Charlotte Tilbury is participating in Amazon’s Big Deal Days on October 6-7, with seriously stellar discounts. Bestsellers ranging from the iconic Lip Cheat lip liners to the editor-adored Beauty Light Wands are marked down up to 40% off for the online shopping event, making it the perfect time to restock your ride-or-die favorites or finally try that product that you’ve been eyeing for ages.
There’s a reason the British makeup artist’s products are so highly coveted. Beyond the luxurious, Old Hollywood-inspired packaging and iconic shades (case in point: Pillow Talk, the most famous nude shade in all of beauty), the formulas deliver the kind of long-wearing, high-performance results that have earned them a permanent spot in our beauty routines. (On top of that, the brand is a mainstay in any wedding day glam kit and a go-to of celebrity makeup artists, too.) Better yet, the brand rarely goes on sale, making this an extra special occurrence.
Below, Refinery29’s beauty editors share the Charlotte Tilbury deals worth adding to your cart during the limited-time event.
DashDividers_1_500x100 Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Pillow Talk, $28 $22.40“No matter how many lip liners I try, I always come back to Charlotte Tilbury’s Lip Cheat. It’s the easiest to apply and one of the longest-lasting formulas I’ve used. In my experience, creamier lip liners tend to fade faster, so I like that this one has a slightly waxier texture, giving you more control during application while still being easy to blend. It grips to my lip line like Velcro and lasts well past lunchtime, often making it into the afternoon before I even think about topping it up. My go-to shade is Pillow Talk Medium, which has a browner undertone than the original Pillow Talk (the latter is a little too pink on me). I love how it subtly enhances my Cupid’s bow, making it look more defined and softly sculpted.” — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director
Beauty Light Wand Glowgasm in Pinkgasm, $44 $35.20“By now, you can probably tell that half my makeup bag is made up of Charlotte Tilbury products, and one thing it’s always stocked with is Beauty Light Wands in various shades. My two favorites are Pinkgasm and Peachgasm, though Peachgasm is undoubtedly my shade of the summer. It’s pigmented enough to create a believable flush on the cheeks, while the shimmer adds a dewy glow and dimension that looks radiant rather than glittery. Every time I wear it, I get compliments on my makeup. It’s also one of the rare cream blushes that doesn’t disappear into the skin after a few hours, so I never feel the need to reapply. There’s a reason it’s a go-to for brides! The sponge-tip applicator makes it incredibly easy to dab onto the cheeks, forehead, and nose for a seamless, sun-kissed look. One tip: always remember to twist the applicator to “off” after use, otherwise it’s all too easy to waste precious product.” — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director
Hollywood Blush & Glow (Rich Terracotta Blush/Golden Sunset Highlighter), $29 $20.30“Don’t let the mini size fool you: There’s a surprising amount of product packed into these pans. I’ve had mine for over a year and have barely made a dent because the formula is seriously pigmented — a little goes a very long way. It’s also one of my favorite makeup bag staples for travel, since full-size face palettes can take up precious space. While I’m not usually a highlighter person, this one delivers the prettiest candlelit glow that looks incredibly natural when applied with a light hand. I’ll even dust it across my eyelids as a shimmery eyeshadow to pull my whole look together. And at under $20 for Prime Day, it’s a no-brainer addition to this year’s haul.” — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Beauty Writer
Matte Beauty Blush Wand in Pillow Talk, $44 $35.20“If shimmer isn’t your thing, consider Charlotte’s Matte Blush Wands. I attended a bride and bridesmaid makeup tutorial recently at the brand’s London flagship store, and these were the finishing touch in every look. They add life back into my skin after foundation, and I’m always surprised by how highly pigmented they are, despite being suspended in a creamy, moisturizing base. One small dot on each cheek is enough to blend across the entire area. I rarely powder over it because the matte pigment really clings to the skin, but if you’re out and about or getting ready for a special occasion and want your makeup to last for hours on end, a light dusting of translucent powder will help lock it in. I’ve had my shade, Pillow Talk, for almost a year, and it’s still going strong.” — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director
Charlotte’s Magic Water Cream, $69 $55.20“I’ll be honest, Charlotte’s Magic Cream is much too rich for my breakout-prone skin. The Water Magic Cream, on the other hand, is better suited and makes for an excellent base under makeup. While it feels like you’re wearing nothing on the skin, it’s packed with a handful of star moisturizing ingredients: glycerin, squalane, and shea butter. These leave my skin feeling soft and dewy, not slippery or greasy, so foundation, concealer, and powder apply over it really easily.
I stand firm in the belief that a moisturized, hydrated base helps makeup last longer, and I like to use this as a primer, though it’s also just a brilliant day-to-day moisturizer. It’s lightweight enough to be worn under sunscreen in the morning and paired with a retinoid or exfoliating serum in the evening. I’ve been through two tubs.” — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director
