I think I’ve found my ultimate summer glow with the Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm Collection! I picked up almost all of the new pieces at Nordstrom and think everything is just so stunning. I’ve been such a long time fan of Charlotte Tilbury from the very first day her products launched in the US. So many of you have asked me, “if there’s one brand that you had to stick with for the entire face, what would it be?” One of my top picks would Charlotte Tilbury – her line has something in every category from base, cheeks, eyes, lips etc. that I love. Today I’ve partnered with Nordstrom to share some beauty looks featuring the new Glowgasm Palettes. I’ve mixed in products from her existing lineup to give you ideas on how to wear everything!
Glowgasm Face Palettes
There are two Glowgasm Face Palettes in Lightgasm and Lovegasm. Each one has four shades for the face including a bronzer, blush and highlighters. They’re absolutely gorgeous and give the skin a very pretty lit from within kind of glow. The formula has a unique almost cream-like gel to powder finish. They’re soft to the touch and are like a solid cream but apply like a powder. You can apply wet or dry, on the eyes or cheeks. Application is smooth, it doesn’t emphasize my pores or skin imperfections, lasting power is excellent and they adhere really well to the skin.
Lightgasm
The Glowgasm Face Palette in Lightgasm is the lighter option of the two and on my medium tan complexion this pulls more like a highlighter palette. It’s really pretty on both the eyes or cheeks. I applied with a lighter hand layering all four shades – you can intensify with a damp brush. Colors are a pale yellow champagne gold, a light shimmering peach, a neutral contour satiny bronze and a duo chrome pink-gold.
Makeup look below wearing the lighter option, since the shades run lighter this is more of a glow palette on my complexion with a little bit of dimension with the deeper colors. It has a nice soft and diffused kind of look on the cheeks.
Full beauty breakdown using the Lightgasm Face Palette:
- Base: Light Wonder Foundation in 7
- Powder: Airbrush Flawless Finish in 2
- Eyeshadows: Eyes to Mesmerize in Rose Gold + Eye Palette in The Dolce Vita
- Eyeliner: Rock n Kohl in Barbarella Brown
- Mascara: Legendary Lashes 2 in Black
- Cheeks: Lightgasm Palette, all four shades
- Lips: Prep with the Collagen Lip Bath for shine, then layer KISSING Lipstick in Bitch Perfect with Lip Cheat Liner in Iconic Nude on top
Lovegasm
The Glowgasm Palette in Lovegasm is the deeper one and if I had to pick just one this would be it. It has deeper variations of a yellow gold highlighter, deeper peach shimmer, medium tan bronze and a glimmering coral gold shimmer. This has enough color to look like I’m wearing blush on the face. As a peach lover this couldn’t be more perfect for me.

Glowgasm Beauty Wand Highlighters
There are three new Beauty Wand Highlighters. I bought two of them in Peachgasm and Pinkgasm. Both have enough color that I feel like I could get away with wearing these as a shimmering blush. Both have a twist open cap. Squeeze the tube to dispense product into a sponge applicator and then dab on the face anywhere you want a highlight. They have an iridescent finish and a really nice dry down. The Beauty Wands stay creamy long enough to blend and once they set they stay put on the face. Swatches with two different light settings and angles to show depth and shine.
I have a look below with the Pinkgasm – you can see it swatched on the face straight out of the tube and then blended out alone. For a more complete look you can add bronzer, contour, blush or whatever suits your mood. I applied it alone like a face swatch to give you a sense of how it looks on the skin just by itself. Beauty breakdown wearing:
- Base: Magic Foundation in Shades 6 + 7 mixed (has fuller coverage compared to Light Wonder)
- Powder: Airbrush Flawless Finish in 2
- Eyeshadows: Eyes to Mesmerize in Rose Gold + Eye Palette in Pillow Talk
- Eyeliner: Rock n Kohl in Barbarella Brown
- Mascara: Legendary Lashes 2 in Black
- Cheeks: Beauty Light Wand in Pinkgasm
- Lips: Prep with the Collagen Lip Bath, add Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk with Lip Cheat Liner in Pillow Talk on top
_________________
Overall love and I give everything a solid thumbs up. As one who loves a good glow I think you really can’t go wrong with either palette. If you have medium to deep skin, opt for Lovegasm for a more complete look. Lightgasm is really pretty as well but will be more like a highlighting glow palette. I hope the three beauty looks give you ideas on how to coordinate the colors! I think both are very versatile to wear with any kind of lip or eye. Charlotte Tilbury has a wide range of neutral lips alongside bolder bright shades.
I think these will be perfect all summer long. I was initially worried they might be too glowy but the finish is really pretty and easy to blend out. Textures and finishes are going to also be perfect for warm weather months as they adhere to the skin really well and stay put!
You can find the Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm Collection out at Nordstrom now. If you’re shopping online don’t forget to check out their Gift With Purchase options as well!
Many thanks to Nordstrom for sponsoring this post. All items purchased by me. As always all opinions my own.














