Charlotte Tilbury fans are racing to the brand’s website to stock up their beauty cabinets as it has launched an up to 45% off summer sale, with incredible reductions on some of its best-sellers and sets. From its Magic Water Cream duo – now £54 for two – to its Hollywood Lips Tricks, £44 from £80, shoppers can get their hands on Charlotte Tilbury goodies for a fraction of what they usually cost – but for a limited time only.

One particular set that has left fans looking ‘younger’ and enables shoppers to snag the brand’s famous and celebrity-endorsed foundations for £19.50 a pop is its Hollywood Flawless Filter and Airbrush Flawless Foundation Duo – the set costing £39.

Reduced from £79, the set includes – as the name suggests – the brand’s Hollywood Flawless Filter and Airbrush Flawless Foundation, which respectively cost £39 if buying them individually.

Speaking about the glow-boosting and blemish-busting set, Charlotte Tilbury explains: “Darlings, it doesn’t get better than this! Save a magical 50%* on two of my globally adored complexion icons! If you are dreaming of glowing, airbrushed-looking skin that makes you feel Hollywood Flawless, shop my kit and unlock the makeup base of your dreams!”

Pairing the two together, Charlotte explains, delivers a serious glow without compromising on coverage as the Flawless Filter smooths, blurs and illuminates the look of skin, while the Airbrush Foundation gives full coverage powered by REPLEXIUM™ to reduce the appearance of wrinkles over time. She said: “The radiant, flawless-looking powers of Hollywood Flawless Filter give my full-coverage matte foundation the most mesmerising glow, manipulating the finish without compromising on coverage.”

Beauty fans have not only been loving the Flawless Filter’s airbrushing qualities but some shoppers have even said that it’s made them look younger. One shopper raved on Space NK, where the foundation can be purchased separately: “My daughter recommended this one and I’m so glad she did. It’s lovely. I’m nearly 60 and this takes years off me. I’ve had lots of compliments that look younger and fresher which I put down to this foundation. This is worth every penny and will be my go to from now on. Thank you Charlotte! x”

Another raved: “Everyone needs this item in their make-up bag! This product is amazing! I read the reviews before purchasing and wondered if it was as great as others had stated. Wow! I was so wrong… Words can’t describe how great this item is! It looks great on its own, under make up and mixed with my normal foundation. I have received compliments everyday since wearing. My skin looks younger and fresher! I will never be without this item from now on!”

Someone else added: “This stuff is basically a real-life Instagram filter. It gives your skin the most gorgeous, soft-focus glow without being heavy or sparkly. You can wear it alone for that “your skin but glowier” look, mix it with foundation, or dab it on top as a highlighter—super versatile. It blurs, brightens, and just makes you look fresh.”

While for some people, the product was a little bit disappointing, with one shopper stating: “I have a love hate relationship with this. Sometimes, on a perfect day when the stars and the moon align, this makes my face look amazing. it adds a subtle ethereal glow that is there, but not too much. And then there are all the other days where this makes me look greasy (a challenge, considering I have very dry skin) and really textured (again, a challenge as pores have never been an issue for me).”

If £39 is still a little steep, a more budget friendly alternative that beauty fans rave about being a phenomenal foundation that delivers the same glow is the E.L.F Halo Glow Liquid Filter, which costs £15 and is described as a ‘Complexion glow booster for a soft-focus look’.

Elsewhere, at Lookfantastic, the L’Oréal Paris Paradise Lumi Glotion is £11.99 and is a radiance enhancing skin tint that can brighten and hydrate – and is perfect for holidays.

As for the Airbrush Flawless Foundation, which comes in 42 different shades, many people have ditched Dior and Chanel for this product, with one person stating: “This gives seriously flawless coverage. It blurs imperfections and makes skin look smooth and even. It’s matte but not flat, and lasts all day. I need to moisturise well before applying, as it can cling to dry spots. Best for full glam looks, love it so much!”

Another added: “The best foundation I’ve ever used, I swapped from Dior to Charlotte Tilbury and I love all her products, especially this foundation! Makes my skin look flawless and is the perfect coverage for me, as someone who likes full coverage foundation! The shade matches are perfect and it blends so perfectly!”

Elsewhere in the Charlotte Tilbury sale, beauty buffs can get their hands on the brand’s Airbrush Flawless Lip Blur and Cheat Kit for £36 less with 45% off. Consisting of two of the brand’s lip blurs and a liner, it’s a great way to top up any lipstick collections without incurring quite such a cost.

For the skincare lovers, Charlotte’s Resurface, Hydrate and Glow kit, which would usually retail at £137, is on sale for £75.35 and contains the brand’s beloved smoothing-effect toner, nourishing, collagen-powered face oil and hydrating face mist.

Packed with niacinamide, hyaluronic mesh technology, collageneer, kombu extract and super peptide royalepigen p5 (to exfoliate and support cell turnover), the set aims to reduce the appearance of pores, smooth, pump, calm, firm and hydrate. Get it here.
