I already have the Filmstar bronze & glow palette but looking into some of her other products.

Does anyone have any experiences they would like to share esp with her Light Wonder Foundation, her blush and the Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder? I'm interested in getting these three things but still on the fence about taking the plunge!

Please let me know, many BTers opinions have helped me out on products before 😄 Thanks in advance!

Hi and welcome to BT! Your comments about the supportive nature of those who post here ring true to me. I was remarking to my spouse just yesterday how kind, supportive and informative the BT community is. I lLook forward to more of your posts.

Re: CT or TF foundations, my skin tone is light-to-medium with periodic flushing. I tend to wear foundations with medium to full coverage. I do like and have repurchased Charlotte Tilbury's Light Wonder Foundation. I tried a sample of CT's Magic Foundation but I found it drying. I've not tried Tom Ford foundations.

Thank you so much! Just ordered the #GloMo face pallet & am so excited! I really wanted to order 'The Golden Goddess' collection, but will have to work on that slowly.

I'd also love to try either Charlotte Tilbury's or Tom Fords foundation but have to drive about an hour & a half into Philly (I had my entire lumbar spine fused so sitting for longer than 10 minutes makes me 😰)

...which is the closest Nordstrom which we know carries Charlottte Tilbury!

As I would really like to be colormatched & see the products prior to purchasing on line.

If any of you wear CT or TF foundation, would you mind sharing your thoughts with me?

(How do I obtain hearts so I can do swaps)

😘❤️💄

Hi @anya33

Just a couple thoughts for you - if you can find a nice sales associate at a counter in a department store, they can often be helpful in assisting with products (even via email or telephone). (I have a Nordstrom SA I shop with, and we stay in touch by email and phone. She also helps me if I'm looking for a product or a sample of a certain type. And then just ships my order to me.)

I've also had good experiences shopping with the Charlotte Tilbury direct website. Not quite as many sales or deals, but there are some once in a while. They have free shipping and offer samples, including foundation samples for you to pick out with an order. With some of the foundations, CT will actually automatically include samples of that foundation so you can test it prior to opening up your new bottle.

Which foundations and shades have you found matched you? I've tried some of the foundations from CT and TF so I might be able to help.

As for hearts, other users typically give you hearts based on your posts - particularly if they found your post helpful, or if they liked the content you were sharing. It's basically like contributing to and becoming part of the community here 🙂

Hope you enjoy your first CT palette!

Some comparison swatches for the blush 5 in Beauty Glow

zwig · ‎04-21-2017

Some more Beauty Glow swatches on someone who is NC15. Beauty Glow is on the left and Natural Look is on the right. I destashed Seductive Look a little while ago because it didn't really suit me.

the lightest BG shade is very similar to the middle NL shade (just slightly rosier). Middle shade is a rose copper and the darkest is a pigmented red brown. Not sure what aill do with the darkest blush color but it's nice t have the option for someone with darker skin than mine. They will likely be disappointed at how light the bronzer shade is (though I really like it). It's quite close to the original NL.

Hi, @zwig, don't be discouraged about the darker blush shade despite how dark it looks. Those shades require a very light hand. Savage is one of my favorite Tom Ford blushes, which looks unwearable in the pan but is most gorgeous on the cheeks. I often top it with Ravage or Wicked and it's a stunner. It also might make a nice eyeshadow. I used the bronzer shade in the Seductive palette in lieu of the grey middle shade, and its addition gave a surprisingly lovely bronze-y look.

Mochapj · ‎04-24-2017

@zwig seconding what @TraceyEB said

I have both Savage and the new CT and I find Savage has looked a lot better on fairer folks than it does on my olivey/tan skintone 😉

In all but my winter months it makes me look muddy and I think that will be the case for the CT blush 5 shade as well, once I take on any additional summer color.

I'm sure these will look lovely on you, with a light hand!

@TraceyEB @Mochapj

You guys were right, of course. The dark blush actually ends up looking SPECTACULAR on me. I applied with a small Hakuhodo duo fiber brush to keep it sheer and it's really, really beautiful on.

I actually love this palette so much (it's just perfect for blue eyes!) I'm considering buying a backup. And I never buy backups!

TraceyEB · ‎04-25-2017

@zwig So happy to hear you like the dark blush shade and love the palette!! Yay!!

flyte · ‎04-22-2017

@zwig thanks for the swatches! this is very tempting now since it seems close to the Natural Look! Maybe I'll wait and see if Nordstrom does a Anniversary set with it :x