The Lightgasm palette is calling my name, but I know I don’t need it!
LOL I totally understand how you feel 🙂
This palette is absolutely dreamy! CT always comes out with beautiful products. I love the way that Beauty Light Wand looks.

They’re really pretty this round!
It all looks so beautiful, as I get older I become more into the glowy look so I feel like I’d love the lighter palette and the highlighters, they look amazing.

The palettes surprised me in a good way!
This new collection from Charlotte Tilbury is beautiful.
I have the lightgasm face palette and love it. The shades are so pretty.

What an awesome collection! I’m sure it is selling-out as we speak!!
The Lightgasm palette looks awesome!
The Lovegasm Palette is so pretty. It reminds me so much of the Nars Orgasm Summer Collection.
These are so pretty! The highlighters really doing it for me right now are the Rituel de Fille Luminizers. I managed to get The Enchantress and am adoring it.
These palettes look beautiful! My favorite highlighters are from Becca, but I really have to stay strong, and not order the Lovegasm Palette 🙂
LOVE these, but think it might be too much for an everyday look. For a summer glow, my favorite will always be Guerlain’s Terracotta line. Tom Ford’s Golden Peach shadow is my go-to pink shadow (looks dupable to this shade above), but the CT creams are a lovely formula.
I have a little mini of the kevin aucoin candlelight highlighter that I absolutely love. It is so natural and not glittery
The original beauty wand highlighter is my favourite.
I will have to try these palettes, they are beautiful! My favorite highlighter right now is the Hourglass Strobing powder, it isn’t too shimmery and the coverage can continue to be built upon. Love the blog! ❤️
Love Charlotte Tilbury! I need to get my hands on that Lightgasm palette!!
While I love the packaging and the brand in general, I find these products to be too “shiny/glowy” for me. I’m thankful that you swatched them though so I could see how they turn out even when used with a light application.
My favourite glow product right now is actually my sunscreen. LOL! I kid you not. I’m currently using the RMK (Japanese brand) sunscreen, and if I wear just a bit of concealer and blush on top, my cheeks glow with health. Other than that, I’m enjoying my Dior lolliglow highlighters I bought a few months ago.
I love the Aveeno max glow infusion drops and Chanel’s baum essential for that dewy glow
My favorite highlighters range from Essence to Chantecaille! It’s so difficult picking a favorite, I love them all
I prefer a lower key glow, my favourite products being the Ambient Lighting powders and blushes from Hourglass and the byTerry Compact Expert Dual Powder. High octane glow looks great on others, but it’s not my cup of tea.
Lately I have been using MAC Luster drops and Hyper Real which I totally forgot about until I started cleaning out my stash
soo beautiful i love the pink background!! my favorite highlighter is the marc jacobs spotlight stick – doesn’t emphasize texture!
I have a few highlighters I like- the Laura Mercier matte one, a Dior one and a Wet n’ Wild one!
Favorite glow these days in this humidity is Tom Ford, Kevyn Aucoin, and ByTerry.
I am tempted to try the Hollywood filter. Is it truly revolutionary?
I’m not an overly glowy girl but I do love Charlotte’s Hollywood Flawless Filter. It’s so versatile. It was worth the investment. On a daily basis, my favorite highlighter is Laura Mercier’s baked highlighter. Just a hint of light to look lit from within
Thank you for a great post! Ugh..i have so many highlighters. I still use the Becca X Chrissy Teigen Glow Face Palette highlighter in there a lot. I also just bought the Natasha Denona Tan palette and Bloom palette as well for more glow!
