I have fallen in love. Her name is Charlotte…
If you haven’t heard of Charlotte Tilbury (If you haven’t heard of her, you will definitely have seen her work on glossy magazine covers), she is a magnificent, inspiring and an all round fabulous makeup artist. She has been doing makeup for the likes of Kate Moss, Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Penelope Cruz and Rhianna for over 20 years. This also covers her work for numerous covers of Tatler, Vogue, Elle and other glossy magazines, amazing photographers and designers.
Charlotte released her own line of makeup in September of 2013. The range centres around 10 makeup looks, one or more suitable for every woman. The quality of the packaging and products themselves is phenomenal. As a makeup artist, Charlotte has produced everything to have a purpose, no detail has been overlooked. I am in love with the names for the products too; the brow pencils, Brow Lift, are named after women with iconic brows; Cara D, Brooke S and Grace K (http://www.charlottetilbury.com/shop-by-product/eyes/eyebrow-pencil.html)
The set up for this talk was slightly different to the Trish McEvoy talk I attended recently. The McEvoy talk was centred on us watching her do a demo, then have an Artist (in my case, a really pushy artist!) do the makeover on you. For Tilbury’s talk, the guests were sat around tables of four or five people with the products displayed in front of us.
Tilbury then talked us through her Golden Goddess look; she would do a step on her model, Tuesday Rose, we then repeated this on our own faces, with the help of one of her Team Tilbury members that were on hand. I spotted Laura from Laura Lou Beauty and headed straight to her table! The excitement from Team Tilbury was brilliant and they are all absolute babes! Instead of running through step-by-step, here is the link for the tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39eUq7TRaus Everything used is listed here: http://www.charlottetilbury.com/shop-by-look/the-golden-goddess.html
Afterwards, we were able to have a closer look at Tuesday’s finished look, and have a quick word with Charlotte. She is such a gorgeous person and I had a brilliant afternoon with her and the team. I had a Tilbury Transformation after the lesson and will post the details soon, and with details of the product I purchased!
Are you a fan of Charlotte too? If so, have you been able to test any of her makeup line and what is your favourite product?
