Who Is the Uptown Girl?

Always groomed, glossy, and gorgeous, the Uptown Girl is rarely seen with an eyelash or strand of hair out of place. She’s polished, put together and elegant, and knows the power of a great blow-dry! Her makeup enhances her features and highlights her assets.

How to Get the Uptown Girl Look

  1. Pearly-white face cream in a glass jar, luminous face serum in a glass bottle with a dropper lid, light face cream in a glass bottle, and eye cream in a glass pot, all having gold-coloured lids.

    MAGIC STEP 5: DEFINE WITH SILVER SHIMMER

  7. An open, soft dark-brown eyeliner pencil with the CT logo printed on it and its cap next to it.

    MAGIC STEP 7: ADD A CLASSIC BROWN FELINE FLICK

    Add instant definition with The Classic Eyeliner in Classic Brown, a soft dark brown pencil, by drawing along the upper lash-line and extending out at the outer corner for subtle emphasis and definition to accentuate your eye shade with a soft wing.

  8. A black mascara in dark crimson packaging with its applicator next to it.

    MAGIC STEP 8: COAT LASHES WITH A HOLLYWOOD FLUTTER

    Apply Charlotte’s Full Fat Lashes Mascara in Glossy Black for instant separation, volume and length. Lashings and lashings of mascara transform your eyeshadow look and make your eyes pop!

  9. An open, mirrored-lid two-tone blush in warm pink and light peach-pink.

    MAGIC STEP 9: ADD A LIMITLESS GLOW

    Give your cheeks a pretty pearlescent pink flush with Cheek to Chic Blusher in Love Glow to bring the look together.

    Swish your brush around the outside shade of your Cheek to Chic blush and apply the color in circular motions along the cheekbones. Use the central Pop shade on the apple of the cheek to add a dreamy glow.

    Tilbury Tip: For deeper complexions, Charlotte recommends Cheek to Chic Blush in Love is the Drug, a creamy, shimmering cool pink for a healthy pop of glowing color.

  10. An open, mirrored-lid pressed powder compact for fair skin tones.

    MAGIC STEP 10: DIFFUSE YOUR BASE

    Using Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder*, blend over your T-zone for a flawless, poreless-looking, confident complexion.
