| The *Charlotte Beauty Glow Tilbury Instant Look in a Palette. |
The *Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Glow Instant Look in a Palette (also available at Nordstrom, Beautylish, Bergdorf Goodman and Selfridges) is perhaps my favorite Instant Look in a Palette yet. The shades are buildable and pigmented with a rosy neutral leaning that is ultra-flattering. My love for rose-gold hues hasn’t been a secret here at BP so my praise for this palette is plentiful!
In terms of how of how I like to apply the shades, I start by using a bit of the pearly beige #1 Eye Brighten to even my eye lids. Then I sweep the lush bronze #2 Eye Enhance all over my upper lids and along my lower lash line for continuity. I take a touch of the #3 Eye Smoke and buff it into the crease; this warm matte brown shade has exceptional color payoff and a little, consequently, goes a long way. I finished the eye look with two coats of the Sisley-Paris So Intense Mascara (reviewed HERE) and, truly, the entire process takes under two minutes. I replicated my steps in my car earlier today and confirm that this palette is on-the-go friendly!
For the face, I use my *Surratt Beauty Artististique Cheek Brush (reviewed HERE) to pick up the pale brown #4 Face Bronze and sweep it along the hollows of my cheeks. This light tan has absolutely no orange tones…the neutrality is refreshing, indeed. Then, I swirled the rich burnished blush #5 Cheek Swish along my cheeks for additional intensity…this shade is spectacular and I also found that it works well to impart a rosy sheen on the eyes! A bit of the cool pink #6 Cheek Pop looks resplendent on the apples of the cheeks for a fresh, doll-like effect. Finally, I applied the soft champagne #6 Face Highlight along the high points of my face (upper cheek bones, brow bones and the down the bridge of my nose) for an incandescent radiance that glows without the slightest nuance of conspicuity.
All in all, this palette is utilitarian and effortless, making it a must for Charlotte Tilbury lovers, those in a perpetual hurry and individuals with an affinity for rose gold alike…it’s streamlined beauty exemplified!

To resonate with the current warm rays of the sun, I have been embracing the resplendent *Tom Ford Mandarino di Alma Acqua (also available at Neiman Marcus and Sephora). A breathtaking fusion of fragrant citrus, fresh oceanic and decadent floral notes, this juice feels like a chic Italian summer vacation in an azure bottle.

To further increase a natural glow, I still adore the *Jordan Seban L’Huile (reviewed HERE), which nourishes skin and hair with a delicate, all-natural shine that looks and feels as opulent as it sounds. For lips, I’ve been reaching for the *Chantecaille Lip Potion Balm (also available at Neiman Marcus and Space NK); often sold out, this cult favorite features a lush melange of essential oils with no added fragrance or other offenders for plump and moisturized lips with a muted radiance.

For the rest of the face, I used the:
- *Sisley-Paris Tinted Sunscreen Cream in Golden (reviewed HERE and also available at Net-A-Porter, Beautylish and Neiman Marcus): With the Southern California sunshine has returned in full force, my love for this medium to full coverage base with substantial physical sunscreen SPF 30 protection has been reignited. It smoothes on with a natural matte finish that makes skin look fresh and healthy and lasts for 10+ touch up-free hours. Perhaps the most fuss-free base in my rotation!
- *Stellar Beauty Limitless Concealer (reviewed HERE): As my skin gets a touch darker, this light-medium beige hue brightens the under eye area without looking conspicuous; this concealer has a lovely lightweight texture while still offering pigmented coverage.
- *Giorgio Armani Lip Magnet Liquid Lipstick in #503 Glow (reviewed HERE and also available at Giorgio Armani Beauty and Sephora): I forgot how much I love this brighter (for me) peachy red shade. Utterly weightless with significant color payoff, this modern lip color formula acts as a hydrating and opaque stain and the vibrant hue of #503 Glow looks incredible with a bit of a tan. While we’re on the subject of tans, the LE Armani Sunrise Face Palette (reviewed HERE) is now available at Giorgio Armani Beauty and, since so many of you have been early anticipating its arrival, I wanted to make sure you knew! Full feature coming up soon ; )

Is there a dupe for the bronzer from the Beauty Glow palette?
Hello and thanks for your question; the closest dupe in my experience would be the Giorgio Armani Sun Fabric Bronzer #100…it's a pale brown tan with a similar finish.
Hope that helps!
