My career as a makeup artist began in the early ’90s, working backstage at fashion shows with all of the biggest supermodels, from there I went on to work with the most genius creatives and luxury fashion houses on global campaigns, with celebrities for red carpets and editorial shoots” - Charlotte Tilbury, founder, president and chief creative officer, Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Ltd
When did you realise you wanted to pursue beauty professionally?
“From a young age I was always walking a path towards artistry. I grew up in Ibiza, surrounded by a melting pot of creatives and visionaries who sparked my own creativity – it was so bohemian and magical! The first time I knew I wanted to pursue beauty professionally came when I was 13-years-old. I discovered a tube of mascara and when I applied it, I instantly felt more confident and more empowered. I have very fair eyelashes and wearing mascara completely transformed my eyes! People reacted to me in a very different, positive way! It was mascara that showed me the power of makeup and from that moment I knew I needed to share it with the world and that one day, I would create my own beauty company. Mascara changed my life at 13, and I still get that same feeling of empowerment today when I’m wearing my Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes mascara! My career as a makeup artist began in the early ’90s, working backstage at fashion shows with all of the biggest supermodels, from there I went on to work with the most genius creatives and luxury fashion houses on global campaigns, with celebrities for red carpets and editorial shoots – I feel incredibly lucky to have the most magical career!
