Darlings, is there anything more magical than watching the sunset? Growing up in Ibiza, I was always mesmerised by its glowing rosy skies, and ever since, I’ve loved to use makeup to mimic the pink glow of the horizon.
Discover how to create the dreamiest sunset makeup look using NEW! Pinkgasm Sunset Beauty Light Wand and Jewel Lips and become a radiant rose beauty to behold.
Darlings, before I share how to create a sensational sunset makeup look, you need to prep and prime your complexion! I always say, you can’t have a beautiful painting without a beautiful canvas… and the best way to prep your skin is by applying my award-winning, globally loved Charlotte’s Magic Cream!
I formulated my iconic face cream as a backstage beauty secret for giving skin an immediate revival, helping it to look and feel hydrated, smoother, plumper and more luminous. The supercharged formula is powered by a Magic 8 Matrix of supercharged skincare ingredients including hydrating hyaluronic acid, brightening-effect vitamin C and smoothing-effect aloe vera, working to give the complexion an instant-turnaround effect while making skin look lit-from-within. I never do makeup without this magical moisturiser darlings, and neither should you!
Once your canvas feels soft and supple, apply Invisible UV Flawless Poreless Primer SPF50 to prime, perfect and protect! I created this sunscreen-primer hybrid as a triple-action step in your skin prep routine; it delivers high-factor sun protection for essential everyday shielding from harmful rays while hydrating the skin with its hyaluronic acid-infused formula and blurring the appearance of pores to create a beauty filter effect. Smooth this primer onto the face after applying Charlotte’s Magic Cream and massage it into the skin until it becomes invisible with zero white cast.
Radiant, sun-dappled skin is the perfect base for your sunset makeup look! My Beautiful Skin collection features complexion-perfectors that are perfect for offering luminous, medium-buildable coverage while providing skincare benefits that improve the look of skin over time for your best skin day, every day.
Once you’ve found your perfect shade match using my AI-Powered shade match tool, apply Charlotte’s Beautiful Skin Foundation to create a long-lasting medium-coverage look with a healthy-looking glow. Formulated with hydrating hyaluronic acid and brightening-effect rose complex, this foundation is perfect for giving skin a powerful moisture boost while helping it look naturally radiant.
To lift the look of your face, apply Charlotte’s Beautiful Skin Radiant Concealer. By gliding this hydrating concealer under the eyes and blending upwards and outwards, you can create a beautifying lift effect that helps the eye area to look brighter and more defined. This concealer also helps to reduce the look of fine lines, dark circles and blemishes – just apply in any areas you want some extra coverage and blend well with the small, tapered end of my Hollywood Complexion Brush.
After applying foundation and concealer, set your complexion makeup in place with Airbrush Flawless Finish pressed powder. The award-winning, smoothing-effect formula helps to blur the look of pores and gives the face a soft-focused finish while helping to prevent creasing and unwanted shine.
Tilbury Tip: To give your Beautiful Skin complexion a sun-kissed glow with cream bronzer, apply Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer everywhere that the sun would naturally hit.
Eyebrows are the pillars of your face, so it’s important to keep them well-groomed using my brow perfectors, Brow Cheat and Brow Fix. Start by using the spoolie end of Brow Cheat to brush brow hairs upwards for a fluffy, feathered effect, then use the micro-precision pencil tip to sketch out natural-looking strokes that define and shape the look of your brows. Once your brows are perfectly manicured, set them in place with my super-hold clear brow sculpting gel, Brow Fix, to unlock symmetrical, well-defined brows that stay in place.
Your eyes are the perfect canvas for playing with the glistening, golden hues that come to life at sunset. To give the lids a gleaming sunset glow, I recommend wearing my Eyes to Mesmerise cream eyeshadow in Star Gold, an amber-gold that’s reminiscent of the last glowing sun rays of a summer evening.
