Makeup with Charlotte Tilbury

I remember as a teenager my mom allowing me to get clear mascara and a Covergirl compact from Walmart. I was so excited! I loved watching her do her makeup and now it was my turn. Throughout my adult life, my love for makeup has grown; I enjoy playing with a variety of colors and trying new things. Over the last year, I noticed a change in my skin (aging, ugh, lol). The makeup that I was using wasn’t giving me the results that I was hoping for; so I set out on a hunt. I tried many different products, some were good, some not so much. Then I heard about Charlotte Tilbury and her cosmetic line; specifically, her “Magic Foundation.”

I think it is very appropriately named, as it is truly magic. It’s lightweight, gives you a photoshop finish, but doesn’t clog your pores. Sounds like a miracle, right? It also has SPF 15 and major skin benefits (hyaluronic spheres for plumping, mushroom extract for firming, and vitamin C for brightening). I was impressed upon first try and have continued to be each and every day since. The Magic Foundation comes in 18 shades so you’re sure to find the perfect match.

Since using the Magic Foundation, I’ve started trying some of her other products. I’m happy to report that I love them all! They last all day long without creasing or smudging. Whether you’re looking for an everyday look or a night out, she has it. Plus, they are super easy to apply. She’s included a numbering system for each product with details on where to apply each item. If you think you need a bit more assistance, set up an appointment for a make up session. I had a blast with Suqura Shannon at the Charlotte Tilbury counter at Nordstrom. Here’s a look at how she did my makeup and the products I grabbed.
