Step 1: Start with a Makeup-Free Canvas using Take It All Off Makeup Remover
For a truly fresh face, apply Charlotte’s NEW! Take It All Off Makeup Remover to start your routine with a clean canvas that’s free from makeup. The HYDRATING formula includes SOOTHING EYEBRIGHT and COMFORTING chamomile to be gentle on skin while effectively wiping away any makeup that’s left over from the night before from your eyes, lips and lashes.
Tilbury Tip: Use Charlotte’s SHAKE, SOAK and SWIPE method for MAGICAL makeup removal.
Step 2: Exfoliate and Hydrate with Glow Toner
In the beauty world, toner has sometimes gotten a bad reputation for drying the skin, so when Charlotte formulated her Glow Toner, she knew that she wanted to pack it full of hydrating ingredients that would leave skin GLOWING. Calling on sodium hyaluronate and niacinamide – two heavy hitters when it comes to hydration – Charlotte created a toner that provides an effective, acid-free exfoliating process that doesn’t feel drying. Instead, Glow Toner quenches the skin with hydration and nourishment, leaving it looking RADIANT.
Tilbury Tip: Apply with your hands using soothing massage motions or use a cotton pad for gentle exfoliation.
Step 3: Hydrate Skin with Polyglutamic Acid, found in Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir
In the world of hydrating ingredients, hyaluronic acid has become a hero for smooth, hydrated skin, but did you know that it has a big sister of sorts? Polyglutamic acid is a potent, hydrating ingredient that is 4X more hydrating than hyaluronic acid, making it a total powerhouse when it comes to intensely hydrating your skin. Your serum is the perfect moment in your skincare routine to dial up the dosage of high-performance hydrators like polyglutamic acid, and Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir takes full advantage of this ingredient, pairing it with brightening vitamin C and niacinamide to lock in all of its skin-loving goodness.
Step 4: Maximise Hydration with Charlotte’s Magic Cream
Charlotte’s AWARD-WINNING magic moisturiser, Charlotte’s Magic Cream, uses a magical mixture of HYDRATING HEROES to drench your complexion. This dreamy day cream is expertly formulated with camellia oil, rosehip oil, shea butter and hyaluronic acid to create a rich texture that’s both MOISTURISING and MESMERISING, leaving skin looking healthy and hydrated.
Tilbury Tip: Layer the magic! If you have dry skin, or simply love layering your moisturising formulas for maximum results, apply Charlotte’s iconic Magic Cream alongside Charlotte’s Magic Cream Light for even more gorgeous glow.
Step 5: Keep Lips Luscious with Charlotte’s Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir
While we’re talking about how to hydrate skin, don’t forget about that pout, darling! Charlotte’s Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir rolls EFFORTLESSLY across the lips, giving them a helping of hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate and a glassy shine that helps them appear FULLER and more KISSABLE!
Step 6: Hydrate for Radiant-Looking Skin with Charlotte’s Beautiful Skin Foundation
Beautiful Skin Foundation is Charlotte’s answer to a hydrated, healthy-looking base. The formula is comfortable and lightweight with a natural-looking finish, giving skin a DREAMY, DEWY glow. Its medium coverage helps to perfect the look of skin by concealing the appearance of blemishes and redness, but its main role is to BEAUTIFY the skin by boosting radiance and hydration with the help of skincare sweetheart, hyaluronic acid.
Tilbury Tip: Blend out with your fingers for a seamless, skin-like application.
Step 7: Hydrate, Shape and Brighten with Charlotte’s Beautiful Skin Radiant Concealer
A perfect partner for Charlotte’s Beautiful Skin Foundation, Charlotte’s Beautiful Skin Radiant Concealer provides medium-to-buildable coverage that puts hydration first. Once again, hyaluronic acid takes a starring role, giving this hydrating concealer a NOURISHING eye cream effect!
Tilbury Tip: Use a lighter shade under the eyes for a lifted and brightened effect.
Tilbury Tip: To help reduce excess shine, apply Charlotte’s AWARD-WINNING Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder in the T-zone, and to help brighten the appearance of under-eyes, apply Charlotte’s NEW! Airbrush Brightening Flawless Finish Powder for an illuminating effect.
Step 8: Get a Beachy-Bronzed, Hydrated Glow using Charlotte’s Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer
Hydrating and bronzing your complexion all at once, Charlotte’s Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer adds beachy-bronzed, sunlit dimension to your face as well as a surge of moisture thanks to its hyaluronic acid-enriched formula.

The cream eyeshadow formula is easy to blend and is packed with soft-focused shimmer to give the lids an ALL-EYES-ON-YOU glow. Each pigmented pot is rich in vitamin E and emollients that help seal in moisture to keep your lids GLOWING.
Tilbury Tip: Accentuate the eyes even more with a coat of Charlotte’s Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes Mascara.
Step 10: Colour and Care for Lips and Cheeks using Tinted Love
Charlotte’s Tinted Love gives your makeup look just a tint of MESMERISING colour, giving the lips a just-been-kissed flush.
