The Charlotte Tilbury Black Friday sale is always a good one to bookmark with deals typically spanning the make-up artist’s bestselling skincare and make-up. Indeed, from the cult Hollywood flawless filter foundation (£39, Charlottetilbury.com) to the viral contour wand (£30, Charlottetilbury.com), Charlotte Tilbury is our go-to destination for the ultimate face base.

Naturally, with a CT wishlist as long as our arms, we’re thrilled to see the brand’s famed Black Friday offering live. Last year we were treated to 30 per cent off everything, plus half price on the annual sell-out, the Charlotte Tilbury mystery box. This November, while the summer mystery box is now out of stock, our keen detective skills led us to a ‘Black Friday mystery box 2024’ hub page. So, here’s hoping there’s another 50 per cent off beauty box on the horizon as more deals drop by the day.

Though there’s still reductions to come, the Charlotte Tilbury website Black Friday bonanza has kicked off with some mega deals, including up to 30 per cent off plus two for one on a selection of customer faves – so scroll on for our top picks ahead of Black Friday weekend.

The Charlotte Tilbury beautiful skin foundation is a top pick if you’re after a lightweight yet buildable skin tint. It’s creamy, easy to blend and, when tested in our review, we found that it “lasted nearly as well as our favourite full coverage foundations,” adding that “this is impressive considering you’d usually have to give up longwear for a glowy finish”. Together with the bestselling beauty light wand in your choice of shade, you’ll be left with a smoothed, glowy complexion from dawn till dusk.

If you’re even more subtle coverage than the beautiful skin formula above, then the Hollywood flawless filter foundation will be just the ticket for you. In our review (versus a Collection-brand dupe), we described how it “blurs any imperfections perfectly and leaves your skin looking as though it’s fresh from a facial”. Paired with the more concealing airbrush flawless for those sweat-heavy nights out or eight-hour office days, you’ll be equipped for all scenarios – even a pesky pimple with the magic away concealer.

The two for one beauty icons deal is the latest addition to Charlotte Tilbury’s Black Friday bonanza – and this one doesn’t disappoint. Reviewing the beautiful skin cream formula in my guide to the best bronzers, it was in fact my favourite of all the cream-textured products. I explained how it’s the product is “forgiving in terms of blending and is versatile enough to use without foundation as a light sweep of colour”. Grab it now with a whopping 50 per cent discount.

If you’ve not tried the Charlotte Tilbury airbrush flawless pressed powder, then take this as your sign to give it a go. It’s so finely milled that it seamlessly sets your face base without caking and, as far as using it on the move goes, it’s pretty hardy and crack-proof even after being lugged about day after day. If you suffer with midday shine or patchy foundation, this duo will be the solution to your woes and is even more lucritive with 20 per cent off.

As setting sprays go, airbrush flawless has got to be one of the best we’ve tried. It’s so good that it was awarded our best buy title in our guide to the best setting sprays and, therein, our reviewer remarked how “it offers a finish somewhere between matte and glowy, in that we saw refreshed radiance but without overt dewiness or a powder-like finish.” This and the brand’s renowned magic cream will make for a your-skin-but-better finish and, with a generous 30 per cent off, now’s the perfect time to snap them up for yourself or a luxury Christmas gift.

Last but certainly not least, the Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk range offers shoppers the sort of ‘just bitten’ colour that’s hard to pinpoint. The brand acheives this perfectly for fair skin in the original shade and, with the included medium fill shade, we imagine the same would be true of darker skin tones (watch this space for future testing...). With 20 per cent off right now, consider your Christmas party pout sorted.

One of the most popular cream blushes, Charlotte Tilbury’s pillow talk wands not only allow precise application with their fluffy puff applicators, but they pack a pigment punch, too. I tested the pillow talk peach shade from this year’s (now sold out) Cult Beauty advent calendar, finding it to be creamy, easy to blend and, in terms of finish, the perfect flush of colour. Now, in this two for one deal, you can top up your own stash and gift another to a lucky loved one (or not).

While I haven’t tested the brightening formula of Tilbury’s best-selling airbrush flawless compact, the OG setting powder is one of my favourite products to give my make-up a long-lasting finish. Now, with this buy one get one free deal I’m keen to try this ‘light-bouncing’ iteration, particularly on the duller areas of my under-eyes.
