Charlotte Tilbury's make-up is the bomb.
Unrivalled. Intricately formulated but robustly idiot-proof, it instructively — but not tediously — decodes Charlotte’s artistry. This isthe woman who invented Kate Moss’ feline rock-chick face, who crafts the faces for the highest-end fashion campaigns, paints Oscar attendees to alien-y perfection and has anonymously designed hysterically revered make-up ranges for other brands. Her own line launched last September and has gone stratospheric.
All I’ve heard for the past week is how radiant I look — this with a filthy cold and a nine-month bump to lug around on a sprained ankle, all bathed in the exposingly fresh, early spring daylight. I assure you, any perceived glow is artifice. Well, it’s Wonderglow — an anti-ageing hybrid that helps you find your light, as though you’re wandering through life with your own director of photography.
It absorbs UV particles and re-emits them across your face so you appear to radiate sunlight. And luminosity. And youth. I forgot to put it under my foundation the other night so I washed my face and began again. Unheard of. Who has time?
Tilbury is extending her range this summer, so brace yourself for another hagiography from me later in the
year just to alert you: eyeliners that put stars in your eyes, body shimmer that is a dose of
Gisele in a jar. I swear the woman’s a witch.
