Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look in a Palette Review and Swatches - Gorgeous Glowing Beauty, Stoned Rose Beauty, Smokey Eye Beauty
Hey everyone, I’m not sure why I haven’t posted swatches of these palettes before, but now that I realize that, I will do so! These palettes are limited edition so the first ones are not available anymore. From mt knowledge of the time I’m writing this, only Gorgeous Glowing Beauty and Stoned Rose Beauty are still available, but I will also post swatches of the Smokey Eye Beauty as well in case it is still available somewhere that I don’t know of.
These palettes are perfect for travelling, since they have mostly neutral eyeshadow shades, and very easy to wear blushes, bronzer and highlighter which completes a look in minutes. The quality is good, I got nothing to complain about at all. Collecting these was so much fun for me, and so I haven’t gotten round to bring them on my vacations yet. But I will in the future definitely!
I also did video swatches o the 3 palettes, so you can check it out below, I’m on Youtube as Princess Peach.
First up is the Gorgeous Glowing Beauty Palette
Brand’s description: Limited edition palette for a gorgeous, glowing look on the go! Darlings, beautify your face in a flash with the most alluring shades of the holiday season!
My Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look in a Palette Gorgeous Glowing Beauty features the most mesmerising, rich shades to instantly create a spellbinding glow. This is a fresh, gorgeous makeup look in a 7-shade palette for eyes, face and cheeks! Sculpt and define your complexion with effortless ease and prepare to dance the night away! This is everything you need to mesmerise the world in a palette…
WHAT MAKES IT MAGIC?
EYE BRIGHTEN: A shimmering, frosted pink to brighten your eyes!
EYE ENHANCE: A mesmeric mauve-blush shimmer to enhance!
EYE SMOKE: A magical pink-maroon matte for a smouldering gaze!
FACE BRONZE: A warming, sun-kissed bronzer for red carpet cheekbones!
CHEEK SWISH: A pretty champagne pink blush for a gorgeous kiss of colour.
CHEEK POP: A warm rose-pink for happy, healthy-looking cheeks!
FACE HIGHLIGHT: A dreamy golden highlight to add instant light to your complexion
How to Apply
For a subtle daytime makeup look, start by applying the Eye Brighten shade all over your lid for using the Blender Brush.
Then use the Enhance shade along your eyelid for added dreamy dimension!
Using the Smudger Brush, dip it into the Smoke shade and run across the upper lash line, adding on the lower lash line if you want to add intensity to your gaze.
Lightly dust your face with the Sculpt shade to give you that natural sun-kissed look and highlight along your cheekbones and t-zone with the Highlight shade. Swish and Pop the cheek colour on for a natural flush.
To dial up your look for the evening, blend the Smoke shade across the upper eyelid crease using the Blender Brush. Use the Smudger Brush to bring your Smoke shade along the upper and lower lash line.
The eyeshadows lean to a rosy brown side, making eyes sweeter in my opinion.
For me I use the Cheek Swish as an all over color (since it’s not pigmented enough to be used alone, but has tons of shimmers) and the Cheek Pop added in the middle for a pop of color.
And the Highlighter and Bronzer. The bronzer has simmers, which I love!
Next is the Instant Look in a Palette - Stoned Rose
Brand’s description: A palette for a rose-kissed 5-minute makeup look on the go.
Darlings, create a dreamy, radiant makeup look with my Instant Look In A Palette in Stoned Rose Beauty. Inspired by my globally loved Stoned Rose lipstick, this eye, cheek and contour palette is all you need for a lit-from-within, rose-kissed makeup look! It’s my secret to the BLOOM OF YOUTH in 7 easy, glow-giving steps, for a look that suits EVERYONE at EVERY age!
WHAT MAKES IT MAGIC?
EYE BRIGHTEN: a golden champagne eyeshadow to prime the surface of the eyelid with light-reflecting shimmer.
EYE ENHANCE: a peach-inspired bronze shadow to add soft, glowing dimension to the eyelid.
EYE SMOKE: a universally-flattering rich chocolate shade for sultry definition.
FACE BRONZE: Charlotte’s best-selling Filmstar Bronze & Glow formula in a muted tawny-brown to warm the complexion and define the cheekbone hollows, jawline and nose.
CHEEK SWISH: For a rosy, glow-giving wash of colour. A peachy-pink hue to be applied on the apples of the cheeks and blended out.
CHEEK POP: Enhance the natural peachy-pinks in your skin for a lit-from-within glow. A romantic rosy-pink to POP high on the apples of the cheeks.
FACE HIGHLIGHT: Everyone deserves a GLOW moment. Gild your skin in candlelight with this buttery, sheer highlight for a magical blurring effect and photo-finish radiance
The eyeshadows are super easy to use shades. You can go no wrong with these neutral brown shades.
Next are the Cheek Swish & Cheek Pop. I really love both shades and I think you can use either by itself, since they have enough pigmentation.
And the Highlighter and Bronzer. The bronzer is brownish and a little muddy in my opinion.
Next is the Smokey Eye Beauty Palette.
Now according to the Charlottel Tilbury Website, this palette is sold out. But I will post these swatches just in case she brings them back in the future.
