Charlotte Tilbury BEAUTIFUL SKIN Foundation Review | 4 Day Wear Test

This is a foundation review I'm really excited about making, but my skin doesn't generally like the Charlotte Tilbury formulas so will the new Beautiful Skin Foundation be different? I've tested this foundation out over 4 days and I have a lot to say! Hope you find it helpful xxx

Could you possibly ask your mum to test this please? It would be good to hear how it works for more mature skins. Thankyou.

[@IvyRoad]

Yes please!

[@chrissymoss514]

I was shocked at how really good this looked, even after many hours of wear! The reasonable price and the excellent packaging as well as its performance, has convinced me to buy it. It's gorgeous Gemma 😍 I also appreciate that it's not a glowy foundation. I'm veering away from this type of finish as I feel they emphasise my crinkles and pores. Oh, that reminds me - you mentioned your wrinkles - Gemma, you don't have ANY!! Love and hugs 💗💗🤗💗💗🤗💗💗🤗💗💗🤗💗💗 PS : I'm bursting to know what your Mum thinks of this one. xxx

[@ZAKAT00123]

I will wait for a drug store dupe! LOL

[@jann3443]

Wayne Goss just posted his review as well another positive one! 🤗 I'm relieved since I ordered this yesterday. Thanks for your suggestions as well, Gemma. I would also love to see how your mom gets on with it.

[@tammyroy9042]

I’m super excited to try this! Have wanted to watch a few reviews before purchasing and this one nailed it for me- thank you ☺️ I haven’t got on with any of her other foundations - my 57yr old normal to dry skin found them to be a bit heavy and cakey but this sounded like my cup of tea from the get-go so I will definitely be ordering! Just recovering from Covid so I believe I deserve a “pick me up” 😉 Thanks beautiful you💕 Xo Tammy 🇨🇦

[@Angel283]

You talk about Properly prepping the skin before makeup. I would love to see a video on this...step by step, real time, with your fav and current products ( not just ones your trying out). THANKS!!

[@missjoasia123]

Great review! Glad you don’t do only first impression. You test out the foundation to make it work for you and then you can tell us how you feel over a few days span. Definitely more accurate review when you use it for us for a number of days and give tips ! Thanks so much !

[@yulianagonzalez2428]

Exactly 👏👏👏

[@deejohnson827]

Honestly, Gemma, I thought the tiny hole in your sweater was a piece of lint...😘 Such a thorough review, thanks for sharing!

[@heather7287]

Me too!

[@AllyKit]

Such a thorough review with a multi day wear test, down to the mention of fragrance and no SPF. I really appreciate the way you don’t use any helpers on the first day. Such a relief you were happy with it since the reviews have been mixed after I placed my order. Like others, I would enjoy a review from your mum as well 💕

[@dominiquetheeasyminimalist]

Without hearing your comments, at first glance I thought it looked so good on your skin!

[@janmarchand7294]

Wow! I'm so impressed with your wear test I just ordered my own. I can't believe it looked so good even after wearing a mask! My skin went from oily to dry in the past few years and I need a more hydrating foundation. Knowing you have dry skin also I couldn't believe how great this looked on you! Thank's for giving this foundation a try.

[@deborahmiller6387]

I’ve been shopping for a foundation and while sampling at Ulta and Sephora, nothing looked as nice on me as this one…including all the newest foundations and believe me I’ve tried at least 20! You look stunning, thank you for helping me to decide!

[@gailsykes2691]

Great review Gemma, very in depth. I wasn't a foundation wearer a year or so ago, now I have several thanks to your reviews. Like a couple of others, I would like to see how your mum gets on with it as we're similar age. It looks lovely on you 😍

[@lisataylor2033]

Phew….I ordered this like an hour ago and was on the fence then! So glad it worked for you, great review and has made me feel more relaxed about buying it 😊

[@TJ-bn2cn]

I really appreciate all the work that you put into your reviews, to really help us not waste money or find something great. Thank you so much.

