Charlotte Tilbury x Norman Parkinson Collection…Available NOW!

A quintessential blend of gorgeous makeup emblazoned with iconic images, the Charlotte Tilbury x Norman Parkinson Collection is now available on charlottetilbury.com.  I have professed my love for this stunning beauty line many times over (HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE) and, completely drawn in by the allure of glowy skin, pinky nude lips and an homage to fashion photography of days gone by, I couldn’t help but order a few key pieces this morning!

• Two Matte Revolution Lipsticks in Miss 1975 Red (a rich, neutral red) and Miss Kensington (a pale, pinky nude cream).  
• Official details: 
  
  
  MATTE REVOLUTION LIPSTICK: Charlotte Tilbury breaks new ground with Matte Revolution, the matte lipstick of
  the future. This unique formula is enriched with new-generation 3D glowing pigments for lips that look lit-from-
  within and an optical ‘matte–trick’ to create the appearance of wider, fuller lips. Enriched with orchid extract for
  antioxidant, SPF protection and hydration and seed extracts from “The Lipstick Tree,” a plant extract first brought to
  market by Charlotte Tilbury, Matte Revolution does not dry the lips and stays put, unlike most other matte lipsticks. It
  has the feel of a nourishing balm but is power-packed with pigments for a high-performance finish that enables you to
  build up colour from a stain to a full block of pigment.
  
  Available in:
  

  • *1975 Red – this classic 70s sunset red embodies the fun, naughty, glamourous time of the era. It is inspired by
    

    Jerry Hall shot on Montego Bay. This was Jerry Hall’s first Vogue cover and this year marks its 40th
    anniversary. The tone of this Lichtenstein Pop Art shade is made relevant for today with a modern, fresh and
    chic matte texture. Partner it with bronzed skin and a summer glow.
    

  • *Miss Kensington – this shade is inspired by the quintessentially English “haughty but naughty” look of
    swinging 60s Chelsea & Kensington. It’s a pretty English rose pink that works well on fairer skin tones and
    perfectly encapsulates that era but with the most up-to-date, long-lasting formulas. 

 

 

• Two makeup bags in vinyl, the perfect “toss in your beach bag” material! 
• Official details: 
  
  
  (1) ON CALL’ MAKEUP BAG: The perfect makeup bag to house your summer collection, featuring the iconic Jerry
  Hall image from Jamaica: Love At First Sight…A Holiday Romance.  JERRY HALL, shot on Montego Bay, Jamaica
  

  
  
  “This is a reference that I return to again and again. Jerry has long been a global beauty icon with her pools of crystal
  blue eyes, luscious lips and flowing golden locks, and I really wanted to celebrate her as a Parkinson muse. Parkinson’s
  ability to capture light hugely influences how I think about makeup. As an artist, a lot of my tricks start with a play
  on light and dark to enhance and re-shape the facial framework. This new cream texture contouring palette is
  inspired by the natural fall of sun light and shade on one’s face and can help you cheat what I call glowing Holiday
  Skin, every day.” Charlotte Tilbury 
  
  
  

  (2) THE BATHING BEAUTY BAG: The Bathing Beauty bag has two inner pockets and a waterproof vinyl finish. 
  
  
  

  “I have always loved this image – it’s classic 1970s Norman Parkinson glamour. At the time, shooting in the Soviet
  Union was prohibited, so Parkinson shot Jerry in secret on the edge of the Black Sea, with crowds watching. The shot
  has an incredible composition which works perfectly on this bathing beauty clutch-come-wash bag. It’s what I call a 24
  hour bag – perfect to take to the beach in the summer, packed with makeup, skin and suncare, then out to dinner and
  to party with, and looks just as good in your bathroom the morning after. Your ideal companion to makeup, party,
  sleep, repeat with! I will wear it out with a dress and killer summer sandals and use it as a clutch – it’s like wearing a
  work of art on your arm every day.” Charlotte Tilbury

  Transition your skin from winter to a golden summer in one easy swipe.
  Dreamy Glow is a soft, moodlit Youth Highlighter for “peaches and cream,” dreamy skin. It’s the perfect blend of
  pearl and pigment to enhance your complexion, scattering light and opalescence across your features for a
  youthful, soft, glow. It’s a softer, more ambient lighting effect compared to Filmstar Bronze & Glow, which has a
  spot-lit skin look.
  
  With golden, mother of pearl tones: the highlighting youth powder uses light flex technology to
  capture light and radiate it out across the skin for a pretty. Dreamy soft-focussed effect.
  
  Apply to the top of the cheekbones, down the centre of the nose and on the cupid’s bow with my Powder and
  Sculpt Brush for youthful, peaches and cream, glowing skin.

  This pretty pink hue for lips and cheeks works with all skin tones.
