Charlotte Tilbury tops list of UK's richest beauty entrepreneurs

The Guardian15-03-2025

Charlotte Tilbury has topped a list of the top 30 richest beauty entrepreneurs in the UK.
The entries on the Sunday Times' inaugural Beauty Rich List have built their wealth from a range of products and services including skincare, hair care, makeup, bath bombs and tanning shops.
Tilbury, who has worked with supermodels including Bella Hadid, Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, dominates the list with an estimated fortune of £350m.
The 52-year-old founded her brand in 2013 after working as a celebrity makeup artist for evermore than 20 years.
The list includes 19 women and 14 men, and the entrepreneurs boast a combined estimated wealth of £2.174bn.
Other magnates on the list include John Frieda, known for his Frizz-Ease hair range, and Trinny Woodall, from BBC TV series What Not to Wear, who launched her own makeup and skin care brand Trinny London in 2017.
Robert Watts, compiler of the list, said: 'There are so many inspiring people with rags to riches stories here.
'Our Beauty List includes someone who came to the UK as a child refugee, another who was homeless and camping in woodland during his teens.
'There are others who left school with few or no qualifications to their name, one who was expelled. We have entries who suffered hair loss and very serious skin conditions that led them to create their own treatments which they later started to sell.
'All these people went on to build successful beauty brands making products people love, creating jobs, contributing decent sums to the public finances and of course making many of us look and feel a lot better along the way.'
Phoebe McDowell, beauty and interiors director of the Sunday Times, said: 'Beauty is big business, and this inaugural list demonstrates the power of creativity and innovation in the sector. These entrepreneurs have not only built brands but changed the way we think about hair, makeup, and skincare.'
The list excludes individuals and families where a company accounts for less than 25% of their estimated wealth.

Friday's record-breaking £208m Euromillions: Tickets, draw time, prize money and how to play

Is it your lucky night? The Euromillions jackpot has soared to £208 million – more than Adele's net worth and the biggest prize ever seen in the UK. Here's how to enter and what you could win.

Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... The Euromillions jackpot has hit a record-breaking £208m and it could be the biggest prize anybody has ever won in the UK. The previous record stands at £195m when an unnamed punter in Gloucester scooped the the-record prize but that could be beaten in tonight's draw. It was already a record £199m when Tuesday's prize went unclaimed and the new rollover amount takes it over £200m for the first time. The winner will instantly be richer than Adele, whose net worth is listed as £175m according to the Sunday Times Rich List. It will also put the winner above pop superstar Dua Lipa (£115m) and level with former One Direction singer Harry Styles. Winners will have to match all five main lottery numbers in the draw plus both Lucky Stars numbers. If you match every number but only one Lucky Star the Euromillions predicts you will win a prize of around £130,000. There are smaller prizes available too with two main numbers bagging you £2.50, three numbers wins £6 and four numbers wins £25.60. For every Euromillions ticket you buy, you are also automatically entered into the UK Millionaire Maker game that guarantees a £1m prize for one ticket every week. The deadline for buying tickets to the draw is 7.30pm on Friday 6 June and the draw itself usually takes place around 8.30pm, with results available almost immediately after the draw. You can buy tickets for the draw on the National Lottery website but there is also the option to buy up to 500 tickets for £9.99 as part of a Euromillions syndicate. It works by joining a group of people buying a large amount of tickets with the prize shared between everybody in the syndicate. The deal is available on Wowcher and lets you have 500 chances to get the winning numbers for £9.99. You can buy it here.

The Maebe founder gave her beauty regime an update during a recent family holiday with Bambi to Dubai, which left her skin looking naturally bronzed, glowy and radiant, yet not too overdone. Turns out the secret to Molly's make-up haul is REFY's new Summer Sculpt Collection – so obviously we need it. Molly shared a video of her make-over on her TikTok account, which seemed to take a mere few minutes – exactly what we need when getting ready in the summer months. She captioned the post: 'The same makeup look for 6 years. Did I achieve a more summery look? @REFY what magic are you putting into your glosses!?' The former Love Island contestant has made it known she is a fan of the Refy Cream Bronzer and Cream Blush for years, which are included in the bundle from Jess Hunt's beauty label that is now on sale.

She went on to apply a MAC Cosmetics foundation she has relied on previously with concealer under the eye, before she turned back to her Refy essentials. Molly used the dual end Duo Brush to buff REFY's Cream Bronzer into her cheeks, which she insisted is 'the one product I struggle to live without'. She went on: 'This one goes on so seamlessly, there's no patches. For me, I need make-up I can put on and it very easily looks nice, because I have no idea what I'm doing.' The mogul went on to sweep REFY's Cream Blush in shade Malaya, which is one of her 'absolute favourites', on the apples of her cheeks and nose for a natural and sun-kissed look. Molly continued her regime by adding a touch of Gloss Highlighter to the tops of her cheekbones and the tip of her nose, before she combed Refy's Brow Sculpt through her brows, which she insisted leaves no white residue. Moving on to her eyelashes, Molly swept the Lash Sculpt lengthening mascara through her eyelashes, which she was blown away by. Speaking in the clip, she said: 'It's such a good mascara it literally doesn't miss a single lash. I didn't put on much, but if I layered up they would have gone mental.'

