Whenever I’m able to attend a Charlotte Tilbury Master Class, I sign up immediately. I took her holiday class recently, and I’m sharing what I learned.
Yes, everything is “MAGICAL, darling!” Yes, everyone is “obsessed” with everything and it’s a giant sales pitch for the next, new product launch. But I also learn something every time, and the majority of my makeup wardrobe comes from the brand because not only do the products work, they are incredibly well-made.
Before and After the Master Class
Below, I have a whole video talking you through the class, but I want to share my five biggest takeaways right now. Also, you can shop the products I used HERE.
If you’re new to the CT Universe, you might not be familiar with her bronzer placement technique: Charlotte implores us all to suck in our cheeks, then “follow the hollow” and swirl bronzer up and back
It’s imperative to take your time - I get sucked into the pressure to create “quick and easy makeup” routines, but as Sophia Tilbury took over five minutes to apply lip liner, I was reminded that good makeup takes time…
…and good makeup must have good canvas; one of the reasons the Charlotte Tilbury brand offers skincare is because it’s meant to properly prep the skin for makeup, and it truly , truly makes the biggest difference
While I love my Urban Decay All-Nighter Setting Spray, some say it’s not great for oily skin (I’m super dry) - according to Team Tilbury, her setting spray works for all skin types
Although I’m not a fan of the CT Push Up Lashes mascara (which was used in the class), I was intrigued by her “load and comb” technique if you don’t want to use eyeliner or are in a hurry: gently press the mascara wand into the base of your lashes first, then go back through to comb the mascara through lashes - you can see in my before-and-after picture above how it very subtly defines the lash line
Here’s the video, and don’t forget you can find any of the products mentioned HERE!