[@jansenlee3319]

Wow this looks beautiful on your skin! Maybe one of the best I’ve ever seen in natural light on you

[@beckyc.5743]

Love that this is self setting! It looks beautiful on your skin Gemma. Thanks for the review.

[@cocoatmidnight7611]

Hi Gemma, ❤️ that you have applied some highlights back to your hair. Saw the Wayne Gods review of this foundation and he believes this product is wonderful particularly if we are looking for a light weight item. This foundation willl be a winner for me.

[@sarahralph-neil7137]

I was hoping you would review this foundation and as always a very comprehensive review. I always find Charlotte Tilbury foundations look good in person but take a photo & I look like I've no makeup on at all, in fact this was the main reason I haven't bought any more of her foundations. However, this looks great on your skin & the staying power is a bonus.

[@tlsimonsson]

Oh thank you for the review of this most anticipated Foundation 🥰 It looks Beautiful on You. The container reminds me of E.L. Futurist, can you say how it compares? Thanks so much 😘

[@shelleymalone4427]

Thank you, Gemma. I appreciate your thoughts on this foundation. I may give this a try to see how it works in our cold Canadian winter and in my dry skin. Although, I may just wait until I can give La Mer a try.

[@sueanderson9860]

Fab review Gemma! You’ve convinced me to give it a go. It looks absolutely fabulous on you - maybe the best in a very long white! xx

[@jackiespencer392]

Oooh I have just ordered and can't wait to try x please ask your mum to test this out x

[@lwb9577]

Great in-depth review. Would love to see how it works on your mums skin.

[@jennyhicks1930]

I get quite cross with CT because of all the heavy advertising which I feel we’re paying for! But I couldn’t resist ordering this yesterday after Charlotte Holdcroft had reviewed it, I’ve ordered the same colour as you and it does look amazing on you.. here’s hoping I get the same results!! ☺️

[@AllyKit]

Agree, and I also feel all that crap insults our intelligence. I skip over all that BS and it really does make me not want to buy it either but I can’t help myself, her products are great but not magic 😂

[@ataliemitchell3606]

I’m so excited now to receive this foundation!! I have dryer skin due to retin-a use and her other foundations didn’t work out as well as I’m hoping this will. Thank you so much for all those tips, I have dry flaky bits always around my mouth right now and I’m for sure going to try the marula oil trick.

[@lisag8463]

So happy to see your review and results.I've got it coming in the mail~can't wait! I'll remember to use my squalane oil on my dryish areas.

[@TheAlfakitty]

This foundation looks really fantastic on you. I wear your same color and I'm all in.

[@lizannmiller2641]

It looks beautiful on your skin. I can’t wait to try it. I’m looking for a foundation for my daughters wedding without an SPF for photos. So this might be the one. 🥰

[@goldie4245]

Looked beautiful on you. Let me echo the others, need your beautiful Mums review, Mom tested is where’s its at for us mature women!

[@misssaavy]

TY for a thorough review! I love the warm hair color it brings out your eyes!

[@Sarah-bq2md]

Thank you Gemma for such a thoughtful review. My favorite CT foundation is Light Wonder. I am going to try this one. For no other reason than the no SPF!! Looks beautiful on you. 💗 Love your hair with the green sweater. Gorgeous!

[@christian5707]

I just watched another KZbinr review this and I’m totally looking forward to what your opinion is on it. Currently on a no buy but this is definitely on my list to buy in a few months so I’m hoping you love it! Lol and like you ct foundations have never worked for me but this looks promising!

[@alexandrasaadi7149]

No buy as well!!

[@christian5707]

@@alexandrasaadi7149 good luck! It’s been a struggle for me and I’m only 7 days in…

[@juliekruse4060]

@@christian5707 same for me!

[@LCx829]

Same and 1 foundation last me 6 months so I need to be picky what I buy.

[@parisinthe30sx]

Same here except my no buy is more because I'm broke lol I wish I could be on a no buy on purpose

[@dorettawilson7726]

I'm over 60 with normal skin but found this very drying. I dries down to a powder-like finish. Not sure if I like it for winter but may keep it for summer use.

