Charlotte Tilbury's Black Friday sale is LIVE – here's what our editors are buying
Line up beauty lovers, the Charlotte Tilbury deals are here
The Charlotte Tilbury Black Friday sale is pretty iconic, and this year is no exception. Right now, you can secure all the glowy favourites, at a fraction of the price.
The brand is offering up to 30% on its best-sellers, from the Hollywood Flawless Filter collection, to the universally-flattering Pillow Talk range. With party season just around the corner, it's the perfect time to amp up the glitz and glimmer.
And no one does full red carpet quite like Charlotte Tilbury, with the range packed full of gorgeous highlighters, sparkly eyeshadows and pout-perfecting lipsticks . When it comes to taking it all off, there's also has a vast range of ultra-hydrating skincare for that post-party recovery.

There's currently 20% off everything on the Charlotte Tilbury site. And the more you spend, the more discounts you unlock – there's 25% off orders over £100 and 30% off orders over £150. Note, the discounts are applied at checkout.
If you can't get what you want there, Cult Beauty and John Lewis are also offering discounts on the range.
There's an overwhelming amount to choose from, though, so we asked the Good Housekeeping team to share their personal favourites. When you write about products all day every day, you know when deals are worth cashing in on, and when they're over-inflated, so read on for what our editors will genuinely be stocking up on this weekend.
We've also included some of the Good Housekeeping Institute's tried and tested products, which left our testing panel glowing.
"From its voluptuous bottle to its curvy wand, everything about this mascara says ‘full-fat and fabulous Hollywood glamour’. The formula itself more than lives up to that first impression, giving lashes thickness, lift and length, all without flaking off (a common trade-off with volumising mascaras, I’ve found.)
If subtle is what you’re after, look elsewhere! I’ve had a couple of ‘are those lash extensions?’ comments wearing this." Lynne Hyland, Beauty Director
Though the brand is known for high coverage, skin perfecting foundations, makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury also recognises the need for healthy skin underneath it all. Which is why she created the Magic Cream, an ultra-hydrating moisturiser.
It impressed our testing panel in our Beauty Hall of Fame Awards, with its skin plumping and firming results, earning a score of 84/100. Note, it is a thick cream so won't be for everyone, but if it's indulgence you're after, you've come to the right place.
“The Magic Cream works wonders on my skin. I love to douse my face in it once I've taken my makeup off after sitting in a skin-drying office environment all day. You can visibly see the hydrating effects it has as it leaves a gleaming, long-lasting glow. I've received a few compliments when wearing it out while barefaced too – which makes a welcome change from the classic 'you look tired'!" Maddie Evans, GHI Lifestyle Writer
"For me, Black Friday is a chance to stock up on my favourite fragrances, and get some for Christmas gifting. This year, CT's eponymous brand launched six killer scents, and this one is my favourite.
They're designed to marry aromatherapy with delicious scents, to enhance your mood. Joyphoria really does spark joy for me – it blends ylang ylang and vanilla for creaminess and a little neroli to freshen it up, and it's bound to win you compliments at your work Christmas party.
I always get asked what I've got on when I wear it to the pub. Plus, if you're keen to make any millennials or Gen Zs in your life smile on Christmas Day, this is the way to do it, darling." Florence Reeves-White, GHI Senior Beauty Writer
Glow up twofold with this buy-one-get-one-free deal on the brand's Beauty Light wands.
The highlighter scored an impressive 87/100 in our Hall of Fame makeup awards, earning its place as runner up in our round-up. Our panellists loved its long-lasting gleam, which layered well with their makeup base.
GHI Lifestyle Writer, Maddie Evans, took part in the test and no won't leave home without it. "I will always choose liquid highlighter over powder, and the Light Wands further proved my point. My favourite shade is Peachgasm, as it acts as both a blusher and highlighter."
"Thanks to rejuvenating ingredients such as brightening vitamin C and hydrating shea butter, this really works to reduce the appearance of my fine lines around the eyes where the skin is particularly delicate.
When we tested it at the Good Housekeeping Institute, panel members said it absorbed quickly into skin, and left behind a brighter and more youthful appearance. It really is a little bit magic." Florence Reeves-White, GHI Senior Beauty Writer
“I have been through countless bottles of CT’s Hollywood Flawless Filter, and I think it would probably be my desert island beauty product. I just love the lovely glow it gives my skin, and you can either wear it by itself for light coverage days or mix it with your foundation for added luminosity.
Much like an Instagram filter, it’s you, but a little bit glossier. I've used my current one so much, the gold writing has actually rubbed off the glass bottle.” Alison Lynch, GHI Head of Content
“I’m not a huge makeup wearer, but when I needed a nude lipstick for some bridesmaid duties, there was only one I wanted to try: the iconic Pillow Talk.
And I wasn’t disappointed – it feels super velvety when I swipe it on, and it’s great for those occasions when I want a slightly more full face of make up than usual. Plus, I was impressed with how long it lasts. It’s more than earned its spot in my makeup bag.” Hannah Mendelsohn, GHI Homes Editor
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Iconic Lip And Cheek Secrets Makeup Gift Set
"The CT makeup gift sets are the perfect stocking fillers! I received this lip and cheek one last year and absolutely loved it. So much so, that I ended up buying the full sized version of the lipliner. I will definitely be adding it to my own Christmas wish list this year." Megan Geall, GHI Homes Writer
"I usually try and remove my makeup before every gym class, but on the occasion where I'm running late and jump straight from the office to a pilates session, my makeup is completely intact thanks to this setting spray.
It adds a refreshing glow to my face immediately, and it lasts all day – even beyond my last set of leg circles!" Priyankaa Joshi, GHI Senior Health & Wellness Writer
When does the Black Friday sale end?
Many brands and retailers have been offering discounts throughout the month of November, but the Black Friday weekend is now officially here and it will run until midnight on Cyber Monday (2 December). And when those deals are gone, they're gone.
So, whether you're restocking your makeup bag essentials, or finally giving in to your ever-growing wish list, there's no time better than the present. Mwah!
