Charlotte Tilbury

THE ARTISTS Laurence Keating (Brown Thomas Cork), Kirstie Murphy and

Naomi Mirrelle (Brown Thomas Dublin).

THE DEAL Full makeover with purchase of any two products.

THE EXPERIENCE Sitting down in the middle of Busáras might be a more tranquil setting, but once in the hands of one of the the senior pro team, it’s worth the chaos of the Charlotte Tilbury counter. The next hour is nirvana for CT devotees, as you get the whole shebang, from cleanser and clay mask to Magic Cream. Expectations are managed, thanks to the gallery of make-up “looks” you can select (and maybe slightly amend) ahead of starting, so each MUA knows what you’re hoping for. Then, it’s layer after layer of great Tilbury heroes. You’ll discover the benefits of Hollywood Flawless Filter, Bar of Gold, and Glowgasm; and learn to eyeline like a pro (a sharp point is key). It’s inevitable you’ll also leave in a cloud of Scent of a Dream, and calling everyone “darling”. Seriously, though, I don’t know a woman who isn’t enchanted by all things Tilbury at the moment, so this is a great chance to see what works for you. I’ve visited the Charlotte Tilbury counter on a number of occasions this year, and the results have always generated most engagement on the resulting Instagram posts.

HERO PRODUCTS Magic Foundation, Hollywood Flawless Filter, Magic Away concealer, anything Pillow Talk, and

The Sophisticate eye palette are all winners.

WHAT I CHANGED Nothing, except my plans for the night.
