Charlotte Tilbury’s innovative new highlighter
Inspired by old Hollywood camera tricks, the newest addition to Charlotte’s Tilbury’s beloved highlighter selection is described by the makeup artist as a ‘glow innovation’. The Hollywood Glow Glide Face Architect Highlighter is available in seven pearlescent shades, each designed to diffuse, lift and illuminate when applied to the cheeks, nose, jawline, eyes and lips. Join us for a deep dive into your new makeup must-have.
The formula
Encased in a gold compact, this product is the perfect cross between a buildable pressed-powder formula and blendable liquid highlighter. Moisturizing emollients like squalane ensure a second-skin feel and comfortable wear, while silky mica promises a glitter-free, megawatt veil of radiance.
The spellbinding shades
Charlotte Tilbury has analyzed every hair color, eye color and skin tone to create a range of seven shades, promising a match for every complexion. Beauty lovers can choose from the neutral-pink Pillow Talk Glow, the iridescent ivory of Moonlit Glow, the dazzling sparkle of Champagne Glow, the true-gold hue of Gilded Glow, the sunrise-inspired Rose Gold Glow, the deep gold of Bronze Glow and the coppery, golden-hour tones of Sunset Glow.
The lifting technique
Using a fluffy, tapered brush like the Charlotte Tilbury Powder and Sculpt Brush, apply the Hollywood Glow Glide Face Architect Highlighter from your cheekbones to your temples to achieve a lifted effect. Do the same for your eye area by sweeping the highlighter under the arch of your brows and dotting it above the center of your eyebrow.
The definition tricks
Focusing on the cupid’s bow, brush some highlighter along your upper lip line to create the look of fuller lips. Use your finger to apply the product down the center of your nose, going from the bridge and stopping just before the tip. Dot a small amount right on the tip and blend out with your finger to diffuse the pigment.
The glow essentials
For a radiant complexion that looks lit from within, apply the Hollywood Flawless Filter under or mixed into your foundation. Follow with the medium-coverage Beautiful Skin Foundation for a dewy look, or the Airbrush Flawless Foundation for a matte, full-coverage finish. Sculpt the hollows of your cheeks and temples with the Hollywood Contour Wand. Add sparkle to your cheekbones, cupid’s bow, brow bone and the center of your nose with the Beauty Light Wands liquid highlighter in either Spotlight or Goldgasm, and follow with a sweep of the illuminating Hollywood Glow Glide Face Architect Highlighter for maximum radiance.
