Charlotte Tilbury is definitely a name you've probably all heard before. Make up artist of 20 years and blogger, she recently released her own Collection of beauty marvels and of course I couldn't resist trying something.
From eyeshadow to bronzer charlotte has it covered and after a long browse I eventually opted for one of her eyeshadow pencils. There are two shades created for every eye colour, one for day and one for night. Having brown eyes I opted for dark pearl, a beautiful taupe with a subtle shimmer.
The formula is a cream shadow that is gorgeously soft. As charlotte says on her website, the eye shadows do dry quickly so you have to work fast and I find that sometimes this stops them from being applied evenly but it does mean they are super long lasting. I prefer to apply it to my lids in the crease when I'm already wearing a brown shadow then use a blending brush to smudge it out and then add a little bit under my lower lash line for an easy peasey smokey eye. The staying power of this is also amazing. After I'd swatched away on my arm I tried to rub it off and it wouldn't budge and it wears the same on my eyes too - no smudging, fading or creasing.
The only real downside is that they have to be sharpened and I would prefer something that twists up. I'm not a fan of sharpening products full stop and sharpening something that cost £19 feels a little wasteful as you lose product each time.
What are your favourite products from Charlotte's collection?
