Charlotte Tilbury’s Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint: The ‘No Makeup’ Makeup You Need

When makeup marvel Charlotte Tilbury unveils a new product, beauty enthusiasts can’t help but buzz with anticipation. The iconic makeup artist has a knack for creating cult-favourite products that sell out in the blink of an eye.

The latest addition to her renowned beauty line is the Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick £35, which has made its debut today.

This innovative product promises a ring light effect in a stick, offering buildable, sheer-to-light coverage with a super-natural soft glow finish.

The foundation stick is designed for a 15-second application, ensuring a swift and effortless beauty routine.

Here’s the breakdown:

Unreal Glow: This product promises a “ring light effect” with a sheer, buildable coverage. It’s designed for a natural, dewy finish that evens skin tone and leaves you looking fresh.

Hydration Hero: The formula is infused with Collageneer, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, aiming to blur imperfections while keeping your skin moisturized.

Focus on Skin Care: This launch reflects the trend towards foundations that double as skincare.

Shades for Days: It comes in 20 natural looking shades, making it easier to find your perfect match.

The Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick, is poised to become a beauty icon in its own right.

Described as a “ring light in a stick,” this innovative foundation promises a sheer, glowy, and hydrating formula that delivers the ultimate “no-foundation foundation” look.

But that’s not all – it’s also packed with impressive skincare benefits that go well beyond a typical makeup base.

Searches for “skin tint” have skyrocketed reflecting the demand for streamlined routines and hardworking products that prioritise skincare.

With its chic and minimalist packaging, the Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint uses Tilbury’s Light Mapping Mesh Tech and promises a soft-focus, blurred glow that looks ethereal, refreshed, and rested.

Infused with hyaluronic acid, pearlescent pigments, vitamin E, daikon radish seed oil, and Tilbury’s signature plant-powered Collangeneer, this foundation is a true multitasker, nourishing and plumping the skin while enhancing its radiance.

Whether applied directly with fingertips, blended with a damp beauty blender, or buffed in with a stippling brush, the Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick offers versatility in application and buildable coverage.

While it may be particularly well-suited for drier skin types, those seeking a luminous summer glow can achieve a beautiful radiance with strategic placement and setting powder or concealer.

How does the Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint compare to other Charlotte Tilbury foundations?

Coverage: This is her Tilbury’s lightweight option, ideal for those who prefer a “no-makeup makeup” look. If you need more coverage, consider the medium build of Beautiful Skin Foundation or the full-coverage Airbrush Flawless Foundation.

Formula: This is a sheer, tinted hydrating stick formula, while her other foundations like Magic Foundation and Airbrush Flawless Foundation have more traditional liquid or cream textures with buildable to full coverage.

Finish: The Unreal Skin foundation is designed to give a natural, glowy “no-makeup” finish compared to the more perfected, flawless finishes of her other foundations.

Application: Being a stick format, this is meant to be applied directly to the skin and blended out, whereas her liquid/cream foundations utilize brushes, sponges, etc.

Skincare Benefits: This new launch leans into skincare with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and plant-derived collagen boosters, putting more emphasis on hydrating and nourishing the skin compared to just providing coverage.

The Unreal Skin Tint seems positioned as a lightweight, dewy, skin-nourishing option versus Tilbury’s other foundations that prioritise higher coverage and a more perfected, matte or natural-matte finish. It’s meant to be an easy, effortless alternative for a fresh, hydrated complexion on lighter makeup days.

Launching on the Charlotte Tilbury app now and on all retailers from the 20th of June, the Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint caters to the current beauty trend of sheer, skin-loving makeup bases.
