"I truly believe fashion and beauty are soulmates. They complete each other. They allow us the freedom to experiment, have fun and be whoever we want to be. I have seen how makeup has the power to change our energy. To give us the confidence to live a life without limits and to pursue our biggest and boldest dreams. That’s why I am so proud of my dream team at Charlotte Tilbury Beauty who share my mission to unlock the magic of confidence in everyone, everywhere, everyday!”
Friend Amal Clooney, who presenter Charlotte with the award, said: “I first met Charlotte when we were neighbours in Notting Hill, and she did the trial for my wedding makeup. I was aghast when she showed up to the house with five suitcases of product, by the end of the session she was not only my makeup artist - she was my friend. At the wedding she was our guest.
"When I think about Charlotte, some words that spring to mind are… Trailblazer, Brilliant, Spiritual, Savvy, Compassionate, Fun, Dancefloor, Champagne, All-Nighter. I should probably stop there. I adore this woman, she is a dear friend to me and my family – she is generous without limit or calculation – not only to those she loves but also through her charitable work. George and I are so grateful for her support for the Clooney foundation. She is all heart and an inspiration to us all”
Supermodel Kate Moss added: “I am so excited to be celebrating my dear friend Charlotte tonight! Charlotte and I have worked together for over 30 years, since the start of both of our careers. When we first met on set in 1998, I immediately felt her energy and passion for makeup and the power it has to boost confidence, and it’s amazing to see the impact and career she has had since!
"I’ve always loved working with her - so many of my favourite shoots and covers have been with Charlotte. I'm so honoured to now work with her on Charlotte Tilbury Beauty campaigns and be a part of her special night!”
