Georgia Lockstone, a journalist at Metro, has swapped her foundation for Charlotte Tilbury's new Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick and declares herself obsessed. The product, which launched recently, offers a sheer-to-light coverage with a natural, glowing finish.
The Discovery at Selfridges
A few years ago, Lockstone visited Selfridges on a quiet weekday and ended up discussing foundations with a Charlotte Tilbury counter representative. She sought a product with buildable coverage that left her skin looking naturally radiant. The representative recommended the Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick, which Lockstone loved from the first swatch and has used as her go-to ever since.
While her Beautiful Skin Foundation remains her first choice for events requiring a more polished look, Lockstone was on the hunt for something lighter for casual everyday wear. She found exactly what she needed again at Charlotte Tilbury.
Product Features and Benefits
The Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick is a lightweight foundation stick available in twenty natural-looking shades. It promises a 'ring light effect' glow, according to the brand. The formula features blurring and smoothing emollients, micro-fine pearlescent filters, and Charlotte's Light Mapping Mesh Tech™ to create a soft-focus glow. Skincare ingredients include hydrating hyaluronic acid, antioxidant-rich Vitamin E, and firming Collageneer™️ for a healthy, plump complexion.
Priced at £37, the product is a hybrid between a skin tint and a foundation, offering sheer-to-light coverage that leaves behind a natural, glowing, and healthy-looking complexion.
Personal Experience and Results
Lockstone chose the shade 4 Fair, a fair-medium shade with neutral undertones, matching her Beautiful Skin Foundation shade. She notes that she has clear, balanced skin without issues like redness, pigmentation, or acne, but her complexion can sometimes appear dull and tired.
The Unreal Skin Foundation Stick gave her skin an instant radiance boost. She found it quick and easy to blend, build up, and buff out with a dense makeup brush. It has become her go-to product for days when she works from home or runs errands and wants to look refreshed. According to Lockstone, the product evens out her complexion while still letting her skin look like skin, adding a healthy glow and just enough coverage for a polished yet natural appearance. She concludes that it gives her a fresh, well-rested look even without a full eight hours of sleep and has earned a permanent spot in her makeup bag.
