Getting A Bridal Makeup Trial at Charlotte Tilbury 👀

We're going for a bridal makeup trial today. I know, I know, this is my first one. And we're going to be going Charlotte Tilbury because I see so many brides using Charlotte Tilbury for their wedding makeup, especially the lip combos. I see so many people using Pillow Talk. I'm going to ask for this image here because I feel like this is such a 2025 bride kind of vibe. I've laid down my eyebrows and the reason being is this is not a makeup counter experience where I'm going to see what they can do with their products and how they perform. This is bridal makeup so I don't want anyone changing my eyebrow shape or making my eyebrow shape look a way that I don't like. So I've laid it down. I don't mind them going in and filling it, making it a little bit darker but this is the shape I want and this is the shape I'm keeping. I have also put on some cluster lashes underneath my lash line. The reason being is I don't think Charlotte Tilbury do lashes and there is no way I'm not going to be wearing eyelashes on the wedding day or for a bridal trial. Like it's just not happening. So I put eyelashes on beforehand just so that it kind of helps give you the overall look because I just wouldn't not have eyelashes on my wedding day. Do you know what I mean? Tried to do the hair a little bit sleek hoping that it will look okay and stay in place but it's raining so I don't know. I don't know. Let's go. This is the new store. It is absolutely cute. So cute. Okay guys I'm at the downstairs bit and this is your only store that has this skin spa. Oh I've got all the lights missing. I hate when it does that. This is so cute. Oh my gosh look at the size of that. That's crazy. That's so cute. Okay so this is the skin one. Very girly. This is gorgeous. This is so cute. So much effort has gone into this store. This is my first time coming here. Yeah I used to go to the one you know that you guys had up the road. That's really cute. This kind of reminds me of the one that I went to before. Yeah so it was downstairs but it's got more stations now. It's a lot bigger here as well. I just arrived at the flagship store here in Covent Garden. I haven't been to the Covent Garden one since they redid all of this. They have so many things but our makeup artist today is called Carmen and she's going to be doing the bridal vibes. I feel so hot. It's the traveling on the underground just makes me so sweaty and I quickly popped two boots. So if you can see because I needed to grab some stuff and some new hair care bits and stuff like this. Would you like to say hello? Hello. This is our makeup artist today. Are you okay with the patches on with this? Yeah yeah. So that's perfect. That smells really nice. I love this product. I think it's one of my favorite actually. Yeah we do a bridal bonus here. Because I'm so dry. It's like hydration. My skin is just dry right now. And even this morning I did skincare. I did a seam off spray. Like I've done it all. Okay we're gonna switch over to a voiceover right now just to make things a little bit more easier because me and Carmen were talking so much when I was watching this back. I was like I need to tell you guys what is actually going on. You can see a little bit of skin prep was happening. She did the spray. She did the under eye patches and then she did the magic cream and then some eye cream as well. And then she took this new product which I've never actually seen before and it's kind of like a pore filling SPF primer. So Carmen asked me like what sort of finish do I like and what's my favorite foundation from Charlotte Tilbury which is the beautiful skin. It personally is my favorite one out of all the ones that I do. So she put this all over the face and then she kind of did some under painting but with the highlighter which I don't normally see and I actually really like this because normally highlighter we tend to add as more of a finishing step or like a last step. Do you know what I mean? Like we never add it at this stage in the makeup and she said she likes to do her base and then do the highlighter and then just to kind of like lift the face a bit more. Then she took pinkgasm in the beauty light wand which is actually one of my favorites. I really feel like this just looks gorgeous on top of a blusher and she put that onto the cheeks as well and honestly my camera was so annoying because it kept messing around with the lighting. Now this is the thing with these makeup shops and makeup counters like who does the lighting sometimes you know because spotlights never look good on anyone and sometimes it messes up with the camera. Anyways I'm totally rambling. We used that palette as I said I wanted that really gorgeous soft pinky vibe and then she did cream bronzer so at this stage all the creams were down and then she started to focus on the eyes. Just like the images I wanted something a little bit darker on the outer corner but I didn't want it to be black so she took this kind of like browny plum sort of color I'd say and used her finger to kind of like drag it out of her so slightly. I've seen a few people do this trend on TikTok where they just kind of use their fingers then she went in with a little bit of color correcting. A comment did say to me the way that she does her makeup isn't the normal routine and the normal sequence that people do. She likes to go back and forth and go back with creams and powders. Now with the blusher did you know you're meant to swipe the outer corner and then dab the center. I never knew that that's the way that they recommend you to use the blusher. Sometimes I'd use the lighter shade than the darker one or sometimes I'd mix it together like it just depended on the look I was going for. Now this is when she actually went to grab another foundation. Now this foundation is a little bit more matte it's a little