It’s my favorite time of the year — aka, award show season. Yesterday marked the 96th Academy Awards and all of my favorite actresses were in attendance, donning straight-from-the-runway gowns and classic Hollywood glamour. I was most anticipating Emily Blunt’s red carpet look since she received a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in Oppenheimer, and she didn’t disappoint. She wore a champagne-beaded Schiaparelli gown with head-turning, floating shoulder straps, and a full soft glam face featuring my go-to makeup brand: Charlotte Tilbury.
To achieve her pore-free red carpet look, her makeup artist Jenn Streicher used the skin-smoothing and plumping Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream as a base. It’s currently on sale in celebration of the Oscars; you can get 20 percent off the entire site when you spend $60 or more with code REDCARPET. But hurry, the sale ends March 14.

You may be wondering what’s so magical about the Charlotte Tilbury cream. It’s formulated with vitamins E and C to brighten and even the skin’s complexion, as well as peptides to fill in wrinkles and plump up sagging skin. It also includes hyaluronic acid and shea butter which nourish the skin and provide up to 24 hours of moisture, per the brand.
It’s a personal favorite of mine as it leaves my skin baby-smooth and super supple upon immediate application. Plus, with continuous use, it’s improved my skin's elasticity, firmness, and reduced the appearance of fine lines; the lines between my brows and around my lips have nearly disappeared after a few months of use. But what I love most about this cream is that I no longer experience dry patches under my makeup, and my foundations and concealers just glide across my face, really giving that second-skin appearance.
I also found that after switching from another cream, I didn’t suffer any new breakouts with the Magic Cream. I wear it mainly as an evening moisturizer as it’s a bit on the heavier side, but when I do wear during the day, it’s a great substitute for primer. All you need is a dime-size amount (a little goes a long way) and the texture is comparable to other higher-end creams I’ve used. It melts down into the skin effortlessly and keeps it hydrated all day.
While we may only see the finished makeup masterpieces on the red carpet, it’s the skincare behind those looks that truly gives them that flawless finish like we saw on Blunt. I don’t know about you, but I’ll definitely be restocking the Magic Cream and more of the Charlotte Tilbury products Emily Blunt used to achieve her Oscar-nominee look while they’re 20 percent off if you spend $60 or more using code REDCARPET.
