Charlotte’s Beautiful Skin Island Glow Easy Tanning Drops are available across two MAGIC shades: Fair/Medium for cool skin tones and Tan/Deep for warmer skin tones.

Charlotte’s Beautiful Skin Island Glow Easy Tanning Drops can be applied to clean, dry skin under, mixed in with, or on top of your moisturiser.

For best effects, I recommend using my Beautiful Skin Bronzing Brush to buff in your face tanning drops for a flawless, even and natural-looking application each time.
Tilbury Tip: Take care to avoid the eye and lip area during application and always wash your hands thoroughly afterwards, darlings!
