In fact, my obsession with the brand started when my first-ever boss gifted me a product from a Charlotte Tilbury PR package back in 2013. It was the iconic Magic Cream, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Fast forward to today, and one of my most-used products is the Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder, which has earned cult status among beauty fans thanks to its ability to blur pores and leave skin looking smoother in seconds. So when I discovered Charlotte was finally launching a loose powder version, I knew I had to try it. Airbrush Flawless Blur Loose Powder Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush Flawless Blur Loose Powder is an ultra-fine setting powder designed to blur the look of pores, smooth skin and lock makeup in place while providing up to 24 hours of shine control. The lightweight, skincare-infused formula comes in seven shades and promises a soft-focus, airbrushed finish without looking cakey or dry. Buy Now for £40 Enter the new Airbrush Flawless Blur Loose Powder, an ultra-fine setting powder designed to blur, smooth and brighten the skin while locking makeup in place. Inspired by the brand’s bestselling pressed powder, the new formula promises a light-as-air finish that helps minimise the appearance of pores, texture and fine lines, without looking cakey or heavy. I’ll let you in on a little secret: I’ve actually been wearing and testing it for months. And honestly? It’s become one of those products I don’t want to be without. Look how much brighter and FLAWLESS my undereye area now looks! (Picture: Metro/Sarah Bradbury) When it comes to setting my makeup, I’ve always preferred a loose powder formula, but I’ve remained loyal to Charlotte Tilbury’s pressed Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder because I loved the finish it gave. Now, the beauty brand has combined the best of both worlds. The powder comes in seven shades, including Brightening Pink and Brightening Peach, which have been specifically developed to brighten the under-eye area. I’ve been using Brightening Pink, which is ideal for fair to medium skin tones, under my eyes, alongside Translucent Blur Filter across the rest of my face to set my makeup for the day. And the results speak for themselves. Charlotte, you’ve done it again! (Picture: Metro/Sarah Bradbury) Recently, I bumped into a friend on my walk to the bus stop, who immediately commented that I looked ‘snatched’. While I’d love to say that’s down to an excellent night’s sleep, I think the real secret is Charlotte Tilbury’s latest launch.

The powder instantly brightens my under-eye area, helping me look more awake, while softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In fact, my under-eyes have never looked so flawless. Unlike some loose powders I’ve tried, it never feels dry or chalky. Instead, it melts into the skin, setting makeup without dulling the glow underneath. The result is a blurred, soft-focus finish that still looks like real skin. My underye area before had visable fine lines and dark circles. (Picture: Metro/Sarah Bradbury) According to Charlotte Tilbury, 96% of testers agreed their skin looked airbrushed and 94% said it appeared hyper-blurred after use. The formula also promises up to 24 hours of oil and shine control while remaining lightweight and comfortable on the skin – and I have to agree. If you’re already a fan of the Airbrush franchise, this feels like the natural next step. And if you’ve been waiting for Charlotte Tilbury to bring out a loose powder version of her bestselling pressed formula, trust me when I say it was worth the wait.
