Charlotte Tilbury's new sculpting face palette is a perfect beginner's contouring kit

Independent15-05-2025

Charlotte Tilbury fans, listen up: the glamorous make-up artist has launched four new facial sculpting formulas. She's been dominating the world of contour since the Hollywood wands launched in 2017, and now, after extending the shade range earlier this year, she's released a two-step lip contour system, a dimension-building face palette and a dual-end precision sculpting brush.
Called 'super nudes', these new rollouts – one of which is actually a revival from 2019 – will join Tilbury's existing collection of nude lipsticks (£29, Charlottetilbury.com), liners (£25, Charlottetilbury.com), eyeshadows (£47, Charlottetilbury.com) and wands (£30, Charlottetilbury.com). The goal? 'To cheat the perfect facial symmetry,' says Tilbury, who describes the range as a full face of shapewear.
In fact, Tilbury goes as far as to say that the contour system will 'give an instant lifted, snatched and defined effect.' These claims are all well and good, but as far as I'm concerned, the only thing capable of achieving that quick a transformation is a hefty syringe of dermal filler – and, trust me, I've considered it. Then again, what if these products actually live up to the marketing? I put them to the test to find out.
How I tested
With my lip cheat pencil (£22, Charlottetilbury.com), plumpgasm lip gloss (£27, Charlottetilbury.com), nudegasm face palette (£60, Charlottetilbury.com) and shapewear brush (£28, Charlottetilbury.com) in tow, I applied my make-up as usual with Tilbury's new sculptors slotted in. Following the MUA's instruction, I applied the 'sculpt' end of the lip cheat pencil to the shadowy areas of my mouth (lip line and outer corners), using the lighter 'fill' colour across the centre and then topping it off with a sheer layer of the 'diamond' plumpgasm. Combining the shapewear brush and my own bronzer and blush brushes, I used the nudegasm face palette to accentuate bone structure, applying the ashy shades to my face's natural hollows and the shimmers to its high points.
Why you can trust IndyBest reviews
Having reviewed Charlotte Tilbury products for multiple publications, across the brand's foundations, cream bronzers and more, I'm well-versed in the brand's range of products. I've also tested the best-selling wands and, at the brand's flagship store opening, witnessed Tilbury herself explaining the proper use and application for all the sculpt and glow formulas.

SO proud of myself as I was awake most of the night thinking shall I just not go... 'As I hug my baby felt like I was awake all night kissing her, she is nearly 4 years old and I've never ever left her to go away or do anything for me.' She continued: 'Thank you @ITV @itvoffical and all of the TOWIE family @towie for helping me with this and most importantly something I'm going share with you very soon that's helped me come this far.'

Discontinued huge Cadbury chocolate bar reduced to £1.25 from £5 at major supermarket

CADBURY lovers were thrilled to spot a long-discontinued chocolate bar for sale at B&M for a reduced price. The chocolate block was spotted by a fan when shopping at the discount retail store. 1 The Cadbury Dairy Milk 110g bar, which comes in a special 'Congratulations' gift sleeve originally scanned for an eye-watering £5. But the mouthwatering treat will only set punters back £1.25 after making a return to retailers. Sweet-toothed revellers flocked to hail the find. "I want one," one shopper said. A second added: "Yummy!" A third revealed: "I got three today. "They've already been eaten." Cadbury has more new products coming next month. It is adding to their Twirl range with a limited-edition Twirl White Dipped bar, which will be available from early June 2025. This new version combines the classic Twirl milk chocolate layers with a smooth coating of white chocolate. We've outdone ourselves with this one' say Cadbury Ireland as they reveal new limited edition bar 'coming soon The iconic chocolate brand shared the news in a post on Facebook earlier this month. "OK but we've really outdone ourselves with this one," it told chocoholics. It described the new flavour as "unreal, indulgent, smooth, swirly, creamy, melty, new, and mouthwatering." However, the confectionery veterans also revealed that this new buy "won't be around forever". So once this exciting new bar hits shelves, Cadbury fans may want to stock up while they can. "Introducing Twirl White Dipped, keep your eyes peeled for when you can get your hands on it," the post read. The launch image showed the famous flaky texture of a Twirl bar en-coated in white chocolate instead classic milk chocolate. Cadbury representatives confirmed the bar is set to hit shelves on June 2. Making a comeback Earlier this month, chocolate fans were buzzing with excitement after spotting a new Cadbury treat that brings back fond memories of a beloved classic. The discovery was shared in the popular Facebook group, Food Finds UK, where shoppers were quick to notice its striking similarity to the nostalgic Cadbury Tasters. The new treat, named Cadbury Dairy Milk Balls, is said to resemble the discontinued Tasters, which first appeared in 1996. These small, round Dairy Milk chocolates were similar to Maltesers but lacked the crunchy centre. Despite their rich, chocolatey taste, Cadbury Tasters were quietly discontinued in the mid-2000s due to low sales. Top discontinued products Here are our top discontinued snacks - including picks from our team... Fabulous Bakin' Boys Cupcakes Consumer reporter Emily Mee says: "It was always a good day when I spotted these in my lunch box at school. Putting a layer of chocolate on top of a vanilla cupcake is a simple idea but a genius one. I would pay good money to try these again..." Ready Salted Chipsticks Head of Consumer Tara Evans says: "Ready Salted Chipsticks. Why did they get rid of this classic flavour? Some people think ready salted is boring - but why mess with a classic? I often feel taunted when I see the salt and vinegar version in shops." Coco Pops Rocks Tooti Frooties Senior consumer reporter James Flanders says: "Tooty Frooties were a chewy blast of childhood joy. Scrapped after 50 years, they were Britain's alternative to Skittles - and in an age obsessed with nostalgia, bringing them back just makes sense. Lots of dupes can be picked up at budget supermarkets but they just don't taste the same." White Maltesers While the milk chocolate version is still going strong, White Chocolate Maltesers were pulled from shelves in 2014. Mars said it was a "difficult decision" at the time, and fans still post comments on its social media pages calling for it to come back. Heinz Toast Toppers Out of all the discontinued products, this is one of the ones we see the most calls for to come back. The creamy cans came in a variety of flavours like chicken and mushroom or cheese and ham. They were binned in 2015 after delighting shoppers for decades. Cadbury Spira Another of the regular calls we see is for the Cadbury Spira to return. The chocolate featured twin bars in each pack which were formed into a spiral shape, with six hollow tubes running through each one.

EXCLUSIVE 'How can Geri rubbish the legacy of the Spice Girls... who does she think she is?': As furious row erupts, sources VERY close to the band tell KATIE HIND their withering verdicts on 'lady of the manor' Geri

When the Spice Girls lived together in their modest semi in Maidenhead, before they achieved pop stardom, they would speak endlessly about misogyny in the music industry. Repeatedly told that they wouldn't get on the cover of magazines because 'women don't sell', or being spoken to rudely by male record label bosses, they grew more and more angry. They would, I'm told, spend evenings discussing how they could change the world to make it a better place for women and girls.
