Celebrated runway make-up artist, face painter to the stars and founder of a global beauty brand, Charlotte Tilbury shares her A-list secrets
With more than 26 years in the business, Charlotte Tilbury’s talent for creating flawless make-up has made her one of the most revered make-up artists in the world. Known by her A-list clients as the ‘Queen of Glow’, what this woman can’t do with powders and pigments, frankly, isn’t worth bothering with. But, it’s not only her magic touch that makes her a force to be reckoned with. She is a savvy entrepreneur who taps into what women really want – which is why her make-up brand, launched in 2013, is a sell-out success. Here, she shares her beautiful world.
IN THE BEGINNING
“My love of beauty and ambition to become a make-up artist started when I was growing up surrounded by creatives in Ibiza – such a magical, bohemian place. I was 13 when I first realised the power of make-up. I started wearing mascara and, overnight, everyone aged from seven to 70 reacted to me in a different way. I was instantly more empowered, magnetic and mesmerising. Ever since then, I knew I wanted to create my own make-up brand.’
