What To Expect From Charlotte Tilbury's Black Friday Extravaganza
No-one does party-season glamour quite like Charlotte Tilbury, and this year we're going all out: we're talking smoky eyes, high-shine glossy lips, extra-long lashes and as much glow as we can feasibly layer upon one face.
With the Black Friday sales fast approaching, we're getting particularly excited for all those beauty deals. The queen of Hollywood makeup can always be relied on to treat us to unmissable deals, from flash discounts to brilliant bundles.
What Is The Charlotte Tilbury Black Friday Sale?
If you've already got your shopping list sorted, you're in luck: there's merely weeks to wait, and Tilbury is famous for delivering some of the best beauty reductions out there. Last year, the brand dropped a collection of make-up and skincare bundles on-site, all with up to a generous 30% off the usual price.
Then, there was the Mystery Makeup Stocking: a crimson and gold stocking filled with seven full-size, classic makeup heroes, including four from the iconic Pillow Talk range. Last year's collection was worth £196, but came in at half that price over the weekend.
When Is The Charlotte Tilbury Black Friday Sale?
Black Friday always falls on the last Friday of November, which this year is the 29th. But being the life of the party, Charlotte usually drops her deals a little early, so keep an eye out for offers rolling in from around November 25.
What To Buy In The Charlotte Tilbury Black Friday Sale?
You don't need us to tell you that Black Friday is the best time of the year to bag those rarely-on-sale cream bronzers, nude lipsticks and dewy highlighters you really want, and will use right to the very end. A dramatic purple lipstick is fun for a party, but classic glow-givers are forever.
Not sure where to start? Here, see the beauty team's favourite ever Charlotte Tilbury products, from old classics to buzzy new launches.
The Very Best Charlotte Tilbury Products To Bookmark Before Black Friday
Pillow Talk Lipstick
Nothing beats Pillow Talk – the lipstick shade is so popular, it spawned an entire collection of products. This pinkish neutral hue famously looks so good on everyone, one sells every two minutes. Amal Clooney even wore it on her wedding day. Need we say more?
Beauty Light Wand Highlighter
The original glow-giver, Tilbury's Beauty Light Wand has graced so many A-list faces, we've lost count. Not just good for the red carpet, it’s perfect for spotlighting cheekbones without making you look like you've soaked yourself in glitter. Think: illuminated, dewy highlights, not disco-ball sparkle. There's a shade to please anyone, but Pinkgasm is the one going viral for making every skin tone look spectacular.
Beautiful Skin Foundation
Lighter than the original Airbrush Flawless foundation, Beautiful Skin is your short-cut to radiant, unified skin. Really, it strikes the perfect balance between coverage and glow, meaning thread veins and blemishes are well and truly covered, but there's no matt powdery residue left lingering in your pores.
Unsurprisingly, this one's a hit among the entire beauty team, boasting rave reviews like this: “Combining the glow of a tinted moisturiser with the confidence boost of a concealer, it evens out a fussy complexion and works brilliantly under the eyes too.” Trust us, try it.
Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer
You just can't beat a creamy, easy-to-blend bronzer for bringing a bit of life to winter skin. Tilbury's Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer is the the fastest way to achieve a healthy-looking complexion and mimic that holiday tan we're still mourning the loss of. Simply fluff onto cheeks with a dense brush and wait for the compliments to roll in. You can thank us later.
Hollywood Flawless Filter
Radiant skin is a Hollywood prerequisite, so it's no surprise that Charlotte Tilbury – the red carpet queen – has created one of the best glow-givers in beauty history. Designed to be worn however you wish (under make-up, mixed into foundation, or dotted atop cheekbones), Hollywood Flawless Filter is the only skin enhancer you'll ever need. Lightweight and wearable, the silky texture is easy to blend out with a sponge or brush and comes in 12 shades, so there's bound to be one that suits you.
According to ELLE's beauty director Katy Young, adding it to your basket is a no-brainer. “Under, over or blended with foundation, this easy-to-use silky serum leaves skin just the right side of glossy, rather than tin-man bright," she says. "It’s also much more forgiving than other more metallic drops which can act like a spotlight to show up blemishes and wrinkles. I’ve yet to meet a beauty editor that doesn’t rave about it.”
Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray
Is there anything more frustrating than makeup that doesn't stay all day? Charlotte Tilbury has a solution – the immovable Flawless Setting Spray, which we reckon is the sleeper hit of the whole line. The lightest of light mists, this oil-free formula settles gently on top of makeup before drying down and setting everything in place.
While we're obsessed with Tilbury's innovative new launches that are constantly flooding our TikTok feed, our heart still belongs to those classic powder palettes that have been part of the brand since its inception. At the very top of our list this year is the Hollywood Blush Glow & Glide Palette which features a rosy-pink blush and pearlescent pink highlighter that can be swept over cheeks with a fluffy brush for an instant lift.
Lastly, we can't forget the iconic Filmstar Bronze & Glow contour palette. Basically a cheat sheet for sculpted cheekbones à la Bella Hadid, it has a warm, powder bronzer on one side and glowy highlighter on the other. It's the one that started our obsession, and has remained firmly in our kits for years.
