SUMMER FOUNDATION HACKS

  1. A fair-tone brunette model applying a pearly-white, glowy face serum with a dropper.

    MIX YOUR FOUNDATION WITH SERUM FOR A LIGHTER COVERAGE

    If you still want to benefit from the SMOOTHING EFFECTS of Airbrush Flawless Foundation or the MEDIUM-BUILDABLE COVERAGE of Charlotte's Beautiful Skin Foundation but prefer lighter coverage in the summer, simply mix your foundation with Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir! The magical serum is a lightweight, hydrating elixir that mixes beautifully with foundation to create a softer, lighter finish.

    Add 2-3 drops of serum to your foundation and mix it together on a palette or on the back of your hand to create a lightweight summer foundation with even more hydration!

    APPLY SETTING SPRAY TO YOUR BRUSH TO IMPROVE FOUNDATION LONGEVITY

    Before applying your foundation, spray your makeup brush with Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray! Formulated as the ultimate AIRBRUSH fix, this setting spray helps to boost the longevity of your foundation while creating an airbrushed, flawless-looking finish. Pairing your foundation with this superstar setting spray is the perfect way to make makeup last on a hot summer day!

    USE SETTING SPRAY BETWEEN STEPS TO LOCK IN YOUR LOOK

    Setting spray is the secret to long-lasting complexion perfection! Another MAGIC tip is to use Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray in-between steps to truly lock in each layer!

    Apply your setting spray after your Airbrush Flawless Foundation or Charlotte's Beautiful Skin Foundation, and before your Airbrush Flawless Finnish powder! Then, after you’ve beautified your eyes, lips and cheeks, apply Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray again to lock in your look!

    Tilbury Tip: You can even apply Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray after your skincare and before your foundation to PRIME your skin and create a summery, lightweight canvas for makeup!

    APPLY FOUNDATION ONLY WHERE YOU NEED IT

    If you’d like to create a lighter, natural-looking effect for summer, only apply a small amount of your foundation just where you need it, using it almost like a concealer! Charlotte's Beautiful Skin Foundation is a perfect choice for custom coverage; use the medium-buildable formula to slowly add coverage in any areas where you'd like to even the look of skin tone.
