    The best way to find calm on a busy wedding morning is by taking a moment to indulge in your skincare ritual. Press pause on your wedding day responsibilities and douse your skin with Charlotte’s MAGIC formulas for some skincare self-care!

    1. Apply Glow Toner using a cotton pad for gentle exfoliation and enhanced glow.
    2. Follow up with Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir to flood the skin with intense hydration thanks to supercharged ingredients polyglutamic acid and REPLEXIUM™.
    3. Moisturize using Charlotte’s Magic Cream to hydrate and revitalize, massaging the product into the centre of the face and moving outwards and upwards.
    4. For under your eyes, dot Magic Eye Rescue eye cream onto the eye area and gently pat into the skin to refresh and brighten the appearance of dark circles.
    5. Lastly, treat yourself to a facial using Collagen Superfusion Facial Oil. Pat gently into the skin letting plant extracts, essential oils and Charlotte’s youth-boosting collagen matrix enhance your glow ahead of your magical mother of the bride makeup!

    STEP 2: A GORGEOUS LIGHT BASE

    On such an important day, you’ll want to use complexion products you can depend on. Charlotte’s flawless favourites are perfect for creating a base that feels LIGHT, providing coverage only where necessary and enhancing your NATURAL RADIANCE.

    1. For a Hollywood-worthy canvas, apply Charlotte’s Hollywood Flawless Filter to beautify your complexion with a stunning, starlet glow.
    2. Reach for Magic Vanish colour corrector and apply under the eyes to brighten and conceal the appearance of dark circles.
    3. Apply Charlotte’s NEW! Beautiful Skin Radiant Concealer under the eyes and over smile lines, building up to a medium coverage and blending out seamlessly to help perfect the complexion while diminishing the appearance of fine lines.

    Tilbury Tip: You can also apply Wonderglow, Charlotte’s illuminating and priming beauty secret for a BORN-TO-GLOW complexion.