Get Molly-Mae's summer holiday glow with this REFY beauty set that is £36 off

The Love Islander shared her newest beauty routine with her devoted TikTok fanbase. Molly-Mae recently enjoyed some downtime in Dubai following the release of her 'Behind It All' documentary on Amazon. As usual, the Love Islander looked radiant and glowing. The 25 year-old often manages to impress us with her beauty looks, as she admits to sticking with her tried-and-tested products for one makeup look that can be worn to red carpet events and day-to-day events. However, for the first time, the blonde beauty decided to "switch up" her look during the last day of her Dubai vacation, with her glowy, golden glow being all thanks to REFY. Taking to TikTok, Molly shared with her 4.1million followers her upgraded routine that was compromised of multiple products from the cosmetics brand that can be found in the brand new Summer Sculpt Collection - and it is currently on offer. REFY Summer Sculpt Collection £146 £110 REFY Buy here Product Description After admitting she need to "switch up" her beauty routine, Molly told her fans: "If you follow me on Youtube, you'll know I literally have one makeup look that I repeat constantly, and I am so over it." To prep her skin, the Love Islander began by using the REFY Glow & Sculpt Face Primer (40ml), worth £24, to help keep her makeup look in place during the scorching 42C heat of Dubai. Fortunately, this particular product is said to provide a makeup grip for up to eight hours, while the built-in roller applicator works to reduce puffiness and add definition to the face. She then managed to add a bronzed look with the REFY Cream Bronzer in the shade Sand (£18), a product she "struggles to do her makeup without". Applying it with the REFY Duo-Brush, Molly praised the application that she said went on "seamlessly." To add a touch of colour, she then followed it up with "one of her favourites", the REFY Cream Blush in shade Malaya (£16). Designed to be highly pigmentated and weightless on the skin, it is said to offer a "sun kissed blush." Also included in the set is the REFY Gloss Highlighter (£18), a non-sticky and lightweight formula that the 25 year-old then used to add a touch of shine to her shoulders and the tip of her nose. Infused with vitamin E, this particular product boasts a universal shade that is designed to be used on all skin tones and types. Said to give that "perfect glass-like glow", it can be used on the cheekbones, eyelids, under brow, cupid's bow, lips and collarbones. For those who are obsessed with Molly-Mae's fluffy eyebrows, then it's all thanks to the Brow Sculpt (£18) that boasts a wax-gel hybrid formula that helps to keep brows in place for 12-hours. Beauty deal of the week It's almost Father's Day, and are you in need of some gift inspiration? If you don't want to buy a last minute gift, then we have you covered, as a bottle of aftershave is always a good shout and Debenhams has just cut the Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Eau De Toilette from £92 to just £55.20 for a large 100ml bottle. There is also a smaller 60ml bottle that is a bit cheaper, with the price being reduced by 37 per cent from £68 to £43. Since reviews say it "stands out from the crowd", it's a deal worth bagging for dad. Launched in 2006, this YSL fragrance has been described as "a fragrance for the urban and charismatic 21st century male". For the guy in your life who likes to smell a little different, then this is the bottle to reach for. It opens on sparkling notes of bergamot, zesty cedarwood and Chinese ginger that has been met with the middle notes of violet leaves and basil flowers, offering a floral and spicy contrast. It is said to end on base notes of sandalwood, Virginia cedar wood and Haitian vetiver to "highlight this charismatic and magnetic fragrance." Those who want to stand out from the crowd will appreciate the YSL L'Homme Eau De Toilette, as it has earned a 4.7 rating from Debenhams fragrance buffs who have said it is "unusual" and "always gets compliments." One positive review read: "An unusual and outstanding men's perfume! What an interesting fresh yet a hint of spice men's perfume! It's different. Stands out from the crowd. Purchase the Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Eau De Toilette (100ml) in the Debenhams sale here. Adding in the Lash Sculpt Mascara (£20) that "doesn't miss a single lash", the blonde beauty kept it looking natural by not layering it too much, keeping it more muted for during her holiday. To give her Dubai glow the finishing touch, she then applied the REFY Lip Gloss (£16) in shade Topaz to give her pout that glossy, hydrated look. Designed with a unique metal applicator, this gloss helps to keep lips cool and fresh. Molly-Mae fans can get her Dubai holiday glow by purchasing the REFY Summer Sculpt Collection for £110, down from £146, here. While REFY might be new to her cosmetics routine, Molly-Mae is also a huge fan of L'Oréal Paris, confirming that the brand's £11.99 True Match Plumping Tinted Serum gives the "perfect glow" for that no-makeup appearance. Another brand often found in her beauty bag is Fenty Beauty, after she recently raved over the results of the Butta Drop Hydrating Milk, £28 at Boots, as "one of the best" she had ever used.
