Think of your makeup look like a painting, darlings. To create a makeup masterpiece, you need a flawless canvas for textures to smooth onto and for colours to pop. Skincare and primer are the secret to preparing your complexion for a perfect makeup application; when skin looks smooth and plump and feels richly hydrated, makeup will always look better! I never do a makeup look without prepping skin with my miracle moisturiser, Charlotte’s Magic Cream. My iconic face cream transforms the look of dehydrated skin in just 28 seconds, creating a silky, cushioning effect that layers effortlessly underneath makeup. Magic Cream is Magic Skin, darlings – 93% agree makeup lasts longer with Magic Cream!*
Everyone’s skin is different – what works for you may not work for your best friend! Sometimes it feels like your skin is repelling your foundation, and this is likely because the formula doesn’t agree with your skin type. Understanding your skin type will help you to choose a foundation that lasts all day!
If your foundation is clinging to dry patches and cracking throughout the day, it’s likely you have a dry skin type and need an emollient cream foundation like Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint.
If your foundation starts to look greasy or shiny after a couple of hours, you may have an oily skin type that prefers a mattifying foundation like AIRbrush Flawless Foundation.
Know your skin type, darlings, and you can architect your perfect makeup routine that lasts all day and night!
Applying a thick layer of foundation or haphazardly blobbing blush onto your cheeks rarely looks flattering, darlings! Not everyone is a natural when it comes to applying makeup, but with my Tilbury Tips, your makeup will last longer and look more flawless! Take a less is more approach to makeup and slowly build up your look in light layers. Use stippling motions to press a light amount of product into your skin and blend well, applying more product as and when you feel you need more pigment. Taking the extra time to buff and blend makeup into your skin will help your makeup to look more seamless and wear better throughout the day.
Tilbury Tip: Darlings, using the right makeup brushes will go a long way! Discover my guide to the best makeup brushes to use for each of your makeup steps.
How do you make makeup last all day? Setting powder and setting spray. Neglecting to use setting powder and setting spray in your makeup routine is a faux pas for long-lasting makeup, darlings. If you want your makeup to last all day, a flawless setting powder and setting spray combination is non-negotiable! Backstage at red carpets, fashion shows and editorials, I use my AIRbrush Flawless makeup secrets to finish and set every makeup look I create. AIRbrush Flawless Finish powder and AIRbrush Flawless Setting Spray are twin flames – they belong together! I have created what I call my Sandwich Hack to make makeup last all night and look airbrushed in real life!
What’s the difference between setting powder vs setting spray?

Take my AIRbrush Flawless Finish powder on the Powder & Sculpt Brush and lightly apply in your T-zone, under your eyes and anywhere you want to mattify and set. My iconic finishing powder formula is so finely milled that it never looks cakey or powdery, just airbrushed! Stipple your brush over foundation and concealer to really press your powder into skin – this is the secret to getting that super smooth-looking, blur-effect base makeup.
After applying powder, reach for AIRbrush Flawless Setting Spray and set everything into place with a fine mist. Hold your setting spray about 8 inches from your face, then evenly mist 3-5 spritzes of setting spray over your face to create a weightless film that locks in makeup for up to 16 hours**. Choose my original setting spray for a natural-looking, radiant finish or my matte setting spray for a powder-blur matte look. Whichever formula you choose, darlings, set your makeup with AIRbrush Flawless Setting Spray and it won’t budge all night!
Discover the differences between matte vs dewy setting spray
The secret final step in my Sandwich Hack is while your setting spray is drying, reach for your powder and tap, tap, tap to apply a second layer of smoothing and blurring effect finishing powder. My AIRbrush products mesh beautifully with one another and give your complexion that real-life airbrush effect. No creasing, caking or powdery residue… My Sandwich Hack helps makeup to last all day and stay looking flawless!
Tilbury Tip: Try shade 4 from my Hollywood Instant Look In A Palette - it's a pink setting powder that brightens, sets and colour-corrects!
