NEW Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Foundation Review and Wear Test

[@cristinadowney7565]

Hi Lisa great review as always. Just adding my mature skin experience with this foundation. I am 63 and definitely dry skin also in CT so my heat experience was 80 and not 100. I used the CT Hollywood filter first and then the foundation and used setting spray. I found it medium to full coverage and I built it up a bit in places. The filter gave it a beautiful light, not a full out glow and it wore beautifully the whole day and I did not touch up at all. You always make a point of mentioning how products work differently on everyone and it is so true. I actually tried my EL longwear foundation the day after to compare and have to say I like CT better at this point. Hope this was helpful. Also Cate the Great Beauty just did a video and gave a fabulous shout out and review of your beautiful brushes which I love ❤️

[@lisajmakeup]

This was so great! Thank you so much Cristina, I really appreciate it :)

[@TheRealDramaMamaZ]

I've used this foundation 3 days straight since I received it, trying different methods of application - brush, sponge, combo of both, and am not happy with it at all. I'm mid-50s, with minimal wrinkles around my eyes, and found it settles around my mouth and nose, wears off easily, and is way too full coverage with even a minimal application. I didn't find it minimized my pores, but rather emphasized them instead. I much prefer her Magic Foundation and the Light Wonder Foundation to this new one. I'll be returning it ASAP (ordered off the CT website), as I can't justify keeping a $44 product I won't use again. I really wanted to like it, but disappointed it just didn't work for me. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so, but as you said, everyone is different. Works for some, not for all. LOVE your brush set, BTW! Happy I made the investment in them!

[@melanieosborn250]

Do you like the CT airbrush flawless or the CT magic foundation better?

[@bingm8109]

I got a sample yesterday and used it this am. It’s late afternoon and I am also in TX, so hot. I wasn’t impressed when first applied, but I do not have perfect skin like you do. I’ve also had errands, and the foundation has not worn well at all. Very disappointed and glad I got a sample. So for now,I’ll cont using Double Wear. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@lisaannwilner6408]

Question - Do you clean your foundation brush after each use?

[@sarahstroud6021]

This was definitely full coverage but it was too full coverage for me! I feel like it emphasizes my wrinkles and pores . I was shocked since I usually love her stuff! I got shade 3 but it was way too light. I’m going to mix it with my other foundations to try and warm it up! I am obsessed with you’re foundation brush! It is amazing 😀

[@sabineh.9486]

Lisa, I love that you give your authentic opinion and not just “I have to say I love it b/c it’s CT or everyone else does”..!! Thanks for that. 💞 True, every skin is different, but for those prices they better work!! Sooo looking forward to your skin routine tutorial! Have a fantastic day friend xoxo 😘

[@lisajmakeup]

So happy to hear! Thanks so much Sabine! :)

[@beautyforumbyangela]

I like the foundation, but on my skin (combination leaning towards oily) I noticed it oxidized a bit. So, I went a bit lighter to shade = 10N & that shade worked. I applied the foundation really lightly. It came out beautiful. My pores did peek through after 4 hours. I just blotted the area & the foundation looked fine. I love the color. It gives me complexion a smooth, youthful glow. I agree with you, bit pricey & my pores peeked through, but overall nice foundation. In this case, less is more. Thank you. Cheers 😉 🌷

[@JMacHab]

I think I’m about done testing foundations. I have found two that I really like, a lot. My favorite is the Chanel Ultra Le Tient Velvet. The second is the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation. Both of these where really well on my 53 year old skin. My test is how cakey it looks by the end of day and neither of these do. Granted, they may not be considered full coverage. I think both can b built to very good coverage. I know I’d have been tempted to try this foundation. Thanks for this review. I think I’ll stick with what I like. I love your foundation brush as well. I can see why it’s selling out.

[@JuliasBBeauty]

I so want to try some products from Charlotte Tilbury, I hoped this foundation will be the one I will go for, now I am a bit confused. What do you recommend me to try from her line? I mention I am oily combination, enlarged pores and i am 42. And thank you for a honest review!

[@shaziathanvi2590]

Every product have some pros n cons I like magic foundation more but still I’m very happy to have airbrush flawless foundation in my collection really enjoying both

[@Psc11832]

Hi, are you wearing lashes, if so what are they ? x

[@kathryn3223]

So sorry about your disappointment Lisa 😔 I know you were really looking forward to better results. On a different topic, in watching all of my beauty videos, your brushes are truly the best talk of the town! So much positive feedback.....I couldn’t be happier for you and your family 🥰 Have a blessed week! 🥰

[@lisajmakeup]

Awww thank you so much Kathryn!

[@janaj649]

Beautiful and I love your hair , can you tell me who does it . ❤️

[@christinecoursey2455]

Love your reviews Lisa! Honestly if I had your skin I’d save a ton of money because i wouldn’t buy or wear foundation! You seriously look flawless. Charlotte’s products are beautifully packaged but a lot of the complexion products didn’t work for my more mature skin.

