‘This glow-boosting foundation gets me more compliments than any other'
'I've tried dozens of different foundations, but this is the one I always return to whenever I need my skin to looks its very best,' says beauty editor Laura Mulley
As someone who feels most confident when my skin is looking its best, I wear some sort of face base pretty much every day. While I've been loving skin tints and tinted moisturisers recently (this one is incredible), there's one tried-and-trusted foundation that I fall back on again and again, and which always gets me compliments on my skin – and professional make-up artists love it too.
The product I'm talking about is Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte's Beautiful Skin Foundation, a gorgeous buildable, medium coverage face base that, I think, really does make skin look more beautiful: even, glowing and more youthful. It's available in 30 shades covering all skin undertones and costs £39, and a tube lasts for ages.
The main reason that I love it so much it that it gives 'proper' coverage (no hints or tints here) – something that I need, as someone who often has blemishes or redness I want to cover – but never looks patchy, cakey or like you're wearing a lot of make-up. It also gives skin the perfect amount of glow, and lasts well all day. I typically wear shade 3 Neutral, but could also wear one of the shades 4s too.
On a recent work photoshoot in which I was going to be in front of the camera, I had my make-up done by the professional MUA on set, and the base she used on me was Charlotte's Beautiful Skin Foundation; she told me how much she loves using it on clients. I actually got compliments on how good my skin looked on camera that day, which I put down to this impressive formula.
One top tip I learnt from watching her do my make-up was to not forget to blend your face base down your neck, and to brush a little of what's left over on the brush over your ears, which cam sometimes appear red.
I also recently bumped into an old friend and couldn't believe how glowing her skin looked. When I just had to ask what she was wearing, she told me it was – you've guessed it – Charlotte's Beautiful Skin Foundation.
This does give quite a 'done' look, so the only time this wouldn't be my face base of choice if I wasn't wearing any other make-up; I think it needs some mascara and blusher for balance. In this photo above I'm wearing it with Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer, £45 (it's massive), the much-loved Merit Flush Balm, £26, and my go-to mascara for length, Haus Labs B Structural Mascara, £26. At weekends or if I want a barely-there base, I'll use Jones Road Just Enough Tinted Moisturizer, £44 (you can read my full review of that here).

Kieran Trippier's wife breaks silence after England star's Chloe Ferry rumours
Kieran Trippier's estranged wife Charlotte has broken her silence following the news that the pair had decided to part ways after he was spotted getting cosy with Chloe Ferry Kieran Trippier's wife, Charlotte, has broken her silence after he was seen getting close to Chloe Ferry. Last week, the Newcastle United defender was spotted getting close to the Geordie Shore star at a party in Ibiza. The England ace who married Charlotte in 2016 has been hit by a scandal that sparked when an infamous night out saw him lifting a blonde woman during a night out with his teammates. Just last month, he was also seen with a mystery blonde woman on a night out. Charlotte, 36, was said to have been sent a video of Kieran with the woman in May. But last week, a photo showed Kieran with his hand placed on Chloe's bum as the pair partied with friends at Ibiza super club, Ushuaia, with a source saying Chloe was "having some fun." The England international, who has 54 caps, shared with his followers that he's moving forward after parting ways with his wife and the mother of his two children. Now, Charlotte, who has remained quiet throughout the situation, has spoken out and told fans she is "fine" but not ready to talk. Taking to Instagram in view of her 34,300 followers, she said she had been inundated with messages of support from women and also men who had been sending their well wishes. "I just wanted to let everyone know that I am fine," she said. Charlotte added: "Obviously, I am not ready to talk about my situation. "In time I will, when I am comfortable and the time is right, also I have three young children, haven't I, so I don't want to be putting things out there for them to see. But yeah, I just wanted to let everyone know it's not that bad, and you can get through it once you make the decision. "Like, you can get through it, the sparkle does come back, I feel like I am getting my glow back again, and yeah, like, you'll get there. So, anyone that needs any motivational speech or just some general chit chat, I'm all about mental health and stuff like that, I'm letting you know you will absolutely get through, any sort of break up or anything similar to what I'm going through." Charlotte's post which has been liked over 2,800 times was soon flooded with messages of support. Former The Only Way Is Essex star Billi Mucklow penned: "Keep sparkling beautiful." One Newcastle United fan penned: "I live in the North East and I'm a huge Newcastle fan, I love Trippier on the pitch and all he's done for the team, and if I'm being honest, I didn't want to believe what I was reading on social media about him. However, I wanted to say I've followed you for a while now and what a lovely, genuine person you seem to be. Always so happy and classy. You're so pretty, he's lost a good one there!" Charlotte replied to the fan: "Thanks so much! Tripps defo does great on the pitch and so happy for you Geordies that you are doing so well! Much love to the Geordies." "Love this! Well done for bringing awareness to your followers and other women in this situation," said a second follower. Meanwhile a third went on to write: "Top lady, he's lost a beautiful wife... If he don't know this now he will soon... As said above, I love him on the pitch as im a huge NUFC fan... However, he's let himself and his family down. Stay classy Charlotte." There seems to be no chance of a reconciliation as sources recently claimed that Charlotte is seeking legal action and is "keen to move on with her life." "Kieran is a devoted dad, but as a partner, it hasn't worked out as Charlotte had hoped," the source told The Sun. "She has moved house and started anew, so getting a divorce has been the next logical step. Charlotte wants to keep things as amicable as possible with Kieran." Writing on Instagram on Wednesday night, the footballer told fans: "Myself and Charlotte separated over a year ago. I have not commented previously as it is a private matter, and we want to protect our children. We ask the media to respect our privacy in the same way."

