Darlings, Charlotte’s Magic Cream is my legendary, award-winning, bestselling moisturizer! It was my very first innovation when I launched Charlotte Tilbury Beauty in 2013, but the story goes back even further than that!
I was working as a makeup artist, creating the most iconic looks for the world’s most beautiful people, but I noticed their skin was often dry, dull and exhausted from their busy schedules! I needed a moisturizer that would revive and transform the look of skin and create the perfect glowing canvas for makeup, so I mixed my own secret cream that became famous with supermodels and stars. It all started with Charlotte’s Magic Cream, darlings… Magic Cream is Magic Skin!
Discover more about this backstage beauty icon and why it has been a favourite with celebrities, beauty editors and skincare experts for over a decade…
It All Started Backstage...
Darlings, my once-secret Magic Cream was born out of necessity backstage! Working on countless fashion shows, red carpets and photo shoots, I learned that if you want a beautiful painting, you need a beautiful canvas!
Supermodels and stars would sit in my makeup chair and their skin would often be dry, dull and exhausted from their busy schedules. I needed a moisturizer that would make their skin glow – but I couldn’t find anything out there that could instantly transform the look of skin the way I needed it to!
They say that necessity is the mother of invention – so, I worked with leading scientists and the best laboratories in the world to formulate my vision… an immediate skin revival moisturizer with a cushioning effect on skin and makeup!
My miracle moisturizer rapidly became a skincare saviour for shoots, shows, red carpets and runways! The legend soon rippled through the industry – celebrities and supermodels would beg me for what they called my Magic Cream!
Infused with my signature Cushion + Lift Mesh Technology™, it cocoons the skin in hydration, lifts the look of facial contours and smooths, retexturizes + plumps the look of skin! Combined with hydrating Hyaluronic Acid, plump-effect Peptides, and brightening Vitamins C & E, it’s the secret to clinically proven results you can see, feel and believe!
