Beauty Product Reviews

My all time favorite product from this brand

I buy a lot of Charlotte Tilbury products and this one is my absolute favorite. This powder makes your skin look amazing and covers all flaws that you have. It filters the skin and blurs any issues that you have. My only problem with this particular product is the shade range. I purchased the darkest color they offer but I can only use it under my eyes as a highlight because it's too light for my entire face. They need far more shades, us darskinned girls are basically forgotten. If they come out with more shades, I would literally buy this all the time because the product is so good. I hate that they don't have a shade dark enough for me to actually wear on my entire face. With that being said this is literally the best formula I have ever seen and I hope they expand on this and offer more shades so that I can really use this and take advantage of how amazing it is.

This foundation is transformative

I really enjoy this particular foundation because it gives the skin a glow and it really does look airbrushed. If you are the type of person who likes a simple foundation that slightly enhances the skin but does not transform your face, then this one is not for you. This is transformative and it does make you look better than you actually look lol. So personal preference is really going to matter with this one but it's worth the coins. My only problem with this foundation is that I feel like they should offer more shades, it's kind of hard to color match this one. Especially for those of us with darker skin, this one needs more ranges. I had to buy multiple shades and kind of make my own match. That is a big problem with this brand as a whole in my opinion. I feel like the products are amazing so I buy this brand a lot but as a darker skin person I have to make it work. It's not like Fenty where I have multiple choices that could work for me. I have to force this one to work for me and the only reason I do is because it's really good quality makeup. I would ask the brand to please make a better attempt when it comes to your darker Shades, we need a lot more choices than what you currently offer. I think this brand needs to hire someone who understands skin of color because they would understand the shade ranges we need. With that being said, this foundation makes your skin look flawless and that for me is a great thing. This needs to be a part of your collection, for the days you want to look FLAWLESS AS BEYONCE PUTS IT.

It looks amazing under makeup

I think this moisturizer is the kind that looks amazing under makeup. I think that is where this brand shines. It's the type of skincare that works good for people who wear makeup. Now if you are a person who does not wear makeup and it's all about the actual skincare itself, you may not like this one. For one thing this moisturizer kind of smells like perfume. This is the kind of product that makes you feel luxurious. But if you have sensitive skin that is very reactive, I am not sure this is going to work for you. I feel like fragrance in skin care has been villainized and it's actually not that bad if it's a small amount and you do not have sensitive skin. Most of us know our skin especially if you try different things. My opinion on this particular moisturizer is that it feels very hydrating and it works really well under makeup. If you do not have reactive skin you are going to be able to enjoy this one. With that being said I would not recommend this to someone with sensitive skin because it is very fragrant which means it could cause irritation for some people. I personally enjoy the texture because it feels like a cloud but I noticed I only wear it under makeup. I don't turn to this moisturizer on a daily basis, personally. I think the reason is when you use this it's like an experience and it's very sensorial and that can be too much for me on a regular basis. So this is the kind of moisturizer where personal preference is going to really matter. Overall it is worth the cost because it literally looks absolutely stunning under my makeup and that is great.

A very simple foundation

If you like transformative foundation, then this is not the one for you. However. if you like a better than skin look, you're going to absolutely love this Foundation. This foundation is the type that you would wear to work at an office job. It provides a simple everyday look. There wasn't anything amazing about this foundation. It's a solid foundation but if I'm honest I have paid less for better. I have owned numerous foundations so I understand really good quality. It's a solid foundation with decent coverage. It does exactly what it advertises, it looks like skin. If you are the kind of person who wants a simple Foundation that looks just like your skin and it's not obvious you're wearing makeup, then you are going to absolutely love this. What I've learned about myself is that I actually prefer a foundation that is a little more transformative. I realize I would like this one more if it gave more of a fresh faced look. It's just a bit too simple for me, but I think for someone who loves that kind of look, this would be five stars. I have to give this Foundation credit, it literally does look extremely natural and that is what it promises.

For reference, I am a black female with dark skin. This highlighter shows on my skin beautifully. The reason that I like this one so much is because of the way it looks on the skin. It looks like it melted into your skin, it's smooth and it's not glittery. It's easy to apply and you are in full control because this is the type of highlighter you can build up or down. If you just want a light glow when you turn your head you can achieve that look. If you want to look like you're shining to the Gods, you can achieve that look as well. I hate highlighters that look like someone just threw some glitter on the side of their face. I like a glow from within look and that is the best way to describe this one. It is now my favorite highlighter that I own and I plan to buy more. I would love to have this one in a variety of colors.
