The Story of Charlotte’s Magic Cream: A Backstage Icon for Immediate Skin Revival

Darlings, Charlotte’s Magic Cream is my legendary, award-winning, bestselling moisturiser! 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 moisturiser 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!

The Story of Charlotte’s Magic Cream

The Magic + Science Behind Charlotte’s Magic Cream

THE SCIENCE OF THE BLEND: I work closely with industry-disrupting, global skin innovation laboratories and my expert in-house skincare scientists to create the most supercharged blend of ingredients that work in synergy together. Charlotte’s Magic Cream is powered by Cushion + Lift Mesh Technology™ for instantly hydrated, smoother, firmer, plumper looking skin that glows! Blended with plump-effect Peptides, brightening Vitamins C + E and hydrating Hyaluronic Acid to immediately revive the look of skin, it unlocks clinically proven results in 28 seconds and 28 days!

THE POWER OF LAYERING: I believe that every product in your skincare routine should complement, enhance and supercharge each other! That’s why my high-performance formulas + immediate skin revival routines are extensively tested by Pro Artists on red carpets and runways to ensure your makeup glides on beautifully and layers perfectly! Pair Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir with Charlotte’s Magic Cream for the perfect hydrated, glowing canvas – your makeup will always look better and last longer!

THE MAGIC OF LIGHT: Inspired by the creatives and visionaries I was surrounded by from an early age, I have always understood the power of light and shade. My Magic Skin icons bottle the magic of light with Radiance-Boosting Optics + Skin-Cushioning Emollients that reflect and diffuse light in the most flattering way for a lit-from-within glow!

SKINCARE DECODED: Charlotte’s Magic Cream is immediate skin revival in one easy step! To optimise results, apply using the ‘Tilbury Tap’ – my easy but effective massage technique for applying moisturiser!
