“Good skin care can change your life.” These words are from Charlotte Tilbury, the makeup artist to Hollywood stars and pioneer of glow and rejuvenating makeup that has taken the world by storm. Kate Moss, Penélope Cruz, Lily James, Sienna Miller or Amal Clooney are some of the celebrities who trust the beauty products of the British, who this year celebrates the tenth anniversary of the launch of her own firm.
Recently, the brand organized the Magic Skin Summit in London, its first summit dedicated to skin care. An event in which Tilbury talked about the products that make up the perfect routine to transform the complexion and shine like a celebrity.
“You can have this routine that is not just for celebrities. I think everyone should have access to the best skin care routine. It revives your skin, it gives you confidence. Good care can change your skin,” she said. the make-up artist, who has more than thirty years of experience in the beauty sector.
As the charismatic makeup artist explained, skin care “has always been very important” for her, hence why she decided to create a moisturizing cream that has ended up becoming one of the most iconic products: the Magic Cream. Although she launched the cream in 2013, she started using it backstage at runway shows to transform models’ dehydrated and tired skin. It was quickly dubbed the “instant change miracle cream” and became a favorite of models and the red carpet. Ten years later, this cream is the best-selling in the world – a jar is sold every minute – and is used by both women and men, including George Clooney. The key to your success? Revive the skin in just 28 seconds.
“Magic Cream was the product that launched my brand. It is capable of transforming make-up. We have been looking for innovative products on the market for thirty years, we have never imitated. Each product is made hand in hand with my team of scientists,” he explained.
Tilbury calls herself a “thief of light.” At the summit she recounted how her father was her greatest inspiration when it came to playing with light. “I learned from him to play with the lights,” the make-up artist said emotionally in memory of her parent, who died last year. Thanks to this obsession with light, the British devised a skin care routine designed to have a prepared complexion before applying makeup, a routine that is inspired by those followed by Hollywood stars before big events. “Each product is very easy to use and very easy to understand,” she said.
The routine consists of six essential steps to have hydrated skin with a juicy, soft appearance and extraordinary light. The first step is double cleansing with the Goddess Cleansing Ritual, inspired by the Korean beauty ritual. A citrus oil cleanser and a purifying charcoal cleanser that remove makeup and impurities.
The second step is the toner, in this case, the Glow Toner. Formulated without acids and with niacinamide, this product helps to gently exfoliate the complexion, reduces the appearance of pores and increases skin hydration. It also enhances the natural glow of the complexion.
The next product in the routine is the Magic Serum Crystal Elixir, the great ally to show off rejuvenated and hydrated skin. This hydrating serum contains ingredients like the revolutionary REPLEXIUMâ„¢ for younger-looking skin, Golden Vitamin C to show off a glowing complexion, and polyglutamic acid for four times more moisturizing care than hyaluronic acid.
Next is the turn of the Cryo-Recovery serum, inspired by cryotherapy and which awakens the look thanks to its refreshing metal applicator. It is formulated with caffeine and other ingredients that illuminate the delicate skin around the eyes and reduce inflammation in the area. In addition, a smoother, softer, firmer and more illuminated contour is achieved.
The penultimate step is the iconic Magic Cream, which has 11 awards and contains eight science-based oils and ingredients, such as rosehip oil that promotes revitalized skin; hyaluronic acid to maintain hydration; vitamins C and E to brighten and even skin tone; aloe vera, with soothing properties, or camellia oil for a glowing complexion. Data proves that it is capable of increasing skin hydration by 226% in just one hour or 188% more firmness.
The last product in the routine is a key product for healthy skin: sunscreen. Charlotte Tilbury created the Invisible UV Flawless Poreless Primer SPF50, a primer that smoothes and blurs the appearance of the complexion, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes, and protects the skin.
The skin care routine can be complemented with other Charlotte Tilbury products that are also highly valued in the market, such as Collagen Superfusion Facial Oil, a facial oil for smoother, more luminous skin; the Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask that can be used up to three times and transforms the face in just 15 minutes, or the Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir, an oil to nourish the lips.
One of the latest innovations from Charlotte Tilbury is its tool to analyze the skin in less than a minute. Thanks to technology, the make-up artist’s team of professionals can evaluate the four main areas (dehydration, wrinkles, dark circles and pores) to find out what the skin is like and which products are the most appropriate to obtain a routine that cares for and hydrates the skin. according to the needs.
