It’s no secret that Charlotte Tilbury has as many celebrity friends as she does Pillow Talk lipsticks, but what is the one product they ask for the most? Head of beauty Zoe asks the beauty mogul the question
It’s not every day you get to sit down with Charlotte Tilbury and have a casual chat about Kate Moss’ face, Amal Clooney’s lips and Jourdan Dunn’s eyes, but sit down with her I did. Virtually though, of course. In an exclusive chat to unveil her Christmas gifting range for 2024, Charlotte tells us this year her festive offers are bigger and better than ever.
“It’s a love-inspired collection of new beauty innovations, limited-edition legendary icons, best sellers across makeup, skincare and – for the very first time – fragrance! There are trinkets, treats and treasures for everyone– it’s guaranteed gifting happiness!” she tells us.
Online now and available to shop via her Magic Gifting Universe, there are gifts for all budgets and wants, but the question I desperately want to know? Of all the Christmas gifting products on offer (and there are plenty), what’s the one her A-list pals ask to have delivered to their doors?
“The thing that everyone waits all year for is the advent calendar. It’s what they all ask me for, and their kids ask me for. It’s between that and the Magic Cream set, which they all want as well,” Charlotte tells me.
If you haven’t heard of her advent calendar, it’s always packed full of best-sellers and beauty essentials– and 2024’s offering gives an incredible £72 saving. Costing £170 here (but worth £243), the jewellery box-like creation has everything from full-size Beauty Light Wands to a mini Magic Cream. As for the Magic Cream Heroes gift set, you can shop that for £95 here (worth £128).
What else do her celeb muses ask for top-ups of the most?
I got every Charlotte Tilbury Christmas beauty set on offer and these 5 are the best value ones
“Kate Moss said the vintage-looking Pop Shots are the most beautiful packaging she’s ever seen” Charlotte divulges. “She also really loves Pillow Talk products. She uses the lip liner and the lipstick every day. She just wants easy, glowing skin that doesn’t really look like it has anything on it, and make-up she can do with her fingers– really super easy.”
Charlotte continues: “Jourdan Dunn is obsessed with the 9-shade Pillow Talk Palette. The way the formula behaves, it has a matte formula with crystals, and the matte feels like suede. Amal wore it for Venice Film Festival, and some of the shades also really make Kate’s green eyes pop.”
As for Sienna Miller? “She loves the Matte Beauty Light Wands, and so does Kate. They use it on their lips and cheeks,” Charlotte says. If you’re keen to shop them for yourself, you can get two wands (a glow-boosting one and a matte blusher) for £57 here.
I’ll be adding all of the above to my shopping basket, then!
