Creating a Sparkly Christmas Look with Charlotte Tilbury's New Products

The holiday season calls for makeup that shines as brightly as the festive lights.

On Monday, 10th November, I had the exciting opportunity to attend a PRO workshop at the new Charlotte Tilbury Carnaby Street store, held in their exclusive VIP studio.

This event was a chance to explore the latest products and create a dazzling Christmas look using the new Hollywood Instant Look Palette alongside the iconic Pillow Talk lipliner and lipstick.

Here’s a sneak peek of my work before the professional photos arrive, and some tips on how you can achieve this sparkling style for your own celebrations.

Here's my gorgeous model for the day, Aimee!

Exploring the Hollywood Instant Look Palette

The Hollywood Instant Look Palette is designed to deliver a glamorous, radiant finish perfect for festive occasions. It features a mix of shimmering eyeshadows, a blush, and a highlighter that work together to brighten your face and add sparkle to your eyes. During the workshop, we used the palette to create a look that balances shimmer with subtle warmth, ideal for Christmas parties or holiday dinners.

To recreate this look:

• Start with the lighter shimmer shades on the inner corners of your eyes to open them up.

• Use the medium tones on your eyelids for a soft glow.

• Apply the darker shades along the crease and outer corners for depth.

• Finish with the highlighter on your cheekbones and the blush for a healthy flush.

  
  

This palette is versatile enough to suit many skin tones and can be layered for more intensity or blended for a softer effect.

The Magic of Pillow Talk Lipliner and Lipstick

No festive look is complete without the perfect lip color. The Pillow Talk lipliner and lipstick are legendary for their flattering nude-pink tones that enhance natural lip color while adding a polished finish. The lipliner defines and shapes the lips, preventing feathering, while the lipstick adds a creamy, long-lasting tint.

For the Christmas sparkle, pairing these with a touch of gloss or a subtle shimmer on the center of the lips can elevate the look. This combination is both elegant and wearable, making it a great choice for day-to-night transitions during the holiday season.

Booking Your Own Makeover or Workshop

If you want to try this sparkling Christmas look yourself, you can book a makeover, or I can arrange a personalise workshop for you and your friends, colleagues, or even a one-to-one session. These workshops are a fun way to learn new techniques, experiment with products, and create a festive look tailored to your preferences. Whether you want to master the Hollywood Instant Look Palette or perfect the Pillow Talk lip combo, this hands-on experience will boost your confidence and skills.