[@evacaridad]

Hello!! Can you review Smashbox foundation next!!?

[@nancyr7440]

Hi Lisa! Honestly, didn't love the new CT foundation. I have dry skin-maybe not great for that type? Wondered if you've tried the new Guerlain Essential foundation & your review?

[@Clovergirl7934]

Thanks for the review. I’ve seen several reviews and they all say about the same. I was waiting for yours. Not a fan of this one. Seen better on you. Flow, I see your foundation brush is sold out but on order. If I pre-order it, do I pay when I order or when it ships?

[@loripare3441]

I can’t stop looking at your KS earrings. I need those in my life!

[@sherryreis5888]

Thanks for the honest review. Had high hopes it might do well on mature skin at that price but I honestly get a beautiful light coverage with my Colorscience lightly tinted spf as it matches to perfection. However some CT products are amazing. Love and hugs...... Sherry

[@cristinadowney7565]

Sherry Reis I am 63 and I would encourage getting a sample from Sephora if you can and trying it. I found it quite beautiful and again dry skin here. But samples are so helpful before fully committing!

[@deborahanley8230]

Yay! Excited for your skin care video!

[@SueB402]

Thank you for your honest opinions and thorough review Lisa. I’ve seen mostly favorable feedback on this one but like you said, it wears differently on every person. With all the new foundations out now there are so many to try. Also it’s awesome that your foundation brush is a bestseller.. it’s definitely a magic brush that we all feel is outstanding! 🥰🙌

[@shopgrl2002]

I love the color on your nails! If you don't mind, what color and brand is it?

[@barbaraarias2578]

Hi Lisa, Can you share with me what skin care you used before you used using this foundation. Your skin is radiant before the foundation. You look gorgous without make up.

[@joanschaefer]

Looking forward to the skin video that you spoke about.

[@christian5707]

Just sent my foundation back today. After trying to make it work for 3 days I just couldn’t justify this purchase. Once applied it did have a beautiful finish however it did nothing for my pores and after 5 hours it started breaking up on my nose, I’ve never had that issue with any foundation. By the 6th hour I noticed it would start fading on my jawline up to my cheeks, I tried different primers and used her magic cream... it just seemed like too much work for the price point and I felt I have other foundations that work better. Also I usually wear neutral in most foundations (but noticed how yellow it seemed in most reviews) I purchased a 3c in this foundation and it was spot on for me.

[@Gogoro7]

I really appreciate your honesty, it helps me make informed choices especially when trying higher end products. Thanks!😊

[@ClaraLV878]

Hi Lisa thank you for being honest on your reviews,always good to watch your videos before purchasing make ups.

[@brendaartherholt4551]

Thank you for your thorough review! I have a sample to try out and maybe it’ll work differently. If not, no big deal. I did recently buy the new Sheseido foundation and it’s amazing! I absolutely love it! Have a great evening 💗

[@abellsann4309]

Thank you for your honesty, I didn’t like that foundation either. Love The way you wear your make up.

[@jogosa3762]

Lisa, your eyes look incredibly beautiful! Your make up looks GREAT! You are so talented. Your hair is fabulous too. The foundation settled in my pores as well. I like the foundation, but not blown away. I’ve worn it about 4 or 5 times.

[@lisajmakeup]

Good to know! Thank you so much Jo! :)

[@stephaniecasey8557]

Try adding a drop of oil and putting it on over very hydrated skin and a hydrating primer. I got a very good result that way.

[@lisajmakeup]

Good to know! Thanks for the tip Stephanie!

Lisa, Do you blayage or foil? Your hair is gorgeous!😍

[@makeup_mamaxo1815]

What other foundation shades r U to compare for myself? Im thinking 4-5. Cos they oxidise I can't decide lol

[@suecone2198]

I have watched a lot of reviews on this foundation and some are good and some not so great. I ordered it and have worn it a couple of days and I live just south of you so I have also been in the heat. I kinda wish I had saved my money, but I will use it because I spent the money on it. I have only a few of her products because they are pricey. I like what I have but I will wait for a lot more reviews before I purchase any more products. Thanks for being so honest! Thanks 🙏🤠

[@karendykstra]

I wear 5N in her Magic Foundation and 6N in her Light Wonder. After ordering the samples, I took a chance with 5.5N in the Airbrush formula. It was described as olive with neutral. I moisturize and then apply with a brush, followed by a sponge. I do not go all out full coverage because I don’t need that except for special occasions. I like it and I have combo dry skin because of my Curology. I am 59. I was surprised🤷‍♀️. Go Charlotte!

