We Tried Everything From Charlotte Tilbury, and Here’s What’s Worth the Hype

Tiktokers may just be discovering the best Charlotte Tilbury products—try to find a tutorial without one, we dare you—but in the beauty world, the brand is the stuff of legend. For starters, Charlotte Tilbury herself is the iconic makeup artist responsible for the looks of countless celebrities (she even did Amal Clooney’s wedding-day makeup) and editorials. She’s well-known in the industry for sleeping in a full-on smoky eye (legend has it her husband has never seen her without makeup on), and in 2013 she launched her namesake beauty line in order to share some of her signature bombshell glam with the world.

Like Tilbury’s personal makeup style, the line focuses heavily on ‘90s-inspired smoky eyes, and plush lips, and the brand’s glowing skin essentials having been trending on TikTok for months (the Light Wands are still out of stock everywhere after going viral in April). 

Chances are if you ask any makeup lover what to buy from the line, they’ll point you in the direction of one of its cult products, such as the universally flattering Pillow Talk Lipstick or Filmstar Bronze & Glow for a natural contour. But the rest of the collection is just as strong. However, with products this luxe, you want to be sure you’re getting the right fit for you, so the line can be a little intimidating. Fear not, as we’ve been testing the collection since it’s inception, and know what’s worth the investment. Scroll on for the best Charlotte Tilbury products our editors can’t live without.
