Advertising Feature: The Charlotte Tilbury tricks for glowing party skin
Nothing attracts compliments like dewy skin, and it only takes a little extra effort to add radiance to your evening look
Invest in some key products to make your complexion glow – Charlotte Tilbury has created a range of products that not only offer instant results but also have long-lasting properties and will improve your skin every time you apply them.
Step one: Skin
To create a radiant base, the trick is in the prep: Charlotte’s Magic Cream Treat & Transform Moisturiser is a cult favourite that has anti-aging properties and creates a great canvas for make-up, with a dewy finish. Apply all over, whatever your skin type.
Step two: Base
Choose a hardworking base – the Wonderglow Instant Soft-Focus Beauty Flash Primer brightens dull skin in an instant and gives a completely flawless finish – and blend with the Hollywood Complexion Brush. Disguise dark circles and blemishes with Magic Away Liquid Concealer – it contains Persian silk tree bark extract for an elastic texture that will smooth the skin instantly.
Step three: Blush
Take the Pretty Glowing Skin Palette, exclusive to John Lewis & Partners, and apply the Airbrush Flawless Finish pressed powder to the T-zone, smoothing lines and imperfections. Next, brush the Bronze and Contour powder across the forehead and nose, then suck in cheeks and add a pop to the hollow. Use the Blusher Brush to apply Pretty Blush to the apples of the cheeks, then finish with the Bar of Gold on top of the cheekbones, at the inner corner of the eyes, down the nose and on the Cupid’s bow.
Step four: Eyes
Use the three Love Eyes colours from the Stars In Your Eyes Palette, applying the prime tone all over the lids with the Blender Brush, and the second on top for a peachy golden glow. Then use the dusty rose shade in the crease, before using the Eye Smudger Brush to apply it under the eye. Line top lids with The Classic Liner in Audrey: start in the inner corner and draw a line along the top lid, then look straight in the mirror, put a dot where you want your flick to end and draw a line from the outer corner of your eye to meet it for the perfect feline shape. Apply lashings of Legendary Lashes Volume 2 Mascara for added impact. Tidy the brows with Brow Lift, then comb into place with Legendary Brows in Supermodel: this tints the hairs and contains castor oil to help with brow growth.
Step five: Lips
Line the lip and fill it in with Lip Cheat Lip Liner Pencil in Pillow Talk, then apply, straight from the bullet, Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk, which mimics the lips’ natural rosy hue.
