The Airbrush Flawless Finish has been on my wishlist for years and Makeup fans will know it takes a long time to use up a powder, so it’s the perfect opportunity to try
As we step into the new year, many of us are taking on mini projects to declutter our homes. I seized this opportunity to purge my expired makeup and replace it with some products I’ve been itching to try.
Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Finish has been on my wishlist for ages. Makeup enthusiasts will know that powders, whether compact or loose, last a long time and it’s always an exciting purchase when you get to try something news.
This product is adored by celebs, makeup artists and fans alike. It’s a complexion-enhancing micro powder with a pore-blurring effect.

For me, it’s been a game-changer since I switched from my Dior Forever Cushion Loose Powder. The Airbrush Flawless Finish is essentially loose powder pressed into a compact, making the application mess-free.
The Charlotte Tilbury compact case is slim enough that it fits easily into any handbag without adding bulk. The champagne gold case slips perfectly into my jeans pocket, making touch-ups on the go super easy. However, I do wish it came with a blending puff to save me carrying an extra brush, reports OK!.
The Airbrush Flawless Finish comes in four shades – Fair, Medium, Tan and Deep.
I chose Fair for a near-translucent finish. One key feature I look for in a setting powder is oil control, as this reduces the need for frequent touch-ups throughout the day.
After testing the Airbrush Flawless Finish for a full eight hours, I’m thrilled to report that it’s a game-changer in my beauty routine. It pairs perfectly with my foundation, avoiding any dreaded ‘cakiness’, and masterfully smooths and blurs pores, giving me the sensation of an invisible veil on my face.
The micro powder, enriched with rose wax and almond oil, imparts a soft glow that subtly highlights my cheekbones as if I’ve applied a touch of highlighter.
As someone with combination skin, I did need a midday touch-up, but Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Finish outperformed my previous powders, requiring only one reapplication. You can choose a compact powder shade that matches your skin tone or opt for a darker shade for a “bronzed look”.
Priced at £39 alone, you can snag a 10% discount when purchasing it with the Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, bringing the cost down from £70 to £63 for the duo.
Beyond Charlotte Tilbury, Beauty Pie’s One Powder Wonder Matte Refill and Compact Case comes highly recommended by members for its ultra-light formula. For those with dry skin, By Terry’s Pressed Hydra Powder is infused with hyaluronic acid, offering eight hours of hydration while maintaining flawless makeup.
It’s available at LookFantastic for £42, or grab the travel size for £20.
