Charlotte Tilbury’s holiday collection consists of a mix of new and previously released products for The Supermodel Look. She has a couple pre-made sets where you can purchase all the items in one kit for the entire look but you can also buy the items individually. I decided to purchase most of the items separately and have swatches and thoughts to share with you today.
Charlotte Tilbury’s collection is my favorite out of all the holiday releases. The colors and combination is quite stunning with the mix of a bronze-smokey eye and nude pink lips. Here are the items I ordered:
- Fallen Angel Luxury Palette ($65, limited-edition) is a really pretty eyeshadow quad with a soft champagne, cool silvery mauve taupe, warm shimmery bronze and a satiny black. I previously compared this to Chanel’s Rêve D’Orient. I have a slight preference for the Chanel, but the Charlotte Tilbury is just as stunning and more cool-toned. I’ve been wearing this a lot and I like how easy it is to use. The four colors combined are pure genius and I like that you can wear this everyday but dress it up for evening. The texture is soft with a slightly creamy texture. The colors adhere well to the lids, blend nicely, layer really well and last long. I give it a huge thumbs up. I think it is different enough from the Chanel to justify both.
- Sex on Fire Cheek to Chic Swish and Pop Blush ($40, permanent) is a luminous blush with a mix of beige and rose and tan. It has a lighter beige-pink on the outer rim with a darker tan-rose in the middle. I’ve accumulated several of Charlotte Tilbury’s blushes and have been really impressed. The texture is super soft with really good pigment. It glides on the skin nicely and layers well if you want more color. The way you are supposed to apply these is to take a brush and swish the outside lighter color and apply to the cheeks. Then take the inner darker color and pop some more color for added depth and pigment. I can’t always get my brush to just get the outside or inside color, so I like to swirl my brush in the entire compact before applying.
- Confession K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick ($32, limited-edition) is the perfect color to get Kylie Jenner lips. It’s a good medium-toned nude pink with color. There is a slight hint of shimmer which prevents it from looking flat, but on my lips it’s primarily a cream. The coverage is full and the texture is very creamy. It is medium-to-thick which makes it adhere really well to the lips and I found it lasted quite long without any lipliner. I hope she considers making this permanent.
- Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Lip Lustre ($22, limited-edition) is a light neutral pink beige with silvery champagne shimmer. I really love this lip gloss. The color is the prettiest light pearly beige. It works well alone for me, although I think most people will prefer this one layered over a lipstick. It has a sheer to medium coverage that adds the prettiest shimmery nude sheen to the lips.
- Pillowtalk Lip Cheat Lip Pencil ($22, permanent) is a rosy neutral lipliner that matches Confession lipstick. I’m not a lipliner wearer much these days but so many have raved about it I had to check it out. It’s a good long-lasting creamy shade that you can use to line and fill the lips for added volume.

If you’re looking for one brand that will give you a complete look for the holiday or new year (or year round) the items in Charlotte Tilbury’s The Supermodel Look is a good one to check out. I researched reviews on a number of blogs before purchasing the items sight unseen and the shades look great on all different skin tones.
I like every single item in the collection and I think they are worth every penny. I could have skipped the lipliner since I rarely wear liners these days, but Pillowtalk is a good nude pink.
Do note the best items in the look are limited-edition. I would recommend ordering soon if you’re interested. The Confession Lipstick and Fallen Angel Quad have sold out numerous times on multiple sites but the good news is that many have restocked over the past week. You can find Charlotte Tilbury Beauty online at Nordstrom, Net-A-Porter, Bergdorf Goodman, Beautylish, Selfridges and Charlotte Tilbury.
Did you buy any of the holiday items from Charlotte Tilbury?
What was your favorite holiday collection this year?
That eyeshadow palette looks really stunning! Though I can't justify buying one more eye palette since I have many similar colors but at least I can admire it 🙂
I admire your restraint! I agree I could have probably found similar colors but I really like the texture and ease of use.
Gah I am sooo tempted by Fallen Angel, but I don't think I'll use the black too often (it's a tricky shade for my eye shape)! I'm eyeing Pillow Talk even tho I don't use lip liner much at all. It seems nude enough but not the type of nude that will wash me out terribly!
Matte/satin black eyeshadows are hard for me to pull off, the one in this palette layers really nicely for a smokey eye. But unless you love all the shades then I say save for something you'll really love 100%.
The Fallen Angel palette looks so great. I've yet to try CT x
wow everything looks amazing!! I love Charlotte Tilbury products. I've never tried any before but all the review have been good. The lipsticks look lovely on you x
Have a Happy New Year

The blush is lovely!!
I really like the palette but I fear it would pull much warmer on my cool skin tone. I'd have swatch it!
There are lots of reviews and swatches, I think it won't pull warm except for the bronze shade.
I love Charlotte Tilbury's supermodel collection. I have had my eye on the Fallen Angel palette and just might have to splurge before it's discontinued! Hope you have a great New Years!

I adore Charlotte Tilbury. l bought Fallen Angel and find it to be very versatile. I was concerned about the black but I use it as a liner. The Confession Kissing Lipstick is very pretty. However, my favorite is Penelope Pink. Her lipsticks are smooth, creamy and apply with one coat. I think it has become my favorite brand. It is worth every penny.
How does Sex on Fire compare to Chanel Angelique? I mostly use TF Love Lust and Frantic Pink. I loved your CT and recent Chanel posts – I purchased Desinvolte and just ordered Confession! Thanks!
I love the Charlotte Tilbury make-up. Just made an order at Selfridges.
I totally love Charlotte Tilbury. Only own four products for now, but I absolutely adore them and will be surely getting more in the future. Confession looks like a very nice lipstick, love it!
These are all lovely and I've struggled to get them for Christmas gifts here in the UK as they are constantly going out of stock or not being restocked. Get them whilst you can!
I really want that palette, it is beautiful.
