Charlotte Tilbury was founded by the name of the brand. She is a celebrity makeup artist whose expertise has brought out many products of her own, including this famous Magic Cream.
So read on the post to check out my thoughts on the expensive Magic Cream? ( Spoiler alert, I love it but I am not sure about the price point)
Pros
- Multi-Purpose - Primer, Moisturizer
- Makeup lasts longer
- Makes skin luminous
- Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
- Smooths the skin]
- Enriched with ingredients such as peptides, hyaluronic acid and aloe vera
- Some sizes are refillable
Cons
- The price ( starts at £28 for 15ml!)
- Adding too much can make results a little patchy. blending completely is important
So what is Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream?
In simple terms, it's a moisturiser but works best as a makeup primer. It was invented to help keep makeup on models for longer during catwalk shows.
Described on the Charlotte Tilbury website as follows...
· CUSHION & LIFT MESH TECHNOLOGY: a 4% blend of Rosehip Oil which is rich in antioxidant Vitamin F plus skin-cushioning emollients + Oat Extract which is rich in alpha-glucans. Together they soften and smooth the feel of skin and lift the look of facial contours, creating the perfect base for makeup. This technology has been my best-kept secret in my world-famous magic cream, until now! · VITAMIN C & E: to brighten + even the look of skin. · PLUMP EFFECT PEPTIDE COMPLEX: to smooth + plump the look of skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. · HYALURONIC ACID: to keep skin hydrated for up to 24 hours. · ALOE VERA: to help calm, smooth and moisturise the look of skin · FRANGIPANI FLOWER EXTRACT: combines moisturising benefits with a delicate, calming scent. · CAMELLIA OIL: moisturises for a dewy-looking complexion. · SHEA BUTTER: nourishes and softens the skin.
How to Use Magic Cream
You can use it by itself but I like to use it as a makeup primer considering the price point. I apply this all over my face and let it dry before applying my makeup as usual.
How much is it?
There are various sizes to choose from and prices start at £28 for 15ml all the way up to a jaw-dropping £150 for 150ml.
My final thoughts
I love Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream! Unfortunately, mine got stolen with most of my makeup, on the bus home from London ( still no compensation or anything from the bus company!)
I love the jar the cream comes in, it screams luxury which is a good thing! The cream itself works so well at making the skin look more youthful and glowy. As for makeup lasting longer? It sure ticks that off the list. It's the best primer I have ever used ( *cries* I miss it) my makeup always looked flawless using this.
As for repurchasing? Nah I can't just yet, I can't justify it. The price point is too much for my pocket right now. The reason I bought this, was because it was an Eid gift to myself.
My daughter has tried some makeup from this brand and liked it. They seem to have good products. This sounds like a good one to try.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte Tillbury has always felt like a line that, while it might be excellent quality, is a true luxury. It's so pricey!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the magic cream myself yet so it was good to read the review. I do love the sound of this especially the fact that it reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and also helps make up last longer!!
ReplyDeleteI have heard a lot about Charlotte Tillbury and its magic cream but not had the chance to try it myself. Thanks for the tips. I will look forward to getting it and using it in smaller quantities.
ReplyDeleteThat's so bad that yours was stolen, sorry to hear that. I bought a set which included this and the night cream and serum from Bicester Village as a way to try it, but I agree I don't think I could justify the price of the full sized one x
ReplyDeleteCharlotte Tillbury products can be expensive but I must say, they are quality made. I have one of their lipsticks and love it. -Lynndee
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this before, as I am not an avid makeup wearer. However, I know there is truth to high price=high quality... thanks for this review, hopefully things workout with the bus company! -AJ
ReplyDeleteGreat review! I'm intrigued to try it as a primer (I'm always looking for a go-to), but the price is hard to justify. I'm also sorry to hear about your things getting stolen! Hopefully things turn around with the bus company. xx
ReplyDeleteI’ve heard so many good things about Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream! Sounds like a luxurious treat, though the price might make me think twice too!
ReplyDeleteOh thats so sad yours was stolen. I really am sorry to hear that. I do hope you get some compensation back
ReplyDeleteMy girlfriend might like the make up products from the Charlotte Tilbury brand. Got to share this postt with her!
ReplyDeleteThat cream gets so much hype. Some swear by it, while others say it’s overpriced moisturizer. Curious how it worked for you!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting how Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream can work for different skin types. Always wondered if it lives up to the hype.
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like quite a pricy product! Thank you for sharing your honest review.
ReplyDeleteI have not tried the cream yet buy I have few lipsticks from this brand. It’s an expensive brand and I might skip trying it.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe someone stole your make up! I love the sound of this but it's a bit pricey for my budget.
ReplyDeleteThe Charlotte Tillbury Magic Cream sounds like a luxurious product. I feel terrible yours was stolen. Hopefully you are able to grab some in the future.
ReplyDeleteThe Charlotte Tillbury Magic Cream sounds like an interesting makeup product to buy for my girlfriend. Got to ask some of my closest makeup artists about it before buying one
