Charlotte Tilbury

Oh just look at these beautiful products, Have you ever seen anything so gorgeously photogenic as this? The make up artist Charlotte Tilbury realised her make up range in 2013 and since then has made waves in the beauty industry. Each of the products wrapped in rose gold packaging just screams luxury but like most people ask is it worth the price tag?
There are lots of positive reviews but sometimes reading reviews on beauty products doesn't exactly give you the answers you need because every single persons different and a product could work great on somebody but not yourself so the only way was to grit my teeth and press check out on the beautylish website..oops!
The moment I laid my eyes on the opulent packaging, I realised I had no regrets. I mean, Charlotte just gets it. I picked up the Matte Revolution Lipstick in Very Victoria (£23) and the Air Brush Flawless Finish powder in Fair (£33)
I wanted to post some early thoughts baring in mind I've only been using these products for a week or so. Firstly, the shade Very Victoria is just perfection. It is more of a satin-matte finish, and if you look closely, there are some gold reflects through it. It’s creamy and comfortable. It’s not super pigmented – it takes me a few swipes to get full opacity, which I found surprising. Is it revolutionary, as the name would suggest? I don’t think so, but it’s a pretty damn lovely lipstick and I can’t help but feel a little bit special when I whip out the stunning bullet out of my make up draw.
I was most looking forward to trying the Air Brush Flawless Finish powder. I’d briefly heard a few bloggers/vloggers talk about it, and I was getting pretty bored of using my Rimmel Stay Matte everyday and i there is nothing wrong with spending a little extra on a make up powder. What an upgrade is was though. Firstly, i thought the powder was going to be far to light for me when i first saw the product in the pan even though i have quiet fair skin. However it didn't change the colour of my chosen base. The product doesn't add coverage but it did set my make up nicely and blurred out my pores and fine lines. It is a micro-fine powder with soft-focus nano particles, and its texture is silky smooth. It’s not completely mattifying, as it still allows the skin to look like skin, which is what we want, right? However if you have oily skin thought you may have to touch up throughout the day.
Still early days, but so far I’m very happy with both these products and I definitely want to keep exploring Charlotte Tilbury’s fabulous line. Next on the list for when I’m feeling super spendy are the Filmstar Bronze & Glow (a cult classic), the Light Wonder Foundation and a Lip Cheat lip pencil.
Thanks for reading,
