Hi all, I'm booked in for a makeover soon at Charlotte Tilbury and will probably treat myself to a few items. I wondered what items others rate please? Thanks

I love the healthy glow tinted moisturiser and their airbrush bronzer.

I am going to be honest and possibly not what you want to hear but I no longer buy CT. The quality is just not there. The packaging is lovely though. Personally speaking I think you’d be better off going to a recommended independent make up artist who has lots of products. You never know some might be CT but other products may suit you better.

If backed into a corner the only thing I’d rebuy is the compact powder. I’d stay well clear of the mascara, heavy foundation and the lipsticks.

@Floam6 I love CT! I have tried many products over the years and this is by far my favourite brand. The colour Pillow talk is my absolute fav! It seems to suit all skin and hair colours, you just can't go wrong with it. I don't wear a lot of makeup but the push up lashes mascara is the best I have ever used, matte pillow talk lipstick lasts ages and such a lovely colour and the foundations are amazing. They have a choice of a full coverage or sheer coverage. There are a few products I am still yet to try out but I am never disappointed.

Beautiful skin foundation. It's not heavy at all and is the only foundation I've found matches my skin tone. I like the lipsticks too.

I agree. I buy a lot of makeup and wouldn’t repeat anything I’ve got from CT apart from the setting spray. The packaging is lovely but tbh I think that’s what you’re paying for.
it’s funny because in the wild I don’t know anyone who has bought CT and particularly liked any of it.

The only thing I repurchased but I think it's now discontinued was a beach stick which was lovely. I've tried most of her products and don't rate them at all, especially the lipsticks.

The beach stick was a multi style and a lovely shade.

Lip Cheat lip pencil is great - I have one in Pillow Talk and one in Icon Baby. Lasts for ages on. You do need to buy the CT pencil sharpener though, as regular pencil sharpeners break the tip off. I do like the Pillow Talk lipstick - smells great, lovely texture - but generally stick with the pencil these days because I prefer to shape my lip-line a bit more.

Tried the Rock and Kohl eye liner pencil, because reviewers wrote it went on and stuck. Not on me, baby! ended up throwing it out.

I agree with this. I have purchased her lipsticks, which I think are a weird, solid texture, and her colour chameleon eye crayons. The eye crayons are difficult to use and fade quickly. I think you'd get better products for half the price elsewhere.

CT’s marketing is amazing. Sadly, imo, the products don’t match up. I have never bought anything a second time. CT is very overhyped.

I love Pillow Talk lipstick and lip pencil. I also use the Exager-eyes eyeshadow quad for a nude smoky eye.

I’m not so much a fan of the bronzing powder as it comes off too dark in the winter and too warm when I’m tanned in the summer. I am very pale though.