My fuss-free cream eyeshadow pots are easy to apply; using the Eye Blender Brush or your ring finger, apply Star Gold to the entire lid for instant sunset charm, and remember to glide the formula along the lower lash line to create a mesmerising eye look. Then, to accentuate the look of your eyes, draw along the lash line with The Classic powder eyeliner pencil in Black and extend beyond the outer corner to create my famous feline flick and apply lashings and lashings of Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes! mascara to give the lashes instant lift and length.
Tilbury Tip: To dial up your sunset eye makeup look, reach for my Luxury Palette in The Queen of Glow – an eyeshadow quad with glimmering, sunset-inspired shades.
For the lips, I’ve created the most gorgeous lip gloss to give pouts on every hemisphere the wondrous glow of sunset – Jewel Lips in Pinkgasm Sunset! Designed as the perfect match to my newest shade of Beauty Light Wands, Pinkgasm Sunset, this pout-perfecting lip gloss is the secret to love-glazed lips!
Jewel Lips in Pinkgasm Sunset is my sparkling lip gloss formula in a NEW! radiant rose shade inspired by gorgeous pink sunsets. The formula glides onto the lips to deliver comfortable, long-lasting Pinkgasm colour, creating a dreamy sunscape on your lips. With one swipe of my jewel-shine lip gloss formula, lips look fuller and poutier with the glossiest finish – applying Jewel Lips is like adorning your lips with a magical veil of jewels!
Tilbury Tip: Before you apply Jewel Lips lip gloss, line your lips with Lip Cheat in Foxy Brown for a resizing and reshaping effect.
My iconic contour and highlighter wands are the perfect additions to your sunset makeup look! These Hollywood-inspired beauty secrets are perfect for sculpting the look of your complexion and giving it a gorgeous, sunlit glow. The liquid formulas glide effortlessly onto the skin, helping to create the illusion of a more chiselled facial framework before warming up the look of your face with sunset-inspired radiance.
Apply the Hollywood Contour Wand by swiping the magic cushion applicator under the cheekbones, down the sides of the nose, along the jawline and across the forehead to sculpt the look of your face, using the larger end of the Hollywood Complexion Brush to blend out the fuss-free liquid contour formula. Then, light up the look of your cheekbones and the centre of your nose with my Beauty Light Wand in Goldgasm, a true, yellow-gold liquid highlighter that gives the face a molten, sunset glow.
Tilbury Tip: For fairer skin tones, choose my Beauty Light Wand in Spotlight for soft, champagne-gold highlights.
The secret to sunset-blushed cheeks is my NEW! Pinkgasm Sunset Beauty Light Wand! The world fell in love with my Pinkgasm blush-highlighter and I wanted to create a dialled-up shade that encapsulated the rosy romance of sunset! This new shade is a radiant rose that gives the cheeks a rush of pink – it’s the perfect shade to make your sunset makeup look blush and glow like a scenic pink skyline.
To get the Pinkgasm Sunset makeup look, dot your magic cushion applicator onto the apples of the cheeks to give them a rosy flush, then blend using the Magic Complexion Brush to create a diffused, sunset effect. Apply one dot for a more subdued sunset makeup look, or three dots for more intensely sun-blushed cheeks. Your perfect sunset blush is just a few dots away!
Set your sunset makeup look in place with my iconic Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray! Formulated to mist onto the face as a weightless veil that smooths and blurs the look of pores, this makeup-fixing setting spray is the perfect way to lock in your look from sunrise to sunset!
To apply, hold Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray away from the face and spritz onto the skin to help set makeup into place. For on-the-go makeup touch-ups, keep my travel-sized setting spray in your bag to provide a refreshing mist that helps to revive the look of makeup and keeps it looking flawless throughout the day.
Darlings, brush along with this sunset makeup tutorial and glow with the romantic, rosy tones of sunset! Don’t wait for your next summer getaway, darlings… with my sunset-inspired shades, your cheeks, lips and eyes can look sun-blushed from sunrise to sunset!
