As the make-up artist Charlotte Tilbury receives an MBE, we round-up our must-buy products from her range
"Give a women the right to make-up and she can conquer the world," says Charlotte Tilbury.
Charlotte Tilbury is known for her large-than-life personality, being hilariously funny and using the word 'darling' in every other sentence. She started her career at Glauca Rossi School of Make-up before assisting Princess Diana's make-up artist Mary Greenwell. Twenty three years on she is now one of the world's leading make-up artists, has a beauty empire, Charlotte Tilbury make-up and you would be hard pushed to find an A-lister that Tilbury hasn’t worked with.
In 2013, Tilbury launched her skincare and make up brand exclusively at Selfridges. Tilbury herself is the personification of her brand with almost two million followers on Instagram and an impressive 120 awards under her belt. Her USP is red-carpet-to-reality make up, making Hollywood glamour attainable for all- and boy does it do what it says on the tin, her products are magic. The brand recently launched Hollywood Flawless Filter, the ultimate celebrity-skin-in-a-bottle. Tilbury's collection also includes a royal shade inspired by the Duchess of Cambridge called The Duchess, a girly, Tea-Rose Pink shade that is flattering on all skin tones.
Tilbury is many A-lister's go-to for glamorous events and standout make-up. Her client list includes Amal Clooney, Poppy Delevingne, Cindy Crawford, Gigi Hadid, Mariah Carey and Kate Moss, to name a few.
It's fair to say that Charlotte's career as gone from strength to strength and she really has changed the world of beauty one lipstick at a time. Here are some of our favourite products...
