Hollywood Highlighters: Charlotte Tilbury’s Newest Secret To Getting That Red Carpet Glow

Charlotte Tilbury brings us another dose of cinematic magic with her Hollywood Highlighters; the next cult classic staple you’ll be wearing during your main character moments…

A candlelit look, filtered luminosity, lit-from within skin; capturing that effortless radiance we see during award season proves to be harder than you think – with mishaps leading to chunky streaks of glitter across the bridge of one’s nose and cheekbones. It’s a look we so often leave to the experts, forgoing it all together from our daily make-up regimes, but one celebrity make-up artist has cracked the code to making brilliantly healthy-looking skin accessible to all…

The Queen of Glow herself, Charlotte Tilbury, has unveiled her newest miracle product that will quickly become a make-up bag staple – a line of highlighters that seemingly have harnessed the power of cinematic lighting, that velvety flawlessness, that sheer brilliance that feels impossible to achieve without professional help. 

Introducing Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Highlighters

The award-winning make-up artist is a force of nature to be reckoned with; in a recent interview with Bazaar Arabia, she reveals how her journey working on set in Tinsel town was, ultimately, her masterclass in understanding how to create a flawless goddess-like glow for her red carpet clients.

First noticing how A-listers often seemed to be dehydrated (probably due to all that travel), which was reflected in their skin, she started developing her famous Magic Cream in cooperation with professional scientists. After the product became an incredible success amongst some of the biggest names in the entertainment world, Charlotte took on the adventure to dive in deeper into the creation of hydrating and illuminating products. “

“I’d be fixing formulas like an alchemist all the time, because I couldn’t get what I wanted on the market,” she explains.

Being able to get up close with the magicians who control the picture-perfect illusion with their cameras and professional lighting – DOPs, Directors and Cinematographers – the make-up-artist-turned-entrepreneur learned how to manipulate light with the help of products, ones which flatter all skin tones and types.

“I’m always like a light thief, a DNA thief, I’m always going around, like how do I take that and bottle it?” says Charlotte, stressing how important it is for her as a beauty brand founder to combine innovation with her knowledge to create a glass-like, super smooth skin through the help of make-up.

Of course, she applied this ethos when creating her newest baby, the Hollywood Highlighters range.

Available in seven different shades, from Rose Gold Glow to Pillowtalk Glow, her Hollywood Highlighters make it easy to get that red carpet-ready, star power-infused skin on the regular whilst ensuring everyone gets the colour they desire.

“I’m always about democratizing make-up, making everyone look and feel like the most beautiful versions of themselves and making it easy for real women everywhere – and men – around the world to get the Hollywood tricks,” Charlotte says, sharing how she puts years of research and love into developing her line – and this new range of glowtastic highlighters is no exception.

From pearl-pressed pigments and wet powder technology, the formula melts into the skin, bringing out that shimmering luminescence we would be otherwise only able to see on the likes of Salma Hayek, Jennifer Aniston and the Hadid twins.
