Charlotte Tilbury fans get free powder that ‘suits mature skin’

Beauty fans often rave about Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless range, which is said to help smooth out the complexion and help make-up blend together. Now, a limited-time deal from the brand means that when shoppers buy the discounted full-size Airbrush Flawless Finish powder, they will get a free travel size too.

On the Charlotte Tilbury website, the Airbrush Flawless Finish powder is now priced at £40 down from £63, and alongside the full-size 8g pressed powder buyers will also get a 3.4g travel size for free. According to the brand, the finishing powder “mattifies, blurs, smooths and sets like no other”, and is said to not cause cakiness, patchiness or settling into lines thanks to its rose wax hydrating infusion.

The powder comes in four shades – fair, medium, tan and deep – and buyers can choose different shades for the full size and travel versions, making it ideal for gifting too. The compact comes complete with a mirror, and when the powder has run out, shoppers can easily pop out the empty palette for a refill.

If the Charlotte Tilbury deal isn’t calling out to shoppers, they could try the Bare Minerals Original Mineral Veil Pressed Setting Powder, which is currently £23.10 down from £33 at LookFantastic. This one comes in sheer fair, sheer light, sheer medium, and sheer deep shades, and is said to be a “featherlight formula” designed to mattify the skin and extend make-up wear.

For a more wallet-friendly alternative, Boots’ No7 Airbrush Away Finishing Powder is £13.95 at Boots. It is said to reduce the appearance of pores and fine lines, leaving skin looking smoother and helping to prolong make-up wear.

Fans of the Charlotte Tilbury powder have left rave reviews for the product. A Cult Beauty shopper said: “It’s so silky smooth and the formula lasts throughout the day and doesn’t leave any harsh lines.

“It’s a great formula that doesn’t settle into fine lines but does blur them along with pores. It doesn’t transfer onto your clothing and packaging is so nice.

“The price point is kind of high but it’s a very high-end product that suits mature skin perfectly. It’s very lightweight but yet a little goes a long way.”

A buyer wrote on the Charlotte Tilbury website: “Love this product, the best finishing powder I have ever come across. Well worth spending extra on it.”

Another described it as the “best there is”, writing: “I have used this powder in the past but for some reason strayed to another well-known brand. I came back to it as I really did not get along with the other and realised just how good it is!

“It doesn’t settle in my creases and fine lines, moves with my face and is so breathable yet I feel like it gives me a decent coverage. I’m happy to wear this with or without liquid foundation and makes me feel so confident in my own skin.”

One buyer did note that the clasp can be tricky to open. In their four-star review, they said: “This product gives a fantastic finish and really does do what it says it will do. The clasp on the outside is a little hard to open, which can be frustrating but the product itself is fantastic!”

Another four-star reviewer said: “Keeps my makeup in place, however feels slightly drying if used without a spray afterwards.”