bit more full coverage and she said that she uses it just to add that coverage in the center of the face but to also help lighten the center so to keep the outer perimeter a little bit more bronzy and then she used a sponge and the brush and just kind of switched in between them. Did you know what it's really different because obviously like I said she just added blusher and now she's adding foundation again into the middle of the face so yeah all these steps are very different but I'm here for it because as someone who loves makeup I really do enjoy seeing how other people use their products and their own techniques and their own methods. Then she went back to the lower lash line just to connect it and then drag it out ever so slightly then went in with a little bit of concealer and then done the lips. She did a lighter shade first of all with one of their newer lip liners and then she went in with Iconic Nude. As I said this is probably one of my favorite nudes from Charlotte Tilbury. A really light nude was applied to the center of the lips and then she went in with the Airbrush pressed powder in the shade one and just dusted that on the center of the face and then used the sponge just to press it into the skin a little bit more and then this was the finished result straight after when everything was just done and it was all fresh. I'm back home now. I actually did end up popping into Space NK shortly after my trip so obviously it's a little bit later but nothing like too major. One thing I'll be taking away from today is I normally buy shade two in the Airbrush powder. I'm not buying that any longer. I get that because I think that looks like you know light enough. No. I'll be buying shade one from now on because she used shade one on my under eye and I think it looks really brightening and it contrasts quite well. Throughout the process she would like come really close obviously to do the makeup and then she'd step back and then look at my face and kind of take it in which I think is so important to do because when you're a makeup artist you need to step back and look at the person to take it all in and see from far is everything looking equal is everything looking nice. By the way I got a bath on in the background and on the center of my lip she used the Kim I think it was and I've never tried this before and I know it is an iconic lipstick from them but I've never tried it so now I'm like okay I need to add Kim to my list. What I'm thinking is I'm gonna get those items and then I might make my own little spin on the bridal sort of makeup. I think from far everything still looks really nice. Obviously my under eyes is creased but I am really dry at the moment and we were laughing so much while she was doing my makeup which I know doesn't make the job easy. When you're doing someone's makeup you want them to keep their face still and not be talking and laughing with you and honestly me and Carmen were just laughing and joking and having a really really good time. Everyone has their personal preference when it comes to makeup as well we need to bear in mind there's certain things that I may like that you may not like. For example I like to overline my lips you know I like to make my lips look a tiny bit fuller in the center um and I like to powder a lot more maybe more than the average person because I know how my skin creases a lot you know. But what are you guys thinking about the bridal makeup? What are we thinking? Also before you go I have a little haul. So I went to Space NK. I love the Natrium shower gels. The other day I actually bought a restock of this one. Let me show you. Hold on. This one is empty. This is the salicylic acid one. I really wish they did refills. I don't want to have to keep buying a whole brand new bottle like please Natrium if you see this you're probably not going to see it but if you do please Natrium do a refill. My skin like I said has been a little bit dry so I decided to get the hyaluronic one so I can use the salicylic acid and the hyaluronic one to kind of help with any breakouts because I get breakouts when I go to the gym and then this will be really nice and hydrated so I got one of them. I did go to Boots to get the Elemis cleanser but they didn't have a stand for Elemis and I was so confused because Covent Garden Boots is so nice and such a good store that I honestly thought they would have stocked Elemis but they didn't so I went to Space NK like I said and I picked myself up a brand new Elemis cleanser because I needed that and then I did get some things from Boots. I got this gem deodorant because apparently everyone says it smells so nice and it's like two pounds something. I got the hyaluronic acid with vitamin E and shea butter. Okay it does come out white. Oh my god that does smell really good for a deodorant. I spent £10 on this. This is the new Sensodyne clinical white enamel strengthening. My teeth have been sensitive recently and teeth sensitivity is something I've never really struggled with. I've woken up and my front tooth has just been feeling really weird and sensitive all day. Maybe it's because I'm having too many sugary coffees. I also got this because my Kerastase one is getting super super low so I got the Beautyworks 10-in-1 miracle spray because my friend Emma swears by this. She loves it and then I needed some more sanitary towels and I'm trying to not buy certain brands because of things I've been seeing online so I just decided to get Boots version. Thank you so much to the Charlotte Tilbury PR team for arranging this and allowing me to film in your store. Honestly I appreciate it so much and it's really helping me get in like the bridal kind of spirit for like what's to come. I don't know it's all starting to feel a little bit more real now but yeah give this video a thumbs up and let me know what you're thinking. See you soon. Say bye. Goodbye.
