Any Charlotte Tilbury users out there? If so, what do you think of her cosmetics? I am tempted to try her Magic foundation.

Oh, I would love to know this too! Thanks for starting this thread ElvisShops. I'm super interested in the eyeshadow quads!

I received a couple of C. Tilbury samples but haven't tried them yet. So far with most beauty items it's like your tried one and you tried them all

I use the night cream and the day moisterizer. I also use her shadow liner sticks. I also have several of her lipsticks. Love her products.

I really like her blushes eye shadows and highlight contour pallet

Magic foundation. I had to buy 2 shades to get the right shad

for my skin. There is a big difference between shade 2 and 3. I mix them. I have fairly light neutral skin tone. I would say the foundation is medium coverage but can build to full easy. Leaves a semi matte look

It is a really nice foundation but isn't my holy grail of foundations

Everyones skin is different. I would say try it, it is a nice one

I use her magic cream (it's nice and rich, but not goopy) and love her eyeliners (they stay put).

I've really wanted to try this line and picked up a pallete from Nordstrom with a couple of blushes, bronzer, highlighter and eyeshadows. I really like them a lot. I need to try to find a new foundatio so really want to give this a try but not sure which color to get.

i use her magic cream also and love it! it's not greasy and you can wear it by itself or under foundation. it is not a regular moisturiser.

I bought a lipstick (stoned rose) and lip cheat (pillow talk) which I love. The lipstick is creamy but staying power is good. The eye crayon did not have staying power despite using MAC painterly. The setting powder is very nice.

They have a new mascara that's supposed to be great. Anyone tried it?

Thanks for the responses. I am very interested in the Magic foundation. I don't know if I would be a fair 1 or fair 2. I am usually the lightest shade available. However, I saw a person apply fair 3 (I think) on YouTube, and the foundation was much lighter than she was. Also, I think she applied it a bit heavy.

I recently started using it (Legendary Lashes) and it's almost perfect. It is the best I've ever used for giving length and volume. I also don't need to use a lash curler with it and my lashes are short and pretty straight. It is also easy to remove.

The only problem I've had with it is that by the end of the day I've been finding a few smudges high up on my upper lid. I have never had that happen with any other mascara before. My guess is that it's happening because it makes my lashes longer than any other mascara I've used before and now they're touching the skin above my eye and smudging.

I only notice this problem late in the day so it's not a big deal, but it's something to be aware of especially if you have hooded eyes. Also, it's pricey at $32. Her site does offer free shipping and free samples so that makes the price a little more palatable.

MeemaJoan,

Can you please describe Stoned Rose lipstick? I have been looking to try this line, and was looking at the lipsticks, and I actually had this one in my cart! My coloring is warm tan, with med brown hair, so just curious..Thanks so much!

@ladyroxanne, do you need to use a primer, too?

I have it on today. I'm finding I have racoon eyes on my lower lashes. It seems to smudge quite a bit. It does lengthen very nicely though. Don't think I'll repurchase because of the smudging.

I own just about every product she makes. I fell in love with it when family brought items back from the UK to me and when it became available in the US, I was able to add to my collection.

It's better to say what DOESN'T work because only a few things are fails (for me):

*Miracle Cream: this has a chemical spf and burns my skin. It reeks of sunscreen. It would be AMAZING without the spf but sadly, that's what she chose to do so... can't use it.

*Wonder Foundation: GORGEOUS on the skin but alas, she also put chemical spf in this, so.. allergic reaction once again (her Magic Foundation has a PHYSICAL spf; go figure).

That's it!!! No complaints on ANYTHING else because it's all fantastic. Now, some of the shades may not work for me, but the QUALITY is there... OMG is it.

i'm sorry i can't help you there. i don't use a primer.

@soonersis: I love it. It's VERY black. It can smudge in the heat/sweat but I put a coat of something else over it that doesn't smudge and no problems. It makes your lashes look like false ones... really great!

@ElvisShops: I'm NW10 and the Fair 1 works but it's a tad too yellow/dark. It does oxidize. The next shade up is a pinker base but it's MUCH darker for going up only one shade. Call the Charlotte Tilbury counter at Nordstrom Tysons Corner VA and ask for Runa; ask her to send you a selection of the lightest shades. The Wonder Foundation leaves a beautiful finish as well; she can send you samples of those too.
