If you’re a fan of high end makeup, then Charlotte Tilbury may already be on your radar. Recently Charlotte Tilbury has released some quite exciting beauty products which I was recently sent to review. The Filmstar Bronze and Blush Glow palette and the new lipstick Opium Noir.
The Filmstar Bronze and Blush Glow
This face palette is intended to give a soft contour and subtle pink glow on the cheeks. It contains a bronzer shade which incorporates pearls and pigments that help you contour your face whilst mimicking a sun-kissed skin finish. The blusher also contains pearls in the shade pink for a more flushed look. Alongside the complexion shades, the face palette also contains the Mini Artistry Blush Brush which is a small fluffy brush which allows for an easier application.
The overall concept of the Filmstar Bronze and Brush Glow palette is to create a natural glow. It’s a palette for those who prefer to have a more subtle look, and would be great for everyday use. One thing to note is that this is for people with light to medium skin tones. As I have a deeper skin tone, the bronze just did not work for me at all. However, as it has a subtle glow, I found I could use it as a natural highlighter. The pink tone would work very well on light to medium skin tones, but also worked on my deeper skin tone.
I won’t be too critical of this palette as it is marketed for light to medium skin tones. However, I would have loved to see a palette released alongside this one that worked for deeper skin tones. I think a deep plum or deep coral blusher and a deeper / redder bronzer would work great for deeper skin tones. Hopefully the deeper palette will be released soon!
Matte Revolution Opium Noir Lipstick
The Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks are among one of my favourite lipstick formulas. I find them to be quite long-lasting and can also be quite moisturising on the lips (even the matte lipsticks). When I received the new Opium Noir lipstick I was very excited to be adding it to my collection.
Opium Noir is described as a ‘…divine deep berry crimson shade…‘ which was influenced by the Film Noir era. You can definitely get the sense that Charlotte Tilbury had a sexy screen siren in mind when curating this shade! The lipstick also contains rich oils and anti-oxidants to aid in the appearance and overall health of your lips. It’s definitely quite a moisturising lipstick, which gives a soft matte finish. It’s also a long lasting colour, which is quite pigmented with one swipe (although it does need to be layered for full opacity).
The Opium Noir lipstick works for any skin tone, and is a great alternative to a traditional bright red lipstick. It’s a lipstick shade I’ll definitely be wearing a lot more this winter and spring.
The Filmstar Bronze and Blush Glow palette retails for £60 and can be found here. The Opium Noir Lipstick retails for £24 and can be found here. You can see how each of these products apply on different skin tones on the Charlotte Tilbury website.

That lipstick shade is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve never tried Charlotte Tilbury make-up but that bronzer and blush one looks right up my street! I’m really trying to learn more about make-up now!

It’s a beautiful collection! Definitely try it out!
Never tried this brand (doesn’t sell for I live) but I heard about it from many make up artists (I used to be one ages ago) and now I just CRAVE that lipstick shade you tried! it’s amazing! I am going to dig around and see where I can order it from.

Hopefully you can find it!
It is beautiful and I must spend more on my make up. Thanks for sharing and getting me to think a little more about make up

Definitely find what works for you! Charlotte Tilbury does have that classic feel to it!
I always see the Filmstar and glow palette but it’s usually on paler skin tones. Glad to see there is a deeper shade though! I love the Dolce Vita Luxury palette from them, it’s been my go-to palette!

Thank you!
That lipstick is definitely my shade – I looo much better with berry undertones. I reckon the palette would suit my skin tone too. Will have to investigate…
Author
Oh glad you like it!
I just adore Charlotte Tilbury make up! I love natural looking make up and I always find Charlotte Tilbury perfect for that style. The packaging is so pretty as well!

It is gorgeous! x
I absolutely adore that shade of lipstick. I always find Charlotte Tilbury makeup worth every penny.
Author
That lipstick is my fave! x
I’m blonde but I think the lipstick is just gorgeous and I’m tempted to give it a go! x
Author
Oh you should! I’m sure it’ll look stunning on you! x
I’ve gotten a bit braver with lipstick recently and this looks gorgeous!!
Not heard of this brand before but I love the lipstick colour. Looks really lovely and looks amazing against your beautiful skin tone. It’s a shame they don’t have a colour pallet to suit your skin tone but hopefully they will soon.
Author
Thank you! Yes I hope they do too! x
I’ve never heard of Charlotte Tilbury either but I love the Filmstar bronze and glow. I agree that the lipstick is a gorgeous shade and suits your skin tone beautifully!

Thank you!
Girl your photos are to die for!
Author
Aww thank you!
I have heard of Charlotte Tilbury make-up…I usually buy more high street brands but would love to try this!
Author
I love drugstore makeup too! I do love to dabble in high end from time to time! x
These products look so luxurious! X
Author
They really are! x
These look lovely. That lipstick shade really has that “screen siren” feel.
Author
It does 🙂 x
I hope that they create a deeper ‘glow palette’ for you as I think that it is important to create diversity in the make up world. The lipstick looks lovely x
Author
You are very right! Fingers crossed they bring out darker shades!
Your photos are amazing! They really highlight the products–and that lip color…so gorgeous! I haven’t used Charlotte Tilbury yet, but it’s definitely on my radar now!
Author
Aww thank you!
I loved the shade of your lipstick. Definitely, something that I can try out for myself and something good to ditch the classic red!!
Author
The lipstick is gorgeous! x
The opium noir lipstick looks like such a stunning shade. The palette is really pretty but it does look a little too bright for me x
Author
The lipstick is stunning! The blush is quite bright but I think it definitely can be applied quite sheer. But I also prefer a much deeper blusher tone x
I am not really into make up but goodness these look so good! I love the lipstick shade and would definitely buy it. Kaz

I very rarely wear makeup so would never dream of spending more than a tenner on lipstick or something but these products do look and sounds really beautiful. I love how you’ve styled all your photos too xx
