Reviews mention

  • Luxe, glamorous packaging aesthetics
  • Blendable, silky complexion formulas
  • Long-wearing, effective setting spray
  • Universally flattering nude lip options
  • Inconsistent, underwhelming mascara performance
  • Divisive pillow talk shade match
  • Chunky wooden lip liner packaging
  • Leaky sponge-tip wand applicators

Charlotte Tilbury earns largely positive reviews for delivering a polished, glowy finish—especially via Pillow Talk lip products, Magic Cream, setting spray, and Hollywood Flawless Filter—yet the brand draws criticism for inconsistent hits (mascara, some eyeshadows), divisive Pillow Talk shades, and packaging quirks. Reviews also flag issues with scent, sticky or heavy textures on some skincare, shade range gaps, leaky wands, and a powder with poor blurring and an off-putting smell, making the brand compelling for glow-forward looks but not universally flawless.

  • I have only tried a few products from Charlotte Tilbury but have loved them all and will continue to try more. I used to have an eyeshadow palette that went on so easily and blended amazingly well. It was a neutral, four color palette that I used up. I have also loved the matte lipstick and the collection of lip liners. They go on so easily and the color options are perfect for every option, and last all day.

  • The formula is gorgeous—creamy, pigmented, and glides on smoothly without dragging. The shade range is elegant and versatile. But the wooden pencil design is frustrating: it splinters when sharpening and feels less luxe than the price suggests.

  • This rich moisturizer delivers a dewy finish and provides excellent hydration, making it a favorite for dry or mature skin. It contains ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, and shea butter, which help plump and smooth the skin. However, its thick texture may feel heavy for oily or acne-prone skin types. 🌟💧

  • I’ve been using it on and off for about a year. It’s a nice lightweight moisturizer suitable for normal to dry skin. Does a good job hydrating, but I found other products suit my skin better. Nice cream overall, but I probably won’t repurchase.

  • The Airbrush Brightening Flawless Finish powder is a bit steep on the cost but for setting your eye makeup, it's the best one I've tried yet. Comes in a compact which is travel friendly too! The powder itself looks white but goes on sheer and leaves a subtle matte finish. Only gripe is the cost.

  • Charlotte Tilbury offers a luxurious beauty experience with exquisite packaging, innovative formulations, legendary lipsticks, an effortless glow, iconic eyeshadow palettes, skincare synergy, and efficient customer service. The brand's red carpet-ready products make it a go-to for those seeking elegance and sophistication in their beauty routine. Charlotte Tilbury is more than a makeup brand; it's a transformative beauty experience. The dedication to quality, the artistry in packaging, and the innovation in formulations combine to create a beauty ritual that feels both indulgent and empowering. For those seeking a touch of luxury in their beauty routine, Charlotte Tilbury is the epitome of elegance and sophistication.

  • These are my favorite charlotte tilbury products! They have lasted me over a year and i use them slmost every single day! Would 100% recommend! The CT flawless filter leaves a flawless glowy finish and the setting powder makes my concealer last all day!

  • The pillowtalk lipliner feels so amazing. It lasts a long time and is a great addition to your lip product whether it be gloss or lipstick or balm. The intense one is a beautiful deep berry and goes really well with any nude or pink ! It’s my favorite!!

  • Charlotte Tilbury is the epitome of modern luxury in makeup. Every product is designed to enhance your natural beauty with that signature “Tilbury glow” — radiant, effortless, and red-carpet ready. ✨✨✨

  • The Holy Grail of Setting Sprays : Charlotte Tilbury Is Worth Every Penny!!! I have to gush about the Charlotte Tilbury setting spray, it’s seriously the best thing to happen to my makeup routine, second only to Jollof rice (and trust me, that’s saying a lot) This spray keeps my makeup on lock all day no touch-ups needed. The dewy glow it gives is unreal, like I’m obsessed. My roommate put me on to this gem, and I’m forever grateful. Worth every penny, and honestly, I can’t imagine life without it!

  • I love how luxurious the packaging is! Charlotte's Magic Water Cream helps provide my skin with long-lasting hydration. It absorbs in my skin slowly rather than quickly, and my skin always feels soft and smooth after using it. My pores do not appear as large as before.

  • Really a fan of this setting spray and one of the lip liners!! Stays in place and safe for sensitive skin

  • THIS IS MY FAVOURITE BRAND OF ALL TIME. I OWN EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT THEY MAKE. BUY EVERYTHING IT IS AMAZING.

  • This brand is not cruelty free so I would not buy anything from them. I have heard good times about this brand though in regards to quality

  • Every product is the best product ever. Lip liner, magic cream, lipstick, flawless foundation... Best cosmetic brand on earth. Wish this was promoted (please send me free stuff)

  • I have used a bunch of their products, specially love the lipsticks! The Pillow Talk lipstick in medium is my go to lipstick. The perfect pinky brown nude for my dusky, Indian skin tone. Love the magic cream too, it's soft and hydrates my skin quickly! Love it as a base before my foundations.

  • (Only on the Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder) I bought the powder compact after some research online, seeing how great the reviews were. I liked the small and thin size of the compact. Unfortunately, the smell of the powder is terrible. The coverage/blurring is not as effective as I would like either. This is my first Charlotte Tilbury product and I probably should've started with other standard colour cosmetics.

  • Pros: The skincare is worth the hype. I love the serum and the Magic Cream. While expensive, I don't mind paying for quality. The eyeshadows are highly pigmented. Cons: I'm still debating why there is SO much hype around the makeup products. The regular shade of Pillow Talk , not the medium or intense, is not flattering on me. Social media would say that the Pillow Talk lip products are flattering on everyone. Well, maybe I'm the only person on the planet that it just so happens, can't wear the color, Pillow Talk. I mean, anything is possible right? I would absolutely use the skincare however I don't understand all of the hype surrounding this brand.

  • I love Charlotte Tillbury products. I am a total sucker for any of the pillow talk products and I also love the wedding bells lipstick. I wore wedding bells for my wedding, too! I really do feel like pillow talk products look great on everyone, which is kind of their claim to fame. I especially love the lip liner, but I really like the lipstick, eyeshadow, and eyeliner as well. The setting spray is also wonderful and keeps my makeup on for much longer than it would stay otherwise! And it smells great :)