Kieran Trippier's estranged wife Charlotte breaks her silence on split amid his rumoured romance with Chloe Ferry - as she's supported by fellow ex WAG Billie Mucklow
Kieran Tripper's estranged wife Charlotte has broken her silence on their split and confirmed it was her decision to end the marriage before offering support to others who had 'been through what she had '. Earlier this week, following months of speculation, the footballer, 34, confirmed they'd been separated for a year, after he was spotted partying with newly-single reality star Chloe Ferry, 29. Taking to her Instagram Charlotte, 36, who shares a son and two daughters with Kieran, reassured fans she was 'fine' - and found support in the comments from fellow ex WAG Billie Mucklow, who split from Andy Carroll in September 2024. After thanking followers for their messages of support, Charlotte, who wed the footballer in 2016, said: 'I just wanted to let you know that I am fine, obviously I am not ready to talk about my situation. 'In time I will, when I am comfortable and the time is right, also I have three young children so I don't want to be putting things out there for them to see. But yeah i just wanted to let everyone know its not that bad and you can get through it once you make the decision,' She went on: 'You can get through it. The sparkle does come back, I feel likeI am getting my glow back again and yeah, like, you will get there'. Taking to the comments Billie wrote: 'Keep sparkling beautiful' to which Charlotte replied: 'right back at you! We've got this girly! Sending love'. On Wednesday Kieran took to Instagram with a statement, just days after it was claimed Charlotte, who wed the footballer in 2016, was consulting divorce lawyers. He penned: 'I have never commented on my private life but the tabloids seem to want to continue writing false narratives,' 'I feel I have no choice but to confirm publicly that myself and Charlotte separated over a year ago. I have not commented previously as it is a private matter and we want to protect to our children.' Sources say that they were keen to keep their split a secret so their kids would not have to deal with any upset. However, it has been reported that Charlotte has a new property where she lives without Keiran. Kieran was spotted partying with Geordie Shore star Chloe and her pals including Love Island star Jess Harding at Ushuaia club on the White Isle. In pictures obtained by the Sun, Kieran had his arm around Chloe and the pair were said to be 'very tactile' with each other. The insider told the publication: 'Chloe and her friends were introduced to Kieran and his mates and they partied together. She found support in the comments from fellow ex WAG Billie Mucklow, who split from Andy Carroll in September 2024. 'Kieran was very tactile and put his arm around her when they were together at the club. Chloe is newly single and she was just having some fun. 'They were together in the day and later on in the evening Chloe was with Kieran and their group of mates.' The new reports of his socialising suggest he partied with two blonde women on separate nights - one in Newcastle, before meeting Chloe in Ibiza. Charlotte thanked online someone who sent a video of her husband leaving a Newcastle nightclub on May 11 with one of the unnamed woman. The mother of two wrote: 'Love a girls' girl. Thanks babe.' Now she is pondering potential legal action over their union, the Sun reported. A source was quoted as saying: 'Charlotte has taken legal advice over her marriage. 'She has got a new house, is settled, is moving on and wants to sort it amicably and be quite mature. She feels happier away from him.' That same source also described Kieran as 'devastated' by developments. They added: 'He has been desperately trying to get back with her but she's over him.' Meanwhile ex-Liverpool striker Andy, 36, and his former TOWIE star ex Billi, 37, were together for 11 years but confirmed their split last September after secretly separating earlier in the year. In 2022, Andy's wedding to Billi was almost called off when he was pictured drunkenly passed out in bed with two women in Dubai on his stag do. After the picture emerged, it was claimed that Kieran's estranged wife began consulting lawyers about their marriage Weeks after their split, Andy and celebrity hairstylist Lou Teasdale, 42, revealed their relationship and now he is reportedly set on tying the knot with her. Andy and Lou have been holidaying together in Ibiza and sharing several loved-up snaps from the trip. But tensions between exes Andy and Billi are reportedly set to explode over his sun-soaked holiday with his new girlfriend. According to The Sun, it did not go down well with Billi's closest friends, who are furious with how her ex is behaving while she is at home with their children. A source said: 'Everyone thinks Andy is acting like an utter p***k and is making himself look like a total fool posting so many sexy shots with Lou - who he moved on with alarmingly quickly after separating from the mother of his kids. 'While he is off gallivanting around the party island, posting all these snaps that scream 'we are having hot sex!', Billi is at home looking after not only their children, but his two kids from a previous relationship with ex-fiancee Faye Johnstone. 'It's a silent gut-punch to Billie, who is an angel and adores the kids - looking after them and protecting them from this circus is her number one priority.' Andy and Billi have three children together - Arlo, Wolf, and Marvel Mae and she also raises his children Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14 from his past relationship.
