Charlotte tilbury gift voucher- what to buy?

I’ve been given a £50 charlotte tilbury gift voucher for my birthday, lucky me! I have never used anything of hers before so looking for recommendations please? I am looking at the Exagger-eyes sticks as I don’t have a lot of time to spend doing makeup on a morning so that looks easy to use, but open to recommendations?

No particular skin concerns nor do I have a particular regime or regular brand I use. Normally buy whatever moisturiser is on offer in sainers 🙈

Im 44 and ny skin is yellow rather than pink undertoned I would say.

Go to the counter and have a chat , in my experience although was several years ago , they are one of the ‘hard sell’ beauty houses so have in mind how much over the voucher you want to spend if any , and I’d also wait till Black Friday next month if you can as bound to be a discount of some sort .

100% flawless filter. It makes my skin so dewy and smoothes over any blemishes/redness without actually making me look too made up. It’s my ride or die, and I also get compliments on my skin when I’m wearing it.
Im not a skin regime person either and just use big standard Superdrug moisturiser- but FF is my splurge.

I’m in my 60’s and lost loads of weight last year and have started buying make up again. I recommend going to a counter and getting a make over. (Not on a busy Saturday though!) See what they recommend and have a play with the products.

I don’t buy anything until I’m sure the product doesn’t cause irritation. I had a bad experience with benefit brand mascara!

Also, some eye shadows can crease and flake after a few hours so you need to check how well it lasts on your skin as we’re all different.

I love their stick foundation as it’s a light coverage that looks dewy on my skin. I also have their powder and bronzer.

Have fun playing.
