Charlotte Tilbury sale includes £17 lip product that gives a 'lip filler' look - Leeds Live
While we can't always promise sunny skies for the Bank Holiday, one thing we can count on is our favourite makeup and skincare brands offering discounts. Never ones to disappoint, Charlotte Tilbury is spoiling beauty enthusiasts with a site-wide sale, allowing shoppers to enjoy 20% off their high-quality, Hollywood-adored products.
The sale runs from Wednesday, May 21, to Monday, May 26, with anyone entering the code MAGICMAY receiving 20% off any full-priced items. With no minimum spending necessary, this is an ideal chance to grab celebrity-endorsed cult favourites.
However, when there's a discount on so many products, knowing which ones are worth buying can be challenging. To simplify things, we've highlighted four standout products adored by beauty editors and sported by A-listers, from Zendaya to Sarah Jessica Parker.
Each product is included in the limited-time discount. However, it's worth noting that bundles, already discounted items, and a few other exclusions don't qualify, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Elsewhere, Amazon is hosting its inaugural Everyday Essentials Week, providing seven days of deals on everyday essential items until 23.59 p.m. on Tuesday, May 27. As part of the event, up to 40% off beauty products, including brands like NIVEA, KIKO, and Neutrogena, are available. For those in the market for a new beauty tool, Foreo is offering an additional 30% off with the code BANKHOLIDAY30 until May 27.
For those seeking a flawless base, plumper lips, or radiant complexion, Charlotte Tilbury is a go-to brand among beauty enthusiasts looking to replenish their makeup and skincare supplies. Here are four top-rated, celebrity-approved picks to consider.
The newest member of the iconic Lip Cheat family, the Super Nudes Lip Cheat Contour Duo, has already made a splash on the red carpet. This double-ended lip pencil comes in four shades, from fair to deep, and features two expertly paired tones: a deeper shade for sculpting and a lighter one for filling, resulting in lips that appear lifted and fuller.
At the recent Met Gala, White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood wore the medium shade, as revealed by her makeup artist Shayna Goldberg. Meanwhile, Zendaya chose the Tan shade to complement her glamorous look, pairing it with the glossy Big Lips Plumpgasm.
This ingenious double-ended pencil has been hailed as a great alternative to lip fillers, with our colleague Zoe Cripps saying it made her look like she'd 'had filler'. She explained: "On one end, you've got Sculpt - a powdery, deeper-toned shade designed to fake natural-looking shadows and add subtle contour. Flip it over, and there's Fill – a creamier, lighter tone that glides on like a dream to blend seamlessly with the sculpted edges.
"Together, they deliver the easiest, most flattering lip contour of your life. Just look at my before and after– my boyfriend asked me if I'd had lip filler."
Impressively, it only launched last month, providing a fabulous chance to save cash on one of the brand's most recent products; use the promo code to knock £4.40 off the recommended retail price.
A radiant-boosting favourite among makeup artists, the Beautiful Skin Foundation contains hydrating hyaluronic acid and brightening rose complex and offers a smooth, buildable texture for natural-looking coverage that lasts up to 16 hours.
At the previous year's Met Gala, a bevvy of A-listers, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Demi Moore, Emily Ratajkowski, Lana Del Rey, Jodie Turner and Rita Ora, were spotted wearing this moisture-rich foundation. However, its appeal isn't limited to the glitterati walking the red carpet.
The medium-coverage product, available in 30 shades, purports to triple radiance while doubling skin's smoothness and plumpness—reasons why it has become a go-to for our beauty experts.
Laura Mulley from OK commended: "I've tested hundreds of foundations in my time, but this is one that I would 100% buy again. Its name is totally accurate; it really does give 'beautiful skin' – even, perfected and radiant in a very natural looking way and, unlike a lot of foundations, it stays looking like this all day long; no creasing or settling into pores."
Zoe, the head of shopping, is also enthused, remarking: "I'm hooked on this. It applies like a tinted moisturiser but instantly gives coverage like a high-coverage base. It also glides over my skin, leaving a velvety feel and a radiant glow. I didn't need anything else besides that, and definitely no powder. If I were going out, I'd probably set my under-eye and forehead with a bit of translucent powder, but for a regular day, I'm happy with a full-throttle glow."
3. Charlotte's Magic Cream – was £79, now £63.20
Known as the "magic dew of youth" and "luminosity in a jar," Charlotte's Magic Cream has become an essential tool backstage for models and celebrities at fashion shows and award ceremonies alike. Originally mixed by Charlotte herself during these events, the Magic Cream's iconic status can be attributed to its remarkable ability to rejuvenate tired-looking, thirsty skin on the fly.
Loaded with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, rosehip oil, and vitamins C and E, it amplifies the skin's natural sheen and provides an impeccable foundation for makeup application. Sienna Miller has even praised the product on social media, describing it as a "big drink for the skin."
She enthused: "Charlotte's magic cream is a miracle product. I actually remember the days before Charlotte had her brand and she would mix up her magic cream for shoots and stick it on my face, so when this became available to buy, I think a lot of us were very, very excited. It's an amazing product, it feels so good, it smells so good - it's a big drink to the skin and the best prep beneath makeup."
Tiffany Lo, beauty writer from The Express, is a fan of the cream's 'rich, thick texture', noting that it gives her a 'dewy glow' with just a light application and leaves no 'sticky' residue. However, she pointed out: "It is a nourishing day cream to use, and I prefer using this on cold weather days than in summer because it gives me tiny breakouts on my combination skin when the weather is hot and humid."
The creamy bronzer boasts finely milled pearls to illuminate skin and silky polymers for a soft-focus effect on both face and body. It's also packed with hyaluronic acid and sunshine provitamin D3, promising to double skin hydration within an hour.
The sweat-proof and humidity-proof product, which sold one every 30 seconds on its launch day, is available in four shades from fair to deep and boasts a 16-hour staying power. It has garnered hundreds of five-star reviews from shoppers who describe it as 'buttery and buildable'. However, some customers still show a preference for powder products, with the Airbrush Bronzer being a recommended alternative.
Beauty writer Bethan Shufflebotham said: "This bronzer I absolutely love. It's the first-ever cream bronzer from the brand that works to blur, hydrate and bronze all in one. It gives you an instant sun-kissed skin effect, which makes it a great product for the summer months; plus, it has a mirror in the compact, which makes it ideal for holidays or on the go. My favourite tip is to apply it to your eyes as a shadow for an effortlessly cohesive look."
