The Charlotte Tilbury line became available in the States at the beginning of this month so I was very excited to try her products since I’ve been hearing great things from British bloggers. This is a luxurious line so the price point is up there with Dior & Tom Ford makeup. As my first makeup purchase I decided to pick up the Filmstar Bronze and Glow cause I needed a nice bronzer and the highlighter was just a bonus and a nice addition to my collection.
Charlotte Tilbury’s website claims that this is the secret that silver screen sirens have kept to themselves for years. With Filmstar Bronze & Glow you can slim, sculpt, shorten, trim and highlight your features.
First lets talk about the packaging. Everyone who’s a sucker for packaging will want to own this beauty. For me it represents old Hollywood glamour, it is so retro. It’s very sturdy so it will be great for travel specially that it comes with the highlighter.
I love how the bronzer is a universal light to medium shade. In the pan it looks like it has some shimmer but when applied on the skin it’s the most natural bronzer i’ve ever seen, it mimics a sun-kissed look. Now I have medium skin tone and this works for me but if you’re on the tan side I would skip this cause it will not show up on your face.
For me it’s a very subtle bronzer and perfect for every day use. I just can’t get over how natural it looks.
The highlighter is a golden beige color. Not sure how this will work with light skin tones as it might be too gold. For me it’s perfect as I tent to go for more of a golden glow. It’s very pigmented so a little goes a long way but I think it looks very natural on my skin.
The final verdict is that I love this bronzer & highlighter duo. I’m very impressed with her line so far so I will definitely pick up more items.
Charlotte Tilbury’s line is available on Charlotte Tilbury, Nordstrom & Beautylish for $65.
She also has a video made about how to use the Filmstar Bronze & Glow Duo which I find very helpful specially for beginners. She actually has video tutorials for most of her products on her website so you can check out a product that you’re interested and see how it works.
