With the Luxury Palette in The Sophisticate, use the dreamy cream PRIME shade and sweep over your entire eyelid with the Eye Blender Brush*. Apply a little in the inner corner to open up your eyes and really make them pop!
Using the same brush, blend the taupe ENHANCE shade from the outer corner through the crease to create dimension and depth to your look.
Take your look up a notch by sweeping the ashy SMOKE shade in an exaggerated V-shape on the outer corner of your eye. Use an Eye Smudger Brush* to blend into your upper and lower lash-line for a more intense gaze.
Apply the sophisticated chocolate POP shade to the centre of your eyelid with your ring finger for an instant magic trick that takes your look from desk to disco!
Line and define your timeless eye look with a creamy dark brown eyeliner pencil. Draw The Classic Eyeliner in Classic Brown along your upper lash-line, extending up out at the outer corner to create a soft, subtle wing.
Curl your lashes and apply a sweeping layer of Full Fat Lashes Mascara in Glossy Black for a gorgeous supermodel flutter through your upper and lower lashes for a dreamy and defined gaze. Apply a second coat for extra impact and drama.
Sweep the contour shade from Filmstar Bronze & Glow* onto your temples, jawline and the hollows of your cheekbones for a gorgeous model-like facial architecture. Blend the highlight shade onto the tops of your cheekbones, the tip of the nose, and on your cupid’s bow to create a dipped in candlelight glow.
Use Charlotte’s lip icons to create the ultimate lip look for day or night. Line and define your lips with Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Pillow Talk. It’s the perfect barely-there nude pink lip liner for reshaping and resizing the look of your pout. Add the moisturising, light peach K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in Yes Honey for an irresistible nude lip. When you’re ready to dial it up, layer Lip Lustre Lip Gloss in High Society for a sheer berry lip gloss to create a luxe, 3-dimensional pout.
Tilbury Tip: For deeper complexions, Charlotte recommends Lip Cheat Liner in Pillow Talk Intense. It’s the iconic, nude-pink shade, but dialled up for a deeper, sweeter look! This tawny-brown liner looks extra dreamy on deeper skin tones. Layer Matte Revolution Lipstick in So 90s, a creamy, nude-brown lipstick, for a timelessly elegant soft, chocolate shade.
Sweep on the iconic, tawny rose shade of Charlotte’s Cheek to Chic Blusher in Sex on Fire for gorgeous-looking skin.
To apply, SWISH your brush around the outer shade, tap off any excess, and sweep the color from the apples of your cheeks up towards the top of your cheekbone. To add a POP of glow, dip your brush into the centre shade, and tap onto the apples of your cheeks. Swirl the two shades together for a dreamy dash of colour.
