It’s no secret that I’ve been pining over Charlotte Tilbury for over a year. I’ve even taken to the Twitter with several fellow beauty bloggers as we went back and forth trying to coordinate a mass order from Selfridges (to combat shipping cost). It unfortunately never ended up happening, but all was made well when I saw that the brand would be one of the exhibitors at The Makeup Show this year in New York City. Unfortunately they weren’t there to sell anything, but more to showcase the brand and bring awareness to the pros that Charlotte Tilbury would officially be hitting the US in September.
I’m not one for posting press info lately, but I’m really really excited to finally get to purchase products from Charlotte Tilbury, so you get to see all of the goodies and share in my lemmings. My wishlist is mighty, and consists of about 95% of the line (only because some of the foundations won’t match me). I’ll have to purchase in waves, but be prepared for as much Tilbury as I can!
As the world’s number one make-up artist, Charlotte Tilbury understands the power of make-up like no-one else. With over 20 years at the forefront of the make-up industry, working with the world’s top models, photographers, celebrities and designers, Charlotte has poured her best-kept secrets into an edited ‘all-you-need’ skincare and make-up collection.
Charlotte believes that beauty is not an exclusive club. Make-up is every woman’s secret weapon to become her most beautiful and confident self. Charlotte understands that make-up must be easy and fool-proof – from how you buy it to how you use it. With this in mind, Charlotte has created an uncompromising collection for the modern woman who is as likely to do her makeup on the run as she is to sit down at a vanity. By decoding her expertise into essential make-up tips, tricks and tools, Charlotte has created a new make-up mantra for every woman: EASY TO CHOOSE, EASY TO USE and ALWAYS IRRESISTIBLE.
