When we saw and heard the news that Charlotte Tilbury was launching a new foundation, we knew immediately that it would be a ‘run, don’t walk’ situation – and boy, were we right.

With a waitlist amassing nearly 16,000 people, the £35 Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint is everything you’d want in a foundation – and some – thanks to the ‘ring-light effect’ it gives your skin, in as little as 15 seconds we might add.

The latest innovation from Charlotte and her team of genii offers a ‘second-skin’ feel with a ‘soft-focus blur’ effect.

And even though it’s only been available to buy for a few hours, it’s already been hailed as the ultimate foundation stick by many users.

Gaining an already respectable 4.6 stars on the brand’s website, 114 people have already rated the Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint the full five.

Terminatrix said: ‘It can be pretty difficult to find the right foundation, but the Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick does a great job. It glides on smoothly as the foundation is quite creamy and blends well with either a sponge or brush or even just your fingertips. It’s provides a sheer dewy finish and isn’t cakey at all. You can just pop the stick in your handbag and use it for touch-ups during the day if need be.’

Kriistiinam hailed the product as ‘ethereal beauty’, and mentioned: ‘I swatched the foundation on my hand firstly. It has a lovely, creamy and soft texture. It glides on in a balm-like consistency’.

She went on to add: ‘This foundation applies like a dream! I did 3 swipes on my cheeks and forehead and used a brush to buff it into my skin. It melted beautifully and it had the most gorgeous – almost iridescent – effect to my skin. I couldn’t stop looking at my complexion.’

‘Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint is a really lovely product,’ added Ingab6.

She also said: ‘It comes in a classy tube that’s really easy to use. The tint 3 fair suits my skin very well. When applying the stick it glides on the skin and leaves just the right amount. My skin looks healthy and glowing when I apply it. It also leaves my skin well moisturised. I love it.’

Even though the new foundation launched today, our FYP on TikTok has been flooded with many influencers sharing their opinion on the hotly anticipated item. In fact, quite a few have said that it’s like a foundation version of the best-selling Hollywood Flawless Filter – which is a cult beauty product in our eyes.

Charlotte said on her official release: ‘They call me the queen of glow because I’ve mastered every type: from the red-carpet diva light mega-watt glow of Hollywood Flawless Filter, to the gorgeous spotlight glow captured by my Beauty Light Wands, and the illuminating red carpet glow of Hollywood Glow Glide Face Architect.

‘But I’m always innovating! In my magic innovation lab, I’ve created a brand new glow formula in a new glow foundation, promising a super-natural, ring-light effect glow!

Unreal Skin delivers a smooth, soft-focus, blurred glow that looks incredibly natural, leaving your face looking naturally beautiful, refreshed, and rested, like after a relaxing holiday.

If you love no-foundation foundation or effortless makeup, you’ll adore this. Achieve that naturally beautiful skin glow that everyone will question: ‘Is it real? Or is it unreal?’

We’re asking ourselves the same thing Charlotte, darling…
