We Tested Charlotte Tilbury’s New Foundation & Setting Spray—Obsessed
Photo Courtesy of Charlotte TilburyLet’s be real: I love New York, but between the sweltering subway platforms, long office days, back-to-back events, and late-night concerts, my makeup usually waves the white flag by hour six. So when Charlotte Tilbury announced the launch of the new Airbrush Flawless Foundation, Matte Setting Spray, and Life Changing Lip Mask, I knew I had to put them through the city’s toughest beauty test.
I started my day with the Airbrush Flawless Foundation, and wow, it’s truly a 3D-matte (not flat!) miracle. It blurred my pores, softened texture, and gave me that Instagram-filter look IRL, without ever feeling heavy or cakey. The formula is waterproof, transfer-proof, and comes in 44 shades, which means it didn’t budge through a sweaty subway ride or multiple coffee runs.
Next, I locked it all in with the Matte Setting Spray, which promises 16-hour oil and shine control. By the time I made it from desk to dinner to the concert pit, my skin still looked fresh. No melting, no fading, no creasing, just flawless coverage that outlasted even my energy levels.
And while my complexion stayed put, my lips got a major upgrade too. The Life Changing Lip Mask (in their iconic Pillow Talk, of course) kept them soft, plump, and hydrated with a dewy glow that lasted long after my last cocktail.
Final verdict? Charlotte Tilbury’s new drop is officially subway-proof, cocktail-proof, and concert-proof—and I’m fully obsessed.
I was skeptical about the 16-hour wear claim, but consider me converted. My skin stayed matte, smooth, and camera-ready until I finally washed it off.
Forget cakey matte finishes, this new formula is all about that soft, blurred effect that looks like you’ve Facetuned your face in real life. Pro tip: Don't forget to take the color match quiz to get the perfect shade for your skin tone.
My lips have never felt so soft, smooth, and downright kissable. Of course, Charlotte Tilbury made her cult-fave Pillow Talk shade into a lip mask. And yes, it’s as dreamy as you’d imagine.
This clear, glow-boosting mask is like a soft-focus filter just for your lips. It hydrates, plumps, and smooths without adding color, allowing your natural lip tone to take center stage.
