Makeup | Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Bronzer Review

Charlotte tilbury airbrush bronzer in shade medium 2 review

Today, I thought I would add my two pence on one of the many new additions to Charlotte Tilbury’s makeup line – the Airbrush Bronzer in 2 Medium! I lusted after this all summer but just couldn’t bring myself to spend £39 on it and I find CT discounts are usually capped at 10% off or the brand is excluded altogether. I finally made the purchase when Space NK did their £15 off a £60 spend and made the most of the discount with a few other purchases too!

First off, this is the largest bronzer I own by a mile, at 18g it’s a whopper! No risk of me hitting pan or running out any time soon so I guess that price tag becomes a little easier to swallow! By comparison, NARS Laguna is 8g and Fenty Sun Stalkr is 6.23g. With only four shades, it’s not the most inclusive and I have to say that the second shade Medium is not actually as dark as I was expecting and I wondered if I could have got away with 3 Tan which is a little shocking considering how fair/pale I am!

Not being as dark as I expected is not necessarily a bad thing as it means I can easily build up the colour. The powder is very finely milled and I wouldn’t say its hugely pigmented – again not a bad thing in my eyes – and this really does give a beautiful airbrushed finish as the name would suggest. It’s smooth to apply, gives my face some subtle warmth and blends seamlessly into the rest of my makeup leaving no harsh, hard to blend lines. It’s matte too but not flat and I really am blown away with the formula!

 

Not sure why I sound so shocked as I love all the Charlotte Tilbury products I have and in particular the bronze shade from Bronze and Glow is a long term favourite of mine! The only thing I would say is that on my oily/combo skin I do notice some slight fading/wearing off close to my ear where I am on the phone for work. This isn’t something that’s noticeable to other people and is a recurring problem I have with all bronzers not just this one!

The compact itself, apart from being a bitch to photograph, is absolutely beautiful, it’s like a giant shell! It’s size doesn’t make it feel overly heavy and it’s sleek and got a good size mirror too. I don’t want to jinx myself but I feel like if I dropped it the powder would break in an instant so let’s hope I don’t get butter fingers!

I’ve included some unedited swatches with some of my other bronzers so you can get an idea of how the shade compares, hopefully it helps! I am forever looking up swatches of products I am interested in especially now when I can’t get to test them out at the actual counter! If you like these types of reviews check out my NARS Laguna one too!

  3. I've been loving this bronzer and I'm quite a bronzer junkie! The size does make it difficult to store with my other bronzers but nevertheless it's so good!

  6. Loved reading this in-depth review! I have been like that with some bronzers too, thinking it would look quite dark but it ends up not being super pigmented. I usually love using bronzers like that for all over my face, and will probably do a bit of contour with a slightly darker, more cool toned bronzing powder, then go all over with a bronzer like this to blend it all out and give an overal bronze look to my face.

    I guess the price is a bit high but since you get so much product in it, I feel like it's justifyable to get this. I love the formula of the face powder so if this is anything like that one, I'll probably really like this bronzer too! I'm trying to get through the bronzers I currently own but when I've managed to get a good dip into those I'll make sure to check this one out!

  8. what a great review! It really is a huge bronzer, I knew it was big, but I had no idea just how big. It's a bit of a shame about the shade range and that this is light even with it being the second shade. It does look so beautiful though xx

  9. The only reason why I've never bought anything from this brand when I was abroad (because it's not sold where I live) is the price range - right now it's really out of my budget. One day, when I'm able to afford something, this bronzer will be a huge contender as it looks wonderful based on your review! <3

  11. I have been curious about this bronzer for the longest time now, but after buying Gucci, I can't justify spending so much on another bronzer lol I am glad you are enjoying yours, but will agree that they have to add at least a few deeper shades xx
