Hi pretties! ✨
If there’s one beauty brand that completely changed how I see makeup, it’s Charlotte Tilbury.
From the rose-gold packaging to that signature soft glow, every product feels like a little piece of Hollywood magic. It’s not just makeup — it’s confidence in a compact.
Charlotte’s products have become a part of my everyday routine. Today, I wanted to shine a spotlight on the brand. It made me fall in love with beauty all over again.
The Story Behind the Brand
Charlotte Tilbury founded her namesake brand in 2013 after decades as one of the world’s leading makeup artists. Her vision was simple: to make every person feel as beautiful and confident as the stars she worked with.
I love the brand’s story because it merges old-Hollywood glamour with modern simplicity. This includes glowing skin, sultry eyes, and that iconic Pillow Talk lip. Everything about it says effortless confidence, wrapped in rose gold. It’s that perfect blend of artistry and accessibility. Luxurious, but still wearable enough for a casual brunch. It’s also suitable for a travel day.
The Glow-Getter Face Staples
Glow Guide Face Architect Highlighter
Let’s start with glow — because with Charlotte Tilbury, it always begins with glow.
This highlighter is stunning, both inside and out. The star-engraved design makes me want to display it on my vanity. The formula gives that glass-skin sheen. It never looks glittery or harsh. I love how buildable it is. Just one swipe gives subtle radiance. You can layer it up for a dewy editorial finish.
Why I love it: It makes my skin look alive and luminous even on tired days.
Cheek to Chic Blush in Pillow Talk
An absolute classic. This rosy-nude blush is everything soft and flattering — it brightens my face instantly and adds that healthy “I-just-got-some-fresh-air” flush.
The subtle shimmer in the center gives a diffused glow that makes highlighter optional. I’ve worn this with both bare skin and full glam, and it always pulls the look together.
Why I love it: It’s foolproof — a blush that never overdoes it.
Pillow Talk Multi-Glow Highlighter
I still adore this one even though it’s discontinued (please bring it back, Charlotte!). The quilted pattern is so pretty, and the shades blend beautifully for a soft, pink-gold gleam.
Why I love it: It gives that lit-from-within halo that looks ethereal in both sunlight and photos.
Pillow Talk Beautifying Face Palette in Flawless Pink
One of my most-used multitasking palettes. It has everything you need to look put together — blush, highlight, and finishing powder. I love bringing it on trips because it saves space while still giving me all the glow I need.
Why I love it: It’s compact, travel-friendly, and instantly elevates any look.
Filmstar Bronze and Glow
The definition of classic elegance. The sculpt shade adds natural warmth, while the highlight gives a subtle candlelight sheen. It’s not heavy or overly defined — just soft, seamless dimension.
Why I love it: It’s timeless — one of those products that makes you feel instantly polished.
Pillow Talk Beauty Soulmates Palette in Flawless Pink
Another limited-edition gem. The combination of a matte blush and silky finishing powder is perfection. I love that I can use the powders individually or swirl them together for a gentle, airbrushed finish.
Why I love it: It’s elegant and simple — a mini “get ready” palette in one compact.
Eyes That Mesmerize
Charlotte Tilbury’s eye products always strike that balance between glamour and ease. They feature wearable shimmer and flattering tones. The formulas blend effortlessly.
Luxury Palette in Pillow Talk
A soft pink-mauve quad that flatters every mood. The shadows are buttery and cohesive, making it easy to create both everyday and evening looks.
Why I love it: It’s my go-to when I want something romantic but subtle.
Exaggereyes Palette
Designed to brighten and open up the eyes, this palette is perfect for understated glamour. The champagne shimmer shade adds instant freshness.
Why I love it: It’s universally flattering and easy to wear for work, travel, or events.
Easy Eye Palette in Charlotte Darling
A cozy everyday favorite with peachy-pinks and warm neutrals. Sadly discontinued, but still one of my most-reached-for palettes.
Why I love it: It’s foolproof — the kind of palette you can’t go wrong with.
Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes Mascara
I didn’t expect to love this one as much as I do. It gives amazing lift and separation without clumping, and it actually holds throughout the day.
Why I love it: Defined, lengthened lashes that make me look more awake — no falsies needed.
Eyes to Mesmerize Cream Shadow in Pillow Talk
A creamy, rosy-taupe that glides on like silk. I use it for lazy-day glam — one swipe, a little mascara, and I’m done.
Why I love it: It’s effortless, elegant, and travel-friendly.
Jewel Pot in Walk of Shame
This was limited edition, but I’ll cherish it forever. The coppery rose shimmer catches the light beautifully — think dewy sparkle, not chunky glitter.
Why I love it: It’s a one-and-done eyeshadow that makes my eyes look extra bright.
Charlotte’s Iconic Lips
If there’s one category where Charlotte Tilbury truly shines, it’s lips. Soft, flattering tones that work for every occasion — and that signature Pillow Talk lineup is my holy grail.
Big Lip Plumpgasm Plumping Lip Gloss
A comfortable plumping gloss that gives fullness without the sting. The shade Pillow Talk Fair Pink-Nude is my go-to for everyday wear.
Why I love it: Shiny, cushiony, and hydrating — the perfect balance.
Collagen Lip Bath Gloss
For days when I want juicy, glossy lips that still feel natural. The heart-shaped applicator is adorable, and it gives that smooth, mirror-like shine.
Why I love it: Subtle plump, elegant finish, and perfect over any lipstick.
Lip Lustre Lip Gloss
An everyday essential. This shade is the “soft pink nude” that fits every look — from cozy sweaters to evening dresses.
Why I love it: The shimmer is delicate, not sparkly, and the formula feels light yet moisturizing.
Matte Revolution Lipsticks in Pillow Talk, Pillow Talk Fair & Very Victoria
My favorite trio.
- Pillow Talk — the iconic muted pink nude that started it all.
- Pillow Talk Fair — lighter and softer, perfect for fresh-faced days.
- Very Victoria — a taupe-rose that feels sophisticated and understated.
Why I love them: Non-drying, comfortable, and elegant — truly “my lips but better.”

The Magic of Charlotte Tilbury
Charlotte Tilbury’s charm isn’t just in her packaging — it’s in how her products make you feel. Every item in my collection has that same intention: soft, glowy, romantic beauty that still feels wearable.
I feel polished without trying too hard with these pieces. Whether I’m filming content, going out for coffee, or staying home editing blog posts, they provide that polished feel. It’s luxury with a touch of comfort — and that’s exactly what I love about this brand.
