Friday Fave! Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Sun-kissed Glow Bronzer.

 Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Sun-kissed Glow Bronzer.

I have long been a huge fan of both Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush powder bronzer and Unisex Healthy Glow tint but the recent introduction of a cream bronzer is literally a dream come true for me!

It is the best cream bronzer by far that I have tried and I have tried quite a few! There are four shades for different skin tones.  I opted for shade 2. Medium but you can also choose from 1. Fair, 3. Tan and 4. Deep.

I like to take a synthetic brush and swirl it gently around the bronzing cream before buffing into the areas of the face the sun naturally hits i.e cheekbones, forehead, nose and jawline. I blend well using the same brush and add more product a little at a time if I think I need it.  This bronzer can also be used on the body and I like to take it down onto the neck and collarbone.

It contains Hyaluronic acid and pro-vitamin D3 to hydrate skin as well as improving the skin's appearance.

If you like a glowy bronzed look and like to use cream blusher this is definitely the product for you, also an excellent choice if you have mature or drier skin rather than using a powder bronzer.

The best bit is it lasts up to 16 hours and is sweat/humidity proof and in the 40 degree heat in the UK this week it didn't budge and certainly passed the test.

This cream bronzer gives such a gorgeous sun-kissed look... I absolutely love it!!  Firmly staying in my makeup bag I will not be without it and a definite Friday Fave!

RRP. £42.00

FRIDAY FAVE! LA ROCHE-POSAY TOLERIANE SOFTENING FOAMING GEL

I love a gel facial wash and this one from LA ROCHE-POSAY is my new favourite!
I have been using it for around six months now, I love the feel of it on my skin it actually feels soft as you apply it to your skin.
I take a large pea sized amount into the palm of my hand lather it up with warm water and apply to my face in gentle circular movements rinsing off well.  It removes all traces of makeup leaving skin feeling refreshed and gently cleansed.
This is great for anyone who has sensitive skin as it is hypoallergenic, suitable for normal/combination intolerant and sensitive skin and is ph 5.5.




Interesting facts!

*Toleriane is the first skincare range to be given the Seal of Approval by Allegy UK

*9/10 Dermatologists would recommend La Roche-Posay for sensitive skin


RRP £12.50 150ml

Friday Fave! Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Bronzer

Finally Charlotte Tilbury launches the Airbrush Bronzer... oh this has been so long overdue for me I have been waiting for this product since the beauty range launched!  I have moaned to my mum, my friends, my clients and even messaged Charlotte herself on Instagram some years ago now asking for a bronzing powder.
I am overjoyed that finally it is here and I have it! Don't get me wrong, Filmstar Bronze & Glow is great in fact the bronzer is the best shade of bronzer around as far as I am concerned but I am constantly left with half used highlighters, and with no bronzer refills for this item it works out expensive and wasteful... I must have about eight in my drawer now all half used! At last I can just buy and apply the new bronzing powder and the best bit...it is REFILLABLE (refills launch in the summer)!!



At 16g it is a fairly large compact of bronzing powder suitable for face and body to give a matte natural sun-kissed glow.  The packaging itself is as always beautiful, it is literally a joy to behold!
The colour is great, I absolutely love it... definitely my new favourite bronzer!



Available in four shades for all skin tones fair, medium, tan and deep.  I purchased medium as this will be perfect for most of my clients (fair to medium skin tones), but for now it is firmly in my makeup bag and there it may remain!

Fast facts!

Smoothing and pore-blurring as it is Hyaluronic infused.

Fine-as-air finely milled pigments to blur the appearance of pores and smooth.

Silky mica treated with amino acids to impart a silky smooth, long-lasting feel on the skin.

Micro-fine perfecting powders deliver an invisibly thin, silky filter on the skin to add depth of colour and coverage.

Friday Fave! Kryolan Isopropyl Alcohol

I have long used Isopropyl alcohol for cleaning make-up brushes and sanitising my tools.  It is multi-purpose solvent used for a multitude of applications in make-up artistry.
For any Make-up artists that do not have this in their kit already, definitely add this as when we all return to work hygiene will be of more importance than ever before going forward.
At the beginning of the current COVID -19 situation in the UK I quickly ordered another can from Charles H Fox in Covent Garden https://uk.kryolan.com.  I ordered online and it arrived super fast by the next morning! Sadly I used it last weekend at a wedding which will be my last job for a while until the situation improves.
