Nothing really screams Charlotte Tilbury quite like the next-level highlighted glow she’s famous for. Her Beauty Light Wands are gorgeous liquid formulas that are dispensed through a cushion applicator. They’re available in six shades that look beautiful and natural on darker skin tones, too. (Sometimes brands only carry silver-based highlighters, which typically don’t look the most flattering on darker skin.) Kaitlin Clark is the senior beauty commerce editor at InStyle. Daley Quinn is a freelance journalist and beauty industry expert with over 10 years of experience. For this story, they tested every Charlotte Tilbury makeup product, evaluating each one for color payoff, longevity, and the way it looked overall, while the skincare lineup was ranked for consistency and texture, hydration, and the lasting effects it provided. Quinn interviewed Tilbury for her advice on how to apply and wear her products for maximum impact and gorgeousness. Pinkgasm, the wand’s best-selling shade, went viral on TikTok and Hyman calls it her go-to cheek product. “It’s a two-in-one blush-highlighter hybrid that leaves my face flushed with a perfect pink glow,” she says. “Not only does the wand pare down my makeup routine, but the formula is super blendable and easy to work with, thanks to its lightweight and dewy consistency.” We should note that this cream carries a soft rose scent, so if you are someone who prefers fragrance-free skincare, you might want to skip this one.

What we say We were such fans of the original Legendary Lashes, we really couldn’t wait for Volume 2 to land on our desks. With new improvements for extra long wear, this is formulated with nourishing and conditioning ingredients, delivering beautiful full and fluttery lashes. And the benefits don’t stop there, it’s smudge-proof, humidity resistant and waterproof, so it’s ideal for all day wear in hot climates. Eyeshadow is not my strong suit, so for a one-and-done eye look, I love to use the shade Pillow Talk,” says Jasmine Hyman, a writer and producer at InStyle. “The creamy eyeshadow is extremely beginner-friendly. It can be applied in one swipe and I even use my fingertips to blend it out. It has a subtle, yet iridescent finish that pairs well with any level of glam.”Glide onto the inner corners of the eyes, under and out towards the lash line to conceal and brighten dark shadows and hyperpigmentation for an instant awakening eye lift effect,” she says. However, to create a snatched look, Tilbury recommends using the angled side of the Hollywood Complexion Brush to precisely contour under cheekbones, down the sides of the nose and along the temples and jawline. We’ve never had an issue with creasing, although most of the time, we do use an eyeshadow primer first to make the pigment and shimmer last all day. Mary Honkus, commerce editor at InStyle, also relies on Pillow Talk to pull her look together in a snap.

We were gifted one of these palettes years ago, and we've been clinging onto it for dear life. It is reserved for Special Events Only, like vacations or weddings. It’s one of those palettes that has basically every shade we need for both our face and our eyes, allowing us to streamline our routine for our most important events. We've applied this highlighter every which way, and when it is dotted onto the high points of the face and then buffed out, it will add a lovely boost of radiance to any matte foundation or tinted moisturizer.

Alnuweiri agrees, describing the hue as perhaps the best blush she’s ever tried — after swapping it with another Tilbury blush, one of the pressed powders. “It has somewhat of a shimmer, light-catching sheen to it, so I skip highlighter altogether when I use this,” she says, adding that the application is so incredibly easy, it’s nearly foolproof. “I make three very light dots on my cheeks and use my middle and ring fingers to tap and blend.” Concealers often don’t get the glory of colorful lippies or shimmering eye palettes, but once you find one that works with your skin type and tone, you’ll never let it go (if you’re anything like us, that is).
