MAGIC STEP 2: Flawless Foundation Application
When it comes to creating a GORGEOUS and GLOWING complexion for your glass skin look, reach for my Magic Vanish! This long-wearing colour corrector will visibly correct any uneven skin tone and conceal the look of dark spots and circles for SMOOTH and DEWY-LOOKING skin.
Then, use one of my MAGIC foundations to give your skin an AIRBRUSHED-LOOKING glass skin effect! My Airbrush Flawless Foundation will give you poreless-looking skin that stays all day, while my Beautiful Skin Foundation provides medium-buildable coverage with a HEALTHY-LOOKING GLOW! Looking for something more lightweight? Look no further than my Hollywood Flawless Filter, a glow-boosting liquid formula that can be used as a base or highlighter that blurs, smooths and illuminates the look of your complexion.
MAGIC STEP 3: Add Some Glow
Darlings, one of the key characteristics of glass skin makeup is an ILLUMINATED complexion that’s almost reflective! To achieve this, lock in your base with my Airbrush Brightening Flawless Finish. This complexion-perfecting translucent powder will brighten, blur and lift the look of your eyes and face for an AIRBRUSHED effect!
Then, get your HOLLYWOOD GLOW ON by applying my Hollywood Glow Glide Face Architect Highlighter using my 6 GLOW TRICKS including applying highlighter to your cheeks (for a lifting effect), to your jaw (for a visibly sculpted-looking jawline), on your inner corners (for bigger, brighter-looking eyes), to your nose (for definition), to your brow bone (for a brow and eye lift effect) and to your cupid's bow (for a plumper-looking pout!). The results? A GORGEOUS, GLASSY GLOW that’s luminous, lifted and younger looking!

MAGIC STEP 4: Perfect Your Pout
Once you’ve created your glass skin look, create GORGEOUS-LOOKING glossy lips that complement your glowing complexion! Use Charlotte’s Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir, gliding this crystal-infused lip oil with potent ingredients including Sqisandryl™, hyaluronic acid, Swertian leaf extract and alpine rose over your pout for HYDRATED and LUSCIOUS lips!
Then, add the perfect pop of glossy colour to your lips with lip liner and mirror-shine gloss! After lining and defining the shape of your lips with Lip Cheat, glide on a high-shine finish with my Collagen Lip Bath using the heart shaped applicator for the perfect pout to compliment your makeup look.

Tilbury Tip: Use your highlighter as a gleaming inner corner shade and tap some onto the centre of the lid for a strobing, glassy-eyed look!
MAGIC STEP 6: Blush and Go
It might come as a surprise that blush is one of the last products to use when creating your glass skin look, but it’s one of my ultimate beauty tips! When you apply your blush at the end of your beauty ritual, you’ll have a much better idea of how much colour you’ll need to complement the rest of your look! Try my Cheek to Chic two-tone pearlescent pink blusher for a DEWY glow or choose my Pillow Talk Lip & Cheek Glow for a radiant lip and blush tint in one!

The last step in creating glass skin beauty is to lock your look in place!
