect liquid highlighter. Apply a drop or two to the top of your cheekbones or above eyebrows to enhance their arch.
2. Light Wonder Foundation
This is possibly the most natural finish we’ve ever seen in a foundation. This lightweight formula provides sheer coverage to the skin, almost like a tinted moisturizer. It is not too matte, nor is it dewy. That is hard to find in a foundation. For days when you want your natural beauty to shine through, this is your best foundation choice. Light Wonder Foundation is also exceptionally hydrating and provides broad-spectrum SPF protection. Oh, and it is very cost-effective. One tube will last about six months.
3. Magic Vanish Color Corrector
Dark circles are a dead giveaway to lack of sleep, and most correctors and concealers are flawed. They either crease halfway through the day, or darkness creeps through the pigment no matter how much you pack it on. Magic Vanish Color Corrector is a game-changer for under-eye circles. The creamy formula uses peach and pink pigments that naturally correct darkness. Better yet, the formula lasts all day long without creasing. Even if you don’t have bad under-eye circles, the formula contains skin brightening mica which makes your peepers sparkle.
4. Magic Away Concealer
Do your eyes need a lift? Look no further than Magic Away Concealer. It provides full coverage and pulls double duty as a fabulous eye treatment product too. Magic Away Concealer contains Persian Silk Tree Bark Extract, which has a lovely lifting effect on the upper brow. This concealer can be used anywhere on the face and does a fantastic job on blemishes. Instead of looking like you are covering up a zit, you just won’t see it. Isn’t that the point of a concealer?
5. Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder
Setting powders are hit and miss with most people. Either they are too cakey and matte, or they don’t get rid of excess shine the way they should. Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder should be called Airbrush Perfect Powder because it does everything right. Smooth as silk, not too matte, and it eliminates shine. Powders don’t get better than this.
6. Luxury Eyeshadow Palette- Pillow Talk Collection
If you’ve never seen the Hollywood classic film Pillow Talk with Doris Day, it is the inspiration for this luxurious palette. The shades don’t crease, and the lightly pigmented shadows are buildable. These four shades are beautiful on just about any skin tone. For those of you in search of the perfect eye-priming shade, look no further than the Prime shade. You can also buy Prime as an individual shade, and it’s well worth the spend.
7. Eyes to Mesmerize Cream Eyeshadow
Cream shadows are often a pain to deal with. Usually, they crease or accentuate those pesky lines we develop on our eyelids. Not this one. This water-based cream shadow is excellent for easy, on the go looks that take seconds to apply. For a polished look, use a cream eye shadow brush. For a natural look, just use your fingertips. It smooths the appearance of the eyelid and lasts all day long. Seriously, this is a holy grail cream shadow that outperforms the competition.
8. Legendary Lashes Volume 2 Mascara
There are dozens of products competing in the eyelash Olympics. It’s hard to know which mascara will deliver on its promises since most of them ultimately don’t. But the Legendary Lashes mascara is a rare find. Like most Tilbury products, it under promises and over-delivers. For seriously glamorous eyelashes, this can’t be beaten. It only takes one or two sweeps of the brush and you will be blown away. Oh, and it holds up like nobody’s business. Even in the humid heat, it will not budge until you remove it.
9. Beauty Highlighter Wand
As we mature, our skin loses that luminosity we once mistook for oiliness. The Beauty Highlighter Wand is the perfect answer to replace that lovely sheen of youth. It comes in four shades, and it is a subtle highlighter that doesn’t compete with the rest of your makeup. It’s perfect for accenting your cheekbones, brows, or to smooth the appearance of nasolabial folds around the mouth.
10. Hollywood Contour Wand
Contouring is an acquired skill, and the Hollywood Contour Wand makes it easy to learn. The wand has an extra soft wand applicator, and the pigments are very natural looking. Though the product is a liquid, it dries down to a soft, matte finish that blends well with other makeup. Though Charlotte Tilbury recommends blending it with a brush, your fingertips work just as well, if not better.
11. Filmstar Bronze And Glow Contour Duo
This shimmery powder duo promises to contour and highlight your face, plus you can use it as a pressed powder. If you love a sparkling glow, this deserves a spot in your makeup collection. It uses soft mica and pearl powders to deliver iridescent shine wherever you apply it. Oh, and if you want to add a little sparkle to your favorite matte eyeshadow, press a bit of this on top of it using your finger.
12. Airbrush Matte Bronzer
If you want a bronzed summer glow that looks real, look no further. This matte bronzer comes in four believable shades that can be used on the face and body. It is perfect for matching the skin of your chest, neck, and face since those three places are often different shades. Just dust a little on your neck starting at the collarbone. For a little more definition, brush it on underneath the jawline.
13. Cheek to Chic Blush
This blush is perfect for either a natural look or for a stunning pop of color on your cheeks. The formula is richly pigmented, and a little goes a long way. We love applying the Airbrush Matte Bronzer to our cheekbones first. Then we smile at ourselves in the mirror and swirl a touch of this blush on the apples of our cheeks. It’s a perfect, rosy glow in a compact.
14. Lip Cheat Lip Liner
This product comes in a variety of skin true shades that stay in place. Thanks to its waterproof formula, it adds definition and helps your lipstick stay in place all day long. For soft lip color that lasts for hours, use this all over your lips in place of lipstick. You will thank us later.
15. Hot Lips Lipstick 2: “In Love With Olivia”
All the Hot Lips Lipsticks are perfect, but the best out of the bunch is “In Love With Olivia.” It’s a soft, lip color correct shade that’s not too pink and not too mauve. We suspect Charlotte tossed in a little brown to make it match the color of natural lips. Seriously, this is a holy grail, everyday lipstick that goes with any outfit you own. Why? Because it looks like your natural lip color, but better.