[@rachelb5195]

Thanks for the review I can’t wait to try any Charlotte Tilbury product But right away I didn’t think this was for me I don’t like full coverage foundations But was curious to see thoughts on this Have seen a few others and not the best for price point But will try some other products Again thanks and have a great weekend

[@Amira-cc3id]

Hello Lisa ! Love your videos ! Thank you for this review ! I had a similar experience with this foundation. I’m older than you and I have some wrinkles. This foundation settles in every single wrinkle so I look older ☹️ Not a foundation for me ....

Looks great, on you. With my pores,I would hesitate to use it. Great,review. Thanks,Lisa.

[@amysophia1314]

Awesome review I just had mine arrive yesterday( a did the #4 but 5ml sample rouge) . So about 2! Weeks worth.. Depending. Of course I applied a dab or 2-3-4 lol but I put it back! It’s bedtime. I noticed the same for a first small ... a little goes a long way! I’m going to give the full try tomorrow... the color is beautiful but I already am noticing my fingers work best for application then my blender or the foundation stippling brush. You looked gorgeous!! Allergies and all!! Xo 😘

[@marycelentano2485]

Thank you for another great review. I received this foundation last week and like you I was not blown away definitely emphasized some texture, probably will return. Btw your skin looks absolutely beautiful! 💖💖

Thank you for your honesty. There was so much marketing on this brand. With the high price I hesitated to buy this one. I am glad I did not. 😊

[@reneklein6049]

I'm sorry about your allergies acting up. The foundation is quite pretty on you, but it's definitely dewy vs matte. And the more dewy, the more pores are emphasized. And at the price point, you should absolutely love it. ❤💗

[@rosamariav_09]

Rene Klein you’re right, and lines as well. I’m a fan of dewy because of my dry skin but I hate how my skin looks after a few hours. Thank you 🙏🏻 you gave me light.

[@reneklein6049]

@@rosamariav_09 that's so sweet of you. I too have dry skin, and lean towards dewy foundations, which emphasize my pores, but it's either that or flaky skin. There's no such thing as perfection!

[@kimthomas9836]

It seems everyone that tries this mentions it is a bit yellow. I have 6n and it starts yellow and then goes neutral. I think it can get a bit cakey looking and does show pores. This will likely be one I mix with something lighter...

[@brittanymyers7552]

I dont think this is matte I think it's natural personally its glowy on me with my dewy skin cream. I love this but I only use 1 pump and use the airbrush flawless finish powder. I just think it can get heavy quickly if you use to much.

[@ShaliniKBeauty]

Is the BB treatment similar to the LED light therapy?

I hope it works for me. I haven’t used mine yet. I do have oily/combo skin.

Thank You Lisa :-)) Great review again :-) Your a busy mum it takes me back, my daughter was in dancing classes and theatre shows from age 3 to 20. She is a working mum to a 2 year old, she works in a little shop a couple of days a week and her husband takes over hee hee. I think she likes that time. oxoxoxoxox

I have been testing this one & it seems very glowy on me, too! I had a sample & I don’t think I will be purchasing the full size. 😕 I have to touch up quite a bit during the day.

Lisa J I think I figured out why mine was so glowy! I have been trying out the Paula’s Choice Youth Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 50. Yesterday I had it on without makeup & in an hour, my face was so oily & shiney! So, this morning, I used my regular MD Solar Sciences Mineral SPF with the new CT foundation & it’s not glowy at all!

It looks nice on the video - only YOU really know how it looks and wears, compared to your favorites! I never buy anything that says "long-wearing" since I'm over 50 and find those types of foundations settle into lines. BUT, I have found that less is more, with any foundation- for many of us! I do have the Magic foundation in a few colors, which I like, but don't reach for every day-

This brush is total magical sorcery, LOL. I wish you would come out with this exact same brush but in a smaller concealer size. The same shape and the same density but just a smaller size. This brush blends my concealer out absolutely perfectly, which has never happened in my life. Congrats on an awesome brush collection!!! I love everyone I purchased.

Thanks for your review. I’ve just about given up on foundation. Nothing does what it claims and costs a lot of $

[@vilmabean9533]

Ironic this video was released today. I was at Nordtrom's today being typed for my correct shade of this foundation. I did not have time to sit for a complete application on my whole face. The Charlotte Tilbury makeup artist explained that this foundation has to dry thoroughly after applying before proceeding with the rest of your makeup. She also advised that using Charlotte's Magic Cream is an essential part of the result. She gave me a generous sample which is great since I did not want to purchase it until I know if it will work for me. I presently have a sample of Charlotte's Magic Cream but I feel it's too oily for my skin (I have mature skin but it's not too dry) and also too pricey for a moisturizer. When I try this foundation I will use my usual moisturizer (Dermalogica Active Moist) and Tatcha The Silk Canvas primer. It does look like a great foundation but will have to see how it performs.

I own most of her products, and this was the first one to disappoint.
