Charlotte Tilbury released four limited edition sets called the Quick N Easy 5 Minute Makeup Sets. As the name applies, these sets are designed to help you create very easy natural looks that you can create in under 5 minutes. They are good for the women on-the-go and for people who prefer their makeup on the natural side.
I think these sets are a great idea. Especially for people who haven’t tried the brand and don’t know where to start. Her line is pretty big and it can get a little overwhelming when you try to pick products to try, so these sets come in handy. When you break down the prices of every product, it ends up being less expensive than buying the products separately. In each set you also get some minis which are a nice way to test out a product.
There are four sets in the line and they all create different makeup looks. From easy smoky eyes to natural every day looks, the sets cover looks that I would actually wear.
First there is the Quick N Easy Red Carpet Party Look. It comes with: Mini Wonderglow (15 mil), Rock N’ Kohl Eye Liner in Barbarella Brown, Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Kiss N’ Tell and Matte Revolution Lipstick in Red Carpet Red.
Charlotte Tilbury’s Wonderglow is an illuminating primer that helps create soft focus effect on your skin and also adds a beautiful golden glow. It’s a really nice primer that I enjoy using as a primer before my foundation. I also sometimes mix a drop or two with my foundation to add an all over glow to the skin.
The Rock N’ Kohl Eye Liners are of great quality. They are creamy, glide without skipping and also don’t smudge. Same goes for the Lip Cheat Lip Liners, they are one of my favorite lip liners to use.
As for the Matte Revolution Lipsticks, they have one of the most comfortable matte formula I’ve tried. I have a lot of shades from that line and they’re all wonderful.

The Quick N’ Easy Natural Glowing Look contains: Mini Wonderglow (15 mil), Mini Legendary Lashes Mascara, Colour Chameleon in Amber Haze, Matte Revolution Lipstick in Very Victoria and Beach Stick in Moon Beach.
This set comes with three products that are my favorite. Very Victoria is one of my favorite nudes to wear on daily basis. It’s a mid tone nude with beige and brown undertones and a matte finish. The Colour Chameleon in Amber Haze is a cream eyeshadow in a stick form. Charlotte Tilbury classifies these by eye color and Amber Haze is meant for brown eyes. It’s a beautiful bronze shade with gold sparkles. These blend really well on the eyes and stay put without creasing all day.
The Beach Sticks from Charlotte Tilbury are a multi-purpose cream product. You can use them both on the cheeks and lips and just use your fingers for blending. Moon Beach is a beautiful peachy pink shade with golden shimmer. It gives a beautiful glow on the cheeks without any noticeable shimmer.

The Quick N’ Easy Smokey Eye Evening Look is an all in one makeup kit for creating quick 5 minute sexy smokey eyes. It’s paired with a beautiful peachy nude lipstick in Penelope Pink, part of the K.I.S.S.I.N.G lipstick line.
Other items in the set are a Colour Chameleon in Black Diamond, Rock N’ Kohl Eye Liner in Bedroom Black and Mini Legendary Lashes Mascara.

And lastly, the Quick N’ Easy Daytime Chic Look comes with a Mini Wanderglow (15 mil), Mini Legendary Lashes Mascara, Classic Eyeliner in Audrey and Beach Stick in Formentera. It’s a set for creating natural minimal makeup. The “no makeup, makeup look” done in less than 5 minutes with only four products.

All four sets create quick and easy 5 minute makeup looks. They contain multipurpose products that you can apply with your fingers so they make great travel companions. I tested all four sets and it really took me about 5 minutes to create a look. If you don’t spend a lot of time on your base, you can definitely achieve a look in the 5 minute time frame.
I’m a big fan of Charlotte Tilbury and these sets are no exception. I think they are curated with a lot of thought and in mind of accentuating your natural beauty. You also save some money on each set (priced $75 each) which is almost the price of two products if you buy them separately.
