Darlings, we all love a bold, colourful and creative makeup look! But sometimes the day calls for simple, pared-back beauty that’s quick, easy and fuss-free!
A simple makeup look works wonders when you’re short on time or you’re wanting to create a natural-looking finish that transitions from AM to PM with ease! If you’re looking for tips, tricks and inspiration on how to achieve simple everyday makeup or a ‘no makeup’ makeup look, then you’ve come to the right place.
Read on to discover one of my favourite easy makeup looks that will give you flawless, natural-looking beauty in minutes…
MAGIC STEP 1: Create a Clean and Hydrated Canvas
First things first. Before applying any makeup, your skin should be clean, moisturised and hydrated! My guide to the correct order of skincare products for your routine tells you everything you need to know for MAGIC skin! I never do makeup without first moisturising the skin with my award-winning Charlotte's Magic Cream; it’s essential for creating a hydrated, brighter, and plumper-looking canvas for every look!
Tilbury Tip: Don’t forget to clean your hands before applying my MAGIC skincare products.
MAGIC STEP 2: Prime Your Face
The next step is to put your base in place! My ICONIC face primers will create a smooth and plumper-looking complexion and will give your makeup products some serious staying power. My research-powered primers include Wonderglow for a smoother-looking, candlelit complexion and Invisible UV Flawless Poreless Primer SPF50, a poreless primer and sunscreen in one!
Tilbury Tip: Once you’ve applied your primer, wait a minute or two before applying your makeup. This will give your primer some time to settle while allowing all of my MAGICAL skincare ingredients to absorb into your skin!
MAGIC STEP 3: Achieve Flawless Coverage
For your simple everyday makeup look to reap the best beauty results, it’s important to conceal any imperfections and create a FLAWLESS-LOOKING base! My Magic Vanish! is a long-wear colour corrector that visibly conceals the look of dark spots and circles and helps to correct uneven skin tone. Apply to your face and under-eye area before creating buildable medium coverage with my hydrating Charlotte's Beautiful Skin Foundation for a beautiful, healthy-looking GLOW!
Tilbury Tip: Don’t forget to clean your makeup brushes before applying your makeup. My guide to how to clean your makeup brushes tells you everything you need to know.

MAGIC STEP 4: Give Yourself a Complexion-Perfecting Glow
After you’ve applied your foundation, lock in your base using my MAGIC face powders! My Airbrush Flawless Finish is a perfectly pressed powder with smoothing effects, while my Airbrush Brightening Flawless Finish will brighten, blur and lift the entire look of your face! Not only will applying powder give you cashmere-like skin but it’ll also help to set your foundation in place, meaning fewer touch-ups will be needed throughout the day!

MAGIC STEP 5: Build a Natural, Fluttery Eye Look
Once you’ve perfected your complexion, the next step is to create naturally brighter-looking eyes with my quick and simple eye makeup routine! First, apply my Brow Fix, a 24-hour clear brow gel that will set your brows all day with an invisible finish! Then, swipe my Matte Eyes to Mesmerise across your eyelids for an easy, flattering eye look, before complementing your look with lashings of my Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes! mascara for dreamy lashes with a 24-hour lift!
Tilbury Tip: If you want to dial up your eye makeup intensity, swap my Matte Eyes to Mesmerise for my Eyes to Mesmerise in one of my sophisticated shimmering hues! Then, apply my Rock ‘n’ Kohl eyeliner along your upper lash line for a one-slick line and dreamy definition!
MAGIC STEP 6: Create a Soft and Kissable Pout
When it comes to simple and natural everyday makeup, soft, kissable and natural-looking lips are key! For instant lip hydration, apply my award-winning Charlotte's Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir over your lips for a luscious-looking pout! Then, swipe on my ICONIC Pillow Talk Lipstick, a matte nude-pink lipstick, straight from the bullet for a dose of easy and natural looking lip colour.
Tilbury Tip: Looking to achieve a better and more precise lipstick application? Before you apply your lipstick, apply my Lip Cheat lip liner in Pillow Talk to define and shape the look of your lips!
MAGIC STEP 7: Add a Natural, Rosy-Cheeked Glow
Darlings, one of the last makeup products to apply in your easy everyday makeup ritual is blush! When you apply blush at the end of your makeup routine, you’ll get a better idea of how much colour you need! My Cheek to Chic two-tone pearlescent pink blusher will give you a DEWY glow fast, while my Pillow Talk Lip & Cheek Glow is a warm rosebud-pink cream blush and lip tint with a dreamy, creamy formula.
MAGIC STEP 8: Lock Your Look in Place
The final step in my simple everyday makeup routine is to spritz your face with my Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray! This oil-free, lightweight and hydrating setting spray will give your simple everyday makeup some serious staying power, setting your makeup in place for up to 16 hours*! It can also be used throughout the day to give your simple everyday makeup a MAGICAL refresh, meaning there’ll be fewer makeup touch-ups required!
Tilbury Tip: Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray can also be used to maximise the potential of your favourite eyeshadows! Simply spray it over your makeup brush before applying your eyeshadow to INTENSIFY its colour payoff!
