CHARLOTTE TILBURY

Biography:

British makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury is one of the United Kingdom's most famous exports in the makeup industry. She has created campaign looks for Tom Ford, Roberto Cavalli, Michael Kors, Dsquared2, Stella McCartney, Loewe and H&M. She has been responsible for beauty campaigns for Burberry and Tom Ford, two of fashion’s biggest beauty players.

Editorially, Tilbury has contributed covers and editorials to French, British, Spanish and Brazilian Vogues, among many more titles. She regularly works as a show makeup director for brands as wide ranging as Hakaan, Zadig & Voltaire, Vionnet, Mugler and Donna Karen.

Having moved from Ibiza when she was 9 years old, Tilbury discovered the power of cosmetics while at boarding school in England. “Makeup literally changed my life. I put on mascara and the whole world’s reaction to me changed. I remember feeling kind of hurt about that. And then I realised, actually, I’m just like everybody else.” Tilbury attended Glauca Rossi School of Makeup in London to learn her trade.

Tilbury launched the Rock & Khol festival at Selfridges in 2013, with the unveiling of a lenticular image of lifelong friend and muse Kate Moss. As evidence of her popularity in the industry, many friends turned up in show of their support, including Nicola Formichetti, Cara Delevingne, Bay Garnett, Laura Bailey, Mario Testino and Moss.

Thoughts:

Charlotte is a true  inspiration in current trends, she has become one of the most successful makeup artists associated with catwalk and editorial and I love her designs, they are clean and perfectly compliment the final piece. She has worked with all the top designers and models and her career is definitely something to aspire to!
