There came a point where Charlotte Tilbury's launch campaigns were as hotly anticipated as the new product itself.
Tilbury's catalogue of stars – Kate Moss, Jourdan Dunn, Lily James – never fails to add an extra dimension of covetable to her already very covetable line. But the latest collaborator that's helped inspire her new launches? Well, he may just take the top spot.
Elton John is the man behind Charlotte's Christmas campaign, and it's the crossover we didn't know we needed, giving us three fabulous new products – two lipsticks and a makeup bag.

Really, partnering two British greats – that's Elton and Charlotte, with the cult Magic Cream as her sidekick – makes complete sense: they're two icons at the top of their games.
Plus, of course, the brand was announced as Founding Beauty Partner of the Elton John Aids Foundation, The Rocket Fund, earlier this year, with contributions helping young people at risk of HIV and AIDS to access support and services.
Speaking about fronting the holiday campaign, Elton said: "I had so much fun stepping into beauty magic and working with Charlotte and her muses to bring this campaign to life.
"When you get people coming together like this, it’s like an express train. This campaign is certainly going to bring the sparkle, joy and glamour this holiday season, all while supporting my Foundation’s life-saving work."
We can only say thank you to Charlotte for doing so, as this unexpected collaboration has inspired not only two dreamy new lipstick shades (which Charlotte – as the mother of Pillow Talk – does so well), but also a velvety star-studded makeup bag.
This cool-toned nude pink will be the perfect accompaniment to any party eye, and we love the appropriately starry packaging.
The ultimate berry-red in a plush, satiny finish.
If you can't decide, there's always both (not forgetting the dreamy makeup bag, either).
