If there's one woman who knows how to bottle Hollywood magic, it's Charlotte Tilbury. The legendary makeup artist, whose signature glow has graced red carpets, royal events, and fashion shows, is the mastermind behind some of the most iconic beauty looks of our time. Her A-list clientele reads like a who's who of modern glamour: think Kate Moss, Kim Kardashian, Salma Hayek, Zhao Lusi, and the ever-effortless George and Amal Clooney. In this exclusive interview, the beauty mogul herself pulls back the velvet curtain, revealing the artistry, intuition and a dash of fairy dust that fuel her brand's global allure.

L'OFFICIEL: What was your first memory or encounter with the world of beauty and makeup?

CHARLOTTE TILBURY: So when I started boarding school at the age of 13, instead of sweets, a beauty editor gave me a box of makeup. That was when I realised I wanted to be a makeup artist. So, I did, and I have always had the vision that one day I will eventually start my own makeup brand.

LO: What was your journey as a makeup artist like, and how did it lead you to launch your own brand?
