For beauty enthusiasts across the UK, the arrival of Charlotte Tilbury's Black Friday sale is a major event. On November 28, 2025, the iconic British brand launched a sitewide discount of 25% off everything, offering a rare chance to invest in its cult-favourite products.
The Mirror's team of beauty writers, who are self-confessed fans of the brand, have seized this opportunity to share their most-coveted items that are now available at a reduced price. From foundation sticks to luxury eyeshadow palettes, these are the products they consistently recommend.
Expert's Foundation Pick For A Flawless Finish
Senior Fashion & Beauty Writer Eve Rowlands champions the Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick. Originally priced at £35, it's now available for £26.25.
Eve praises this product for its second-skin feel and buildable coverage, which avoids a cakey appearance. It's a skincare-makeup hybrid, enriched with hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, vitamin E, and daikon radish seed oil. Its 'collageneer and light mapping mesh tech' work to blur imperfections and improve skin's firmness.
She notes it delivers a no-makeup-makeup vibe that is perfect for everyday wear and travel, though she suggests a more heavyweight foundation like the Airbrush Flawless Foundation for tougher blemishes.
Must-Have Mascara And Setting Spray
Eve also highlights the Exagger-Eyes Volume Mascara, reduced from £28 to £21. This mascara promises nine times more volume and is smudge, flake, and humidity-proof. Its unique brush and formula provide significant length and definition, though she notes it can be tricky to apply to bottom lashes and requires patience to remove.
For a makeup look that lasts all day, Melisha Kaur recommends the Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray£24. Infused with Japanese green tea, it hydrates the skin and locks makeup in place, preventing shine and the need for constant touch-ups.
Eyeshadow, Lipstick And Highlighter Heroes
Lucy Addicott's essential is the Pillow Talk Luxury Eyeshadow Palette£34.50. She praises its creamy, blendable formula and powerful pigment, though wishes the mirror was larger for travel.
When it comes to lipstick, Phoebe Barton swears by Hot Lips Secret Salma£21.75 from £29, complements pale complexions without drying out the lips thanks to its moisturising modern-matte finish.
Finally, Lauren Codling adores the Beauty Light Wand£22.50 from £30, its pearlescent finish and magic cushion applicator create a lit-from-within sheen without any glitter or streaks.
With these expert-approved picks now on sale, Charlotte Tilbury's Black Friday event is the perfect time to invest in high-performance beauty that delivers a red-carpet ready look.