[@valgarrett63]

Oh wow! Looks beautifully smooth and flawless on your skin. I also can't abide all the silly percentage claims - and the CT website drives me potty with all the pop ups....... darling ..... arrgghhh.....🤯

[@AllyKit]

Agree, her website is maddening. 😠 I will only purchase her products through Sephora or Nordstrom.

[@notes_to_elle8664]

I'm very happy to hear you like this as I've already ordered it, though now I'm a bit concerned about the shade I chose, haha. :). Thanks also for the setting spray tip, I'll have to dig it out!

[@junelawler4008]

I really respect your reviews. Thank you, Gema.

[@Joanna-tq2yo]

Thank you so much for this review, I watched others and yours is what I call a completely thorough review. No just a swatching match, which doesn't mean much to me tbh....really impressed with the product 👌 👏 ❤

[@blueskies90]

Thanks for the review. This looks great! I think i might need to try it. Honestly most of Charlotte’s marketing is annoying. The overuse of magic and flawless really gets on my nerves. Loving your darker hair!

[@Halloweenlover10.31]

I've had high hopes for this one so happy to hear it's as good as I imagined it would be. Your review is so detailed & helpful. I'm just recently switching to a more Dewey finish & have been trying different ones. Sounding like this could be at the top of my list. Lol. So far have about 3 higher end ones I'm liking & will sample this but might just be the first one I purchase.

[@laineys124]

I got a sample of this and I really love it too. Like you, I haven’t been a fan of any other CT foundations, but this one looks great and wears really well on my 48yo skin. Thanks for the fantastic review and tips about primers etc 💜

[@sarahd2993]

How did you get a sample? I'm sick of buying fountains and it not sitting right on my skin after a hour or so because I have a oily nose area. A sample would be great because I have spent a small fortune on foundation the last few months. Thank you

[@raeliamrussi2679]

Great review!! I swear Gemma, I subscribed to your channel for the great content and to hear you say "stunning"😊

[@Alexandra-ui6yx]

Omg I bought this this morning before this video posted!! THANK GOODNESS YOU LIKE IT

[@AndreeaC.]

Hi Gemma ! I am really curious about this one the Flawless Foundation is not one who works for me too heavy , powdery and tacky plus the shade oxydate 😔. P.S. today I brought a new formula of L' Oreal Infallible is called 32 H Fresh Wear Foundation plus there was a reformulated infallible concealer also ( has a black with red bottle cap ), on they're website says coming soon ( I live in Germany).

[@lulubelle2009]

I've heard good things about the new L'Oréal fresh wear foundation, it's on my list of foundations to buy this year 👍🏾

[@loriengelmann9240]

Gemma, Thank you for this review. Exactly the information I needed. BTW, it looks great on you!

[@darlosmurf148]

Thanks Gemma. Great review as always. Like you - I don't usually get on with CT foundations, but we have similar skin, so I've ordered mine this evening. Looking forward to trying it out. Oh and I ordered the Refy brow sculpt too after seeing your comments on that x

[@gabrielsworld6331]

Love this review! You look gorgeous! And really nice foundation! Your skin looks perfect! 💗

[@talanab7785]

Thank you for a great review as always 👍💐💌 ! I already own foundations I love , and actually the "200 + % better than - what exactly ? !!? " put me off buying this. Watching you use it, it looks really nice ( wow !!! ) , but no . I love Charlotte Tilbury`s setting spray, and have yet to find a good replacement. But I am looking. Because ; She has some amazing products, no doubt ! But to those high prices she takes ( ordering from Norway , I have to add a lot for customer control as well ) I really would want the packaging - boxes - bottles - etc, to look more luxurious. And !! The "200% + better" on the info looks totally ridiculous !

[@yulianagonzalez2428]

This is the type of video I love people try with without primer. Setting powder etc I love the La Mer and Kho Gen Do foundation my favorite ones.

