It explains the pros and cons of each type, helping users understand which formulation may work best for their needs. Next, the guide dives into the importance of matching foundation to one's skin tone. It provides tips and tricks for determining undertones and offers advice on how to select the right shade.

A Guide to Charlotte Tilbury Foundations
When she originally launched Charlotte Tilbury Cosmetics, I was surprised to see there was only one, light coverage, foundation.
Charlotte has made a name for herself in the beauty world as the queen of glam, glowing, candlelit skin and since the launch, she’s added two more bases options. I’ve tried all three thoroughly so I can break down each one and compare the formulas for you all!

LIGHT WONDER FOUNDATION
Light Wonder Foundation is Charlotte’s first and the lightest in coverage, yet easily most forgiving to texture.
It’s a gorgeous skin-like hydrating formula that can be built up to medium coverage, with a slightly dewy finish. Idea application is brush or hands in my opinion, as a sponge would soak up too much product.
The shade range is the most disappointing in this formula with only 10 options, with more inclusivity needed in darker shades.
The packaging is fantastic; Slim, squeeze tube that is completely travel-friendly.
The formula would be best suited for dry, normal and combo complexion.
MAGIC FOUNDATION
The second addition to Charlotte’s foundation range is Magic Foundation.
The formula is creamy and blends well with brush or sponge and settles to a slightly radiant satin finish. I feel like the longevity in wear time of Magic Foundation is much longer than Light Wonder, without ever getting cakey.
The shade range is significantly better with 20 options in a broad range. There isn’t a load of different undertones, but there are options for olive, neutral and yellow mostly.
The packaging is a glass bottle with a well controllable pump.
The formula would be best suited for dry, normal, combination or slightly oily skin.
AIRBRUSH FLAWLESS FOUNDATION*
Airbrush Flawless Foundation is the latest in Charlotte’s range and easily the most full coverage.
While this foundation claims to be ultra-hydrating, I actually find it very, very matte. It sets fast, so working with a sponge or brush in small sections is ideal to get the airbrush finish it claims.
The shade range is most impressive in size with 50 options, but some of the undertones can lean very peach, in the neutral category especially.
The packaging is a glass oval bottle, that is taller than the other two, with a pump that dispenses small amounts at a time (ideal considering how fast this sets!).
This formula is best suited for those with normal to oily skin, or aren’t concerned with skin texture in their complexion.
It’s also worth noting that this has a distinct fragrance to it – almost a bit like tobacco floral. I don’t notice it much once it’s on, but it is definitely something to be wary of if you have fragrance sensitivities.
This tint is not going to cover any imperfections. It’s one of those products that enhances the overall look of the skin without actually hiding anything. After Wayne Goss gave Healthy Glow Hydrating Tint a rave review last summer, a lot of people in his comments said they bought it but were left disappointed with the performance, and this is probably why. Either that, or they used too much product. I don’t blame them, I was surprised how concentrated it was, too.
It explains the difference between light, medium, and full coverage foundations, catering to individuals with different skin concerns and preferences. Additionally, it may include recommendations for specific skin conditions, such as acne-prone, oily, dry, or combination skin. Another essential aspect covered in the magic foundation guide is the application techniques. It offers detailed instructions on how to apply foundation using brushes, sponges, or fingertips, along with the advantages and limitations of each method. The guide may also suggest primers or moisturizers to enhance the longevity and finish of foundation. Furthermore, the guide may provide insights into color correcting techniques, concealer application, and contouring/highlighting in relation to foundation. These additional tips can help users achieve a more professional-looking makeup application. In conclusion, a magic foundation guide is a comprehensive resource that educates and empowers individuals to choose and apply foundation effectively. By understanding different foundation types, matching skin tones, selecting appropriate coverage, and utilizing proper application techniques, individuals can achieve a flawless complexion and enhance their overall makeup experience..
