From plumping skincare to do-it-all foundations, the brand boasts a catalogue of flattering, stay-all-day products - albeit a bit on the pricey side.

With stores and counters popping up countrywide, and our social feeds full of Airbrush Setting Powders and Pillow Talk lipsticks, we're all going a bit bonkers for Charlotte Tilbury.

Add that to the fact that the brand has launched (what feels like) hundreds of new products this year already, the brand has become one of beauty's most coveted.

How to use Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter

This lightweight veil can be dialled up or down - depending on your desired look.

Wear Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter alone for a quick, natural glow, or underneath your favourite foundation for a full-coverage, flawless complexion.

You can even apply Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter like a highlighter, over the top of your base make-up, to accentuate high points on your face, like your cheekbones.

To apply, use a buffing or foundation brush to distribute product over your complexion, focusing on areas you want to conceal and brighten.

I was desperate to try this setting powder for a long time.

Countless friends and colleagues had raved about it, claiming that the viral powder had blurred their complexion and set their make-up for hours.

Usually, when I have hopes this high I wind up disappointed, but Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish (£38) didn't fail to impress.

Like most pressed powders, the application is very straightforward - I simply tap and brush it into my t-zone, forehead and eye contour areas.

What's particularly impressive about this powder is how well it blurs and minimises pores and uneven skin.

I have several enlarged pores on my forehead, but this powder instantly diminishes them without making my complexion look dry or cakey.

This is all thanks to soft focus micro powders from nano-particles which smooth skin texture.

According to Charlotte Tilbury, the brand sold one Airbrush Flawless Finish powder every minute during 2020/21 - and I can understand why.

Since working in beauty journalism, I've inevitably become my friends' beauty agony aunt, and the one question I'm asked constantly is: "Is Magic Cream any good?"

Whilst it's in no way the best moisturiser out there - especially considering it's hefty pricetag - it certainly does have merits.

It has a stiff, heavy texture (which I always find reminiscent of Sudocrem) which encourages you to deeply massage the cream into your skin.

Couple this with the formula's Plump-Effect Peptide Complex and your skin is left plumper, fuller and more radiant.

I have friends who swear by it - and say that no other cream leaves their skin looking quite so good - and I agree, as it does always leave my skin glowing.

Formulated with hyaluronic acid, the cream provides my skin with an instant hit of hydration but is then often left feeling parched by lunchtime.

It makes a great base under makeup, leaving your skin as the perfect canvas for base products, but I wouldn't recommend it to those who have dry or sensitive skin.

Charlotte Tilbury Crystal Lip Elixir, £28

BUY NOW FOR £28

For me to be impressed with a lip oil that costs £28, it's got to do a lot.

I'm a huge fan of lip oil (a lighter, non-sticky version of lipgloss), but most of my favourites cost under a tenner.

Whilst there is no denying that Charlotte Tilbury Crystal Lip Elixir (£28) is very pricey, it is worth splurging on.

Put simply, I've never tried a lip oil that is quite so glossy and hydrating.

It provides lips with an instant, plumping, juicy look that sticks about for much longer than other lip oils.

The fairly thin, non-sticky formula glides over dry and chapped skin, offering an instant burst of hydration.

I tend to apply the oil to my lips on the go, but it can be used overnight as a lip mask.

The formula stars a 'magical 5-crystal complex' alongside eight plumping and moisturising ingredients, including hyaluronic acid and alpine rose extract.

Let's face it, no one has space for multiple eyeshadow palettes that contain shades you never use.

That's why I love Charlotte Tilbury The Beautyverse Pallette - this limited edition palette is so well curated that I have genuinely used every shade.

This is all thanks to how well-balanced the palette is, as it's the perfect toss-up between brown neutrals and shimmering colour pops.

For a quick and easy office look, I'll tap one of the beige shades into my lids, before tapping one of the brighter shades into my inner corner.

Despite their glittery appearance, I've experienced little fallout when using the shades, thanks to the eyeshadows being buttery-smooth and densely packed.

I'd certainly consider it as the do-it-all palette which is ideal for packing on holiday.

For years, I steered clear of setting sprays.

Every single product I'd tried would break me out or leave my skin feeling dry until I tried Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray.

This spray is dispensed in a fine, gentle mist which quickly settles on the skin without leaving your complexion feeling wet or looking shiny.

Despite its subtle fragrance, it doesn't dry or irritate eyes and instead feels very hydrating, thanks to aloe vera and Japanese green tea.

The setting spray is also fully waterproof, meaning it keeps your make-up look locked in come rain or shine.

Many setting sprays will mattify skin, which is less than ideal if you're trying to achieve a dewy look (I know I always am).

However, the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray never falls foul of this, and instead blurs imperfections and leaves your complexion looking radiant.
