But then I was always more of a Pulp fan.Ĭomments on this piece are premoderated to ensure the discussion remains on the topics raised by the article. Each is the dream foundation for someone, although neither is my own holy grail. Putting aside both brands’ claims of short-term hydrating properties (neither had any discernible effect on that front) and long-term skin benefits (I am never convinced by this from anyone – I don’t buy that modern women apply the same foundation seven mornings a week over a sustained period, or that they would work even if that were the case), and judging the two solely on application and finish, I would say McGrath’s is modern and fresh, while Tilbury’s is glamorous and perfecting. This is emphatically not a product for creating the natural look, but for high-octane, red-carpet skin. This does precisely as promised, camouflaging blemishes and inconsistent tone with smooth, glowy, even colour – too even, in fact, for some. ![]() Fans of a full, flawless matt coverage (not me) will want Tilbury’s foundation. McGrath’s foundation is buildable: at first blend, it’s light (literally – I barely felt it), sheer, almost naked-looking another layer delivers a more polished medium coverage, but that is as far as it goes. These skincare make-up hybrid formulas usually offer a sheer finish, in turn ruling out anyone who prefers full coverage, so we were intrigued by the foundation’s medium, buildable finish, as it could provide the perfect harmony between skincare benefits and a flawless base.Coverage and finish is where they are miles apart. It’s a serious cocktail of skincare ingredients, we’ve never seen so many in a foundation formula. Other standout ingredients include brightening rose water, coconut extract which helps the skin hold water and aid its barrier over time, and anti-pollutant defences that protect and strengthen the skin. This is music to the ears or someone with acne scarring, enlarged pores and other texture. There’s two patented complexes at work too: “bix’activ” looks to reduce oiliness and the appearance of shine and pores, while “hyalurosmooth” claims to even out texture, and reduce dryness and dullness, resulting in plumper, even skin. Much like many other Charlotte Tilbury products, this foundation is infused with hydrating powerhouse hyaluronic acid, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Read on to find out how the luxury brand’s latest foundation fared on our skin. Thanks to our oily, acne-prone complexion, we usually favour full coverage, but with the rise in glowy formulas that “look like skin”, we’re willing to branch out, particularly for a foundation that features so many skin nourishing ingredients. Its airbrush flawless foundation (£34, ), a full coverage matte formula, has remained our favourite heavy duty base product since its launch back in 2019. The brand has a newfound focus on hybrid formulas after launching its primer-turned-SPF in the summer of 2021.Īside from its coveted lipsticks and “magic” skincare, Charlotte Tilbury’s foundation range is one of its most popular lines. We’re always skeptical of a make-up product that claims to improve your skin health as you wear it, but Charlotte Tilbury never shies away from ambitious assertions, and has undertaken clinical trials to back these results up. With Kate Moss being the face of the new foundation, it’s clear the brand is going big for 2022. After spotting a gap in the market for a medium coverage option that features skincare benefits, the brand created “beautiful skin” (£34, ), a foundation that claims to deliver a hydrated, plumper smoother and brighter complexion, all while providing 16-hour wear. Forever ahead of the curve, Charlotte Tilbury is tapping into this ongoing trend with its latest foundation formula that was three years in the making. ![]()
