British make-up artist Charlotte Tilbury hasn’t looked back since she set up her eponymous make-up and skincare brand in 2013, making her “Give a woman the right make-up and she can conquer the world” strapline somewhat prophetic.
Bolstered by her celebrity connections and high profile as an influencer, Tilbury’s luxury beauty brand has grown phenomenally rapidly and boasts a growing portfolio of prestigious stockists including Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Net-a-Porter and Space NK.
While the brand now has a global presence, with dedicated websites across Europe, North America and Australia, it continues to be rooted in the UK. The UK website is supported by two London flagship stores – at Covent Garden and Westfield, which offer immersive brand experiences and masterclasses. It is also moving into concessions in selected UK department stores, including John Lewis and Fenwick.
