Unless you are a big beauty enthusiast, chances are you're not too familiar with the name Charlotte Tilbury. Charlotte Tilbury is a U.K.-based makeup artist and has been working as a makeup artist for decades. She's worked on the faces of Kate Moss, Amal Clooney, Rihanna, Penelope Cruz, Jennifer Lopez, and Gisele–just to name a few. Her work has been featured on the cover of Vanity Fair, W Magazine, V Magazine and Vogue dozens of times. Chances are if you've ever passed by a news stand, you've seen her work. Charlotte Tilbury recently launched her award winning makeup line in the U.S. in August of 2014 and she herself was recently named Womens Wear Daily's makeup artist of the year!
Now you may be wondering why I'm telling you all about this person who you've possibly never heard of. Well, I'm telling you that because of this extremely talented woman, you too can look like J Lo and Kate Moss. Charlotte's makeup line was created to do just that. When creating her makeup line Charlotte kept the idea of bringing New York Fashion Week glamour to the department stores in a readily available, easy to use makeup range. Her goal was to make every woman, even those who just stick to mascara, be able to use makeup in a step by step, foolproof line.
For example, she created her entire range based on different looks. These looks incorporate specific eyeshadow palettes, lipsticks, lip liners, glosses, blushes and more. They all put together so that the work is already done for you. If you've ever had a hard time figuring out if a blush or lip color would go well with an eyeshadow, your worries are over because that's exactly what Charlotte put together for you.
The Dolce Vita
This look here is one that Charlotte is famous for: The Dolce Vita. Notice how she has a ready-made kit of products put together so that you can create the entire look yourself. And if that's not enough, she's gone the extra mile and created YouTube tutorial videos for each of her looks so you literally see the artist herself using the products. It's as easy as googling "Charlotte Tilbury Dolce Vita Tutorial," or just visiting her channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/ctilburymakeupIf this look is a little too intense for you that's fine. In her tutorials Charlotte tells you how to start from the most basic version of her look and build it all the way to a look thats ready for a night out.
