Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush Flawless Foundation, priced at £40, is winning praise from beauty fans who describe it as the "best foundation ever" for its full-coverage finish.
The liquid foundation is designed to provide full coverage with a 3D matte finish while remaining lightweight on the skin. According to Charlotte Tilbury, it helps blur the appearance of pores, fine lines, blemishes, redness and uneven skin tone.
Key features and technology
The formula uses Powder Blur AirTech with light diffusing powders to smooth skin texture and minimise shine, alongside Biomimetic Second Skin Tech for a natural, skin-like finish. It also contains PhytoYouth Essence, which the brand says provides hydration for up to 24 hours and helps skin look plumper and more revitalised.
AirCool Technology gives the foundation a breathable texture designed to feel comfortable in sweat and humidity. The product is available in 44 shades.
Customer reviews
The foundation has been rated highly by Charlotte Tilbury customers. One beauty fan left a five-star review on Cult Beauty, saying: "This is the best foundation ever. It covers all flaws, leaving your skin looking fabulous whilst you are wearing it."
Another added: "Outstanding foundation! The product looks amazing and stays on for 12 to 18 hours. You only need a small amount, as a little goes a long way. It blends beautifully and looks gorgeous on the face without feeling heavy. I absolutely love it and would definitely recommend this product to everyone!"
A third person wrote: "Amazing coverage, loved the shade match! Couldn't fault (it)." Not every product is suited to everyone, however, and one shopper removed a star and said: "It's a nice foundation but undecided for my mature skin. I also have the Beautiful Finish lighter foundation but feel that's not enough. I've mixed the two together but I'm still undecided."
Another wrote: "Amazing coverage, skin looks perfect after application. My only criticism is that, by the end of the day, it was quite crusty even though I prepped and set. It would look great for a few hours but I prefer other foundations on how they wear all day. That said, it is a great option for anyone looking for a true, full coverage foundation."
The Airbrush Flawless Foundation is available from Charlotte Tilbury for £40. Alternatives include the No7 Pro Artist Weightless Silk Sheer Foundation at Boots for £15.26, down from £19.95, which contains vitamin C and vitamin E, and the Lancôme Teint Idôle Ultra Wear Foundation at LookFantastic for £32.80, down from £41, offering up to 24 hours of full coverage with a natural matte finish.