By Terry CC Serum, Cle de Peau Luminizers and Chantecaille highlights
I find the CT a little too light / dark for me, and no happy medium. I am really loving the champagne pop by becca
Am still looking to finish off my current highlighters before getting any new ones, although these look stunning! A staple is Becca’s Opal and Moonstone. If I want a more subtle glow I go for Hourglass Incandescent Light that I have in the classic trio palette.
I definitely love Hourglass Ambient Lighting powders. Also Kevyn Aucoin. I don’t use highlighters often though.
My most-used one is Becca Opal in the liquid form. I like a subtler glow as a rule. I like RMS Living Luminizer too, and I really like a cream for summer, so I’ll dig that out of the bottom of my bag soon!
I love mac’s strobe cream for that lit from within glow. Becca highlights are a favorite too.
I don’t usually wear highlighter anymore but I do have the CT Filmstar bronze duo and I absolutely adore it.
I’ve rediscovered the Becca champagne pop highlighter. So beautiful!
I love the Becca highlighters – they are my favorites – and I own almost every shade! I also enjoy the Marc Jacobs dew drops as a mix in with foundation.
My favourite highlighters are the Hourglass palettes, so easy to apply and so stunning
I love the hourglass ambient lighting powders, and blushes!
I have always been a big fan of Charlotte Tilbury’s line, especially the flawless filter and filmstar bronze and glow.
I love the Chanel Baume Essentiel in Sculpting; subtlety at its finest! Can’t wait to try the new highlighter/bronzer from the Cruise Collection (thanks so much for the detailed review!)
Becca Champagne and Fenty mean money/hustla baby
I have been addicted to ColourPop’s super shock highlighters. Smoke and Whistles is my go-to.
I have two Chanel powder highlighters (Signe du Lion Or Blanc and the Lion-Highlighter from the Collection Libre 2018) which I like but rarely use (don’t find the time usually and they feel too glamorous for daily life;) ; but I grew surprisingly fond of the Baume Essentiel in Sculpting (also Chanel;).
I find the new Cruise Collection very appealing but, as I don’t highlight that much, I really shouldn’t buy those “Duos” 😉
I only like a little glow, so I’ve been using Laura Mercier’s matte radiance bronzer and a little Nars orgasm blush. I know- I’m very conservative with my glowy makeup!
Cool I like the shades.. hour glass palettes make a good gift.
The lighter palette looks lovely; will have to save for it! Right now my favourite highlighter is very subtle – the RMS luminizer.
I love the Hourglass Ambient Lighting powders & Charlotte Tillbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter! I love a ‘lit from within’ natural glow.
I prefer a more subtle overall glow so I’ve been using Laura Mercier Candleglow a lot lately.
I haven’t tried any of these highlighters but am now very tempted. I do like Hourglass Ambient lighting powders and have a fondness for some of Becca’s original liquid formulas like Opal.
And we are now spoilt for choice!
What do you think about glow products and oliy skin?
I remember my Clinique sunstick applied around the eyes giving me a lovely the-evening-after-beachday glow, I imagine Chanel’s Baume Essentiel achieving a similar effect.
I really want to try those beauty wand highlighters. I’m currently loving NARS Free Soul highlighting blush.
I’m just discovering highlighter and need this!
My longtime favorite highlighters are the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Bronze and Guerlain Meteorites.