[@paulmahoney6313]

IV watched your videos for a couple of years now the first one I watched was your Mac experience at Manchester airport in duty free as I work there (not on Mac) haha anyway I really enjoy your honest reviews on products and I find your Chanel gives the most trusted reviews ... Keep up the good work x

[@patkern185]

It appears to be a great foundation and you look fantastic in each example! XXOO ❤️

[@anncrosby6157]

I normally use her flawless finish I will love to try this one having dry skin with senestivity thank you so much for your review 💖💯

[@trppro7640]

I am excited to try it now. So glad you like it. I ordered 3 cool. I also have not gotten along with her other foundations. Not sure why but they’re don’t feel good or look great once they are applied. Her claims on the products are getting ludicrous and diminish her products. It does look really lovely on you even when you just put it on with little prep. Thanks for the tips I will use them. 👍.

[@melindadowney4087]

Wonderful and very thorough review. I appreciate your honesty. This foundation looks beautiful on you! 💖

[@susanwright802]

Brilliant review 👏. Really appreciate how much detail you went into and that u tried it on multiple days with different skin care, application methods and with a primer. Really feel confident I can trust your opinion. You rock 🙏❤

[@Mary-ku8zf]

Looks lovely, well wait to hear how your Mum got on with it. Thanks for the review❤️

[@angelabenigno]

You convinced me, and I decided to buy it. I'll let you know my impression!

[@windyellard2380]

Ths foundation looks great on you! So happy to hear it worked out. I am going to try later this spring as I just picked up another bottle of the CT Airbrush foundation I wear. Thanks so much for the tips and the in depth review! Happy New Year!

I hate a tacky feel, but it sounds like it dries down. Thanks for your review.

[@carlycobalt9173]

I’m so excited to try this makeup! Cruelty free is all I will buy and it is! Thank you for reviewing so thoroughly! Also, you are killing it with your color choices on tops you are wearing. Just beautiful! Thanks again Gemma--Happy New Year! 🎉

[@karenkushla3975]

I have very pale skin with pink undertones, and CT makeup is way too orange on me. I think I will pass, despite your lovely review. BTW, that green sweater is so flattering on you!

Always the best review. I never purchase before coming back to Gemma❤️

Great concise review, thanks Gemma. I always love the tops you wear, are you able to list where you got them from? 😁

[@victoriabourque258]

So thorough and helpful Gemma thank you ❤️

[@samantarizzi248]

Oh my god, there are so many mixed reviews out there! I think it’s too risky for me to buy it just to try it because I have my holy grail Touché Eclat Le Teint so I don’t think I can splurge on a new foundation right now when there’s a possibility of me not liking it. Thanks for your review nonetheless:)

[@1950froggie]

that being said it looks lovely on you Gemma!

[@emilydouglas5867]

Great review! I’m testing this out today and hoping it works for me!!

[@claudiatrapp12]

Ok, I'm super excited to try this now!

[@Donna-cc1kt]

This foundation is 947% better hovering your floors! I love you 🤪. Those percentages are irritating, who can measure them? I’ve been watching your older videos. Have to say, you now have miraculous skin and perfect brows. Think you must now -a- days get on with a lot of foundations. Like your day time look today, I don’t wear glitter at home🤣😂🤣.

[@dressupyourlife2010]

I absolutely love this look! I prefer this over the high end look. I tried the Physicians Formula Butter foundation. I loved the look but it oxidized horribly and I really didn’t like the weird smell.

[@kamloopscruiser874]

Oh the review I’ve been waiting for! I’ll buy it. I’m usually your shade or one lighter in neutral tones so I think I’ll try this in your shade 3N or 2 N

Before watching this video, I was going to say - this foundation packaging and CLAIMS look and sound exactly like the Estée Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue…like the packaging is VERY similar.

I told myself I wasn’t buying this🤦‍♀️. So many positive reviews around but yours was the one I was waiting for. It looks right up my street however I really need to use up some I already have open. I shall try to wait and maybe get to a counter for a proper colour match (suspect I’ll be 3N or 4N). Thanks for your thoughts
