The Cosmotel hosted a masterclass with two of the Charlotte Tilbury pro makeup artists to showcase their first ever Eid boxes. There are two collections filled with trinkets, treats and treasures. Also, they launched in the UAE first before the global launch, so we are the FIRST in the world to receive them.
So, let’s walk you through how to get the perfect Charlotte Tilbury make-up look:
First, we prep the skin using the Magic Serum Crystal Elixir, use four to six drops and warm it up in your hands. Then the makeup artist used the magic eye cream and the magic face cream which works as a moisturizer and a primer. The magic cream also comes in a lighter version for oilier and combination skin.
Now onto makeup, she then used the Flawless Filter and there are a couple ways to use it, one of them being using it before foundation as a base to increase coverage. Side note: this product was created because of Instagram filters, the smoothness that filters have on your skin inspired Charlotte to create a product that had the same effect. Boom, we have the Flawless Filter.
Next, the makeup artist used the airbrush Flawless Foundation which is fully packed with treat and transform ingredients. She also gave us some tips to have it look as flawless as it did on the model; use a dense foundation brush. If you want a more natural look mix the foundation with the Magic Cream and use your hands to apply and rub in.
Then, she used Magic Away Undereye Concealer, she also said the CT technique is applying concealer after foundation because it gives you better coverage. The Charlotte Tilbury technique is all about healthy, glossy and radiant complexion.
The makeup artist set the under eyes and the T-zone with the Airbrush Flawless Finish powder to blur the face. Next, she used the TikTok famous Hollywood Contour Wand which blew up and sold out right after Madison Beer posted her Vogue Makeup Routine. This product imitates the natural shadow and can be built up for a more sculpted look.
Another secret the pro makeup spilled was that we should always be setting our brows to absorb the excess oil. CT also recently dropped three new brow products for super model brows, there’s a precise pencil that’s waterproof, long lasting to imitate brow hairs. The first step is lifting, and the second step is feathering. There is also a mini mascara for your brows to give you the laminated look and holds up your brows all day.
For eyes, she used the Pillow Talk luxury palette and has instructions on how to use and apply it, you don’t need an eyeshadow primer when using this palette. Next, she used the pillow talk eyeliner that enhances any eye color, and her pro-tip is to make sure you’re getting really close to the lash line for a fuller lash look. The CT technique is all about elongated feline look. The she used the pillow talk mascara which has a micro-precision brush that lifts and combs the lashes and has Keratin in it.
Next, lips! She used the Pillow Talk in nude pink which enhances the natural colour of your lips and it also comes in medium and intense shades.
Lastly, cheeks, the makeup artist used Cheek to Cheek in Pillow talk. She swirled her brush around the darker shade and added it to the apples of the model’s cheeks. Her pro-tip was that you should always apply blush after lipstick so you can balance it out rather than having too much blush.
