The 2026 Golden Globes red carpet was a spectacle of style, but one A-lister's radiant complexion became an instant talking point. Human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, attending in support of her husband George Clooney, captivated onlookers not only in a stunning red gown but with her impeccably luminous skin.
The Secret Behind the Flawless Finish
Behind the scenes, the secret weapon was a key product from British beauty brand Charlotte Tilbury. Amal's makeup artist, Dimitris Giannetos, relied on the brand's Airbrush Flawless Foundation, a £39 formula that has garnered a cult following since its launch. Trusted by celebrities and makeup artists alike, this foundation is celebrated for delivering full, airbrushed coverage without a heavy or cakey feel.
The product has gone viral for its ability to blur pores, smooth skin texture, and maintain its finish for hours—even under the intense scrutiny of red-carpet lighting. It’s famed for creating a 'your skin but better' effect, proving versatile enough for both Hollywood events and everyday wear.
The Complete Complexion Routine
Giannetos didn't stop with the foundation. To perfect Amal's look, he also used a highly anticipated new product: the not-yet-launched Airbrush Flawless Blur Concealer. This item already has thousands on its waiting list, hinting at its expected success.
The final touch of glow was achieved with Charlotte Tilbury's Beauty Light Wand in Spotlight (£30). This liquid highlighter, infused with 'Glow Gel', provided a soft-gold, dewy finish that gave Amal's skin its characteristic lit-from-within radiance.
A Night of Celebrity Beauty Choices
Amal Clooney wasn't the only star whose makeup choices turned heads. Selena Gomez achieved her awards-ready look using Rare Beauty's Positive Light Tinted Moisturiser (£29). Meanwhile, Ariana Grande showcased her own brand, using the r.e.m. beauty Sweetener Foundation (£29) as the base for her glamorous appearance.
The event underscored a continuing trend where celebrity makeup looks directly influence beauty trends and consumer purchases worldwide. Amal Clooney's polished appearance, centred on a high-performance, accessible luxury foundation, has undoubtedly cemented the product's status as a modern classic.
