Recently, in an uncharacteristic moment of organization, I opened my jammed drawer full of different brands of lipsticks, blushes and foundations ā you name it, I have it. Ā I can hardly wait for theĀ Allure beauty issue to arrive each year, where I love checking out the ābest of beautyā awards. Ā My drawer contains many different brands, which is how I make my selections; the best of the best. Ā However, I noticed all the pretty rose gold containers intermixed with all the black (aka Chanel). Ā Rose gold containers? Ā That means Charlotte Tilbury.
what I discovered is there are 5 Charlotte Tilbury products Iām using every single day.
Charlotte Tilbury is a British makeup artist and creator of her own cosmetic line. Ā In 2013, she launched this line in Selfridges, which quickly became one of the storeās most popular makeup counters. Now, itās carried in Net-a-Porter, Nordstrom, Sephora and other major retailers in the US.
#1 magic cream
It was my daughter who introduced me to this cult favorite, best selling moisturizer cream. Ā I use it every day under my foundation since it provides a smooth base for any makeup look. Ā ItĀ has a faint rose scent which makes me feel fresh and clean. Ā It received the Allure Best of Beauty award.
#2 k.i.s.s.i.n.g lipstick
I love lipstick. Ā I cannot think of a better, inexpensive way to change your whole look. Ā Pillow Talk is the color that literally everyone wears. Ā From Alexa Chung, to Emma Roberts… to me! Ā Itās the perfect everyday nude. Ā I also wear Bitch Perfect regularly, and recently purchased Kidmanās Kiss which is a slightly pinkier nude. Ā And when Iām being really daring, I go for Tell Laura which is a geranium red.
#3 magic away concealer
Always on the search for something magic to hide my tired eyes, I will try anything that might work. Ā I love the ease of the sponge applicator, and the concealer is water resistant and lasts about 15 hours. Ā Itās the perfect balance between covering dark circles and brightening your appearance. Ā I gently use my fingertip to tap it in so it doesnāt settle in my wrinkles. I purchased color number 4.
#4 airbrush flawless finish powder
This super-luxe micro powder is seriously the best – it literally gives you flawless skin. Ā Itās the finishing touch after Iāve applied all my makeup, and a with a quick, light brush all over, I instantly feel pretty and ready to go. Ā I use color medium.
#5 lip pencil in pillow talk
Nothing more to say here except the lip pencil in Pillow Talk is probably the most famous color of lip liner currently on the market. Ā This iconic liner launched to worldwide acclaim in 2013 and has become a āheroā product. Ā It goes with every lipstick in my drawer and makes your lips look fuller and more lustrous – per Charlotte Tilbury, āyour lips – but better.ā
