Unless you’ve been living under a beauty rock for the past 10 years, I have no doubt you would have heard of Charlotte Tilbury and her celebrity-loved product, Magic Cream!

If you haven’t seen the red-haired beauty appear on your TV screens or heard anyone around you audibly gasp (yes, I’m being serious) when they spot a Charlotte Tilbury counter, let me introduce you.

Now I won’t give you the whole spiel, we can save that for another time but Charlotte worked backstage for years working on models and celebrities alike but could never find the perfect base for makeup. She started mixing and concocting her own formulas and voila.. enter Magic Cream.

It was so loved and so popular in fact that when she launched her brand 10 years ago this September, in Selfridges Oxford Street, she surpassed her own targets, completely sold out and left everyone around her in awe. Magic Cream, is still to this day Charlotte’s award winning (11 to be precise), best seller with 1 jar sold every 2 minutes around the world!

Now what makes it so magic I hear you ask? Magic Cream is an instant turnaround moisturiser that gives hydrated, glowing and plumper looking skin. The clinical results (tested on 16 people) claim it boosts hydration by 226% in 1 hour, skin appears firmer by 188% and it visibly reduces the look of wrinkles in just 4 weeks!

From my own love and use of Magic Cream whether that be on myself or clients of all ages, it’s no doubt that it’s a huge hit and the perfect base for makeup. However, people were wanting an alternative, the same amazing results but better suited for sensitive skins and now I can introduce and share with you all, Charlotte Tilbury’s latest innovation, Magic Water Cream! Drenches like a water cream and revives like a Magic Cream – let’s dive into the claims.

KEY INGREDIENT CALL OUTS

• Waterlocking Fusion Technology for 100-hour hydration (tested on 33 people) with every application thanks to the Aquaporin which trains the skin barrier to retain more moisture
• Niacinamide to help balance skin and refine the appearance of pores
• Biopeptide Complex to improve the appearance of skin tone and texture

KEY CLAIMS SUMMARY

• Instantly hydrates for a fresh water glow
• Lightweight bouncy gel-cream texture
• Reduces the look of pores
• Redness appears reduced
• Fragrance-free and silicone-free
• No SPF
• Cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny Approved

I’ve been using the Magic Water Cream for a few weeks and I have to say, I’m really impressed. With it being SPF free, I’ve been using this both morning and night. If you use a retinal in your skincare regime so can’t use the Magic Night Cream or simply just prefer to use one product for both morning and night, this is for you. I can instantly feel and see the hydration and plumpness with my redness reduced and trust me when I say a little really does go a long way!

I have tried and tested the Magic Water Cream on myself when wearing makeup and even under makeup in the gym and suffice to say, my makeup had never looked better! I have a combination-oily skin type and find my oiliness is kept at bay without compromising the glowy finish I desire or my skin’s hydration.

It goes without saying that this is definitely an investment skincare product sitting at £79 RRP (accurate at the time of posting) however for me, it’s worth it! With being able to use this both morning and night, underneath makeup and having hydrated yet balanced skin I can certainly justify the price tag!
