Sometimes, the launch of a new product is the sign of a new trend. In this case, Charlotte Tilbury has launched a matte version of their new setting spray. Both of them help your makeup last longer by forming a seal on top of it so that it doesn’t move, but the original version was always a little glossy in its finish. If you use the right amount, it feels like you have hairspray on your face when this dries – and that’s how you know it’s going to work. ⠀
A makeup artist once told me that the trick to really long-lasting makeup was to put a layer of setting spray on UNDER your foundation and also on top, and I have to say that she was right. It’s not a trick I use all the time, but if I’m doing makeup that needs to look perfect, then that is what I’m doing. The matte version is indeed more blurring but not as mattifying as a powder. If you have very oily skin (which I do), you will be disappointed if you expect it to stop your skin from producing any oil. This is a natural matte. ⠀⠀
Which brings me to the trend in skin – are we done with the glass skin look and going to a more matte option? Honestly, I will never have perfectly matte skin, and if your skin is even a little dry, the original setting spray is for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The last picture – still my favourite skincare product from the brand because of how good it smells. Rose and saffron in a skincare product is how I want to start every day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
