I Tried Charlotte Tilbury’s Bestsellers & Here’s What’s Worth It


As I mentioned, I’m not really a foundation person (I prefer tinted moisturisers, which don’t cover my freckles and let my skin’s natural dewiness shine through). It takes a lot to win me over and the Airbrush Flawless Foundation is almost there. It has a matte finish but I’m glad to say it never makes me look or feel cakey.

They’re even taking off on TikTok, with users showing off their styling of the new footwear find in videos such as this one, pairing them with wide-legs jeans and an oversized sweatshirt, and this one, completing the look with black trousers, a striped T-shirt and beige blazer.  read more
