A brand new cream bronzer from CT with a very long name! Here’s a look at the Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer which is coming in 4 shades. I have photos and swatches for you.

What is Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer?

New cream bronzer designed to give the skin a sun-kissed glow with skincare benefits:

• HYDRATING HYALURONIC ACID – locks in moisture for smoother, hydrated looking skin

• SUNSHINE PROVITAMIN D3 – converts to VITAMIN D on exposure to sunlight for an even sun-kissed glow
• LIGHT-REFLECTING FINELY MILLED PEARLS – to illuminate for a bronzed glow

• GLOW-GLIDE POLYMERS – elastomer ‘elastic’ polymer that stretches over the skin for a ‘second-skin’ effect

• SOFT-FOCUSSING SILICA – smooths skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

• FILM-FORMING RESIN – works to seal in the skincare benefits and make it humidity-resistant and long-lasting

• SILKYPOLYMERS – for even, flawless coverage of face and body

Airbrush Bronzer Vs Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer

So I have had tonnes of requests to compare the existing powder bronzer shades with there equivalent in the new Beautiful Skin cream bronzer formulation.

I completely understand why because, having looked and swatched both formulas side to side, there is a definite difference in both depth and tone between them.

As you can see, the cream formula is deep and darker than its powder equivalent in every shade. It is also much cooler, which could lend itself really nicely to use for contouring.

Charlotte Tilbury Cream Bronzer vs Chanel

I made an application and swatch video which I think could be useful if you’re not sure about which shade to use. I also compare the Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer to the Chanel Tan de Soleil universal shade.

Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Bronzing Brush

There’s also a brand new brush joining the collection and it looks gorgeous.

• PRECISION APPLICATION – short, ergonomic handle
• SILKY SMOOTH FIBRES – to glide over all skin types
• DENSELY PACKED BRISTLES – pick-up the perfect amount of product.  
• 100% CRUELTY-FREE – ultra-soft synthetic fibres.

How To Apply It

Charlotte Tilbury are recommending a three step application process for the new cream bronzer:

1. BUFF – lightly buff onto the skin in circular motions using the Beautiful Skin Bronzing Brush, focusing on areas where the sun naturally hits, such as cheekbones, forehead, nose, and jawline
   
2. BLEND – blend the cream texture to melt into the skin and build up in layers to get your desired finish
   
3. BRONZE – use over shoulders, collarbone and limbs for an all over glow
