Michelle Keegan has spoken highly of Charlotte Tilbury's AIRbrush Flawless Foundation in a social media clip, describing the product as long-lasting and impressive. The actress, who stars in ITV's thriller series The Blame, previously shared her three beauty steps on the Charlotte Tilbury Instagram page, with the foundation among her go-to items.
Foundation features and price
The foundation is priced at £40 and offers full coverage. Its formula combines natural ceramides with light-diffusing powders to reduce the appearance of blemishes, redness, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. It is available in 44 shades, ranging from fair to deep.
In the clip, Keegan said: "It's long-lasting, you put it on in the morning and it lasts throughout the day and retexturizes skin in seconds." She added: "I am so impressed with this new formula." The foundation is described as waterproof, sweat-proof and provides a matte finish.
Other products in her routine
Keegan also mentioned the AIRbrush Flawless Finish setting powder, priced at £40, which is designed to smooth and blur the look of pores. The powder contains rose wax for hydration and is sold one every eight seconds globally. It is meant to mattify shine, brighten the skin and set makeup without caking.
To complete her look, she applied the AIRbrush Flawless Setting Spray, costing £21 for 34ml or £33 for 100ml. The spray primes and sets makeup for up to 16 hours, with ingredients like aloe vera, Japanese green tea and resin. It should be misted from six to eight inches away.
Alternative options and reviews
Other setting sprays are available at LookFantastic and Boots. LookFantastic offers the L'Oreal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray for £9.99, which dries in three seconds and gives a water-resistant finish. Boots sells the ONE/SIZE On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray for £32, containing witch hazel and green tea extract.
Online reviews for the Charlotte Tilbury foundation are mixed. One beauty fan wrote: "I always use this product; it's not too heavy, gives great coverage and lasts all day." Another five-star review said: "A single pump is enough to give full coverage. It is great for oily to dry skin. It is transfer-proof and waterproof. It doesn't look cakey and feels like skin."
However, some users had different experiences. One person commented: "Not quite the perfect shade for my skin tone, but I wouldn’t say too far off. Coverage-wise, not quite the full coverage I would have wanted." Another wrote: "Not dry skin-friendly. I imagine it would be a great foundation for somebody with combination-oily skin, but sadly it just didn’t work for me."
