Embrace your inner Hollywood starlet with Charlotte’s seductively magical Bombshell makeup look, with a bold red lip at the centre of it all! From the iconic 10 LOOKS wardrobe, Charlotte curated the ultimate eye, lip, and cheek set that will bring out your most luxurious, glamorous, and gorgeous self.
The Bombshell is a lover of martinis, leopard print, and old Hollywood. She wakes up in the morning with a gorgeous, fresh-faced natural glow but, her favourite thing is slicking on her signature hypnotising Hollywood red lip to feel instantly empowered and inspired by the glamour.

Finish your skin prep by applying Magic Eye Rescue eye cream to your under-eye area.

Create a poreless flawless looking complexion using your shade of Airbrush Flawless Foundation*! Apply the full-coverage formula to your skin using Charlotte’s Hollywood Complexion Brush!
Charlotte’s easy to use Colour Chameleon in Amber Haze is a luxurious, tarnished amber shade with warm sparkling shimmers to bring out the natural glimmer in your eyes. Run the eyeshadow pencil along your lash line and blend upwards. Tap out the edges with your finger or a brush for a flawless-looking blend. Draw along the lower lash line and blend out with the Eye Smudger Brush* to add a sultry intensity to your gaze.
Add a bold black line for a classic feline flick. Glide The Feline Flick Eyeliner in Panther along your upper lash line and extend out to create an exaggerated dramatic wing or a subtle cat-eye.
Sweep on lashings and lashings of Full Fat Lashes Mascara in Glossy Black to your upper and lower lashes for the look of false lashes instantly! Apply a second coat for even more volume and drama.
Use Charlotte’s Hollywood Contour Wand* to sculpt the hollows of your cheekbones, sides of your nose, and along the jawline for magically contoured facial architecture. Use with the Hollywood Complexion Brush* for easy blendability and perfect precision.
Lock in your look using Airbrush Flawless Finish* and the Powder & Sculpt Brush* . Dust over your T-zone, nose, and any other areas you want to lock down and mattify for an all-day flawless-looking finish.
Define and perfect your lip shape Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Kiss ‘n’ Tell, a rich scarlet shade ideal for reshaping and resizing the look of your lips before going in with bright, bold lipstick. K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in So Red, a dreamy red lipstick, is the ultimate choice for a bombshell looking to turn heads all night long. Add a vibrant, glossy red with Charlotte’s Lip Lustre Lip Gloss in Red Vixen for maximum glamour and a Hollywood finish.
Swirl Cheek to Chic Blusher in Sex on Fire, a tawny rose shade, for glowing skin and the ultimate final step to your bombshell look.
To apply: SWISH your brush around the outer shade and tap off any excess product from your brush. Blend the brush up the cheekbone from the apples to the top of your cheek. Then POP your brush directly into the middle shade, tap off the excess again, and apply just to the apples of your cheeks to make them pop and glow! Blend both shades together for a seamless touch of colour.
Tilbury Tip: For deeper complexions, Charlotte recommends Cheek to Chic in Pillow Talk Intense* , a deep, rosy-pink powder blush for Pillow Talk magic!
